Maybe some of you can help or SteveR at cbid. Why is it that Cbid and CI are part of the same company but CI will let you set up an alternate shipping address but Cbid wants you to set up another account to have any thing shipped USPS? I had a cigar package that included a lighter and Cbid sent USPS but the place I live at don't have mail delivery so I have a P O Box but P O don't take UPS and DHL so I have UPS delivered to the front office. If I could set up an alternate address I would not have to worry about which account I was logged into in order to bid.

Thanks for letting me rant and yes I know $ucks to be me,lol.

Not only that but I would like to see their data-base

be intergrated so if you had CBID account it would automatically be linked to CI. Suggest their look at

a SAP /Basis system or asked their webmaster MIS person how that could be accomplished for 2005.

Harriscom,

It would be great, but since CI and CigarBid are separate companies, you won't see that happen.

The two companies have different methods and policies because on one site, you pay full retail; on the other, you occasionally pay less than our cost. Despite what many of you think, LOTS of people are getting cigars near or below cost. That's the reason for the different policies.

You wouldn't ask Old Navy and the Gap to combine your purchases, would you? Same idea here....

Ahh...you beat me to it, Trish!

What about haveing an alternate shipping address on Cbid so items that have to shipped USPS can be sent to my P.O. Box instead of my actual address that does not except mail delieveries?

I had two shipments that were sent the same day. One USPS the other DHL. I have recieved the USPS delivery. Waiting on the DHL.
