I won 86 cigars at some other place this week, and my shipping day is Thursday. Different size and types of singles, with some 5 packs and samplers. Of course they where closed yesterday, but everything packed and shipped today, and I have a tracking number. They even included my wins from yesterday in this shipment, instead of waiting till next Thursday, and hitting me with another shipping charge.
If previous experience holds true, everything will be packed inside of sealed bubble wrap bags, and the whole order will be shipped in an oversized box, completely lined with air pillows.
For this well padded, oversized box, with bubble wrap bags, I paid a flat $8.95 shipping. Just for giggles, I decided to calculate Cbid shipping for the same order. A whopping $18.70, and they would have been shoved into the smallest box possible, with maybe 1 air pillow on top.
Not only did I win the cigars for far less then I currently could have won them here, but I paid less then half for superior packaging, and prompt shipping.
I hope CBid is listening.
Edited to add: Oh, and no back orders, either.
