Why Our Chess Sets Cost Less

We run TheChessPiece as a tight ship. Nevertheless, we are a full-time operation staffed by friendly people who are committed to providing the best service possible. We are dedicated because TheChessPiece is our principle employment, not like other e-tailers whose websites are part-time operations established to provide supplemental income. Some on-line dealers are merely middlemen who operate with no actual inventory on hand. Such sellers typically fill their customers’ orders by placing drop-ship orders with vendors like us. These operators are not forthright about this because then you'll realize you are paying more.

All our inventory is centralized here in the US, in our climate-controlled warehousing. This means we do not have the expense of managing costly overseas facilities.

We take a careful approach to marketing. We choose our chess promotions thoughtfully. We endeavor to streamline our systems and billing processes and maintain minimum debt. You won’t find any frills or fancy furniture in our offices. Nevertheless, we are charitable, donating chess sets and funding to various chess competitions, television events, and schools. In this, our primary aim is to help others less fortunate to enjoy the great game of chess.

We're straight shooters. We adhere to good, old-fashioned, reliable business principles. We don’t bait our customers with low prices and then charge more for shipping . Processing returns is expensive so we strive to minimize them. We refuse to supply items that are ‘seconds’ or inferior in any way and we always pack carefully. Many of our US shipments are shipped free and all shipping is done at cost without surcharges. At TheChessPiece we believe "A satisfied customer is our best advertising". That’s why your chess products will always be of the highest possible quality.

We buy in volume. We buy the vast majority of our products directly from the manufacturer, not through wholesalers. We import thousands of chess sets from India. These large shipments result in very low shipping costs. Volume buying enables us to establish very fair margins. This increases our sales volume, which in turn enables us to buy more and save you even more.

We work with the world's finest manufacturers who appreciate our business model and ethical approach which assure greater success as we build trust and increase our product selection.

We urge our customers to be wary of imitation chess set designs and inflated pricing. Some of our competitors copy our designs and product names, but their quality is not the same. Other sellers promote similar products and exaggerate their recommended selling prices in order to offer seemingly hefty discounts. Shop and compare. Our quality and service is first rate and our prices are always attractive. All our luxury chess sets are sold with a manufacturer's Certificate of Authenticity so there will never be any doubt that we only sell the original, genuine designs.

We are a small but profitable company that expects to be in business for many years to come. That’s why we pledge to you, our value-conscious customer, to offer great deals and great service whenever you decide to buy that very special once-in-a-lifetime chess set.
