I placed an order at the end of February.

Still not resolved or refunded.

I'm at an APO address also, but I don't think that makes any difference in this case.

Same here. I've called customer service about five times since winning a bid back in February. Haven't been billed for my bid, nor have I received my cigars. I believe I talked to the same lady on all five occassions I've called them. She was very polite, and said she would work it out. . . . . Two months later, and still no cigars.

Want to ask if anyone has had an recent dealing with Cigarbid's customer service. Cigarbid and I have been doing business for about 10yrs..all good...until now. I am military assigned to Osan AB South Korea. I paid for merchandise and it was shipped late Jan to my APO. It has not arrive and they (cigarbid) has been unresponsive to my requests for assistance. Folks I need your help...please let them know customer's messages are being ignored. They have my money but I have not product....me today maybe you tomorrow.

Thank to all

cb customer service is not applicable, management has their hands tied, 2 people to handle the worlds cb issues!

cb new shipping policy choices are NONE, you as a customer have no say, it is a no cooperation failure combination of

UPS/USPS. I waited on hold @ customer service 30 hours, once 8 hours solid, no answer, lost package i had to fight with UPS & USPS, each would not accept responsibility.

In the same boat is there any help?

Yes I am having issued of receiving a refund as well. I have held on the phone for a total at different times of over two hours. Being in business all my life, I smell a cash flow issue. You can't deliver what you don't have and you can't get product when you can't pay your bills. Simple.

First issue is the lack of customer service, or the breakdown.

Second is excuses when and if you reach them.

Third is taking your money to increase cash flow but not shipping what they don't have in stock.

Fourth is not issuing refunds because they have no money to do so.

Fifth and first is the lack of customer service, or the breakdown.

Too bad, they were once a company I enjoyed doing business with...no more.

There are enough other companies outside of Bethlehem Pennsylvania to do business with, and when they sniff what's going on watch the sales you find. It's only a matter of time.

Good luck.

Rimmer14u, that smell is not a cash flow issue.

I'm starting to consider that there is Moore than an

" IT" issue going on at C-bid.

I hope not, I've been an avid customer for years.

You're probably right that there is more going on. My last order was all screwed up, bundled too early, shipped several weeks late and was missing a number of items. Missing items were sent one-by-one over the next month and my final missing item, a brick of 60g Boveda packs, they sent a zip lock bag of 8g packets...that's not an IT issue.

Early on I was able to get through to customer service and was given the same story about there only being two of them, now I can't get through to anyone. Kind of seems like they're closing up shop.

I understand and feel all of your frustrations. I am frustrated as well. As many know, there are only 2 of us. 2 customer service reps to handle all of this, DaMarie and myself. I'm sorry, I really am. We do the best that we can.

Please pm either of us on here and we will get back to you when we get in the office.

The fact they have not at a minimum hired temps during their crisis is a reflection of how they feel about the customer and their front line employees.

Hang in there CS folks.

My last order they sent the wrong box of cigars. I guess I'll contest the credit card charges if I don't get a reply.
