Shipping Methods & Charges

Shipping Charges
Our prices include delivery to mainland UK  The shipping charge is shown as a discount on the sales receipt and may be charged if the item is returned to us for a full credit for any reason other than the wrong item being shipped , but subject to The Chess Piece's discretion. We believe in fairness and common sense when determining shipping refunds whether initially charged or otherwise.
Most orders are shipped same day the order is received but may be within 1-2 business days of your order being placed. This applies especially to computers, standard chess sets and other chess related goods. Our Limited Edition and Custom-carved Character Chess Sets and exquisite Camel bone sets may take up to 28 days for delivery, (although many are held in stock at our Florida warehouse) depending on demand, availability and customer location. When you place your order we will immediately confirm the delivery details and if you find this unacceptable in any way we will give you an opportunity to cancel your order without any obligation to you.
As you will expect, we do not compromise quality to fill an order early. We are sure you will be delighted with your product after receiving it and consider a small wait worthwhile if this happens to be the case. We do however keep you informed as to how your custom set is progressing by regular email from our shipping department.

Overseas Orders- please note.
We gladly accept orders from mainland Europe  However, customers should be aware that they are personally responsible for any customs duties, sales taxes, brokerage fees or other charges levied by the country of import concerned. Please therefore accept that the price you pay when purchasing online from our store may not be the final price payable. Customers in other parts of the world should go to www.thechesspiece.com.

NO Handling Charges
There are NO handling charges applied to each order on shipping. You only pay actual delivery costs we absorb the packaging and handling costs in our sales margin.
