If I have shipping set for Thursdays, win some cigar lots, then on Wednesday change my shipping preference to Tuesdays...

Will my winning lots be held until the next week Tuesday? Allowing me to add more winning lots to the order thus getting the combined shipping deal on more cigars? 😕

Yeah yeah, it's just a few bucks savings and the shipping preference is only changeable once every seven days so you couldn't do this indefinitely.

But is it possible?

I don't know why. Other than I'm always curious about messing with the system.

I think that would probably work, give it a shot and see.

I could never do that, though, I need the smokes delivered ASAP to satisfy my OCD.

🤣

Ha! My curiosity is satisfied. 👍

And my views on internet advice are substantiated by all the other responses. [crapful]

Lighten up, Francis. This is the deep end.

Interesting!

Going one way you gain two days but switching the other way you gain five.

So you have to wait a week between every other order then? Or do you? Am I doing the math all wrong?

Dang. I need to look at a calendar and think this out. 🤔

I swear this site is a bit like crack to a cigar smoker. I'm thinking I better just take what I've won so far and get out of here before I both go broke and run out of humidor space completely.

changing your ship date preference after you win won't change the ship date for that item

Yeah you have to wait a week in between changed. So you can do it, gain a few days. But have to wait a week after you change it to change it back, then wait another week to do it. It works if you don't order too often. I set it for Thursdays. Then on Wednesday I change shipping to Tuesday so I can get the extra days. It does save on shipping if you win enough bids. Since I don't order often enough I don't mind waiting a week in between the changes. But like you said you can get two days one way and 5 the next. If you order often enough do it that way. If you are monthly or every other, switch it ahead of time back to Thursdays so you can get the 5 days again

Interesting possibility, I hadn't thought about that.

Although Cheno says he does it all the time.

Now I'm tempted to play with it just to see if it would work. 🤔

Actually I think you can work it more than that.

Let's start with this week.

Tues 23 Order ships

Fri 26 switch to Thursday shipping

Thur 1 Order ships

Wed 7 switch to Tue shipping

Tue 13 Order ships

Fri 16 switch to Thur shipping

Thur 22 Order ships

Wed 28 switch to Tue shipping

Tue 4 Order ships

... and on and on.

So if one were to order regularly - every week - the orders would ship on Tuesday, the following Thursday, SKIP a week, then Tuesday, the following Thursday, SKIP a week...

But that's going from an entertaining intellectual exercise to something a little too close to work. If one were ordering that regularly the shipping wouldn't matter much.
