Cigarbid.com stole my money

[projectsunfire]

people still use C-bid?

I actually just did.

So...whats the new alternative that I am missing out on?

[droy1958]

Yeah, maybe?😂

Hey Dave, are you guys getting heavy rain and hail??

Here comes the rain in big drops! Time to go inside and chew on a KC strip! Night all!......

Where else can I get $2 cigars for under $2?

Where else can I get $2 cigars for under $2?

Or $3 cigars for $2, only to spend just as much on shipping as the first auction you won, so you buy more to make the shipping seem better. Then you end up with a 12lb box of cigars for an average of $2.25 each and a wife that looks at you like you are nuts.

Sounds like the voice of experience

So the nightmare continues. The box came in today and of the 63 cigars I ordered there are only 42 inside. So I have to comb through all of them and see which ones they shorted me on

So I went through the shipment and the packing slip and they failed to ship 21 out of 63 cigars. They missed a full third of my order. And these are not indicated as "backordered."

What a colossal mess. Needless to say I will never be ordering from cigarbid again and will recommend the same to others.

That's all I have to say about this, other than the fact that puff.com deleted my post immediately and botl.org locked it after a day or two.

I guess we know whose asses they're kissing don't we?

You so realize the mods there are members here, right?

First, we didn't delete your thread at Puff. Either of them. In fact, both of them are still posted in all their train-wreck glory. (EDIT: We combined those two, plus the third one you started into one thread.)

Second, no, we don't know whose ass is being kissed. CI/cbid isn't a sponsor at either site, we have no vested interest in defending them.

What we do have is a vested interest in is not allowing people unrestricted ability to spam the board with hissy fits. What we also have are rules about being respectful, particularly with an eye towards moderator actions.

It is unfortunate that you did not get your entire order.

With the new FDA regulations taking effect Aug 8th, there have been reports of multiple shipments into the US being held up in Customs by FDA inspectors waiting for proper required documentation.
Additionally, there are reports around the same time that several shipping containers of cigars were delayed in Miami and then destroyed in the process of inspection by US Customs and Border Protection

Why Did U.S. Customs Cut My Cigars in Half? - Editorial –


In large probability, it is an explanation such as this that is the cause of your cigar shipment being delayed. Maybe it is something else entirely? Perhaps your ire is misdirected? Things happen that are out of the business' control. It is not unusual for a retailer to commit stock that is still enroute and hope that everything comes in on time to be turned around to the customer. This is good business practices of efficiency that cut costs and therefore generate additional profit or allow goods to be offered to the customer at greater savings.

You might say that they shouldn't sell stock that isn't in their hands. If they did that, then you probably wouldn't be able to snag "45 items for $115". I am sure there is a good explanation why "21 of your 63 cigars" weren't shipped; like they didn't have them. I don't think they are doing it on purpose to "Steal your Money". Maybe they were irked by your comments on their forum and are doing it intentionally to piss you off.? (sarcasm)

I would hate to go through life thinking everyone is out to get me and steal my money. Seems to me this would be the source of much unhappiness. I don't know, some people do get a kick out of stirring up drama on various media sites to sit back and watch reactions. Now that would be '

an experiment to see what kind of response [one] would get

I do hope that this gets resolved for you. If they can't ship merchandise, then you should be credited for that amount. My real hope is that everything comes in soon as you ordered it.
