Hello CBid!

I've found "the devil site" lol. I must say, I've read on this site before but was just never brave (or loaded) enough to invest in a solid night of bidding.

I lost my cbid virginity on the "ending soon" section, as this order was for my birthday which falls on Feb 3 🙂 Woot!

My humi is empty lol, it's gonna be nice to replenish. I ordered 45 stoges total, all tonight and had a few questions, which I think I am clear on... but wanted to make sure....

Since I ordered tonight, it's to my understanding that the cutoff is tonight... and that I should be invoiced tomorrow, and the stoges should ship friday. Yes?

Also, I was smart and did the buddy deal and ordered a few "lots" with the "W" which states it's 2 or more. So it's 5% off the total order?

Lastly, since all the lots should be on the same invoice, and the highest shipping was $5.50 is that the shipping price, or is it indeed $1, .50 or .25 for each subsequent lot after the first?

Closed 1/19 Rocky Patel Nicaraguan Factory Selects Liga 'A' Robusto - 15 Cigars 1/1 $25.00

Closed 1/19 Camacho Pre-Embargo Collection - Sampler Box of 3 1/1 $25.00

Closed 1/19 Cu-Avana Robusto Variety Sampler - 8 Cigars 1/1 $10.00

Closed 1/19 5 Vegas Quattro Nickel Sampler - 4 Cigars 1/1 $ 7.00

Closed 1/19 El Mejor Emerald Churchill - 5-Pack 1/1 $ 5.00

Closed 1/19 Best of A. Fernandez 5-Star Sampler - 5 Cigars 1/1 $16.00

Closed 1/19 Padilla 5-Star #2 Sampler - 5 Cigars 1/1 $16.00

If you are able to answer, I would greatly appreciate it, I read the policies repeatedly and feel I have a pretty good grasp on it, I'm mainly wanting to know if shipping will indeed be 5.50 or 11.50 (5.50 + 1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1)

thanks in advance and happy bidding!

I always have them ship USPS instead as it ships on Thursday and gets here Saturday. When I had it shipped UPS, sticks didn't get here until the following Monday since they don't deliver on Saturday.

Nicar, I hesitate to order the chocolate after they hit us hard in Chitown recently. Are the yellow bags getting through OK now? LMK Greg

Just met 2 guys in my town last night who had recently recieved some "swiss treats" and they were shipped direct and did not go through Chi town.

Welcome Newb, your slow days at work will be spent looking at boxes then humidors then more boxes...it's a vicious cycle!

You guys are super helfpul, it was indeed the 11.50, investigating now the shipping method... I dont mind the insurance but dont mind the quicker delivery either lol.

I love my local smoke shop here in Wichita, KS... new place, they call it "The Humidor" and it features an amazing lounge, but when I need to stock my 75 capacity humidor, it's illogical to fill it up at the local place with the local tax, yanno?

I go there for my god of fires and my forbidden x's though, it just seems to offset all the money I save lol.

Thanks to everyone who have contributed information, you've been great!

Edit:

I dont remember selecting UPS but apparently I did, so here's to getting them quicker!

Good luck on getting them quicker with UPS. I switched my shipping preferance to USPS, and cut 3 days off the shipping.

It appears that UPS takes forever to cross the Mississippi River.

be careful with usps, i assume you're not a student but for me if it went through usps it would add close to a full week of processing through the school mail room...

and this site is possibly the most addicting thing I've ever experienced... i will never tell a soul how much i've spent on here in the last three weeks
