I don't own any, but they look awesome. Full width center divider panel/handle with most likely 3 screws on the bottom.
Also, they aren't cheap... 6 rack-$115, 8 rack-$125, 10 rack-$135, and 12 rack-$145
Yeah I talked to Kathy and was surprised on the cost, was just wondering if the price is that much worth it? What do you use maybe a cheaper one would be more sufficient

I used to buy the ones from VegasSupplyStore for $42.99, but it looks like they don't carry them anymore.
I have one birdcage like the Unique carriers, with the full width center divider... it makes a noticeable difference in carrying stability. Although probably not worth an extra $100. Still - I'd love it if some one got one and did a review.

I ordered two of those Brybelly 1000-chip carriers (with racks) from Amazon last year, although the price was only $48 back then (the current ad shows $59.99 with free Prime shipping).
5stardeal has 1000-chip units for $43 on eBay with free shipping:

or $52 shipped with 10 (el cheapo) racks:

I also have a couple of these carriers - they're okay, but not as nice as the ones I picked up from vegassupplystore - and certainly not as sturdy as the Unique cases.
I always advise buying two at a time, since that's how they are packed and shipped by the manufacturer.
Buying 400- or 600-chip carriers on eBay is more expensive than buying 1000-chip units. PGI used to stock the 600-chip cases for a reasonable cost; might try emailing them.

my Brybelly cage finally showed up, two days late.
Luckily it is undamaged. It appears they ship in single boxes now. It came in a large box with some shipper paper and a smaller box. The smaller box was the manufacturer box and list QTY 1, so it doesn't appear this brand ships them double anymore. The smaller box had hard foam surround the box. Not a lot protecting it, bu tit survived being lost in transit for two days.
First cage I have owned, but it is sturdier than I was expecting. It's pretty heavy by itself and the acrylic is pretty thick. I'm not too concerned about carrying chips in it, but if it fell off a table onto a hard floor it would probably crack for sure. Need to load it up when I get home.
It did come with the cheapo racks, which are not impressive. Apparently these cheapo racks fits the Majestic chips the best, so I need them, but depending on your needs there is a cheaper birdcage on amazon without the racks.

I ordered two at the same time and they each came individually packaged, padded with styrofoam, in small cardboard boxes that said qty 1. But both were in another cardboard box that said qty 2. They still are shipped in these.
I just guess if you order a single carrier, sometimes they will use the large 2 qty box to ship the small box in, and for the other remaining carrier in their inventory they just use a random cardboard box.
The clear acrylic on one of them was kind of scratched but it's obviously no shipping damage, all packaging around was fine and undamaged.

Do you own one of these ? Do these hold the 43mm racks
Pretty sure that the 43mm racks do not fit into a bird cage (except for the Matsui 43mm boxes).
I use these from BankSupplies. Casino quality bird cages (y) :thumbsup:

Very sturdy and no screws. I have had issues with the cheaper carriers where the bottom fell off when the screws stripped out of the plastic. Also had the screw heads scratch a tabletop. They are polycarbonate vs acrylic material, which is more durable.
They are slightly less in price than the Unique carriers. Shipping to 96701 zip code showed as $14.50.

Looks like they have bulk discounts... group buy?
Yeah, nice discounts on orders of 6 or more.... I'd be in for 2.
I like that these have the full clear view vs the black edges of the others.

I’d be in for 2 as well. Possibly more depending on the discount. If we get them an order of 100 or more birdcages, I’d assume we could get better bulk pricing.
I don’t yet have any of these. I will be ordering some soon though. They give the dimensions of racks that fit on the website, and say also they’ll make other dimensions. I haven’t measured yet. Maybe later tonight.
I’d hate to be the reshipper on a large group buy.

I'd be in for 2 600 chip cages.. Honestly afraid that number might grow soon.
