You could simply state, "Not only did I not receive any of the parts, the parts were not in stock and did not arrive after I did not order them. this makes me very unsatisfied."

As long as you still have at least one stinky finger, you're doing OK. Much more age and you might find you miss it.

Don't forget to include punitive damages for emotional distress, future therapy to relieve the emotional scars, etc.

I talked with Stinky more, after he saw my post in here, and realized I wasn't quite happy with the way things played out (He thought I was gonna take him up on sending it back, and buying one for that price from him.)

At his request I called his cell... and had an hour long talk where we cleared the air and shot the ****. He's a really nice guy actually. He again offered to sell one at the discounted price, and that he had found a brown base he'd give me. He doesn't do the assembly, nor is the assembly done near him (Which I had thought it was), so it's not like he can just walk behind his house and grab a base. Really nice guy. He reminded me of my Father in law haha.

Glad this resolved...I've met Stinky and shared a smoke or 15 with him at EPIC last year...nice guy...

I suggest a top hat and monocle to make your suit more classy.

So got a call from Cigar Bid and apparently they "don't have any bases in stock, but I can send it back".

...I'll PM Bill, thank you Mac.

How pissed is the customer that received only a base?

hahahahahah I hadn't thought about it like that.

Update:
Well, I PM'd Bill "Stinky" asking if he could do anything to avoid having to send the entire upper part back to Cigarbid. This seemed like the easiest solution for everyone.

The reply I got seemed... cold, and like I was a giant pain in his butt. He said to basically send it back to Cigarbid so they can fix their mistake (Which is true, they messed up, not him), but it was how he came across... Really short and a bit pompous.

When I said that I really would appreciate him letting me buy a base off of him, he said, "Send it back to Cigarbid, get your refund. When you get your money back, I'll sell you one for the same price." That was a really nice thing of him to do; I'd rather deal with sending the upper part back however.

Not attacking him, or his products. I really love my Stinky, but I'm just disappointed with how all of that played out.

If any mods have a problem with this post, I'll take it down.

Personally, I am really sorry to hear that it went that way but I'm not at all surprised.

I'm certainly not going to get personal but I do believe I'm in the clear to say: Certain personnel in the executive office of Stinky Cigars could seriously use some lessons in people skills. Contrary to the beliefs of some people in that company, not all people in this world (other than this person) are possessed of cretin level intelligence. Passive aggression and condescension are also not solid communication skills.

Customer Service (or lack of it) starts at the top.
