Waiting List
Hi guys
After trying to get my first set of chips for 5 months I finally registered here too.
It all started with me trying to gift myself a set of chips for Christmas. Nothing insane, just a bit fancier than the cheap plastic chips I've been playing with when my friends bring their supermarket cases... I checked the very limited choice of shops in Switzerland, and searched for a design I would like. I wanted something where the edges look more interesting than the standard single-stripe sets, something that doesn't refer to some random casino that either doesn't exist or I've never been to, and something that doesn't look tacky.
I settled on a set of "Pro Poker"-labelled chips (https://www.amazon.com/JP-Commerce-Piece-Poker-Clay/dp/B001E6QVT8) , claiming to be Clay. At this point I still thought that more weight = better. 5 months later the set still hasn't shipped, 5$ and 25$ denominations aren't available. I was determined to find these denominations somewhere else, and get the rest of the set from my original store. I found lots of shops listing these chips, most wouldn't ship to Switzerland, and the others also didn't have (enough) of my desired denoms.
Luckily in this search for my crappy chips, I found out about this forum, and about apollonchips/Sun-Fly. I sent an email to my original store to cancel the order, and instead ordered a 500-piece set of stock Mosaics from apollonchips. A very interesting design (also the edges), ceramics, casino weight, all I wanted. Yes, shipping is expensive, but shipping to Switzerland is expensive from anywhere...
Roast me about the breakdown I ordered, but I think it makes sense for me: 75x0.25, 75x1, 100x5, 100x25, 100x100, 50x500, and a dealer button.
It allows me to play 0.25/0.25 with native denominations, 0.05/0.10 with denominations meaning cents, or 1/1 or 1/2 native denominations. Additionally there should be enough difference from lowest to highest chip to play tournaments.
Now I only have a weird issue... After entering my address when ordering I wanted to revisit my order, but it already submitted the order - even though I haven't paid yet?! The order is in my account though, with status "Pending". Has anyone ever encountered that problem on apollonchips? I already used their support form, but didn't get a response.
Cheers
