Why fix it when our business model has been raking in the money. Sell cigars at a discount (for the most part) in high quantities and spread our customer service and warehouse employment thin to maximize profit margin. In all seriousness, I hope the employees there are taken care of through this mess but something about this company tells me otherwise.


P.S. I am prepared for my timeout come Monday if they have the time to read this.

Not sure about that.
The CS ladies are most likely under paid.
The IT staff? Hmm...

Can't eat into the profit margin from a third world country product by paying staff more money or even hiring enough competent employees to do the work needed.

Pretty much.

Don't know of any instance where this has happened before that the business didn't shut down to fix the problem.

Honestly most companies don't reopen from a maintenance shut down until the software is running properly, lack of caring is what this company has shown the consumers. Used to be your reputation as a business meant something but today it seems that once they become established they don't care anymore.

OK ... we've had our fun ... time to move on ... the bitching and moaning has run its course ... they encountered a much larger than anticipated problem, did what they could to fill the orders while dealing with it and get back to normal ... most of us were affected, but a few among us just don't seem to be able to let go ...

If you were in a restaurant when their order-entry system went to sh** and your dinner came out slow, wrong, or whatever, you'd at some point seriously wear out your welcome by standing in the middle of the dining area and shouting imprecations at the restaurant owners, management and wait staff ...

Either you trust that they're gonna get it straight and be worth coming back to for dinner or you don't ... if not, find a new restaurant ... either way, knock off the shouting in this one ... I'm pretty tired of your antics and am willing to bet there's plenty of others who feel as I do ...

And don't let the door hit you in the a** on your way out ...

Most restaurants would shut down if their entire ordering system went awry. Or higher more waitstaff to supplement while they tested and fixed everything. Everybody that was effected would get free meals. They'd make public announcements that there would be increased wait times beforehand. But let's just beat a dead horse then continue ordering product. There's plenty of non forum users here continuing to bid ignorantly that rewards the site enough that they won't care about us. I just hope the real working heroes behind the desk get their fair share.

There has been nothing fun about this fiasco. I am still waiting for an order placed a month ago. Available quantities are still way down in at least in the categories I bid from. And prices are way up. It kind of reminds me of what happens at the gas pump when the oil refinery "goes down for maintenance". Deliver less inventory at higher prices. It's a terrific business model, just not for the consumer.

Wow.

Careful buddy, you may alienate the few users this forum has left and turn the forums into a ghost town.

A forum with no users is a bad sign for an eCommerce company. CI / CBid might have been the 800 Lb gorilla, but fk ups of this magnitude kill 800 Lb gorillas all the time.

GL with that tone towards the locals.
