It is amazing some of the stuff that happens with some purveyors.

I thought this saga had ended. :rolleyes: Silly me.

So last week, I placed a bid on the Devil Site and won. ($66 for a Cigar Oasis Excel) I paid for the item aaaannnnddddd.... I receive this email on Wednesday telling me that I have not paid for the humidor:

"You recently placed an order with us. This was after a chargeback
was initiated on order XXXXXXXXXX dated 2.20.17. I don't know
the particulars of that issue but I do know that until a successful
resolution is reached we're not able to ship product to you. This
includes our sister companies Cigars International and Cigar.com."

Over the last couple of days, I have gone through my CC statements from 2017, found when I paid for the humidor (March) and provided CigarBid with the information. Still they refuse to recognize the payment and now want me to pay a second time for the humidor to "satisfy their records." I've told them I refuse to pay twice for a product. So they are refusing my bid and I am now taking my business elsewhere.

The weird aspect is that I have purchased from both CI and CigarBid in the past year since the kerfuffle, but have not been contacted by them about the humidor. But now this is coming up.

I'm just curious if anyone else has had issues with either of them recently.

I haven't had any problems.

So I can finally close this out and I am a happy camper once more. :)

When they originally applied the charges back in '17, they placed two charges on my credit card - all for the same amount. Citi knew something was up and blocked them all then contacted me. I agreed to only the first charge and paid that one. But when CI finally shipped the humidor, they applied another charge which Citi blocked again. No further action was taken by CI and Citi mistakenly thought the approved charge was also wrong, so Citi blocked that charge as well.

But between June '17 and now, the CI Accounting Department did nothing about it in terms of contacting me about the matter. :2

In any case, it has now all been resolved. I have my humidor, my cigars, and Cigar Oasis Excel.

Now on to smoking this morning.

Just won a box of 15 Graycliff 15 year Vintage presidentes, 10 MUWAT, and 10 MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured for about $115 total...
