ReplyDeleteWhen is the next batch of dice going to arrive?
ReplyDeleteHi Adam,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the question.
Earliest estimated arrival is the first week of January, or in about six weeks time.
Hello, is there a new arrival of dices ?
ReplyDeleteThanks per advance for your answer.
@ Arch Arch,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question.
We spoke with production earlier today. Fingers crossed, we should be restocked the last week of January, or 14-18 days from now.
Sorry for the delay. Our "free shipping" special (all dice orders over $50) will run until the end of February.
I can confirm that our dice shipment will be here by 29 January, or in a few days.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the lengthy delay.
How precise are these dice? I see the word precise but nothing on how far off each side is in weight?
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the question.
The short answer is that the dice are equally weighted on all sides as a result of the manufacturing process. They are also checked with a micrometer as part of quality control. The tolerance is in the neighbourhood of 1/10,000th of an inch, or less than the thickness of a human hair.
For a more detailed explanation of how precision dice are made, I recommend that you read my post below.
Cheers,
Chris

ReplyDeleteHi, can I order thé 16mm pink dice or are you out if stock right now.
ReplyDeleteFollow up question, is it possible to have thé 16 mm pink without de serial number. All of my dices do not have a serial number and I would like to keep it that way. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSalut Pierre,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the questions.
None of our dice have serial numbers stamped on them.
At the moment, we have no pink (or green) backgammon dice in 16mm. We do have two black with pink spots in 16mm.
We also have plenty of pink dice in 14mm.
We will not have more pink in 16mm before May. Sorry.
Bonne journée,
Helen and Chris

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI've had some bad luck with backgammon dice with the pips rubbing out or fading, has this ever happened with your dice? Or is there a dice or pip colour to avoid to decrease the chance?
Hi Samuel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question.
We have been selling precision backgammon dice since 2010. During that period we have not witnessed fading of the pips. That said, it is certainly possible that some of the colour pips are less stable when exposed to sunlight for long periods, but then you shouldn't leave precision dice in the sun to begin with. Extreme heat or cold may lead to expansion and contraction that might cause a pip to pop out of its well. To our knowledge this has only occurred once in seven years.
As for the pips rubbing off, that would require a belt sander, or some other aggressive treatment. Have a look at the post below (if you have not already done so). You will note that each pip is composed of epoxy roughly 3mm or 1/8 of an inch thick. The pips are recessed into the body of the dice, and polished flush with the surface. They are not painted on the surface of the die, as is the case with most dice.
http://asl-battleschool.blogspot.ca/2011/06/what-precisely-are-precision-dice.html
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks for the quick reply, that was very informative. Just one followup question, you say the pips are recessed then polished flush. Just looking at the blue dice w/ pink pips, it looks like the pips are certainly not flush with the dice, in this case is that pre-polish, or are those ones different, or am I seeing them wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi again Samuel,
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit of an optical illusion with the pink pips on the blue die. They are flush.
What you're seeing is the side of the wells. It makes the pips appear to be floating on the surface of the die. The top of each pip is level with the surface of the die. Each die is milled and polished flush after the epoxy sets. Alll photos are of finished dice.
Do you maybe have blank 14mm (9/15") precision dice in dark-red ,dark-green , dark-blue and pink? By blank I mean without spots or holes for them (brushed or non brushed ,doesn't matter ) .
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but we do not stock dice "blanks."
They are available as a special order, but there would be a minimum quantity for each colour/size.
I will need 20 green , 20 dark-red dices with pips, and 50 blank dark-blue , 50 blank pink dices . All in the same size of 14.2mm (9/15") . Price and shipping time ?
DeleteKind regards
M.Grbovic
@ M.Grbovic,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the request. Please refer our email.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI would like to get 2 pairs of backgammon precision dices , but I am not sure which size to select, 12 mm, 14mm or 16mm. I do not have any experience regarding the rolling diversity. Could anyone explain which size should I purchase in terms of rolling ? Which is more standard and accepted throughout the legal tournaments?
Thanks a lot.
Cem
Hi Cem,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question.
Although some people prefer 12.5mm, which gets the most "action" in a dice cup, 14mm is probably the most commonly used size at backgammon tournaments. The pips are also a bit larger, making them easier to read at a glance. Fewer players use 16mm for backgammon, but this size is very popular with other games.
Hope that helps.
Chris
Hi,
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking, it takes 6-10 business days for a package to arrive in Germany, or about two weeks not including the day the package ships.
That said, German customs (and other EU jurisdictions) can hold a package for a week or two before it clears.
Best estimate would be three weeks from the time a package leaves Canada for (western) Europe and arrives at its destination.
I just have a quick question. Would these dice be a good choice for playing Warhammer 40k?
ReplyDeleteHi Charles,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question.
The 16mm dice would be best. The pips on the others can be hard to read from the other side of the table top.
Hi, Chris,
ReplyDeleteI’m from Japan and I am going to Edmonton this beginning of September. Is it possible to send from your place to my hotel in YEG? Of course I would be glad to pay forward by PayPal. 14mm / 2 white w blue, 2 blue w pink— in total 4 dice.
If it sounds good, please email me. Thank you!
Are there blue dice with orange pips? I states so above but it doesnt even show a 0 in stock so was wondering if they were available
ReplyDeleteNo blue dice with orange pips, sorry. We had some made but the orange turned out more bronze/brown than orange.
ReplyDeleteI ordered half a dozen of these dice. Really great communication during the process and a good deal considering how expensive precision backgammon dice are. Really excited to play a few games with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Carlo.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated,
H&C
I'm keen to get 2 pair of precision dice for my custom backgammon set. 1 pr Blue/white dots and 1 pair White/blue dots but your stock current shows no White/blue dots available. Any ideas when you'll have more?
ReplyDeleteHi Sam,
ReplyDeleteWhat size were you looking for?
Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI am looking to purchase, 14mm Backgammon dice: Dark Red, White, Dark Blue, & Black.
In addition I am looking to purchase 4x Panzerknackern dice.
Can you help me out?
Cheers
George
all the posts regrding backgammon precision dice are old. Do you still sell them? and if yes, do we still have access to DYO? any idea when you will receive new inventory?
ReplyDeleteHi George,
ReplyDeleteJust seeing your question today. Sorry.
I'll follow up with an email.
As a general note, we don't have any 12.5mm or 14mm backgammon dice left, and we have none due to arrive in 2023.
Hi Chris
ReplyDeleteI am looking to purchase minimum 30 pairs of 14mm precision dice with deferent body and spot colors. Please reply the following questions.
1-How to order?
2- The production and shipping duration to Canada.
Thank you and I look forward to your reply
Esmaeil
Hi Esmaeli,
ReplyDeleteApologies for the late reply and thanks for the questions.
Unfortunately all backgammon dice are backordered for more than a year. It's unlikely we will have any in stock even in 2024. Sorry.
Just a short note to confirm that no backgammon dice are due to arrive this year, sorry. The manufacturer is focussed on craps dice for casinos, of which there is a big demand still to fill. All we have left in stock is a small amount of 16mm dice. Apologies for the inconvenience.
ReplyDeleteOne other thing to add. It's unlikely that there will be any more dice with colour pips. The costs to manufacture the large minimum runs are simply too prohibitive. The epoxy is expensive and the process labour intensive. Pity, because we don't know of anyone else who was producing these.
ReplyDeleteDear Chris
ReplyDeleteThanks for your quick reply
Could you please , send me the list of 16mm dice.
Regards,
