Hey all...

Can anyone comment on the serice/quality from these two sites...i am interested in the corresponding chip purchases... but as i live so far way down under in australia, need to buy from someone that is solid and trustworthy....

1) Ultra Poker Supply
http://www.ultrapokersupply.com/servlet/Detail?no=537

2) Discount Casino Gear
http://www.discountcasinogear.com/st...oduct3666.html

I understand most things with big shipping costs, and that usps is alot cheaper than ups...
i know im not buying many chips, i am just a hobbyist that haves a 500pc desert palms set already for bigger games.... and would like a nice smaller set of high quality paulsons for my smaller ones.....

Is there anyone else worthy to buy the same item that would ship usps or sell it cheaper than these...? Any other ways around the shipping dilema...

Thankx all....

First of all welcome - you've come to the right place.

I can't comment on the specific retailers you mentioned, having never dealt with them.

But at the bottom of every page are the chiptalk.net sponsors - check them out.

Also, check out the M2M section here on the site, there can be some good deals there too.

Discount Casino Gear is a super site to deal with, owner Tom DeMay is one the best to work with!!

Good Luck!

That seems like an odd breakdown having more $100 chips than $25 chips. Why are they broken down that way?

wow... DCG will be no good for me in australia...

They only do bank wire transfers, then charge $50 on top.... then add SHIPPING.... waaaay too expensive....

So noone has dealt with ultra poker supply then...??
I have read 5 star deal is hit and miss sometimes...

Maybe there is someone there in the US that lives close to DCG, where i can transfer them the cash, they buy the item locally for me...then ship it to me USPS...??

Has anyone done this before...and can they be trusted...??? ( no swapping any of their warped paulsons for my newies...heheheheh )

Well, I just had a GREAT experience with Discount Casino Gear. While I was shuffling and playing with my red faux clays, one of them broke. So, I emailed them and asked of the possibilities of paying for a single chip to include shipping. He emailed me back saying it would be no problem. Well, I am away from home and my wife called me yesterday saying she received a single red chip. I was like WOW, I didn't even send any money. The invoice said "defective product replacement." The most amazing thing is the chip itself sells for $0.045 each and it cost him over $2.00 to ship. NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I ordered some stuff from Ultra before....Its drop shipped from 5 Star deal, and it took them a week to ship....but, they did send me 2 free shirts and card protectors to make up for it.....

They are reputable, albiet slow.....

I've bought from Ultra and DCG before, they're both reliable and responsive to emails. For Pharaohs, I like to go ApachePokerChips though. Takes a day or two for the chips to get from NV to Los Angeles, and they always have my chips in stock.
