What he said is right if you go removing the chips but with some buyers they may or may not be as picky. I know with me if you remove one or two chips off a few boards and you are sending a good few...I will just tell you don't worry about it and just put them in there.

One or two chips wont kill a whole batch...but if you go removing ALL or most of the chips then it will become a bigger issue.
