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

Considerably less than what it would cost to upgrade to UPS Blue.

Thanks. That sounds like a great plan. I've toyed with it before but think that's what I'll do.

I use USPS and I usually get my shipments in 2 days once they leave their warehouse, and I'm on the other side of the country from CI/cbid.

That would be nice. I could live with 2 days...3 days...4 days. Like I said earlier, if the bid goes down on Sunday and they get them to UPS on Monday, I can get them on Friday. If they wait until Tuesday, I won't get them until the following Monday. To get to me it makes five stops.

They're pretty good to deal with if you call them up. I called a while back when they started sending me stuff UPS Basic. It was annoying because we have a UPS warehouse right here in town, and they would *still* hand off to USPS, adding a day to the shipping. Of course, I'm just spoiled, because UPS Ground from CI/Famous/Holt's works out to next day in most cases.
On a side note, cbid ships pretty wet, so your sticks should be fine for an extra couple of days.
