News & Updates
Christmas Eve is almost as much of a holiday as Christmas Day. The kids are excited and often underfoot! Last minute errands are plentiful and there are packages to wrap. This is a day UPS does not pick up boxes at our warehouse (even though they deliver today.)
We have all of our chess sets, chess clocks, and other chess gifts shipped and on their way. This is a day that we and all our staff go home to be with our families. We will be back in on Monday so if Santa doesn’t leave that chess set you had your heart set on, we can ship it out then.
All of our staff wish you a very Merry Christmas!
Okay, admit it. You procrastinated–or worse, you forgot someone! Now you wonder what to do about that last minute chess gift.
Wholesale Chess Gift Cards are the best answer. They will be delivered to your email before Christmas so you can print them out so no one will know you were late with their gift. They can be used for any chess set, chess clock, chess computer, chess board, or chess pieces on our site. They can even be used for chess software or chess books. The possibilities are almost endless.
Best of all—our $25 gift card is on sale! Thursday only you can get a $25 gift card for just $20. Go to our Chess Gift Card section and choose the $25 card, or a gift in any other amount. We will make sure it is sent to you by midnight Thursday night. (Gift Cards will NOT go out after 10 am Mountain Time on Friday.) Happy Holidays!
Wednesday’s chess Deal of the Day is a great DGT Easy Chess Clock in the fun colors of purple & green. The DGT Easy is the first digital chess clock for everybody and for every game. The Easy clock combines high quality with absolute simplicity. Player friendly. Handy front buttons, simple one-touch reset, clear large display. Optional buzzer. The Easy comes in a nice gift-box. The DGT Easy is ideally suited for chess clubs, schools and home use.
The Heavy Tournament Chess Set Combo is one of our most popular tournament chess set combinations. It comes with Heavy Tournament Weighted Pieces, a Quality Vinyl Rollup Chess Board and a Carryall Tournament Bag. The bag not only holds the board and pieces, but has room for a chess clock and a score book or other chess supplies. It is a favorite chess set combo with both tournament players and students. For this Deal of the Day you are not limited. You can order one as a gift, or several for your club.
Need that chess set fast for Christmas? Wholesale Chess is paying half of your Expedited UPS shipping charges for the next few days in order to assure your chess gifts get there in time for Christmas. Expedited shipping includes 3 Day Select, Second Day Air and Next Day Air.
Although it is definitely more expensive to use expedited shipping, a chess clock, chess computer, or even most of our folding wood chess sets are reasonable to ship fast with Wholesale Chess paying half the shipping charges.
But don’t delay any longer. It only will get more expensive as the Christmas week goes on. (Click here to see more about when to ship.) After you have selected your chess set, or other chess gift, go to the shopping cart page and enter your zip code to bring up the shipping charges. You will then find the estimated date of arrival and the discounted shipping costs.
And don’t forget, Chess Gift Cards are easy, fast (they come by email), and 
your chess friends can get just what they want!
