    CigarBid Shipping Trick

    Hey all,

    So not sure if this is general knowledge or not, but I came across a trick on cigar bid that can save you on some shipping. I am not sure if it was a fluke that it worked for me or not but here's what I did.

    Basically I set delayed shipping for Thursday. If I don't win enough items to justify the shipping I will wait until Wednesday afternoon to change my shipping preference to Tuesday. What this does is pushes shipping off until the following week. Come Friday I will change my shipping preference back to Thursday and see if that gives me even more time. If you pay attention and stay on top of it, this could be a way to make sure you get a bulk of items in one shipment (assuming you are patient enough to wait).

    Your mileage may vary but it may be worth a try.

    I think a lot of us probably do this. But I'm afraid if we publicize it, the ability to manipulate the day of shipment will go away. So I've kept it on the down low.

    Did it a couple months ago, it worked. I'm trying it again to get a couple more sticks that end after the ship date. I have a feeling that if you keep doing it for awhile they'll auto-ship anyway, but I could be wrong.

    I don't think cigarbid really cares, it saves them having to pack and ship multiple boxes.

    Storage costs are what would drive them to not like us doing this.

    You know how much money I have saved from Cbid by just simply not logging in! That place is evil, so I stopped buying stuff.

    He's most likely to click "ship it yesterday" and lose out on the tactic altogether.
