I live on a remote Army base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Takes up to 14 days to get my shipments.

Never had an issue.

YMMV.

I have been using CBID for years, and most of the time zero issue. What I was upset over is that my order left PA on the 18th and I finally got it today around 4PM the 25th. I was sort of let down since I know there is a good change these cigars suffered some damage, its 110 out around me and they sat in for days in town for what reason I have zero clue. In the past usually things come in 3-4 days which is totally fine, I understand it takes some time. I was just curious if people saw a change, I have a family member who ordered after me and got his cigars 3 days prior to me and his auction ended after mine was set to ship. So anyway, people on here jump on people as bots and or quacks for caring about their cigars and loving the hobby. Been buying for 20 years all over place online and local so not some idiot kid and his first order.

I also saw others with similar issue so this is just not me.

Thanks for being civil, appreciated.

yeah, but that's a humid climate. resting for 14 days on a ship probably does them some good.

If they shipped it usps, have them change your carrier to ups. if they shipped it ups, have them change it to usps. Getting mad at C-bid doesn't fix the problem. The problem was the shipping company.

Just sayin'

I spoke to one of the ladies at CBID, I asked if I can pay or do something to allow for faster shipping since I live in a crappy place with bad temps. She told me sorry but there are no options when it comes to shipping. So I tried and it is what it is. People in here are telling me to get faster shipping etc or pay but CBID told me there are no options to pick from. They ship via UPS then change it to USPS and then deliver, that is the main issue they are changing hands and adding another 2 days to the transition, not sure why UPS cannot deliver direct but again I was told no options.

Thanks for reply.

disappointing ending for sure, but you did it the right way.

as for all the crap you took here, it's really just a weird kinda love. Not NAMBLA weird, but unlike normal love. I should probably stop saying love...

get a heavy coat and stick around and fight some more...it's fun.

or don't.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. LOL I took a good beating but in the end it is all good. I know all too well I probably jumped the noob gun with posting about an issue since in the end it was probably better to address with people directly than in an open forum. Anyway, just a cigar bum who likes to drink and smoke at the end of the day, did not intend to jack the forum over my issue was just venting.

Cheers

Much better.

CBid uses UPS as their default shipping company. But, for the those of us in know there is a better way if you're will to pay $7.95 (???) more per order. If you call customer service the fine ladies at CBid will switch you over to USPS Priority Mail. Also choose to have your winning bids shipped weekly.

I haven't bought from here in a while since I semi-quit smoking about a year ago due to health reasons. But, before then I bought around 200 cigars a month from here for a few years. I chose Tuesday as my processing date. Like clock work my smokes arrived on Saturday.

On a different subject, if you haven't already done so I highly recommend you get some large capacity storage. Most the folks that actively post here have collections that include at least a few hundred cigars to as many as 5-6 thousand. When I stopped buying, I had at least a 2 year supply. Nothing smokes better than a well aged cigar, provided it wasn't a crappy cigar to begin with.

That being said, there are some real good buys here if you know what to look for. But, until you have passed some time here and made some friends with the azzholes, me included, who pig piled you, you'll spend a lot of time and money buying crappy smokes for 2-3 $. However, after you've traded with a few folks here and found a way to fit in, those same azzholes will be most helpful.

Oh, and I've been in a real $hitty mood for a couple of weeks. So don't mind me too much.
