In the US . . . should I just go with as many LFRBs as it takes or is there some cheaper and/or easier option for such a large batch? Speed isn't important in this case.
Shipping 6000 chips? (2 Viewers)

I would be careful using the LFRB. Sometimes they get real heavy and then they end up on the bottom of all of the piles of boxes when piled up in the warehouse and truck. This leads to split seams and edges. Good luck
UPS might be a safer option . Might cost a tad more
Doubled LFR boxes, 900 chips per box.
Yeah, I'd listen to the guy who has shipped about half a million chips.
Can't wait for pics of what comprises those 6000 chips
This is the only way I would use LFRBs. They added protection should keep the chips safe

Why not ship it LTL? 7 LFRB will cost $120+ and take a lot of time to pack properly. Put them on a skid and they won’t get tossed around.

How do I go about doing this? Is there an obvious carrier to go with?
That's a good idea too. Crate it and screw it down to a pallet.
You can try a site like FreightQuote.com. there are a few others. You'll need the Dims , weight, and NMFC number for poker chips to get an accurate quote online. If you call, they can help with the freight class stuff.

If you don’t have access to a loading dock you will need to take the chips to the freight company itself.
And whoever is receiving them if they don’t have a loading dock will need to pick them up at the local terminal. Curbside delivery is more expensive.
Call around and get freight rates is the best way.
Or contact a freight broker to put it out for bid. Much like the show shipping wars. That is pretty much how the business works.

I think to simplify things for the shipper (i.e., it isn't me) I'm going to do tube-filled LFRBs:
That's
60 chips/tube
12 tubes/box
so 9 boxes = $171 shipping. Well worth it for these chips and to get them in the air ASAP with minimal hassle on the other end.
Still . . . will look into freight options.

Are they near me? I could pick them up and ship them to you. I've done it before with some rare mint Dunes $1.

They are not, but thanks!
Online LTL quote is minimum $250. Maybe I'm doing it wrong . . .

$128: 5 LFRBs and 2 MFRBs.
Ship them to me, I'll, uh, make sure some of them get to you.

from the horse’s mouth6 LFRBs (900 chips each) + 1 MFRB

lmao no. but $4500 is still a pretty good deal, eh?
I’ll give you $5000 for them
