Having the same issues. I won a few bids and forgot to update my credit card expiration date. I received an email that there was a processing error and to call the 1-800 number. Yesterday I was placed on hold for 35 minutes without a response. I then left a customer service request that is still open 24 hours later. I called twice today. The first time I was on hold for 20 minutes and then disconnected. I’m at about 20 minutes in on hold for the second call.

I’ve been buying from cigarbid.com for over 10 years. I’ve had almost all positive experiences with them until now. I find it concerning that for a few months, there is seemingly no one handling customer service requests. Everyone’s got jokes until they run outta smokes. Where are you cbid customer service?:-({|= 🤔

Most of them died from the ‘Rona. Best bet it to PM CelticBomber.

Be advised though, your incompetence with updating your credit card is not going to make this a high priority for CelticBomber so ask nicely.

Dont let him scare you. CelticBomber took care of my issues better than any rep I've ever dealt with anywhere.

He even threw in a pack of matches!

Update:

To anyone experiencing problems with your cigarbid orders, I finally did get ahold of someone at cigarbid customer service. It was at the 1 hour and 5 minute mark, for those interested. Her name was Darlene and she was very polite. She explained that everyone is still working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that cigarbid’s popularity has exponentially gone up because of it. She said that her system is running very slow to top it all off. She resolved my issue and hopefully it ships out today. Just be prepared to put your phone on speaker and go about your day until they can get to you.

I also received a PM from CelticBomber. Shoutout to him as well. You all are an “interesting” bunch.

Couple questions.

Why did you let your stock run down so low?

Did a Celtic Bomber give you great service? He’s French, so he’s a bit.... odd. He plans to give his two week notice, but is working through the holiday. Just in case he responded with I cannot help you (in an obnoxious accent).

You know how liberal college art major drop outs can be. Usempromo code ITSATARP for free matches from Celtic.

Happy shopping.

Allow me to present some constructive feedback.

The work you do for Cigarbid is important and appreciated.
It is not appropriate to refer to the most important people (the costumers) as ‘bastids’.
This will impact your Year End Review and rating.
As a result, there will be no raise at the end of the year. You will continue on your current level of compensation.

Direct, timely and actionable feedback is how we learn and grow. We look forward to you continuing to grow with the organization, including ( but not limited to) taking on other additional tasks both within and outside the description of your role with the organization.

We appreciate you and you owning your own development.

I have been trying to get thru for the past couple of days, staying on the phone for more than an hour at a time just hoping for somebody to pick up. Last week I did the same thing. And still got nothing. Im on the line right now as we speak. I have been consistently buying cigars from CBid every week and didnt really experience problems until recently when I saw a charge drafted from my account that did not match my current invoice or any other invoice. Then on my last order yesterday, my bank restricted the payment because they charged my card for the same amount 2x. So now im trying to get thru to them to resolve this issue and also question that other unauthorized charge taken out of my account.

That's why you PM CelticBomber. He's the man that can get you out of your jam.

CelticBomber is so good he would have made you forget all about that weird charge on your account and he would have made it right. That's right... CelticBomber is the greatest cs rep of all time.

The wording points to you as direct management of one C. Bomber. So you are handling any escalated issues he might be unable to resolve?

I only have input on raises thru the end of q3. Gave my two week notice 13 days ago, so I’m out.
Got a bonus for getting a % of a double billing scheme Celtic Bomber came up with. He is brilliant.
