I'm at Fun Alkeste- all alone. If Cafe'ers want to join, we can have a mini-cafe-Poker.

Got my chips. Finally...

but for you Canadians be warned. I had to pay $50 in duty on them. Nice chips though and a very nice case for them.

Ouch. That really stings seeing as how a complete 300 piece clay chipset with metal case, 2 decks of cards, and 5 dice only sells for $60. I didn't even have to pay shipping with the promo I did (then again, the chipset was free too). Pretty sure that with the site I use, customs is less than $30 to Canada.

Glad you got your chips Mookie ;-D

! Sorry the price was so outrageous. :-/

There was no charge for shipping and if I lived in the US I would have gotten it for $0. But they declared the value to be $175 or something like that - so they had to pay duty and then UPS charged a brokerage fee on top of that so it came out to over $50. I don't blame the promoter, I blame UPS.
