Shipping Policy

Shipping Savings Program

Each product contains a unique shipping charge, which is listed in the description of each lot. However, our Shipping Savings Program allows you greater savings when you win more than one item.

Shipping Cost of Additional Units

• Instead of paying individual shipping charges for each product, multiple items shipped to the same address won during the same shipping period (either DAILY or WEEKLY), only the greater of the shipping charges apply, plus an amount for each additional item:
  • Singles Category: $0.25
  • 5-Packs Category: $0.50
  • Boxes Category: $1.00
  • Merchandise Category: $1.00
  • Samplers Category: $1.00
  • Free Fall Category: $1.00
  • All Others: $1.00
• Some exceptions apply, as in the case of items shipped from 3rd party vendors, oversized, and non-standard packages. Any such exceptions will be indicated in the product and shipping description.

Daily vs. Once-per-week Shipping

You now have the option through your account profile to select Daily or Weekly (once-per-week) shipping of your winning bids. Then, bidders who win multiple items during the same period will receive REDUCED shipping charges. All such savings will be reflected on your Consolidated Order Summary Invoice.

• By selecting DAILY as your shipping preference, all winning bids are shipped within 2 business days. For example, all lots closing on Monday usually ship on Tuesday. All lots closing on Friday through Sunday usually ship on Monday.
• By selecting WEEKLY as your shipping preference, for lots closing the previous Thursday through Wednesday, all winning bids are processed Thursday morning and shipped within 1-2 business days from the receipt of your order summary invoice Thursday morning.
• Sorry, we cannot hold packages won on different invoices to be shipped together.
• Changing your shipping preference takes effect immediately. For example, if your current preference is DAILY and you change it to WEEKLY, your orders will be held until Thursday for WEEKLY shipment.

Orders usually ship within 1-2 business-days from the receipt of your Order Summary Invoice and you can expect arrival within 2 to 8 business days, depending on your location. Shipping times are not guaranteed.

E-mail Confirmations

Shipping charges are re-calculated on each invoice to factor in these savings. Therefore, the automatic winning bid confirmations you receive via email after a lot closes will not reflect shipping charges. You should refer to the Consolidated Order Summary Invoice for actual charges.

Shipping Method

Standard shipping is UPS-Ground or USPS-Priority. If you select a Post Office Box or Rural Route Box as your shipping address, insurance fees may be added and your shipment will be delivered by the US Postal Service. In general for all shipments, insurance fees may be added for products valued over $50, and signature fees may be added for items valued over $100. Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and FPO/APO charges may be higher.

Foreign Shipments

CigarBid does not ship outside of the United States.
