Hello, The chessboard I ordered has been delivered and the product is beautiful... I did receive the engraved plaque with my personalised message, it was delivered in a separate package and was already in my letterbox. Thank you for your speed and your unfailing support.
★ TrustpilotBonjour, L'échiquier que j'ai commandé a bien été livré et le produit est magnifique... J'ai bien reçu la plaque gravée avec mon message personnalisé, elle était livrée dans un paquet séparé et déjà dans ma boite à lettre. Merci pour votre rapidité et votre support sans faille.
Very happy with my purchase from Le Palais des Echecs. Just a note, when you order, the engraving plate will arrive in a separate shipment, for me it came the same day. I recommend this shop, thanks!
✓ Avis VérifiésTrès satisfait de mon achat sur Le Palais des echecs. A noter quand vous commandez, la plaque de gravure arrivera dans un envoi séparé, pour moi c'est arrivé le même jour. Je recommande cette boutique, Merci!
Yes, a good experience, my wife gave me a rosewood root set and it's a genuine pleasure to play with. The pieces are well weighted and were carefully protected. So thanks mainly go to my wife and to Le Palais des Échecs!
★ TrustpilotOui une bonne expérience, ma femme m'a offert un jeu en racine de palissandre et c'est un véritable plaisir à jouer. Les pièces sont bien plombées et étaient soigneusement protégées. C'est donc un remerciement surtout à ma femme et au Palais des echecs!
Product as described, no bad surprises, well protected and sent on time. I'm satisfied. Engraved plate received the same day. Thanks.
✓ Avis VérifiésProduit conforme, pas de mauvaise surprise, bien protégé et envoyé dans les temps. Je suis satisfaite. Plaque gravée reçu le même jour. Merci.
I'm not a big fan of buying this kind of product online, I like to see it before buying. But honestly nowadays it's become almost impossible to find a nice traditional chess set in shops. So I ordered a wooden model online and I'm really pleased with my purchase. The set is very pretty, the pieces are beautiful and it looks great in the living room. We play regularly with my husband and the rest of the time it's almost like decoration. The only small complaint I could make is that there isn't a huge choice of storage boxes when you have pieces that aren't Staunton. Otherwise nothing to say, very satisfied.
✓ Avis VérifiésJe ne suis pas une grande adepte des achats sur internet pour ce genre de produit, j’aime bien voir avant d’acheter. Mais franchement aujourd’hui c’est devenu presque impossible de trouver un beau jeu d’échecs traditionnel dans les magasins. Du coup j’ai commandé en ligne un modèle en bois et je suis vraiment contente de mon achat. Le jeu est très joli, les pièces sont belles et il rend super bien dans le salon. On joue régulièrement avec mon mari et le reste du temps il sert presque de décoration. Le seul petit reproche que je pourrais faire, c’est qu’il n’y a pas énormément de choix pour les coffrets de rangement quand on a des pièces qui ne sont pas des Staunton. Sinon rien à redire, très satisfaite.
Product matches the photo, no nasty surprises, well protected and sent on time. Thank you.
★ TrustpilotProduit conforme à la photo, pas de mauvaise surprise, bien protégé et envoyé dans les temps. Merci.
I ordered a complete chess set and unfortunately the black king arrived broken, despite the parcel being very well packaged. I sent an email to customer service with a photo of the broken piece. They replied quickly and sent me a new king free of charge. The new piece arrived a few days later, very well protected and this time no issues at all. It can happen that a piece breaks during transport, even when well packaged. What matters most is the seller's reaction when there's a problem. And honestly, nothing to fault, it was simple and quick. Very satisfied with the after-sales service from Le Palais des Échecs.
✓ Avis VérifiésJ’ai commandé un jeu d’échecs complet et malheureusement le roi noir est arrivé cassé, malgré un colis qui était pourtant très bien emballé. J’ai envoyé un mail au service client avec une photo de la pièce cassée. Ils m’ont répondu rapidement et m’ont renvoyé un nouveau roi sans rien me faire payer. La nouvelle pièce est arrivée quelques jours après, très bien protégée et cette fois aucun souci. Ça peut arriver qu’une pièce se casse pendant le transport, même quand c’est bien emballé. Ce qui compte surtout, c’est la réaction du vendeur quand il y a un problème. Et là franchement rien à redire, ça a été simple et rapide. Très satisfait du service après-vente du Palais des Échecs.
Lots (too many... ? ^-'^) of models, I had a hard time making my choice but by contacting them by email I got several personalised suggestions that really helped a lot. So overall a positive review of the service from Le Palais des Echecs. One small downside, a payment in instalments option would be welcome. Kind regards.
✓ Avis VérifiésBeaucoup (trop... ? ^-'^) de modèles, j'ai eu beaucoup de mal à faire mon choix mais en les contactant par email j'ai eu plusieurs propositions personnalisées qui ont vraiment beaucoup aidé. C'est donc un avis positif au global sur la prestation du palais des echecs. Petit bémol, un paiement en plusieurs fois serait le bienvenue. Bien cordialement.

✓ Avis VérifiésUn beau Jeu d'echecs fantasy. Les pièces sont originales et bien détaillées. Le plateau gris est élégant et va très bien avec le style fantasy des pieces. Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat.
I ordered a very large folding chess set on the gladiator theme in mid-August, the figures are well made and what's handy is that you can store them inside the board which folds up.
✓ Avis VérifiésJ'ai commandé mi aout un très grand jeu d'échec pliable sur le thème des gladiateurs, les personnages sont bien reussis et ce qui est pratique c'est qu'on peut les ranger dans l'échiquier qui est pliable.
