I'll take UPS over the monopoly run USPS any day of the week. The USPS tried to deliver a package to my office on a Saturday and since we're closed on Saturdays, I had to go to the Post Office to pick it up! This was after they wouldn't deliver a different package to my office for some reason, then cigar.com sent it UPS (to the same address) and it arrived in 2 days, no problems.

Considering that UPS doesn't run on Saturdays or Sundays(or any carrier, save USPS), I'm not complaining about not having my diesels yet. You can't really count Thursday since they didn't pick up the package till evening. So it's only been three full days in their system and 3 days is not bad when they claim that it could take 7-10 business days for delivery on a basic package. Needless to say, I'm happy they sent'em UPS because I know I'll get them without having to go out of my way.

Wow, I almost sound like a UPS plant...maybe I could charge them for the ad!

Did anyone else's Diesels feel really hard? I was going to light one up and they both just seem too hard. no give at all when I squeeze. They aren't dry and crackling or anything and I know this is a new arrival. If you have lit one up are they good to go? I was gonna let them sit for a little bit in the humi. Really happy to have gotten 2 of these in my football package.

Just got finished with mine. Not super hard, but very firm. Delicious. I usually let things sit a while before I burn one, but with the sticks I have had the last couple days and everything I have heard about these. I was nt disappointed and can only expect them to get even better.

I have to say I like USPS. I have gotten my packages in four days or less. I'm not counting sundays because they don't work that day. The average is 3 days for USPS, and UPS a week

I also like USPS. I used to do a LOT of Ebaying and they are way cheaper to send internationally.

Just don't get the hooker online, they can track that shlt...

Get your hookers the old fashioned way, from your crack dealer

Who Farted?

So I just checked tracking on my Diesels.. FINALLY says "Out For Delivery" today... Geez... I hope they're not dry and dead when I get em - I've been pretty eager for these for days... And since I ordered these, I couldn't order the daily deal on Rocky '90s (all around fave stick), which was really disappointing...

There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless — boys and women — and I am neither one.

What I wonder is why USPS doesn't leave the box in my very large mail box.  They always set it in front of my front door.  I imagine they try to hand deliver it....but if no one is home, wouldn't you put it in the box?

Anyways, now I just have them shipped to my work.

 

 

Got my smokes finally, i think i might request usps shipping from now on.

Yeah, it would be nice if they could flag my account for US post only. Maybe I'll call and ask.
I got mine yesterday, and tried one right out of the box. It was fine, but 7 days is still too long. Good cigar though, going to cost me more money...

Yep, finally got mine in today as well. They either over filled the humipack or it exploded or something. I'm glad the 5ers were wrapped up in little mazos, because they would have been ruined otherwise. UPS FAIL :(

Same for me, USPS 3 days tops. UPS, 7-10 days. I just got my Diesel's in today, MOW weekend blitz coming in tomorrow, which puts them at 7 days. Hope everything is ok...
