Pretty sure that's the same policy as when this thing debuted.

But, today (Thurs), I get an order confirmation on a FF item still open (through Saturday, if they don't sell out.)

Not huge, but nothing else ordered this past week to spread out the shipping cost.

Freefail....

Operators are standing by.

The voice of reason has spoken.=d>

HA! When was the last time DMV was called THAT? LOL

Thanks for the assist, Dr.

so much for his reasoning power , not so good with a clock, they won't answer the **** phone until 9 am eastern, I want a person,pulling something odd on mine as well, already as shipped, still have one open, even though won, but winning another still open that closes today? Some fine print I don't understand yet, I'm sure

Meh...even a stopped clock is right twice a day!

Look, you crack the door open...I'm gonna smash through it like Jack in "The Shining" and fall on the floor like Farley!

didn't miss it by far, I say we meet up at PA and straighten the place out,hehe

Hey kinda like me the clock might be right twice a day, but it's still "ain't right" broken is broken,hehe.

call time gotta go

they cut and ship on Wed, nite, 11:59 pm, that's ok, lesson learned, I didn't get steiger's answer, she couldn't get what I was saying and wasn't even understanding, so I didn't bother. I'm sure you'll get an answer, please post your update as well. I needed some other things, but for the hassle , I'll save overall by doing a CI free shipper pkg

Use a different voice.[gonzo]

.....that surprised me once as well. I bid on a FREE FALL Auction on Wednesday, not expecting that item to be included in my weekly order on Thursday, since that Auction did not close until Friday. Found out they just send your Free Fall purchase ASAP, regardless of when the Auction closes. It is the one exception they do not tell you about. 🤦

:-k Since they do this for Free Fall, they should also do it for Quickbuys as well. Both are a 'purchase', not a bid, but they won't include a Quickbuy in any order until that Auction closes.

Pretty sure they give em chairs. At least I would hope they do... 😟

If I wasn't having a rough day (lots of pain) I would've called back , like I was steiger, hehe already thought about it, but had to get breakfast cooked.....errr get son to help, hehe

Free Fall Auction

The Free Fall Auction is the newest feature on CigarBid.com. Here’s how it works:

Unlike other auctions where the price is driven up by bids, the Free Fall Price is driven down by us and you decide what you are willing to pay. Free Fall Auctions allow you to purchase an item at a discounted price, eliminating the bidding process.

Free Fall Auctions begin at a set starting price. Upon lot opening, the price will start to rapidly fall right in front of you eyes. By clicking the “Buy Now” button you are agreeing to purchase the item at the price stated at the time of your click.

Once a bidder makes a purchase, or we decide the price has fallen too low the price will reset to the starting price.

If by chance, someone else bought the item seconds before your click you will be notified that the Free Fall Price is resetting.

All purchases are limited to a quantity of one. If you would like to purchase more than one, simply hang around and wait for the price to fall again. Don't wait too long, quantity available is not disclosed so you never know when the last unit is up for grabs.

Free Fall Auctions close at the listed close time or when all items have been sold. Whichever comes first.

Items purchased with Free Fall are processed into orders according to the time the purchase was made, not according to lot close time as QuickBuys do. This means that for daily shippers, the order for won Free Falls will be created that day, and for weekly shippers, the order will be created the next Thursday after the item was won.

You're welcome [sarcasm]

I'm careful to read extras,fine print, etc. That's how the rules read, I just tricked myself/didn't know about their cutoff on when they cut your orders if you have weekly shipping , as I do. Just ticked , cause now, I'll have to eat a little shipping to pick up a lighter and punch that didn't close until today, somebody outbid me, come on. Doubtful, I put a max just under the QB 'cause I been wanting one, oh well crazies are bidding up the fuel to CI price anyway, might as well use free shipping on CI and get the fuel............scratch that, I got good trade material. A good ISO,hehe

---Robert, Thanks. My quoted sentence in OP was c/p from same place you got yours. It has changed in last couple hours. At least the fine print policy now matches the practice.

I need a last revised date added to the T&C and such!
