Cheapest Website to get chess sets??!!

Well Chess Bazaar comes to mind.  The free shipping doesn't mean much in your case since they're from India.  Of course if you just want to play, a little 12" magnetic plastic folder from Amazon for 20 or 30 dollars will do the job nicely.  Have fun shopping!

If you just want one cheap set try eBay

By cheap i don't mean like 20$ man wink.png

RCM seems good I checked their website out. 

I am looking for a good wooden board and a set of pieces to go with it.

Didn't mean to insult you, VISHAL_06, but a 12" magnetic folder is one of the most useful sets you can own.  I've got about 20 sets and my 12" (doweled and glued permanently open) magnetic next to the computer probably gets the most use.  Best of luck with your shopping...

Royal Chess Mall is even cheaper than Chess Bazaar and the overall quality is excellent. Chess Bazaar has been hit or miss for me, but RCM has always been good.

 

I'm glad to hear it. I ordered from them for the first time on 4-9-20 and it's still not here. I was starting to worry that when it finally arrived it wouldn't be that great. Chess bazaar apparently isn't having the same shipping difficulties as RCM.

Yes...they say the delay is the result of Covid 19 and it should be here by 6-1 to 7-1. Grrrr....

Also...they've printed a shipping label but fed ex tracking shows they have not gotten it yet.

RCM mailed my set on or around May 5th and I had it here in the US on the 12th.

Oh, that's it. They're getting another e mail right now. Apologies to the OP, I don't mean to hijack this thread.

Chessbazaar almost always has a 30-35% sale going on so can be cheaper than RCM

What price range??  When you said "by cheap I dont mean $20 wink.png" I cant tell if you mean $20 is too much, or too little Lol 

Avatar of jay_1944

I have tiny little boards that the pieces barely stand up... will send ya one for the price of shipping if ya want!  Or my Dad makes them for almost $300 USD if you meant $20 was too little happy.png 

Here's one of the little guys, and one my dad made. And a tournament board to compare!

You can get rollup vinyl chess sets as low as $8.00 mostly for personal use or economical for clubs, classes and schools. Here are 10 chess sets under $100. FREE SHIPPING depends on the country you are from. Personally I bought the 4 player chess set cause I always wanted to play chess with more than one person.
