If they don't, I actually am talking to Sun-fly about another issue and I have an idea that should get everyone in line.
I guess I can tell you guys now. I couldn't order orchid 500's due to a serious lack of demand. Literally only 25 were ordered and the minimum order was 100.
My idea is I was going to order 100 of them as a separate order and after keeping 25 for myself, give them away to people who have helped make this a reality, at least 5 would go to everyone who ordered >300 chips with extra consideration for Sheikh for doing the inspiration, you for making this group buy a success and Woody for making this design a resounding success. I honestly could not have done it without you guys.
If your chips don't turn up (and the post office was absolutely zero help today) then I will try to get the board to chip in to get the set replaced. I'm not a money person but I cannot afford to stick close to $1000 of my own money out to make this right. It would only be less than that if we did another round of group buying.
UPDATE: Because I spent over an hour waiting on the post office's "customer no service" line, I only got 3 packages out before the post office closed. @Goody8504, @p5woody and @Jeevansluck, your chips were sent out today. The rest of you I will get out probably Monday since Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday have really bad heatwaves.

Steve don't stress about our chips buddy! For one they will show up eventually and 2... anything that happens at the post office isn't your fault! You offered insurance, said again... are you guys sure before they went out. Those who gamble like myself and hate soendingthe extra moneymaker that choice!! Rest easy sir, this isn't on you!!

Here's the thing: I owe three people for making this a success.
@sheikh617 because his Bean Town Poker Room was the whole reason I was inspired to do a custom set. Yes. I had planned 3 years ago to do a set called The Starlight Lounge which had a girl that finished skinny dipping and looking up at the stars but that got stuck in idea hell. This one was seen to completion on a set that honestly was a chip I didn't know about but kinda backed into it after I was getting hosed on the forums about solid Paulson THC's.
@p5woody for two reasons. First, I gave him very little feedback and what he came up with blew my mind, and second, because he had a six month queue and started shooting prototypes at me in just 3 1/2 weeks.
Thirdly, you. I did a group buy but only had about 1200 chips sold when you spread the word about this set.
I had a bunch of complete sets that went out, and yours was the biggest. I know, because I mirrored it for myself thinking I was never going to hit 3k chips.
The people that bought full sets are balls-out amazing. Not going to lie to you. I also would like to see someone put those chips to good use.

Well I deserve zero credit buddy, I absolutely love the chips... they had a traditional chip look, with bright subtle edge spots! Very modern inlay with a cool color scheme. The funny thing is when I saw the moon phases on the chips, I was sold! Absolutely love that little extra effort there!
I have a feeling the chips will show up on Monday!! We usually wait all week when orders should be arriving... get stressed! Then Monday comes and literally packages are falling off our porch! And the porch is 14' x 40'!!! If they are not there on Monday... that is not a good thing. But again you did your part Steve and I appreciate everything you did including allowing others to join you on this project!!

I made a big mistake everyone. @davethesave came in late and ordered a sample set yet I never recorded it down for him.
Since this is my fault, I hereby wish to make it right to him. I will sell him one sample set including a bounty and a blue 5k (I am temporarily out of pink 5k's but will give him a blue) for the low low price of nothing. All he has to do is send me his address within the next 5 days.
Sale ends 12:00 Pacific Daylight time August 20, 2020.

Dave has given me his address. what happened was I sealed and mailed a package to @Jeevansluck containing exactly 1 sample set and 3 dealer buttons. Dave jumped in right before post 175. This was my fault as I forgot to count his order in and combine it with Jeevans' order. So what I will do to make it up is I will send him a sample set for free.
The rest of you: Basically I have a fire sale going on. All chips must go.
Here's what I have for everyone else after next week:
25 -- 23
100 -- 29
500 -- 43
1000 -- 28
5000 (pink) -- 21
5000 (blue) -- 10
25000-- 38
BOUNTY -- 4

I don't mind waiting and seeing if someone else needs chips first buddy. I have a fully playable set.

As I said earlier, once Priority 4's die down, I'll be doing a fire sale and just getting rid of my extras. I may keep a couple of sample sets for giveaways to people. You know, that may be an idea. A round of Texas Hold 'em like Rbonus did for his cohorts and partners in crime to give away a sample set.

Someone else will be joining the intrepid ranks of the owners of the coolest chips on the planet. @judgeanjury won my Texas Hold 'em giveaway and will be getting a free sample set as a reward for being awesome (or getting a Jack-high straight in the game, one or the other)

PRIORITY THREE: I have sent out some more packages today.
A lot of you who ordered or were given sample sets for your consideration have not given me your address. They include the following: @timinater, @warewulf, @PAZ, @Phish1321, @EGLIDE73, @SixSpeedFury, and @doublequeen.
@JustDave, I have your address but forgot to put your sample set in an envelope. It is now in an envelope and as it goes out, I will send you your set when I make the next run to the post office which will probably be Friday due to this painful heat wave that is supposed to hit here Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
PRIORITY FOUR (including giveaway winners @davethesave and @judgeanjury. I will be getting a few more chips in and your sample sets will come out of those (I currently do not have any 25's left but am getting another 25 in), all your chips will be out of those.
All priority 4's are people who ordered or were comped chips after I started collecting money (i.e. post 175)

There should be two sample sets included for the missus plus a dealer button since she ordered it =)
Also I have to admit the hybrids have a nice touch to them.

That's one thing I will say has been a constant, people love this design and I think it's great too.
Very nice. I look forward to hearing what your friends say about the chips. I have to admit the ceramic hybrids have a nice touch to them. Full ceramics look nice but sometimes don't look quite the same as professional chips/Paulsons while clay chips constantly need oil but look fantastic.

Did you order a sample set? If not, I can sell you one. I will be getting some value chips in and I will sell you anything I have left.
I'm holding on to one sample set in case I made a mistake in shipping but when the dust clears, I will have some value chips and a few bounties left for purchase. if no mistakes are made, I will sell you the complete sample set. I honestly thought I ran out but I made two envelopes for a guy and realized "Whoops".
