CAJUN CHESS will, at its discretion, match and/or beat pricing of any other retailer or web store; provided the item in question is identical. *You now can take advantage of our exclusive "Cajun Price-Match" immediately at the time of your online order! Here's how:
Available just above each item's "Add to Cart" button, is our Cajun Price-Match option. Clicking it will allow you to make a price-match on your item right away - before even adding it to your cart! Upon clicking the link, a small form is generated containing three fields: "Website Where Advertised", "Store/Company's Name" and "Price to Match". -Just fill those in, indicate your desired Quantity(s) and click "Add to Cart". Your adjusted price, along with the "PRICEMATCH_Website" and "PRICEMATCH_Store" values you filled in, will display in your cart!
Alternatively - if needed or preferred - you may also contact us regarding any requested price match. (Should you need or prefer to directly contact us regarding a desired price-match: For efficiency and speed of response, please do include or have ready the website name and specific page(if applicable) on which the item(s) and pricing can be found, along with the company or entity name which is selling it/them.)
(*The Cajun Price-Match offer - or any price-match on the part of Cajun Chess - is ultimately subject to our verification/approval. Price-matched items will ship pending such verification/approval; and Customer will be contacted as applicable or necessary.)

 Pricing and Pricing Structure
Our low, 'wholesale' pricing is virtually unbeatable... Great quality and 'name-brand' chess supplies, at some of the lowest prices you'll find! Many - if not most - of our store products are offered with a great 'quantity-based' pricing structure.
An example of how our quantity-based pricing structure lays out in our product pages might be:

Quantity 1+ 4+ 10+ 20+ 40+ Price $7.50 $7.30 $6.50 $6.25 $6.10

For a quantity of 1 to 4 of this item purchased, pricing would be at $7.50 each. For a quantity of 4 to 10, price goes to $7.30 each... and so on. Any quantity of 40 or more is at $6.10 each.
As you can see, especially for large wholesale or general 'bulk' purchases, our price structure on such quantity-priced items can prove quite cost-effective.

See our Price Listing for always-current pricing. It is 'dynamically' generated, and thereby always up-to-date. Prices reflected in our cart product pages are as well always current.
CAJUN CHESS reserves the right to alter its prices or pricing structure(s) at any time, for any reason.

CAJUN CHESS reserves the right to alter or modify its prices or pricing structure(s) for any particular customer(s), organization(s), or other puchasing entity at any time. Given such, a price reduction may be afforded a Cajun Chess Reseller, a regularly-purchasing organization or other such entity based on their overall puchase volume or other special circumstance(s). Contact us to request a specific bulk price or bulk pricing structure that you would like to be even lower than our already low prices.

CAJUN CHESS strives to provide the best quality chess supplies and equipment at the lowest prices... Guaranteed! CAJUN CHESS always attempts to be as accurate as possible when describing our products, however, if you receive a product from CAJUN CHESS and you believe it is unsatisfactory or not as described, you may return the product subject to our Return Policy. Should you have any complaints, concerns or praise about our products or services, please contact us immediately...

 Colors
Photos and color 'swatches' in our store are meant to indicate, as closely as is reasonably possible, the authentic color(s) of the product(s). Most modern or 'up-to-date' computer monitors should interpret and display the color tones reasonably authentically, if not exactly. Due to differences in systems on which our website may be displayed - and referring specifically to the sometimes varying manners in which different computers, with their distinct monitors, may interpret and display color tones and hues - , the actual 'color' or color tone(s) of your received product may thus vary somewhat from that of its online display.

 Select Your Items, & Add to Cart...
A provision of KingCart Solutions, our online Shopping Cart is one of the most powerful, secure and best carts available - and one of the easiest to use. Simply browse our ample chess supply inventory, and "Add to Cart" the items or services you require. The cart is simple, easy to navigate, and quite 'self-explanatory' for use. As you are shopping, just click a "View Cart" link any time you wish to remind yourself of what's in your cart so far. Beneath the display of your cart's contents will be the appropriate buttons and links to modify/remove items, or complete your order. If not ready to complete the order, you may always continue shopping by following the store links as usual, or clicking "CONTINUE SHOPPING".

 P. O. # / Customer ID:
On the 'CheckOut' page(the initial page displayed after adding an item to the cart or clicking 'view cart'), you will see an entry field for "CUSTID"(Customer ID). If you are a return-Customer and wish to enter your 'Customer ID' here, your previously-entered information(such as Name, Billing Address, Shipping Address, etc.) will be conveniently retrieved from our database, and filled in for you on the following order form after clicking "COMPLETE ORDER" -- thus avoiding the need to re-type it all each time you order. Hence, unless your information has changed, you will only need to specify on the form your payment method for the particular transaction(under "Credit Card Payment, PayPal, or Purchase Order...)".
Your unique 'Customer ID' was assigned to you by the cart upon placing your initial order from Cajun Chess. Your alpha-numeric 'Customer ID' can be found on any one of your purchase receipt Invoices which are emailed to you each time you submit an order. As seen in the below example, it appears under "PRODUCT INFORMATION --", just after your actual merchandise specifics, next to "CUSTID:" on the Invoice.
[Note: For return 'Purchase Order' Customers, this same concept and process is applicable; and your "CUSTID"(Customer ID) will act as your 'PO Number'.
Click here for specifics on placing Purchase Orders.]

(The Customer ID shown on the above sample is, of course, only "generic" for demo purposes. Each Customer's ID is unique.)

 Discount/Coupon:
This entry field is typically for our authorized Resellers; so they can enter their specially-provided unique 'Reseller Discount Number', that it may be applied to their order.
If, in any other regard, you have been given a discount/coupon number or ID from Cajun Chess or an authorized Cajun Chess representative or associate, it would be entered in this field to have the discount apply to your order.

 Check Your Shipping Costs?
This convenient mechanism allows you, as it says, to pre-check your Shipping Costs before continuing with the completion of your order. Simply select your ship-to country(if applicable), enter the corresponding ship-to zipcode, and click "Check Shipping Costs"... A secure page will generate, displaying your available shipping options with their respective costs.

 Completing Your Order...
When ready, click "COMPLETE ORDER". A secure page will generate(it may take a few seconds) displaying your cart and items, and the secure order form just below it. Correctly fill in all that applies, and click the "Please Click Here to Continue" button. Next will be a screen on which to select your desired Shipping option for the order. Click "Verify Order"; verify all your information as it is displayed on the following 'Verify Order' page; and, if all is satisfactory, click "Submit Order for Processing". If you are paying by credit card, a screen will generate that allows you to enter your actual credit card number and exp. date; then submit. If you are paying via PayPal, you will be connected to the PayPal server and provided a screen on which to enter your appropriate info and submit. Since we do not accept the 'e-check' online payment option, standard orders payable by check or money order must be made via fax/mail form or phone.
Purchase Orders by verifyable qualified 'entities'(schools, clubs, etc.), are easily placed in submission upon clicking "Submit Order for Processing" from the 'Verify Order' page.

CAJUN CHESS gladly accepts purchase orders from verifiable schools, clubs or organizations. Our ultimate acceptance and fulfillment of requested purchase orders does, of course, depend upon our solid verification of the purchaser's qualification in this regard.
To make a Purchase Order online as a qualified entity or organization, simply place your order as normal via our Shopping Cart... Upon reaching the initial secure order form(just after clicking "COMPLETE ORDER..."), be sure that ALL the applicable info is filled in under "Billing Address" and "Shipping Address", inclusive of all name and contact info relating to your school, club or organization. Then, please select the "Purchase Order" option under "Credit Card Payment, PayPal, or Purchase Order(for Schools, Clubs, eligible Resellers...)"; then continue and complete your purchase as normal. You/your organization may be shortly contacted for confirmation; and before shipment of requested merchandise.
Alternatively, you may also fax or mail in your purchase order request via our printable order form; on which you would indicate that it is a "Purchase Order". If needed or preferred, your purchase order request may be made via telephone, by calling 1-877-CAJUN10.
