Anybody Else?...Or How To Ruin A Good Cigar

I don't usually complain...really...but it seems this problem just keeps getting worse. First let me say that I really like CBid. I've gotten good deals and I really can't complain about the deals and I appreciate what they are trying to do.

That brings me to my complaint. It seems that the shipping is getting sloppy. Because of where I live I have two rules when it comes ordering from Cbid. #1 I only bid on boxes or bundles; #2 I only bid on lots that are expiring on Sunday because it takes 5 days for them to get to me. I order on Sunday, they ship on Monday, I get them on Friday. Not great, but some things you have no control over and you shouldn't be criticized for things you have no control over.

That brings me to the present. Because it was Father's Day I had a little disposable income and so I got a box of sticks that I normally wouldn't get. Not expensive, but good. So, I wait. Nothing. I get the email notice that I won...I got the email invoice...then nothing. Finally, I get a tracking number from the Cbid site and run it...nothing. Today it's Wednesday and I finally got my email telling me that UPS has taken over the process and the delivery is scheduled for Monday. This means the sticks will either be in a hot warehouse or a hot truck for two additional days.

Oh, well, I just needed to vent. This is not the first time I've struggled with them. There was another time shipping got delayed...there was the time that I won a bundle that they didn't have and had to back order, etc.
