switching the 5000 & 1000 was a good idea


The new 5000 looks great. I'm going to bypass it, though--otherwise I don't see how to get a plaque into play.

The 39mm red is not as defined as the mockup, but I still like it.

I love the nondenominational chip. I also love the 25 & 100.

My favorite plaque is the $25,000.

Now to decide on my breakdown...

I know, that was tough to do.

I ended up going with the 500's, 1k's, and 5k chips, then mostly 10k plaques, some 25k's, and a few 100,000k's.

For a 10 player table, T100,000 tourney I will be issuing

500 X10
1k X 10
5k X 9
10k Plaques X 4

I really wanted to get plaques into the starting stacks.

That looks like a good set up. I'm going with 43mm chips, and I was just going to do 100/500/1000 + 10K plaque, but I like the 25 so much I don't see how I can't work it in. My dilemma is that I have some 5k plaques with my Egyptians that never make it into the game (I start with $25/$50 blinds). I'll have to decide soon!

That's why you buy a whole new tourney set and go with a T100,000 set. I start the blinds at 500/1000 and do a slow progression. If your interested in the structure let me know.

I have not idea what customs would cost for you.

To answer your other question in the other thread. Just go to the very first post in this specific thread to order samples or sets of the Zombie chips.

Unfortunately, I do not have a definite answer for you. These will be shipped to you by UPS and we put a low value on the packing list. We do have a to put some value because insurance is based on this value.

You may want to contact UPS and ask them. Just let them know that you are importing ceramic chips and would like to know the approximate costs of fees will be.

We do regularly ship worldwide, and especially ship to Canada a lot. There are repeat customers so it must not be too bad. Though, again, I don't really know the details.

I appreciate you replying to my question and thank you! if it's going to end up less than $1 per chip, i'm buying 1000 for a .25/.50 NLHE set.

There is no duty on chips, but you have to pay a brokerage fee
(UPS is $30-50 USPS is cheaper) and you will have to pay the gst and pst.
