Sometimes our warehouse has an extra board that we'd prefer not to discard. We'd rather find homes for them, and we hope to crowd-source the cost of shipping with donations on our Gift-A-Goban page. We aren't currently in the black on that, so we will ask you to cover the shipping cost of your free goban.
If you'd like a free Goban, and we have any in stock, simply select from one of the Thickness options. Then complete checkout with your shipping info.
The different Thickness options refer to the thickness of the board itself. Apart from the 3-5cm table boards, thicker boards will come with Legs that add about 12cm to the total height.
The default delivery method for boards up to 12cm thick is Surface (Japan Post Seamail), which takes up to 3 months in transit. This costs a little over $100 USD. Boards 13cm+ must go Airmail (FedEx International Priority) which only takes 1 week but costs $150-$200. Accordingly, if you select one of these very thick boards, you will be asked to bear that shipping cost as the purchase price (at checkout there won't be an additional shipping charge).
Please note that the photo is a placeholder, and not the actual item. A preview image of the item may be available when you select an in-stock item from the dropdown menu.
You can view the donation progress on our Gift-A-Goban page, or read about the original project on our Blog (2024 update).
