Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

Holy crap, Woot, those are some sweet new digs!

Are you naming anything after Wonderstew? Like a water fountain or something?

Ahh,
The old Gadzooks HeadQuarters,
Well Done My Friend,
Little do you know of the atrocities that have taken place in the shipping and receiving wing,
Hundreds of Vietnamese workers, Furiously eating ramen,
Ohhh,
THE ODDLES and OODDLLES OF NOODLES!!!!!!

Some say the ghosts of those noddles haunt that building to this day.

Sheesh, looks 'spensive. We gonna start a pool as to when shipping costs go up?

MIA: Roomba(s) cleaning the warehouse floor....

i, for one, wouldn't mind if shipping gets doubled if it were for a good cause like a pet giraffe in the lobby

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Nice Digs!

Did it come with new servers?

Oooo...you should sell some of the woot packing tape as a woot one day....

Hey! In the second to last picture it looks like some bozos are putting crap all over the corporate artwork! Better send out a memo.

Where will my product be delicately placed into an oversized shipping box with no packing material whatsoever? ;)

amazing what all that Bandolier of Carrots money can buy!

The velodrome would hold a s-load of LeakFrogs

It sure would be nice if there was a "Wall of the Black Square". Once you make it to Black Square, your userID goes up on a little plaque- since we helped build the place and all...

You guys need to tear down all that nasty flow rack and conveyor and install this:

What better way to ship roombas and RoboSapiens than from jumbo-sized shelving-carrying robots?

I second this request. It would even be a selling feature... "This Roomba was tested on the woot warehouse floor..."

The new building even looks good from above:



(I waved as I flew over ... )

Pretty awesome. Especially the aerial pic shows how massive it really is.

One of things that would be interesting to see though, is a picture of the server farm smoking when a Bandolier of Carrots comes up. :D

Thanks, when my wife asks where all my money has gone, now I can @least show her pics. Like those Rawandan children you can support for a dollar a day...

only more expensive.

O, and you need a big neon art sign of gramma exploding off into space. like old times

Very nice my friends. It looks like your doing well for yourselves

Fancy Digs...

Mark my words that this may be the beginning of the end for Woot. The company came out with a new concept, made a boat load of money, and then bought a fancy headquarters they can brag about.

Meanwhile, users are getting bored with Woot products, and a dozen other companies have copied their deal-a-day concept (see http://www.zerodaydeals.com/ for a list of them).

I like woot, and have bought a few items along the way. In my business, howver, I see this story all too often. A startup company gets overly optimistic following a successful launch and bloats up beyond recognition.

No sour grapes here- I hope you guys keep growing like crazy, take the company public and retire as billionaires.

No refurb (rox0rz!)?

Congratulations on #100 stupid.

Woot after several more expansions. ;)

Be careful with that. With my luck they'd name the toilet that clogs up after me.

How many sq feet?? It looks like a 50,000 or 100,000sq ft ?

My brother in law sold you guys box folding machines. Box folding machines? I thought he was talking about Mexicans!

Jim, bro-in-law of Dana-the-box-folding-machine-saleman.

I was about to post...

You know what else are in warehouses? Warewolves.

But then I thought better.

The new digs look good... congrats on the move. Now if I can just win a Bandolier of Carrots one of these days both of our lives will be complete.

My company calls those "box erectors". :-)

Now I've seen almost every part of the building...
But where is the Locker room?

What's the address?

Awesome tour! I do think it's missing a giraffe or two, though.

Is there a method to the multicolour tape madness? Does red tape on your order mean you're a better person than blue?

I demand a toilets-to-urinals ratio.

Snapster wrote:there are actually 3 lockerrooms, lockerroom (well two of them hardly count)... we'll have to do a more robust tour next time.

Ummm, do we want to know why?

Executive dining room? Cafeteria? Lunch room? Vending machine?
