You might try www.casinosupply.com I think this should be the link directly to the chip boxes. http://www.casinosupply.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=95-0101&Category_Code=VC
I have ordered jumbo cup holders and several other things from them and have been happy with the service.

Hi John,
Do those cases hold exactly 25 Chipcos per row? I'd want to use them to do a quick end count when the tourney's done.
Do you know if they sell the covered boxes with 20 per row... just more used to that?
Does anyone know if any one sells Chipco covered racks... just don't want to get a rack that holds 19 or 21 chips per slot?
Thanks,
Fins

Fins,
All of the chip boxes I have sen are 4 X 25. I really like the boxes even more so than the 5 x 25 chip rack I recieved from chipco. Even though I use both I store all my chips in a suitcase type thing, you may have seen the pics I posted.
The Chipco chips fit perfectly in them, you can tell just by looking at a full box if you have exactly 100 chips in them if you try and put 26 in one row it will not fit. You can also see if one chip is missing. When I run my tourney I can color up and account for my smaller denomination chips rather quickly. I think you would really like them if you tried them out. I just bought another 500 chips so I need another case 1000 count case so I can hold my soon to be 1900 chips.
Holla
John

I think you will be happy with them I know I am. I just wanted the case and chips boxes for storage and was planning on using the chip racks for players. I end up using the chip racks very little to be honest with you. I like having the chip racks but I use the chip boxes everyday we have a game. They have grown on my the more I use them, Let us know what you think when you get them in.
Peace
John

FWIW,
These racks/covers are at 5 star for $1.09 each.

Don't know if they're exactly the same (the ones at 5 star do not say heavy duty)

Probably are but I didn't feel like researching it or waiting for replies... glad you posted the link though... I should have added that they charged $9 for shipping  ... seems outrageous when I think about it... oh well, they're ordered and I can quit stressing over a travel chip case 
I got the photographers case used for like $5 so it'll off set foolish purchase

Does anybody carry wooden chip boxes or is there no such thing?

Just got them in yesterday ... I guess the $9 ground (cheapest shipping) means by foot. Also, what's really disappointing is I guess my Chipcos aren't "professional size poker chips" unless "neatly holds 100" means with extra room for 4 extra chips! Doh! Each slot holds to hold 26 chips. Also, this "Heavy Clear Plastic" description is taking some liberties. Doh! I haven't contacted them yet to see what my options are but wanted to post to warn others. Thanks anyway John... who knows maybe they started buying a cheaper box with all the poker interest of late.

edit: Only 26 per slot in box not 26½-27

Fins,
I am very sorry to hear you are dissapointed with the chip boxes!! Mine acctually came with my case and fit my chipco chips exactly 25 per row. You could mash 26 into them but it would bend the plastic out. Here are a couple pictures of mine.
