LOW PRICE GUARANTEE & PRICE MATCH
Wholesale Chess will match prices found on our competitor's websites. We strive to stay as competitive as possible with our published prices, but if you find a better price out there, don't worry - we will match it. We also offer extra discounts for quantities greater than the published quantities!
Still, there are some situations where other chess dealers are offered special promotions or deals from manufacturers which allows them sell at below our cost. We will not be able to match prices on those items. Also, some dealers sell merchandise at prices not approved by manufacturers. We will not upset our vendors and manufacturers by selling those items at those prices. We will only match prices with any legitimate US game store on the internet. Make sure you are matching prices with the same item at both stores.
We will not match prices with any online auction sites including eBay. We also will not match prices from individual sellers on any site. Please be accurate as we verify all price matching information before sending out your order. Wholesale Chess reserves the right and must be able to purchase the product at the advertised price on the competitor's website. To be eligible for price matching items must be in stock and available for immediate purchase at both Wholesale Chess and the competitor's website. If you use the price match feature on items that Wholesale Chess ships for free or for a discounted price, those items will not be eligible for free or discounted shipping. Entering incorrect information will delay your order. If for any reason we cannot process your order we will contact you to let you know.
HOW TO USE OUR REAL TIME PRICE MATCH FEATURE
To match prices on an item simply click the link and follow the instructions. You will be asked to enter the store name, the URL of where you saw the price (or any other relevant information). You can then fill in the quantity of items you want along with the price for us to match. Then you will be taken to the shopping cart where the updated prices are shown. Please be accurate as any mistakes or wrong information will delay your order. If you use the price match feature on items that Wholesale Chess ships for free, those items will not be eligible for free shipping.
