 HELP! Chips in the UK |
 |
Hey guys,
Would really love some help trying to get some decent chips over here in blighty!!
Lookin to get ma hands on some Nevada Jacks or something similar but can't seem to find a supplier in Britain.. Any ideas??
Alternatively somewhere stateside that isn't gonna charge loads for shipping... sidepot got a good deal on Neophytes at the moment 80bucks for 500.. but the shipping is $170 !!
Would appreciate any info
Cheers.

Well, I hummed and hawed for a while but have (for the time being at least) gone for some Nexgen Lucky Bees. I did kind of fancy some customs but frankly my budget doesn't stretch to $500-$1000 for the chips and then shipping, VAT etc.
I think my 650 Bees with labels will total at about £170. 500 Paulsons would be I reckon £400 minimum, although maybe cheaper with some more thorough research amongst US stockists re delivery. Then again, after discovering all these poker chips sites I think I'm just delaying the inevitable upgrade...

its a nightmare being in the UK to get some decent chips at a reasonable price!
shipping from the US costs a bomb and is too much for me! so, uk suppliers, we can get the Nexgen range, dice, suits, 11.5g diamonds, Nevada Jacks (@50p/c!!!!!!) and a few others cheaper type chips!
the only place which do good chips is marlowchips. however, their prices are unbelievably expensive! plus, the only chips from marlow that i would pay that price for were the TR King classics but they have been discontinued now! if only Nexgen did a solid chips range with no edge spots!!! then i'd be happy. the TR king deadwood chips are absolutley gorgeous but retail at £435 for 500, can't justify spending that much on chips (yet)
eurocoin provides an outlet for Chipco Chips but i haven't been in contact with them yet about prices. however, i do know that they do custom chipcos but again, they will come with a heafty price tag!!!
arrghhhh...... i want a decent set of chips but i don't want to pay over the odds prices, wish we had the choice as they do over the pond!
rant over
Mike
