I still haven't heard from the auctions I won on the 16th but that's another story.

Hopefully, they're back on track for good!

I never lost hope. 🙂

I mean 22 5-Packs is SO PITIFUL! Should be about 120

and only 168 Quickes as opposed to over 300 EVERY DAY! before their DOWNGRADE!

and only 177 Singles available. Before their Downgrade they always had over 400 up for bid

and even boxes are down by 30 for 40 per day. NEVER posted less then 110 per day prior to the downgrade.

who gives a **** about shipping when their ain't nothing worth bidding on at a decent price.

Did Cameroon name this person yet?

How about "Numbers"?

Are you stocking your shelves at a B&M or somethin..?? 😕

the question at hand is who does #2 work for

Las Calaveras '17 is starting to get some teasers online. Supposedly a combo of '14 and '16. So that's a box buy there and after that maybe a box of Cubans.

Basically I'm saying without a good selection, low winning bids, and fast shipping I have no desire to bid on anything here anytime soon.

This is a chat site, not a cigar shopping site.

Not only is availability down, but prices are up. Kind of like when the refineries "go down for maintenance". Reduced available inventory and higher prices. Sound familiar?

There is one advantage to Cbid's reduced available inventory. I can get to the other sites sooner.

Take a gander at the Cigar Brands page and notice how thin it is compared with the past.

Likewise, scan through their sister site and notice the number of OUT OF STOCK items.😨

The problem, he said, is due to implementation of new software systems including new MRP software. I worked for a very large defense contractor that had similar issues when we went 'live' with the new system. Users spent hundreds of hours training and some of the brightest people I've ever known were reassigned from their regular duties to learn the system and plan the implementation. Needless to say, there were MAJOR hiccups that quite literally brought the company to it's knees for over 6 months. We lost track of inventory during the migration of data from the 'old' system and had a $12 million inventory discrepancy. All salaried folks were hands on deck to conduct a physical inventory count every weekend for over three months. That only made things worse due to sloppy counts of high dollar items in packages. (Some counted packaged items as one when there were actually 100 or more in each package....) It was a terrible mess that took well over a year to resolve. The only products we shipped for the first 6 months were for government 'rated' projects which were handled outside the system. I don't know how much it cost the company but I'm certain it was WELL into 7 and perhaps 8 figures.

With that said, the software implementation is a very reasonable explanation for the issues. I'm confident CI will get back on track....their future depends on it. Listening to the video brought back some very bad memories.

Give CI a bit of time to get on track and for the users of the software to learn how to drive the system. If my experience is any indication, customer service will be better than ever once the issues are behind them.

I wish them well.
