Re: GoGameGuru experience, mixed up order twice, advice need

For those who are interested, its been 3 months since my order got mixed up. And 2 months since my last communication with David. Any advice? How much more should I wait? Should I just take it up with my credit card company?

Re: GoGameGuru experience, mixed up order twice, advice need

Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate GGG store and what these guys are doing for the community. At the same time I'm not sure if I'm being treated fairly as a customer. My order was mixed up twice! The site advertises 30 day money back guarantee and is still accepting orders. If they are busy ...

GoGameGuru experience, mixed up order twice, advice needed

I've recently purchased a board, bowls and stones from GoGameGuru.com. The package shipped relatively fast (the board was in a separate package from bowls and stones). However they mixed up my order and sent me wrong bowls. I wrote and got a reply from Younggil who was very helpful and offered to ...

Re: Best glass stones (6 Brothers vs Shinkwang Phoenix vs Ja

What is the difference between Shink Wang Phoenix and 6 Brothers? Both are readily available but Phoenix is $116 and 6 Brothers is $57 on GoGameGuru. Any experience with both? Besides the price, what could be different?

Kiseido vs Yutopian when ordering from US

Would one ship faster than another? Is shipping more expensive on one of them?

I'm considering getting Japanese glass GO stones, both sites seem to have it at a different price:
S225 glass stones from kiseido.com for $120
SJ030 glass stones from yutopian.com for $89

So I was wondering if shipping ...

Re: Best glass stones (6 Brothers vs Shinkwang Phoenix vs Ja

This is for home use. I appreciate the replies. At this point I want to see if someone can help me understand the difference between 4 choices. Why would I choose one over the others? Disregarding price difference. Thank you!

Re: Best glass stones (6 Brothers vs Shinkwang Phoenix vs Ja

Thank you. Kiseido and utopian don't have much information about the stones. Why would one cost 80 and another 120? How do they compare to the Korean stones? I'm willing to pay extra but I need to know what is the difference. Does anyone know or has any experience with these Japanese stones? Which ...

Re: Best glass stones (6 Brothers vs Shinkwang Phoenix vs Ja

@gowan Thank you! Would Aoyama Gobanten glass stones be any different than Kiseido or Utopian? Do you have experience with Korean glass stones?

Best glass stones (6 Brothers vs Shinkwang Phoenix vs Japan)

I'm looking for highest quality glass stones, not taller than 10mm. I'm not considering Yunzi (lead inconsistencies) and Clamshells because of the price. I will be ordering from California.

I have couple options:

Korean
1) 6 Brothers for $59 from GoGameGuru
2) Shinkwang Phoenix Glass for $116 ...
