cheaphumidors.com purchases??

icantbejon · 01-06-2009, 07:00 PM

I'm sure people have purchased from cheaphumidors.com in the past. I was just curious if anyone has any comments on their products and services. Do they put a good humidor together? I'm in the market for a nice cabinet humi and these guys seem to offer some good prices and have good looking products. Thoughts?

I've got the Verona. It is well made for the money and has a good seal. I have an Avallo Accumonitor with 2 canisters, one for above the drawers and one for below. That would be my humidifier suggestion on any of the cabs with drawers in the center.

If you're patient, some of those cabs go off one C-Bid frequently. You just have to wait for a deal, but can save a lot of money. One is on there right now.

At some point, probably when mine is full, I'll get a Aristocrat with temp/humidity control. So If you want the best, consider them.

im very happy with my desktop from cheaphumidors

GTsetGO · 01-06-2009, 07:47 PM

i bought some hygrometers from there and had a good experience with the transaction

icehog3 · 01-06-2009, 08:59 PM

I bought two cabinet humidors from them years ago, both good experiences.

I actually had an issue with the door on one of them, contacted me and they sent a replacement Next-day shipping, and told me just to pitch the defective door. I was more than satisfied with their customer service.

I've bought two humis from them. The Footlocker and a scratch and dent that I have yet to find the scratch or dent. Very good people to do business with.

01-06-2009, 09:08 PM

i got a desktop from them, and its a great humi!

Count me as one more positive testimonial. I love my humidor that I got from them, and their shipping is fast.

yes, shipping was fast for me as well

If you are interested in anything they sell hit me up. I sell the same products they do, same day shipping(before 5pm EST) and I sell them for less almost across the board. Not trying to toot my own horn but as a new retailer they are my major competition and I'll go out of my way to give low prices and great service.

I just ordered a desktop from them. The website says orders may take 48 hours to process, but I had an e-mail by the end of the day that my order had been shipped. I ordered Friday with standard shipping, and received it today. 3 business days Tampa to NY.
Oh, and the humidor is very nicely constructed. Can't wait to load it up with my smokes.

i saw a guy who bought an imperfect and it was damaged during hsipping. they left him out to dry.

I have had great luck with Tamphumidor.com and Thompsoncigars.com

cant speak for much else.

Did they claim the damage was the original "imperfection'?

newcigarz · 01-21-2009, 06:54 AM

I had a great experience with them. Got a cabinet humi from them ( before my Aristocrat) that I still have. I had a problem with a broken catch on the door and they got a new one out quick.

It's not an Aristocrat, but for the money it served it's purpose well.

That's one of the same ones I bought from them, Tony. Served me well for a couple years, and now is serving another Inmate well. I had a problem with the first door they sent for it, and they sent me a new one overnight, and told me to just pitch the bad one rather than ship it back.

He should have contacted the shipping company first.

i say yes, it was in-fact the reason why it was sold as an imperfect.

I find it slightly ironic that one person, one time has an issue with cheaphumidors.com and you are ready to write them off forever but many people, many times have had problems with Thompsons and you continue to tout them as great. There may be more people who have had issues but it seems like this is the one that is brought up every time cheap humidors in mentioned.

As I said in the other thread it was obvious (to me) that the damage occured in shipping. The OP of that thread posted a few things that cheaphumidors.com said but we really only see one side of the story there. I'm not saying the OP is lying or anything, but keep in mind when people are upset, especially about $$, that things often get confused/misunderstood and emotions on both sides of the cash register can get in the way of coming to an amicable conculsion. Who knows what was really said? There comes a point as a retailer when you have to except that nothing that you can do is going to satisfy certain unhappy customers.

My

(and with every attempt to not be a shill) -

I, personally, have had a postive experence with cheaphumidors.com. Others have had postive exeperences with them as well.

s15driftking · 01-21-2009, 08:25 PM

Cigar customer service is different from alot of other industries.

Put it this way. Every place that i've ever done business with, that i've had quality issues with, has done right by their customer service and satisfied me to no end by making things work.

I EXPECT every cigar (and related) company to do the same, and when i see one who doesn't, I have no choice but to write them off. Not once have i had a problem with thompsons... and if i did, i wouldnt go there anymore.

And when a guy gets a busted up humidor that had much more extensive damage than a normal "imperfect" i would expect the company to RETURN the item. And if they dont return it... they are basically seeing "haha, we pawned the beat up **** off on you and we wont take it back"...Technically, if its an imperfect, why cant they take it back and re-sell it as an imperfect? the answer is. its worse that just an "imperfect" should be and they dont want that beat up box back... Truth

Case in point - i wont support people who pawn and overly "imperfect" humidor off on someone and wont take it back. Done

I bought the Treasure Dome last year. Everything's kosher with the humi. I also bought my first set of beads from them, major mistake. Buy your beads from shilala, Scott. The hygro I got from them is the best that I have.

Also go to Wal-Mart and buy a 150 quart cooler.

You'll need it
