Place the order online and choose check payment. We'll reserve the items for you until the chess arrives. Please make the check or money order out to "Your Move Chess & Games". We cannot ship your order until we receive the check.
Q: Do you match prices from your competitors?
We certainly try! If you ever find an item at another website for the same price, please either call or email and let us know. As long as it is an in stock item, we will do our best to match it. It does need to be the same item (not a similar item), and it needs to be in stock.
Q: What about International Orders?
We do accept international orders! Due to dimensional weight requirements, some items may be too large to go to a specific location. We also need to find a shipping quote for you before processing your order.

We offer Priority Mail International and Express Mail International. UPS Worldwide is also available, but extremely expensive. We can provide a quote upon request

Yes. We offer Overnight air, 2nd Day Air, and 3-Day Select. In Addition we have "Rush" Shipping, which means your order will go out via ground the same day the order is placed (as long as it comes in before 3PM Eastern).Answer:

Questions Regarding Policies - Please see our Shipping and Return Policy Page for additional information
Q: What happens if I the chess set I ordered arrived damaged?
We never want you to receive a damaged item, and any of us can relate to how frustrating it is to finally receive a long awaited chess set or other item just to find it chipped or damaged. Sometimes it happens in shipping, sometimes it was damaged from the factory. Any way you look at it, we want to make the ease of replacement as painless as possible.
If you receive a damaged item, just send us an email or give us a call. Most of the time we can just send out the item/part right out. Don't worry. All of our shipments are insured. We will file a claim with UPS and provide you with additional information as needed.
Q: What if I want to return my order?
Buying the right chess set is difficult. We get it. Sometimes the item is not what you expected, or something you simply do not want. Yes, you can return your order! It is best to give us a call or email first. What you will need to do is include a copy of the packing slip along with the item and send it back to our address (listed above) postmarked within 2 weeks of receiving your order. (We extend this policy around the holiday season for gifts) If you want to return it, just ask for a credit. If you want to exchange it, let us know that too.
Please note there is a 5% restocking fee on returned items. Gift Wrap, Shipping, Special Order, Scratch and Dent, and Chess Software is not returnable/refundable. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
Q: What if I want to exchange my order?
Same as returning it, really - but no restocking fee would apply for an exchange.
Q: How do I know I can trust your chess store?
This is a difficult one. We have been in the chess business since 1978 with literally tens of thousands of customers. We have an A+ rating with the BBB. Maybe the best bet would be to take their word on it? Here's a sample of customer feedback/appreciation notes over the years: our customer love file
