🐴 funny smileys there, and pertinent ...

anyway, I see I'm not the only one hoping for the new cigar delivery today and left holding some other stick, and not smokable! I guess its not worth getting too angry about, its not like they're not sending them, they are just slower than I'm used to. And with so many more people bidding, and the auctions listing being done smarter with lower quantities per listing to fight for and ending times late at night so more people can get access to bid, well its not too good is it?

Prices are getting near retail on a lot of stuff, and if I'm going to be close to retail I may as well order from a faster shipper. Famous Smoke Shop ships everything bought before around 2pm gets sent on the pickup that happens around that approximate time! I can order from FSS right now, regular ground, and it will be here tomorrow! Of course I'm only a few hundred miles away but they ship same day, that's the point! And since auction prices only saved me 10% to 15% max this time I think I'll just order where I can be sure I'll have my new smoke in hand on a sure date. CI is just as fast too. Sorry CigarBid, you need some better help.

But that's just me and my own opinions. Didn't see any other way to voice my dissatisfaction so I posted along with everyone else. I wonder how many other annoyed buyers are, or have, read this topic for the same reasons as us?

I DON'T buy chit from these GUYS anymore. The only people that seem to care are the ones whose job title says CUSTOMER SERVICE. The Owner doesn't give a chit. The Warehouse doesn't give a chit.


Why should WE give a chit.

Hell if you want to get your head going. Fast Forward this video to the 10:00 mark.


I stole this from another joint but I thought you would get a kick out of it.

Watch the last 10 minutes when you get a chance.


Originally introduced to me by Jaelipp, this video is a must see for any smoker. I posted the link in another thread but felt it important enough to warrant its own.

My ship date option was Tuesday 7/30 . So they actually shipped it the next day. They did put some bubble paper in this time, but it needed MORE.
Overall, an improvement since my last order in May which had ZERO packing protection..

08/05/2013 11:50 A.M. Delivered

07/31/2013 5:38 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS


Note to CI: More bubble paper, pack those smokes like they were gold.

My last order they were not even in a bag. They had 5 in a bag and 2 just thrown in the box. Haven't ordered since.

Just got a box on monday, having shipped thursday. I figured I was already paying shipping, so in for a penny, in for a pound and I ordered a handful of things, including a bottle of humicare. Everything was pretty well packed, and the mazos/samplers were each in their own bubble bag, but alas, humicare had leaked out of it's bubble bag and all over everything, including the insides of two of those bubble bags, resulting in some pretty damn soggy sticks.

I was a little bummed as this was my first CBid order and about a third of it was trashed, but customer service seems to be on the ball, and has sent out a return shipping label to return these sad, sad My Father sticks and get me some replacements.

I've gotten some pretty beat up merchandise from CI in the past, and while their customer service was friendly, they definitely weren't as ready to take responsibility for the damage.

Hi all. New to CigarBid, and my first post. My selected ship date is Thursday. My CB account said they were shipped the same day (last Thursday) and I just received my first shipment yesterday (Monday) to my home here in NC. I also like that you can change your ship date instantly, because, among other reasons, sometimes ya' just can't wait, which was the case this time with me, and so I moved my order up from today to last Thursday, and sometimes I'll want my order to build to save on shipping, which is what I'm doing on this go 'round. Thanks.

Excellent for me. Now it ships on Tuesday and I get it on Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. No hot or cold weekends sitting in some warehouse or truck. My stuff gets to me promptly and in excellent humidified shape. Rock on Cbid!

Do you think they're missing me yet?

Fix the blasted shipping, get rid of the deceptive ad copy, stop passing off the labels you purchased as the original, and maybe, just maybe, I'll start buying from here again.

The Passing of "93" rated labels is pretty uncool at best. Downright deception if you ask me.

What date did you all choose for the new weekly shipping options? How has the new system worked for you?

TUESDAY.

It has worked good for me, gives me time to watch what's for sale and an opportunity to break up or consolidate multiple items should I be fortunate enough to win.

I've got to quit bidding, buying, and start the enjoy process - got too much inventory, worry about it going bad! If that happened, I'd be in dog house with door nailed shut and she would be 🌫 🌫 [gonzo]

Fiddler I didn't list the ammounts!

David I am in agreement, but my other issue is the consistently high prices on increasingly poor selection (of what I like).

I forget what shipping option I have.

But, as long as stuff arrives within 9 to 14 days, I'm happy.
