And, my order of Blackpool is: Canceled. Sorry, RD (Josh), I was going to help you reload on your Christmas Blackpool! Terrible. What a frickin' debacle. |

Just to add to this thread. I ordered an 8oz bag of Margate, and a 2oz tin of And So To Bed. Also ordered a tin of Margate and one of Dunbar. ALL IN STOCK.
Got the shipping notice on the Margate and Dunbar. Here's what I got re: Margate bag and And So to Bed....
Thank you for ordering with us! We are very sorry for any confusion we caused in the processing of your orders. Regrettably, our Fulfillment Center experienced an inventory discrepancy while preparing your items for shipment. This can be caused because of a miscount, or the item was in unsellable condition.
As you are likely aware, Esoterica blends are available very rarely and we are unable to leave them on backorder. Your orders will be canceled. No refund is necessary as we do not charge for items until they ship.
Again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience. If you have further questions, please let us know. We’re happy to help!
Thanks,
Sounds like bullshit to me..........

Inventory Discrepancy indeed! One has to wonder if the entire false promotion was just to generate site traffic.

Can we all agree, "Esoterica was NOT at P&C"?

Grandma Briarbuck always said if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything.
So....I won't.

I would guess the cure for everyone's worry is: * Don't shop at P&C now or in the future due to potential fraudulent advertising claims. * Don't post any further "email deals" on the forum. Just sayin...  |

How do you experience an inventory discrepancy while "preparing an item for shipment"? Did the bags of tobacco jump up and run away? |

Just sayin... There are plenty of folks who have been 100% happy with P&C and have had no problems after years of ordering from them. I'm not one of them. But there are enough of those satisfied customers to make the post alerts about P&C promos useful. People should keep posting them. Let each person decide for themselves if they want to buy or not. |

I'm sure you're right, and we'll see further "email postings" of specials. I'm just a person who doesn't like to take a chance on a $175 order, only to have it show up looking like a Hohner Accordion, and to have to go through the return process. I'm sure there's a number of happy camper P&C customers to keep em in business though... |

We all have our opinions and just because I might have had bad experience with P&C doesn't mean others have had trouble.
If it works for you, go for it.
I know what works for me. Do what works for you.

For me it's a crap shoot.
With little expectation, there is little disappointment.
