Just another Pat on the Back to the Cigar.Com Customer Service once again above and beyond anywhere i have ever dealt with. Had an Issue with a recent order coming to me with the Humi pack way over filled and it soaked several of the new Diesel Unlimiteds they are drying out hopefully they will smoke fine .. But Tim checked into it and sent me replacements and I didnt ask for any just gave him the heads up about the Humi Pillow........ WHAT A GUY!
ALL HAIL THE BEARD!

    The Beard is ever so generous! Reminds me of when my order got accidentally sent to Stephen Hannibal as I had bombed him from CCOM on my last order before that. All I did was email Tim to get my shipping addy changed back and he sent me the full order after! Even after I said it was no biggie about the smokes and that I was happy that if I didn't get them that a very deserving BORK got them!

    Yeah well CCOM Ships pretty quick if you order the first of the week and when the weather isnt 100 degrees here a humi pillow really isnt too bicg of a deal but this pillow was like the size of a golf ball..... Crazy! Not sure what happened.

    I agree that Tim is tremendous. He's thrown in extra's whenever I've ordered with him, and he's always willing to give a great deal on an item.

    Having said that, and I'm not saying this to be a douche, but the situation above is just Customer Service 101. If a customer writes to you and says that the cigars were soaked in transit, of course you'll send new cigars and make it right. Cigar.com is a step above the other cigar sites with customer service - and I know that with over a decade of online cigar purchases under my belt - but almost every other site would've replaced the cigars in this case.

    Honestly, this is the first time I can recall making any comment about customer service 101. I just took a quick peek at my posts dating back to June and didn't see anything even close. But if I ordered cigars and they came "soaked" due to overfilled humipacks, I'd consider that major enough to want a replacement, and I'd think that most vendors would comply. That's all I'm saying, and I don't consider it to be harsh. It's not like I'm criticizing Tim, or anyone at CCOM, because they handled it the way it should have been handled.

    As I said, I agree that Tim is great. I've placed more orders since joining the boards and dealing with Tim than I placed beforehand. These days they get about 90% of my business!

    Incredible, isn't it? My August COTM was a week late, I E-mailed and Krebsie sent out a new box. A week later, the original showed up. I called asking for a return label, "keep it, enjoy your smokes". That's customer service! I love these guys. (guys: gender inclusive, for the pc among us)

    NO Chit.. CCOM is Definatly A Cut above the Rest...

    I think it's the trust part... Most places would ask for the damaged item back first, or wwould want proof of some sort... That's why ccom rocks!

    good customer service in theory is one thing, but how many places actually put it into practice?
    ccom is one of the only places ive come across.
    and in my opinion they go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to looking after the forum members

    Lets put it this way. I called Tim over a year ago to see if he could price match something I saw at another place. Not only did he price match is, he gave it to me cheaper and shipped free! Now, I don't mean I only called him once, but this particular occasion was over a year ago. Maybe close to two years.
