Cuban Crafters online ordering.

Obviously, this is your very first deployment.

You're complaining about your order not reaching the 'Stan in EIGHT days.

Did you even bother to pay attention when your Unit briefed you that mail can take up to TWO WEEKS???

Anything UNDER two weeks in Afghanistan or Iraq is above expectations!!

I'm tired of keeping my personal stash in someone elses box.

Did you see my reply in your earlier thread regarding Pelican cases??

This is actually my 3rd deployment, and average mail delivery is 7 to 10 days. I would not be posting except 2 shipments from CI placed on the same day made it 7 days earlier. Also the fact that Cuban Crafters could not give me a status on the deliver and had poor customer service. Please if you have nothing constructive to post leave your opinions to yourself, thank you.

I was being nice.

I've logged 86 months deployment time and over 20 years on Active Duty. So lose the attitude.

The fact that you ordered THREE different shipments on the 6th - yet you say...

I'm tired of keeping my personal stash in someone elses box.

Shows where your priorities are at.

Storage is your PRIMARY concern over there. #1. Ambient Humidity is at best 11% - 14% and WOODEN HUMIDORS are USELESS.

Cuban Crafters CANNOT give you status on the shipment because they can only track until they turn over to the APO. Then it's all on the MILITARY POSTAL SYSTEM.

We won't mention that mail backlogs in Germany and in Bagram until they have a FULL load to deliver, because you obviously have learned that in your two previous deployments.

You want them to track all the way to you?? Pay the extra money for CERTIFIED tracking and SEE how long THAT takes.

As I said, i was being nice.

Your comment here....

I finally had to stay up late into the night when the store in the states would be open to talk to someone.

Let me break this down to the fellow members here...

Afghanistan is currently 9 1/2 hours ahead of the East Coast.

9AM here (0900) is the ""late into the night"" hours of......6:30PM (1830)....which is Chow time...Dinner.

Being that you are currently posting right now, that means it's about 20 minutes to 10PM over there...another LATE night???

My apologies to the team of 11 for having to tell a Service Member to quit whining.

I made this post to ask for opinions on online ordering and to see what if any issues people have had with Cuban Crafters and it has turned into an unproffesional attack on my character. This post needs to be closed, becuase the usefulness of it are now gone.

Everyone here has posted OUTSTANDING comments about Cuban Crafters AND their Customer Service.....except for ONE person.

On the 6th of July I placed an order

on the 15th at 3 AM you complained (Complaint #1).

I received a confirmation e-mail but the content of the e-mail was blocked by the Army

Complaint #2

I sent 2 follow-up e-mails during that week to have them send it to a different e-mail address (my civilian g-mail account) so I could ensure the order was properly processed. I received no response

Complaint #3

I finally had to stay up late into the night when the store in the states would be open to talk to someone.

Complaint #4

All they could tell me was the order was processed but they had no way of tracking it, and to call back in a week if I didn't get it.

Complaint #5

Is this a common occurence or did I just get a raw deal?

Complaint #6

then a follow up -

This is actually my 3rd deployment, and average mail delivery is 7 to 10 days.

You COMPLAINED after EIGHT days. You emailed them TWICE in that eight day period (see Complaint #3)

Also what online retailers does everyone here use that has receptive and responsive costumer service?

Obviously complaining about CubanCrafters Customer Service. (Complaint #7)

It is hard when you are 8,000 miles away to deal with people who can't help.

And once again, complaining. (Complaint #8)

That's not an unprofessional attack on your character. That's pointing out the truth.
