The chess timer looks great and works great. Thanks for the fast delivery, too!! I’ll be back.
Was just what I was looking for to go with custom board I have…Thank you.
I have purchased your basic club sets for a number of different clubs and always recommended you for individuals looking to buy. As always, quality, service, and price were excellent.
One suggestion: The vinyl roll-up boards come with a strong unpleasant chemical smell, which eventually goes away, but slowly. Would there be any way you could air them out before sending them to customers?
Ordered Basic Club Set for Elementary Chess Club. They are perfect! The chess pieces are a nice large size and the mat-like chess boards are nice quality. Very happy with my purchase and wholesalechess.com!!!
My first purchase from Wholesale Chess ….. but WILL NOT BE MY LAST! Professional, courteous service, a quality product and at the right price. My 10 new beginner sets are exactly what I needed for my club. Thanks,

Thanks for your excellent service!
I am very pleased with the quality and the cost of all of the supplies I have bought. I love that the sets have two queens for each color. The boards are great space savers. I also purchased the scholastic chess clocks – they are perfect for our new school chess club. We will be purchasing from Wholesale Chess for many years to come.

I am starting a chess club in a Title 1 school here in Texas. The other club sponsor and myself have to pay for the club out of our own pockets and Wholesale Chess really does provide a good bang for the buck.
I have a ton of chess sets already so I was really looking for some inexpensive chess themed giveaways. The kids don’t get many free things so the keychain set & pencils were really well received. They use the keychains as a way to identify themselves as being club members. Plus, they showed off their pencils which are much nicer in person.
Since so many kids have never played chess, so the Buddy Boards are a totally amazing idea! Hopefully, we’ll get some money saved up and buy more. They really are great aids for beginners and experienced players alike.
Thanks so very much for being great.
@ Fr. Brian Conner – Thanks for the feedback, Brain. I double checked your order to make sure we sent you the correct bags, and you did order the Basic Club Combo which comes with the smaller bags. This is the first I’ve heard about the basic pieces not fitting well – and we’ve sold thousands of the Basic Combos. They are a snug fit – but they shouldn’t put up too much of a fight for you. Thanks for pointing out the troubles.
Thanks again for your feedback! It’s important for us to know how we’re doing, and what we can improve upon. I’m happy to hear about your club’s success! Do you have a club website or blog? I’d love to read more about your club.
This is the first time I have been in any way disappointed with something from Wholesale Chess – even if it was a minor thing. But, with the Basic Chess set combo burgundy, the bags were on the smaller size to the point where I almost could not get all 32 pieces in the bag. Also, I thought I was getting the ones with handles and the place to stick the rolled up board into- the carrying case type – but that may be my mistake. Otherwise, I have been very happy with everything about Wholsesale Chess- and our chess club is flourishing with twice as many students from last year – 90 players this year.
Wholesale Chess makes it so easy for our school club to order! Their website is very user-friendly and their customer service is quick and helpful. We have always been pleased with the products as well! Too bad so many other companies don’t operate in the same manner. They could take lessons from Wholesale Chess!
I got my order of a simple Staunton set on only 4 days, a lot faster than the 5-9 days that was promised. The set is high-quality resin, with a nice heavy weight.
Wholesale Chess will definitely be my go-to site when I want to upgrade my board. Great works, folks!
I received my shipment of the Executive Tournament Chess Set Combo and the Traditional Folding Rosewood Chess Set. They arrived within a week of my order (as expected).
I am enjoying the Rosewood chess set, but I was a little disappointed with the cheap quality of the Executive Chess Set pieces. The plastic mold markings are prominent on each piece, and the felts are quite thin. On arrival the felts were improperly placed on several pieces, and the weights had fallen out of a few pawns. I don’t get the feeling the pieces are going to stand up to extensive use. There is not much surface area on the piece bottoms on which the felts can stay glued. I will try re-centering and reinforcing the felts with some additional glue, but with a name like “Executive Chess Set”, I was expecting more.
We received our human-size chess board very quickly. We shopped around forever to try and find the most inexpensive board we could, and this was the place! The chess board, however, is huge and of great quality. We’ll be using this for years to come.
I am really enjoying the Caro Kann DVD I really cannot beleive the difference in Grandmaster and International Master instruction. I have been inactive for awhile and now I am almost ready to play chess again.
I ordered on-line one afternoon with regular ground delivery to California, and it was shipped-out that very same day. It couldn’t have been more than a couple of days before it actually arrived. Shipping was lightening fast! Very satisfied with the whole process. Additionally, I had placed an order previously, and right after I placed it, I decided I needed to change something. I e-mailed to Wholesale Chess and they caught the order just as it was about to go out and canceled it for me. These guys definitely are not taking their time to get orders out. I’ll order again from them.
@ Dan – I assume you’re talking about shipping estimates? We don’t ‘take our time’ – we send your package out as soon as payment clears and UPS can come and pick it up. The shipping estimates are those that UPS offers – they give themselves buffer time in case of inclement weather, etc.
I asked a question at the mail on got a response very quickly. thanks alot!
Plus, i’d like to know – when it writes between 7 to 12 days, It shall take 7 days and if there are any problems 12 days, or you “take the time”?
Order came in a very timely manner, was correct and I was very happy with it. The equipment is being donated by me to a university just starting a chess club and the kids are very excited about it. It was fun getting the colored pieces so they can play their school colors against one another when just playing fun games.
I really like the different colored hard plastic pieces while playing in the board game requiring different colors. I play PLEX, 4-MAN CHESS, 3-MAN CHESS, and Courier. Hopefully in the near future you can make these colors: TAN, BROWN, LIME, AND ORANGE.
Great service — fast delivery, in perfect condition. Thanks!
Ordered Intermediate Chess Tactics – Fantastic program and very rapid turn around from order to delivery.
It was a pleasure doing business with you and I will be a repeat customer!
Wholesale Chess did an outstanding job in getting my order to me quickly. The chess sets are of great quality – and you can’t beat the price.
I recommend Wholesale for those searching for a nice experience.
I Bought the beginners set for the kids. I had a set when i was growing up and that is how I learned. I ordered this set it was not what I had expected. I could have gone to any store and bought the same thing but only cheaper. I do not think that I will purchase any thing else from you.
Sincerely,
Gerald Hohn
I recently purchased the:
* Soft Mousepad Chessboard 20 inches
* Executive Tournament Chess Set Combo
My son and I love the set. It is excellent!!! Thanks.
i was very satisified with the chess board recently purchased.
Ordered a tactics CD for beginners which was delivered faster than expected with a free shipping upgrade. Excellent site!
A wonderful transaction, my number 1 source for chess products online.
I ordered the Rosewood Fianchetto chess pieces and am quite pleased with them! The are well made and are much heavier than most chess sets,the detail on the chess pieces is very good,what you would expect on a chess set that would cost several hundred dollars.The pictures of the chess set don’t do it justice as the chess pieces are far more attractive in person than the pictures show.
To be honest. I have ordered from other chess vendors. And it was pretty easy to notice the wholesale chess really made a very big improvement on there price and selection. Along with there large variety of shipping methods with explanation’s of tracking and insurance gave me comfort that my product would be delivered on time and safely. I was pretty happy. That match up a price form another vendor and in other cases out right beat there price. Not bad at all. That will insure my return to wholesale chess!
The price was good, the shipping was on time. 3 of the 5 clocks arrived with damaged glass, but you immediately shipped replacements at no charge when I informed you of the problem. Count me satisfied.
Very good quality. The prices are good and the customer service is excellent. Thank you.
I’m quite satisfied with the sets that I ordered. Your prices made it possible for us to start up a small school club. As soon as it grows, we’ll be ordering from you again. One small criticism, though: everything that we ordered was well packed, and shipped in a sturdy box. Nothing was fragile. The extra space in the box could have easily been filled with shredded scrap paper or other recyclable or compostable filler, rather than styrofoam packing “peanuts”.
I ordered this chess set online. And in a couple of days, it was here. I was surprised how fast it came. The black nylon case with shoulder strap, the vinyl chess board and the heavier pieces make chess both portable and fun. I bought one for myself and a friend. We both love them and plan to buy more for others.
I have several friends who don’t like the chess boards that I ordered, and I can’t blame them. They haven’t won a game yet on either one of them, LOL. Great product at a real reasonable price.
