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

Call customer service and request your shipping be changed to USPS. Your packages will go out USPS priority and you should have them in 2-3 days. There will be a nominal extra charge for insurance added on once you get over $100 value of the shipment, but it's really cheap. Couple bucks that's it. Considerably less than what it would cost to upgrade to UPS Blue.

I agree with Adam on that one, if you want them early pay for the faster shipping. IMO

Another good reason to try and stock up in the cooler months with the occasional impulse buys in the hot months. If you freeze than I wouldn't be as concerned.

Thanks Neo...make no mistake about it, I freeze the sticks I get in the summer that comes off the truck. I think my biggest complaint is that they didn't get it shipped until Tuesday. But, I'll survive. I just needed to vent.

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.
