Pretty damn happy with my mail day!! 12 1/2 cent frac... some of those damn CDI 1000s that are a pain to locate. 2 of my absolute favorite chips!! The overland $20 and the Nevada Club/Crystal Bay $100!! Butover there on the table is a heavy box that says The Chip Excange!! And @FordPickup92 just pulled up the drive!! Good mail day indeed!!

Well Ms. Brie let me snap a shot of the chips first!! Proud new owners of a little 36mm set! Playable but still need to find some $1000s at some point! Lots of cleaning to do but damn these are awesome!! Thank you so much @The Chip Exchange for the opportunity!! Fellow Chipper Ben
Woot woot! The little ones are here! :wow:
 
Worst mail day ever.

My @The Chip Exchange delivery was combined with another order (by request) so my chips are at someone else's house and they are sending me pictures of my own chips...

And @detroitdad took delivery of some items at SQM for me.

Two deliveries, and nothing to open...

:unsure:
Can't wait to see what bill sends me.

LOL At least you have the experience of owning those chips vicariously when they sent you the pics
 
The stuff below will probably be a normal mail day addition for most folks here, but it was a seismically significant tectonic shift for my tiny collection of chips.

First, my eternal gratitude goes out to Just1Better for hooking me up with a rack of super minty Empress Joliet Secondary Snappers. I have been searching a long time for these babies. With this acquisition, my Empress Joliet set is finally complete.

Second, my first plastics/Bud Jones in the form of a Big Easy set from the dynamic duo of allforcharity and Potsie1 along with top notch R4 BJ fractionals by allforcharity using Gear relabels . All in all, a superb set and certainly impress upon me a new found respect for quality plastics.

Thank you so much fellas, for giving me this opportunity to acquire these chips.

It had to be an enjoying delivery but what a disappoint.
Flamingo rack was described by @Spinettis Gaming as Mint , with 90 Mint chips and 10 dirty but good shape.
In real, lot of warped chips inside... just sad.

Anyway, thanks to @AK Chip for the solid and @JeepologyOffroad for the cutcard.

I've received chips like this from multiple sources. I'd bet not all are warped. Some of these are probbably flat & some pretty warped. You'll have to check each chip individually. Do a search for flattening chips. You'll need a wooden clamp & some ceramic blanks (ABC Gifts & Awards). I've had pretty good success. I suspect you might be able to get 95%+/- of the warp out out of these stacks. If you lived in the USA, so shipping cost wasn't an issue, I'd do it for you.

I'm not jusifying the condition; I know why you are not happy. Merely offering a possible solution.

I'm in France, i already paid heavy shipping cost, round trip will be too expensive. Anyway, thanks for this offer, really appraciate it.
There are not all warped but i have double check and there are lot warped inside, some are just little warped and some more warped (see video below).
It just that if i had know I would not have bought them. It's not what i call "Mint"chips.
I think i'll try to unwarp them with woodclamp but i'll need to spend some more bucks in a woodclamp (and shipping cost) and i'm not really happy to try this technic on these kind of chips.
