Went online today and they are gone.

I would hazard to say that a couple of those 70+ (ie, every last one) spent some money in their lounge. That's not a put down, just some reality.I can understand high shipping costs being an issue. I would say of you have an issue, then contact them about it. Maybe that will help bring the cost down, or even sway them to rethink their shipping method.
I passed this link on to them, just so they are aware of it.
I would also say, keep in mind they are a BOTL sponsor. And for what it is worth, they also hosted the BOTL Herf just this past Saturday...opening their private lounge to 70+ BOTL. I know that has nothing to do with shipping costs, but they really were impressed with our group.
I would hope that any issues, with any of BOTL's sponsors are handled with direct communication.
Just my opinion.
Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor TJI think the coupon code is http://www.federalcigar.com/
I keep trying, but it follows me everywhere I go!Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor TJ
Exactly! If it were a box, it would still be quite high, but somewhat understandable. The sites I buy singles and fivers for the most part from offer free shipping, or charge just a couple of dollars. (Rarely do I pay shipping on fivers and singles.)Thanks guys for all the info and feedback ... I created a WTB thread for some UF4's and I got a couple different brothers able to hook up a few of em' so I think I'm good at the moment on these sticks.
They do seem like a great place and the guy I finally talked with seemed real nice but if anyone happens to know anyone who runs the place or works their personally they may need to evaluate their shipping charges and maybe open it up to something other than UPS ground cause its slow as snails and costs a lot. I'm sure we dont mine 13-15+ bucks on big box purchases etc. .... but to buy a 5er of smokes and pay $13 will I think deter tons of buyers and they may be actually 'losing' because of this.
Just my 2 cents ... but thanks again for the info and feedback .... I Love This Place!!!!
Good to know!Just a suggestion. If you order from a store that only ships UPS and you have an office or a place of business you can have it sent to, it will be about half the price. UPS charges much more for residential delivery (which is horse shit) Just my .02¢

Have you tried calling them? I would suggest you do this before assuming/posting anything ill content about a BOTL sponsor. Just my 2 cents!I prefer to use USPS as well but ended up ordering from TopQualityCigars anyways last Tuesday, I got a call Wed saying my order was shipping out that day, got a shipping confirmation early Thurs and as of today it still just says shipping label created and has not been dropped off or picked up by UPS yet so maybe in the next 2 weeks I might have what I ordered. So what some others have said I think the best bet is shopping elsewhere!
I feel your pain.. maybe not quite as much since I didn't place a order.. but I'm rather disappointed I called literally 3 days at regular hourly intervals and submitted a contact us form I believe twice with no answer. Lol I don't think I've ever tried so hard to give someone my money and failed at it..Yes I have tried calling no answer...I wouldn't exactly call it ill if it is a true experience, even if they are a BOTL sponsor that and $1 won't get you a cup of coffee at starbucks and with inflation 2 cents will not either! I love how you cannot mention a botl sponsor on here if it isn't positive or all the old guys and donors come out of the wood-work bashing people to protect the beloved sponsor, yes I am new to this forum and I enjoy the wealth of information and yes I do call a store and figure things out before posting a negative review if they are a BOTL sponsor or not has absolutely no influence on experience of customer service. If the baby is ugly, damnit I will call the baby ugly!
