Post by: StogieDad on 01/28/2020 08:59 AM
While it is working, if you are ordering multiple boxes, you may want to split them into separate orders.  You will pay $8 extra to ship each but you get the 4 pack of Padron on each order, so you basically get a 4 pack of Padron 1926 for $8 which just one is worth well more than that and free shipping.

Now you tell me. Lol too late.  I did go back for a box of Ancho Largo Mi Querida and the 1926 padrons for $76 shipped. Man.... Just too good to pass up. My average daily cigar is gonna be good for a while

Yeah I have like 4 orders so far.... have boveda bags, a single of cinco decadas, an ashton sampler, and the tat belicoso sampler. Eyeing their wineador, gatekeepers, and desert rose... Also, if you add the gurkha xo 5 pack that has free shipping it saves you like $3 over the $8 shipping

From recent orders I've seen on another cigar forum, 50 is reset to 30, but stacking is being allowed which I believe still needs to be corrected.

My order hasn't shipped. I order early and not getting a shipping notice is fairly typical. I think I'm on their naughty list. For what I bought, I really don't care. I didn't know about the padrons or the second code. Padrons are either too good for me I'm too good for them. I got a 1964 sampler from Famous for free some years ago and smoked another one from a trade. I traded the Padrons for a Cuban sampler. I bought 2 bundles of MFO toro oscuro and have plenty of them already. I paid $20 a bundle for this order and like them.

One of my pet peeves with JR is lack of integration between web and phone business and web sales and auction. Inventory count and order status is more accurate  with the phone system. An order can be filled and sometimes scanned and it doesn't show up when doing online order inquiry. When I call, after waiting some time for a response I get the status well before the web is updated. On this order I don't care so, I'll just wait. I buy a lot of cigars from JR because of great deals and great deals caused by mistakes.

Got my first two and only one included the Padron sampler.  Sat on hold for 45 minutes to see if it was a mistake or they are only honoring one, cant get through.  Even if I only got one I'd let it go as the percentage deal was still huge.  

But it was their system that allowed it, we weren't out of line.  Especially considering the bubble code was for the Padron sampler, which wasn't why discounts were miscalculating.  Still got some screaming deals even if they only allow one.  That is still $90 worth of Padron's I didn't pay for.

Before anyone spends a lot of time on the phone with JR about this:  There is no law that states that a retailer must honor a discount or freebie when the customer is trying to game the system because of a price mistake or computer glitch. And anyone here that placed more than a single order was trying to game the system (myself included).   ;-)

I received my big order today (3 boxes) at a VERY good price, plus the Padrons, plus some random 8 pack that only has a few in it that I will smoke. (The rest go in the moochidor!)  So I'm happy even if the 2 follow up small orders I placed fall through.

Exactly.  They still honored the price glitch and didn't cancel any orders, so that in itself is pretty smooth.  I would not have been surprised to see a bunch of cancelled orders.

Sorting it all out. Sending back Gurkha samplers. They send out return labels. I'm keeping 4 other packages except they sent a box of 10 illusione instead of the 25 Anejos but that mistake is being corrected. And yes, I am keeping the 1pk Padrons.

Wow, I'm sorry but this really rubs me the wrong way and I have to say this.
You ordered the Gurkha samplers knowing what you were getting correct??
They sent you a bonus for your order correct?
You are returning them because of what? Was there something wrong with them??
Please correct me if I am wrong on this but this seems pretty shady in my opinion.
Truthfully If I am missing something please let me know.   :confused:

Looks like your using that hard on to f#(k JR over in my opinion after they apparently honored the deals.  :nono:

Well, I think he is saying he only got one Padron 4 pack, so he would have gotten that with any order placed.  They didn't give one with every order, which I think we all agreed wasn't that big a deal since we were trying to use a glitch anyway.

Now I did one of the Gurkha packs as well, so I paid $11 for 5 Gurkhas I won't smoke and didn't get an extra Padron 4 pack.  I am going to eat the $11 and keep everything because I knew what risk I was taking and I was willing to gamble.  Lost on that one but still got some great deals overall.  I got one Padron pack it looks like on 5 total orders, but the other 4 orders were still amazing deals and got a legit $90 bonus of Padrons.  Can't argue about that.

He ordered them that way but I don't think they honored but one 4 pack per person, no matter your amount of orders.  My first two orders got here and I only had one.  Again, no big deal, but I don't think Pete is tying to keep $1000 worth of Padrons and return everything else.
Title: RE: JR Alert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the record, $668 worth of cigars purchased and $55 worth sent back (5xGurkha Sampler). Received 1pk of Padrons so far. More orders still to be delivered.

Were the Padrons listed on your order before you finalized it? You needed to use the "bubble" coupon code.  If so, then contact them.  You bought a box and didn't try multiple orders to take advantage of them.  They ought to honor it.

On the order, it looked like this:

No.1 Maduro Padron 1926 Series

Yes it was listed on my order online but not on the packing slip invoice...so I just wanted to make sure I get them, told her I didn't mind waiting if they were "back ordered" ...stoaked though man just loaded them up in the humidor :smoker: can't wait to get down on them in a few weeks.

Not to beat a dead horse here but if you indeed are "Very satisfied here with a bunch of good cigars and a great bonus pack of Padrons to boot"  then why are you returning items ? I'm just curious as to what would have happened if you were not satisfied with your order.
Just my guess is the only reason you ordered the items you plan to return was you thought you would get Free Padrons with every order and when your plan didn't work and you didn't get as good a deal as you thought you decided to return them, completely wrong in my opinion. Just judging your character a bit here is all, if you would have gotten the Padrons with all orders would the returns still be happening?

Well, it was clearly a mistake on their part allowing the double stack of the codes, so I'm surprised they didn't shake their heads on all of them.  At any rate, I don't mind Gurkhas as much as some do, so these will get smoked in due course.   :smoker2:

I placed 2 orders, the Padron 4 pack was in one of them. When i called and spoke to customer service, they explained that promotions are "while supplies last". I informed them that they needed to work on their software, so that what is in your cart at checkout is actually accurate. They don't give a $hit, IMO.

I did 5 total orders and got the one sampler.  It wasn't with the first or either of the two biggest orders, which was a bit odd so I assume they caught anyone making more than one order and gave them the one they would have gotten if they had combined all.  Which I still would have ordered most of what I ordered just for the price, so still good.

I only did one Gurkha order just to try and get the Padron's and didn't.  All other 4 were at least a box.

I placed three orders all for a box or more, the price was too good to pass up, I did get two samplers and that was one more than i expected.  You might want to try to get your one.  I am not gonna rock the boat for my orders.  I am perfectly happy, well, I wished i would have ordered a second box of the mi querida sticks vs the ajf enclave broadleaf sticks...(mostly because the mi querida sticks dont come up on that kind of sale often... less than $4 a stick!)

So just a quick update on this...I've been back n forth with customer service and in emails. Bottom line is they will not honor my order, as they said it was a "promotional" item and they would not be receiving anymore "promotional" items from the manufacturer. Without going into to much more detail in the emails the bottom line is sounds like it was totally hit and miss on what orders got it, when etc. So congrats if you were able to score 1-2-3 of them even, that was a decent sale and the Padron put it over the top, I'm disappointed I didn't receive them but I knew the risk and I took the chance. He offered me a refund but I have already opened the box that I purchased so that's not an option now either, oh well win some lose some. Probably would've sent the box back if I wasn't going to get the bonus as it was a good deal not a great deal, so again if you were able to score the Padrons and get the code to double stacks congrats!! I won't be so inclined next time to "jump" right in if it's a JR"s deal. Again not that it was bad, just could have been handled a lot better imo. Again not bashing JR"s or anyone who got the deal, this was just my own personal experience I know everyone's is different.

JR and Serious do this from time to time.  They screw up the coupon system, hundreds of BOTLs jump in and score huge, and the last 50 that try to squeeze in before it gets shut down kind of get screwed over.

I got no problems with the coupons of course, my issue is if they run a deal they should honor it or update their software that tracks how many are left, it processed my coupon and charged my credit card to me that's binding. They offered me a refund but I had already broken up the box I had purchased. I wasn"t rude at all but said I'd be happy with some sort of substitute as this wasn't my fault. Again they didn't budge, I will take my business elsewhere, the double stack code was great but their customer service sucks a$$...they must do enough business to not care and that's fine with me. I've really only purchased from Small Batch pretty much, they don't flood my email with s**tty cigars I don't want to smoke and I've never had an issue with them, when I did they corrected it and made it right, that's all I was asking from JR"s, nothing more nothing less. All good tho man, not a big deal, again they lost a customer n that's fine.

You're not wrong at all.  100% agree on SBC.

I guess I've dealt with more of their pricing mistakes, where if it works you score, and if not, you send it back.  One site had Davidoff Primeros listed $35 for 5 boxes.  Ordered it, received one box, called to see if I could get the rest, couldn't, returned.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

But you're right that, with a coupon, they should be able to stand by their offer.  If they can't manage their inventory and webstore so that you aren't selling stock they don't have, and don't cancel accidentally accepted orders, and just sub with other product, they suck.
