Sooo this might be why things suck for us.

Yea international shipping is the bane of my existence right now. COVID and a few other factors have played into this. But it's not just shipping from the Pacific Rim. We've had containers from the EU (France / Germany) into the US and Canada suffer significant delays. But with Chinese New Year upcoming, I'd say any container not booked on a ship within the next week won't leave China until end of February.

And it's not just ocean freight delays. Inland freight is backed up as well. Had a rail transport from Vancouver to Toronto get delayed 2 weeks because of no space available. Domestic freight costs are also going up.

And don't get me started on Customs. Clearance times are up, and they seem to be inspecting more and more containers. And if they pull a shipment for detailed inspection and/or x-ray, forget about it. If they do that, you as the shipper are on the hook for those additional costs to inspect and store and have to take it on the chin. And it's not cheap. That full 20' container shipment from VAN to TO; dedicated container full of 19 metric tons of specialty cement in bags. With the additional xray and storage costs, I broke even on it.

It's still sitting in Customs.

If anyone hasn't seen the great Terry Gilliam flick Brazil, prepare your intoxicant of choice and watch it.

Nothing like ~~federal bureaucracy~~

State level bureaucrats aren't much better in some states. (which we've all been dealing with perfect examples of the stupidity/corruption of most of the year).

The scary part is, a large percentage think it's a good thing & vote for more of it. (hence, the signature line)

Agreed! I can't tell you how much I wish I could be packing and shipping things out.

[SeanGecko]

They have our products in the US? But you have to chat with China about the shipment?

 

[Venturalvn]

Before the product reaches the customer, the situation in mishandled parcels is always handled between the vendor and the shipping company.

[RudysNYC]

How many individual orders were there? 80?

Any chippers work in a federal courthouse or something? I’m starting to worry CBP referred our chips to FBI

OMG, It is awesome when you finally see yours in this thread. The colors seem really close, the "purple" 500 feels a bit dark.

Is this the "widened" white around the suits/vegas @Kid_Eastwood

Thanks for the preview @SeanGecko !!

Indeed, the Purple is a little bit dark.
Seems to be the thicker white outline. It renders well imho.

EDIT :

@BEANO52 , as discussed by MP, on the picture where the chips are in the case, the T500 look perfect in fact.

They turn great !
There will be no dirty stack issue with the 100 and 500. I'm pleased with the colors for these chips.

Anyone know if there are any samples from this supplier out there done on the plain smooth mold?

The color wheel sample chips. They're 43mm, but some are smooth and some are textured. There's not a lot of difference.

Here's a photo. Top row are smooth. Bottom row are textured. PM me if you'd like me to email you the full resolution photo.

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

I can't tell the difference

Thanks, but I've got the full res image, and the .ai file... was looking to get at least one I could physically hold in my hand. If anyone is done with a color sample set, I'd be interested in buying/borrowing/renting.

Mine are available to borrow. I don't need them anytime real soon, but I do want them back. Just pay postage both ways. PM me.

 

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

I can't tell the difference

Looking at the photo, on the purple G3 pie, you can see that the texturing ends about 1/2mm before the edge. I can only see it with the naked eye under bright light, and I can just barely feel a difference.

You can also see it pretty clearly on the bottom three pies of the blue H chip.

Noted, just might take you up on that if I can't scare up a set someone can part with.
