the two biggest sets are clay chips, 500pc; $25 or 400pc professional set; $33

AdMMM

The chips on those site are plastic chips with a metal inlay to add weight and give the chips an authentic sound when they hit the table and what not.

The largest set is what's known as the "Numbered Dice" design. They are the most common of all "premium chips" and are a great starter set for someone who's looking to make their home game that bit more professional.

If you really want to get something special, how about this or this? Or maybe you'd like to customise the chips for him?

Also what's often overlooked by people who run their own games are quality decks of cards. The traditional plastic coated paper cards just aren't suited for Poker, so I'd recommend a deck or two of these to complement the chips

Hi Murderer,

Those two sets look really great - can i ask which one you would recommend please?

One of them mentions the clips are clay - would that perphaps be the better of the two?

Thanks a million

anyone receive an email confirmation of the order?

Wertz

One just arrived a few minutes ago. Said they'll send another when it ships.

johnny_adidas

I don't know anything about poker sets, but I just saw this on Aldi (Thursday 15th November)

Poker Set - €20

* 300 11.5g chips
* 2 decks of poker cards
* Dealer button
* 5 die
* Aluminium carry case


Probably weighted plastic, but may be a good deal for someone looking something at the lower end of the market.

Ordered a 500pc set there, price seems to have gone up though, total cost was €23. How long did it take to get that confirmation e-mail? Cheers OP

*Ordered at 10pm last night, received an order numebr but no confirmation e-mail. This happen to anyone else?

Rowley Birkin QC

Still haven't received a confirmation e-mail, anyone else have this problem?

milltown

Yup. Ordered almost two days ago (before I saw JSB's discount link) and nothing yet. Please god it hasn't gone through and I can reorder with 20% off!

johnny_adidas

mine only got sent tru after i had logged on to the website to check the order status, may have just been a coincidence though.
mine is still down as processing though and nothing gone tru on my CC, not holding out much hope at this stage

Rowley Birkin QC

I e-mailed cust. support there last night to find out what's happening. My credit card was debited the full purchase price but they e-mailed to say the order was cancelled due to inability to authorise the card.

"Thank you for your recent order. Unfortunately, your order# 19346233 was cancelled because we were unable to obtain an authorization from our charge card authorization center. Please contact your issuing bank or charge card provider to determine the reason, or you may wish to use a different charge card to place your order at this time."

Seems a slight bit dodgey to me, they had my order no. wrong as well. I e-mailed back asking them to investigate why I had been debited and no items sent, why the order no. was wrong and requested either a full refund or the order to be processed.

Any advice on how to proceed lads?

Then chances are that they where looking at the order then, so your's may still be open.

justsomebloke

just as a matter of interest how long did it take for them to take the money from your account. As my account itself, that I created the other day seems to be gone

Rowley Birkin QC

I didnt create an account on the site, just ordered the item. Someone on this thread said something about them taking $10 a month from your cc if you create an account on the site. They took the money from my cc a/c as soon as I ordered. Awaiting a reply from the above correspondence now, failing that ill be contacting my bank.

johnny_adidas

i didnt create an account either, just ordered the item. nothing showing up with online banking as being taken from my CC and the order is still at a status of processing with the retailer.

Rowley Birkin QC

Result! Got the confirmation e-mail now along with an apology for the mix-up.

johnny_adidas

just received my item shipped confirmation - things are looking up

Rowley Birkin QC

Got my set this morning, RESULT! cheers op. Labelled as Jamaican DVDS though

traceybere

got my set - great quailty

Delighted it had to be sent over burning lots of lovely jet-fuel, I have enough of those bloody eco-mentalists in college every day.
