At Staunton International, we’ve always believed that quality craftsmanship should be accessible — not just to collectors and grandmasters, but to players of all levels around the world.
That’s exactly why we’ve launched our new international website, dispatching directly from our production hub in Amritsar, India. This dedicated platform allows us to offer our renowned handcrafted chess sets at significantly lower prices to our international customers — without compromising on the quality or attention to detail you expect from the Official Staunton name.
So, how are we able to offer better pricing?
1. Direct from Workshop to Your Door
By fulfilling orders directly from our Indian workshop, we’ve cut out the middlemen, unnecessary storage, and extra shipping legs that traditionally add to the cost of each item. Your set now goes from the artisan's bench to your doorstep, saving both time and money.
2. Localised Fulfilment, Global Reach
We’ve set up a smart and efficient international logistics operation in Amritsar, allowing us to dispatch worldwide from the same location where our chess sets are made. Lower overheads and faster turnarounds translate into more competitive prices for our overseas customers.
3. Currency-Friendly Shopping Experience
Our new international site features multi-currency support, which means you’ll see prices in your local currency — no hidden conversion fees, no surprises at checkout. Transparent pricing, better value.
4. Same Craftsmanship, Better Value
Every set is still made by skilled artisans using the same traditional methods we’ve championed for decades. The difference? Lower delivery costs, reduced overheads, and streamlined fulfilment — all passed on as savings to you.
A Win-Win for Chess Lovers Worldwide
From handcrafted Staunton pieces to full tournament-ready sets, our international site is designed to bring accessible luxury to players everywhere — whether you're in the USA, Europe, Australia, or beyond.
We know chess is a global language, and now, our pricing reflects that.
