Don't forget tax and brokerage. I expect that I'll have to pay $40 when I pick up the package from CP.

Once I add in the shipping, tax and brokerage, it works out to about $0.45 CDN /chip overall, and that was with paying in full last October when the conversion rate through PP was $.89. Still cheaper than china clays in Canada (best price today for similar china clay chips purchased in Canada is $0.48 CDN /chip to my door), so I'm not complaining.

There's never a brokerage fee with USPS that I've run into and certainly never tax.
 
FWIW, I only have 18 boxes worth of chips, and would have been happy with $70 shipping.

I wrote Kim at PGI and she responded promptly with the following: It still doesn't really answer my questions, since when I calculate 4x MFRB with $200 insurance and sig conf, it comes to $58.40, and then add on $9 for the boxes $67.40. take that away from $93 = $25 more.

Not at all happy about the $93, but can't see as I have a choice. I want chips, I pay shipping. I'll bite the bullet. :(

I suspect the packages are being shipped with ADULT signature required (CPC shipments are) which adds a significant additional fee. I just checked and it came out right at $20 per MFRB with insurance and adult signature. Add in the boxes and like $0.75/box for packing supplies and you're there. I have exactly half your order (9 boxes and 2 MFRB's) and shipping bill was $46.
 
Got my invoice today! Have to wait until next Monday to pay, but for 4100 chips it was $118.82 shipping, but after 2.5 years of planning, waiting, etc, I don't care. :)

If that's the case, the pricing makes sense. I don't like it, but it jives. However, I personally HATE the signature required aspect. It adds $21 to my shipping and is a PITA because they never deliver when an adult is home, which means I have to drive to the post office anyway, lol...

I'm excited about these chips! I can't believe they're actually here (after two years).
 
I would hate the signature required aspect of it, but then I realized I'd hate the chips going missing more, so I'll deal with it.
 
These arrived yesterday, and someone at PGI hasn't snapped a pic and posted? I particularly want some pics of the giant pallet(s) these arrived on, lol...

It's been 2 years, we want Pr0n!!!!!!!! (so long as it doesn't detract too much from getting these bad boys inventoried and reshipped out). A quick cell phone pic or two would be cool!!!!

There are pics on the blu wall as of an hour ago
 
wtf? Just read this on the blue wall from Palm Gaming

UPDATE- after a meeting with my partners and an email from the GB designer who is far too greedy for our liking- we are shipping the chips for the GB and thats it. We are NOT doing any dealer buttons or chip trays- you can speak with your GB designer and he can handle this for you. We're finished with this GB after the chips ship out and this will probably be the last venture we do for Chiptalk. We are really pissed Mr Krag- you fail to realize that if we didnt handle this GB it wouldnt have gotten done- and you wouldnt be receiving the large hunk of change for your design - let alone wanting a rediculous amount of money on each dealer buton we make for the members of this Group Buy . You can make the dealer buttons or get china to make them or someone else- I dont care. You can also supply the chip trays and anything else you want to for this project. I am having the molds scrapped for this chip after ths GB is finished.
 
meh, I'd prefer to keep the artificial drama contained over there.

I will be starting a new group buy thread for CPS add-on items within the next couple of days. Keep tuned...
 
chips look pretty sweet imo. i'd be curious to see how they handle, but i don't think anyone in this neck of the woods bought any.

wow those chips look SO f'ing great! I can't wait! Also, I posted the above drama before reading the other three pages (still making my way through) but hopefully has a positive ending :)
 
I obviously didn't buy enough of these. After such a long journey, this is how I finally feel....

 
I'm glad I was able to grab a set of these. :) After I get the PCF chips made, I will have 5 tourney sets. :o (BCC GCRs, Paulson GCRs, Stardust, CPS, and PCF)

I better make more room. I just added an extra shelf the other day for the Paulson GCRs that are in transit.

I can't wait to put together one of those schnazzy-looking Day 5 chipstacks with my set when it arrives.
