How many of you like me wish CB would offer a shipping system where we could choose to have our winning bids shipped within a 7 day period of closing. Example: I have four winning bids which closed on 4 separate days let's say back to back days for simplicity. Your option as a customer to have your bids sent out on a particular day within that weeks end so all come at same time to save on shipping. Or, if you prefer have it shipped when closes if so choose. Point is.....give us the option! If interested let them know by e-mailing customer service. Alone we are weak but together we are a army! Some famous general had to have quoted that at one time....oh well, you get my point.

YES, YES, YES !!!! I was just thinking the same thing. It would be great if we could designate a day or have it desigated for us (so CB doesn't have everyone requesting Mondays and nothing for the shipping department to do the rest of the week). GREAT IDEA!

It is a great idea... As long as it does not create a logistical nightmare for the warehouse.

ah, well you know they will do this already, you just have to ask. On a number of instances where I had auctions closing within a few days of another, I asked to combine both into one shipment and CI happily obliged.

I also have found CB willing to ship orders from various days together. The only stipulation I have found is to let them know early enough so they can make a note of your request. For instance, mailing a note on wednesday night asking them to combind wednesdays score with thursdays score. Chance are by the time the note is read wednesdays package will be on its way.

C'mon guys!You are asking for a feature that already exists! Simply go to account information and check the box that says "Ship all on Friday" Now how about that Martini feature requested earlier!

YES, this feature is in effect. I'm still working out all the details, but basically:

1. you can choose to ship your winning bids once per week (on Friday) or once per day (Monday - Friday).

2. the feature goes into effect next Friday (June 16) so sign up now

3. You can only change your option once per week. Basically, if you are on a daily shipping schedule now (which everyone is) you can make the change in your profile, but the change won't go into effect until the following Friday. Similarly, if you are on a weekly shipping schedule and you want to change your option to daily, it won't go into effect until the following Friday.

4. I'll have a help section up later today with more details.

questions? email me at [email protected]
