Pre-order for Pete's mini monsters has begun!

[ZachF88]

The Boris was a part of Pete's "actor" series, which includes just the Boris....

I have spent hours searching and calling and have gotten almost nothing, so usual Pete Bull. Which sucks because I love most of what he makes and want them.

Holts had some earlier today. I placed an order for a box this morning and they shipped it out today.

Not happy they charged my CC and my order hasn't even shipped yet. I called them and they assured me that if my CC was charged, I'm getting a box. I was like, No sh!t, I better be. Will not order from them again.

I know how y'all feel. I ordered a bundle of Mexican Experiments from 3J's on the 11th. They were listed as in stock. I never got an e mail letting me know they were waiting for the last 100 bundles available to arrive. Had to call twice and both times was assured that they would ship them as soon as they got in. I doubt I'll ever buy anything from them again.

I've never had a business charge me until the item shipped. Poor business practice if you ask me.

It's called a no interest loan. Our power company does it all the time. I get a bill twice as high
as it should be, then the next month I get a $15 dollar bill. It's a scam.

Plus they can charge you a higher rate for all of the "extra" electricity you use. Sometimes they even give you the "little" bill first. I've been watching them lately and called a couple times and they've stopped doing that - at least for now.

West Coast companies still haven't received their MM's yet, so there should be plenty around within a week or two.

I was charged for my 3JC's order, so I asked them via email if my order had shipped. I received an incomprehensible email and it pretty much said check my spam folder for USPS email if it had shipped. I ordered a box of lil' monsters and 5er of mexican experiments.... Not sure if I'll get any of them.

[maninblack]

Wow, that's total BS. If mine don't ship Monday I'm going to cancel my order and demand a refund.

Got On The List At Smoke Inn. No Guarantees, But They're Out Of Them, Now.

So my brother and I pre ordered a box a couple weeks ago. He was going to order them and I was just going to give him cash for my half when I get back home in July. I asked him today if he had heard about when they might ship. When he got online to check the order status it turns out that he never even ordered them! All he did was put them in the shopping cart and he got distracted and forgot lol.

So now we are on a waiting list.

Well I just placed an order of the minis at Holts. It was too late to call and ask/order with a person so I just did it online. It showed that they were still in stock so I pulled the trigger. Crossing my fingers.

[Ender]

Bob, did you get a hold of any?

I noticed today that my card was charged as well.

I told them that if the order doesn't ship tomorrow that they are to cancel it and refund my card.

I'll never order from them again either way

[themoneycollector]

Why does that shop charge your CC up front if they don't have the boxes in front of them to sell in the first place?

That's not a good practice in general. Not just for cigars, but for any purchase. I'm ok for leaving my cc info and they can charge me once they arrive and ship out, but no way would I be ok with them charging me up front.

Ender--I have done business with Holts for almost ten years and never had an issue with delivery or their "in stock" inventory status. They still show them as in-stock and first on the samplers list.
