Shipping Story

Cigar.com does a fantastic job of getting orders out the door, but sometimes the USPS decides to take my order on an adventure.

I recently place a small order of a Romeo Y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua 5 pack (I think it was a Daily Cigar Deal). They shipped on 2/27 with the ultimate destination of Indianapolis. On 3/5, they showed up in Denver. I am not sure why they went to Denver, or why it took a week to get there, but that is where they first showed up on the USPS tracking site.

A day later, they made appearances in Omaha, NE and then Des Moines, IA. By 3/7, they had made it all the way to Milan, IL, so I am thinking they are getting close. Nope.

Later on 3/7, they popped up in Cincinnati, so they rode through Indiana on their way to Ohio. They left Cincy at 8:50 AM on 3/8, and then showed up in Columbus, OH, even further from Indianapolis than they started the day.

As of 7:10 PM on 3/9, they have left Columbus and are heading to parts unknown.

If I think about it and have the energy, I'll update this post when they finally get here.

    I think it’s that area. FN black hole. My cigar orders that are shipped from other state get here generally early. But anything grime cigars to books coming from PA takes 2-4 weeks

    Should we start a betting pool as to when he will get his smokes? LOL

    Should we start a pool for when he'll start his third thread, or his first comment?

    Thanks. If the worst I get is somebody yanking my chain on a cigar chat board, it's been a good day.

    If my LSU Tigers advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament and face Wisconsin, maybe Pete and I can get a side bet going?

    Thank you for the update Peter. I think most of us were very concerned. Everyone will sleep a little better tonight.

    @GeauxTigers I think we all have had the ups and downs of shipping problems from USPS to UPS delivering in BFE instead of to the address. Welcome to the forum, glad your cigars got to u.

    I was born a fool, and just got bigger!

    Alas, my friend, I feel your pain. You have taught me that unfortunately, this is not a unique situation. Godspeed to your package.
