I have used ziggymart for a number of orders and always received them, some took longer than others to arrive. On 23 october 07 I placed an order for cigars, this was debited to my credit card on the 25th October and as of June 08 I am still waiting. I have sent numerous e-mails and have had three replies from John Petrie, the first in late November to say that they had received a delivery and my order would be filled in a few days, nothing. In december I sent more emails and was advised that they had just sent out over 700 packages and I should receive mine soon, again nothing, I then sent another e-mail and was assured by John that he would personally look into it, your right nothing!!.

In January I received a mail shot to advise that they had now received major funding and that they had just sent out over one thousand back orders dating back to November 07 and that all international orders would be delivered within two weeks, nothing.

Since then I have sent 13 e-mails to John Petrie/ziggymart and no one has had the decency to respond.

I made two orders in January /08.
I contacted Ziggymart twice by phone and was given and received assurances that my orders would be received. Then Ziggymart stopped answering and I emailed numerous times; never getting an answer. I was ripped of for 2 orders.

William Marleau,

We have always sent your orders on time, and I admit there has recently been some delays, but posting on a complaint board? Now really. How much business have we done over the years? How many packages have we sent you? Why, all of a sudden do you think we have turned dishonest?????? You know that we get swamped with international orders because of the nature of our business. Sometimes products are backordered, and you have known that all along doing business with us. We have posted on our website that our customer service is limited right now due to the extremely high volume, but you still call us...all the time. I have no problem resolving your issues, but not through a complaint board.
Do you have any idea what its like having your phone ring day and night? The fact of the matter is, speaking with each and every customer eats up all of the precious time that is needed to fill orders and I don't have a staff of 100 people to handle such calls. If I had a nickel for every tobacco customer who called us with nicotine withdrawals wanting their tobacco product sent Next Day Air, I would be a very wealthy man.
William, to the best of my knowledge, all of your product has been sent. If there is a remaining backorder, I will check into it. Bear in mind that it is beyond my control if Canadian Customs has delayed or seized your goods and you have acknowledged that risk when placing an order via our online shopping cart. Please read our Terms and Conditions. I am surprized you haven't already -considering you have purchased tobacco products from us, probably going on 5 years.

I have had similar dealings with Ziggymart - no merchandise then lame emails about backorders (as if customers are repsonsible for their poor inventory control). Two months are still nothing. Time to call VISA and the consumer frauds office. Stay away from this outfit!

Email from John Petrie but not posted here:
The reason your McClintock order remained on backorder was because you ordered the tin and the McClintock tins were discontinued. Some time later, they came back out with the bags. They also restricted the sale to Massachusetts (where our business is based-Because the new packaging was not yet approved by the State Atty.General). Funny, but your order #7746 in our system says "completed" which means we eventually shipped the goods. If you are here complaining on a complaint board and warning others about us because you didn't receive the goods, then why didn't you contact us directly by phone or email? As an act of good faith I am sending a full pound bag of McClintock FF (more than the original 13 oz. tin you ordered) I certainly hope you receive it this time. If the U.S. Postal Service doesn't deliver the goods as we have paid them to do, then it would be nice if our customers contacted us directly instead of whining on these complaint boards. We are here to answer and investigate all claims of non-receipt. If we were a dishonest company, don't you think we would be in hiding somewhere by now? We are licensed tobacco importers/exporters with the Dept. of the U.S. Treasury, listed in Dun & Bradstreet, in business since 1993. We aren't going anywhere. John B. Petrie

My reply for all:

This bozo just does not get it.
Why are you advertising merchandise you do NOT have in the first place?
Why are you removing funds from people accounts on the above on this merchandise you do NOT possess?

Yes, the order was UTIMATELY received, but only four or five days after my initial posting here. Anyone sense a connection? As for pouch vs. can, I have been getting pouches for MONTHS from other vendors (the bullshit detector just went off the scale).

Why did I not email you? I DID! and got a rude response about reading your "terms of service" and basically said you would send it when you had a damned good mind to do so. Hence my initial posting here.

I STRONGLY suspect this character is cash-strapped and using current orders to finance his inventory (used to be call kiting). I also suspect he is a lot closer to "going away" then he lets on.

Just give this place a WIDE BERTH.

PS- You may not be going anywhere, but hopefully other potential customers will and go somewhere else. Shortly after - you WILL go away!
