they jacked up my most recent groupon order for padron londres.. they waited 36 hours to process.. and when they did, they were sold out..
they offered for me to change my order at the time.. I asked them when they estimated getting the londres back in stock.. and they told me they receive new shipments every week... so I told them I would stick with the original order and wait.. no big deal...
that was 3 weeks ago.. and I hadnt heard a peep out of them since..
so I called today... surprise surprise.. no londres in stock yet.. but.. if I'd be willing to wait another week.. they might have them in...
no thanks.. changed the order to delicias.. and coughed up the additional $20..
not really a big deal.. I still ended up with a $120 box of cigars for $70 ($50 for the groupon, plus the additional $20 I had to throw in today).. shipped to my door.. Im still happy with the end result..
but... they should really re-think their customer service practices...
I've bought from them several times at this point either with groupon or livingsocial deals.. and will continue to do so.. I always end up with good cigars at great prices that way... but.. I will never use them as a primary online source for purchases or ever pay them full retail.. there are far better options out there (Emersons, Famous, etc..) if I want something specific, and am willing to pay the non groupon price..
