[quote=Tiver]A bundled bid is a made up thing. Rules say you can't make things up and expect sympathy.
First off, I would hope you have your shipping set to weekly.
Second, buying from this site requires a little thoughtful strategy with regard to shipping cost. You will eat that first $7 and change no matter what you win. Sure is gonna hurt if you only win a single.
Set your shipping day. Look to win something the day after your shipping day or soon after. That gives you close to a week to bid and win other items that will cost $.25 - $1 additional each for shipping.
Like you said, it makes no sense to pay for shipping, tax, etc., for a single cigar

Yep, everything you said. I figured out very quickly that the way to get the best deals here is to buy the largest packs you can, not singles of anything. Cigars, Boveda packs, doesn’t matter, wait for an auction for a bunch of them. You might pay a slightly higher price per cigar or Boveda pack (if you’re impatient and don’t wait for a better auction), but paying $0.20 more per Boveda pack when buying a lot of 20 sure beats paying a whole dollar for shipping per individual pack when buying a bunch individually.
But as per our usual arrangement, some people put no effort in, and are somehow surprised when they are disappointed with their results.
