Does anyone know why sometimes they ship DHL and sometimes they ship UPS? The reason i ask is because UPS will not leave a package at my door, but another other freight company will. I would like to know ahead of time so I can call UPS and tell them to just leave it at my freakin door or deliver it to my work. I get into arguments with the UPS store here, they're a bunch of jerks. Don't wanna help anyone out. So anyways, if you have any clue please inform me.
thanks.
Email cbid's customer service
done. thanks.Quote:

If UPS looses it, I will have a check in my hand in 2 days. If USPS looses it I can file for a claim no earlier than 21 days after the date of delivery and payment within 30 days. Also the filing for claims through USPS is much more difficult. So I might be inclined to ship Someone under $20 of merchandise, I wouldn't ship more.Quote:

So, I emailed cbid and requested another shipping method for future orders and they said they'd happily ship all further packages via USPS priority mail.
Works for me!
well, UPS tracking says it went out for delivery at 5:40am this morning. Means, i'll be calling them tonite to tell them to ship it up here. One more nite my cigars gotta sit out. :smiley6: Plus, I got that Ghurka sign i won on Cbid coming in tomorrow through UPS too! sigh.
You might as well have them deliver it to your work. Hell that's where your paycheck is going anyway. :smiley36:Quote:

That is funny. It probably boils down that fed ex isn't responsible for the shipments made by USPS. I think Fed ex did that when the internet cigarette business started booming. They don't want to be responsible for packages being delivered to minors. I think that's where it started, but I don't think it will end there. I think as more states in act laws that affect the shipping of tobacco products, the more restrictive all carriers will become. UPS is headed that way. :(Quote:

Then I just got off the phone with the lady at CigarBid and had her change my settings to only ship DHL. They leave it at my door and ship faster than UPS. Sounds like a winner to me. Today, I think I became a little more of a man. :smiley24:
