They said someone would call me, but instead a couple of hours later the status updated to arrived in Kent, WA. Today it departed Kent (an hour and 20 minutes before it arrived!) and shipping info has been sent to USPS. My delivery date is Thursday but I'm pretty sure it'll be out for delivery in the morning

Call FedEx and don't let them tell you to call the shipper or USPS!

Thanks, I'll do that. Good luck with your Bag of Coal! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Got my Bag of Coal today!! What a great display of randomness! I was pleasantly surprised with my 6.2 lb box!

2 x PGA hats
1 x PGA backpack
3 x Gold's Gym fitness totes
2 x red iphone 3G(S) fitted cases
1 x mini wedgits building blocks frog set
1 x nice white razer pro click mobile mouse (looks to be new and sealed!)

Thanks Woot!

My Woots showed up today and Im happy to say that it was way more fun sending to work to open.

10.4lb box

3x - X-Kites 50-inch Extreme Wing Nylon Glider that sell for $25-30
2 - umbrellas senz brand rated at up to 70 mpg wind 1 broken with a form for lifetime warranty and one that seems to be ok. Amazon had it listed for $25

1 - PGA back pack

Thanks again for the fun =)

2 - PGA Mcgladrey ball caps
1 - box of Golds Gym Fitness Totes
1 - Audio Recorder 2.0 (convert tapes & LP's) Why?
1 - Manipulator ("the manipulator can hold with a lot of things")

The bags may be useful. Thanks Woot!

Mine says it's out for delivery right now... sadly even if I get it today I promised the girl I'd wait till she's back this weekend to open it.

What was I thinking?

I really wish my tracking number would work!!!

I'm getting very anxious! ;-)

yeah you kind of put yourself in a whole with that promise. I say you open it up and then tape it back!

ichillax wrote:yeah you kind of put yourself in a whole with that promise. I say you open it up and then tape it back!

Or you could go to your airport and have the TSA scan it?

Just think you wouldn't even need to post what was in it, cause we would see it on the news.

I got the following reply from Customer Service this morning - both exciting and ominous at the same time. Now I get to be anxious all over again!

"We will send out the rest of your crap.

Tye"

My crap departed Kent, WA earlier today; it's a stone's throw away, but hasn't hit the post office yet for delivery.

Hoping it's out for delivery today with all of my might.

Finally got my first ever Bag of Coal, a 5.1 pounder, today!

2 x PGA hats
1 x PGA backpack
3 x Gold's Gym fitness totes
1 x Gilmour sprinkler (missing his buddy from the 2-pack)
1 x mini USB to USB adapter
2 x Sansa USB charger
1 x Sansa earbuds

and.....no Sansa! Woot gods, why tease me? But somehow you knew that I lost my camera's mini USB to USB adapter?

The anticipation alone was worth it, thanks Woot!

It was stuck in Denver Co for like 4 days and then today 1-3-11 it shows that it arrived at the FED EX Building a 30 min drive from my house.... however they have changed the date for it to get to me from 1-5-11 to 1-6-11... does it really take 3 days to process it and drive it to my house 30 minutes away?!?!?!

Ruby

Hey, that's identical to my story! Mine was supposed to arrive tomorrow, Jan 5, but it arrived in Salt Lake City on January 3, about 30 miles from my house. Last night they updated the delivery date to January 6.

Man, they are really killing me! I WANT MY 6.5 POUNDS OF WOOT CRAP AND I WANT IT NOW! LOL.

I just can't wait to get my PGA caps and bags! ;)

EDIT: WAHOO, my crap showed up early. And yes, I did get 2 PGA caps and a backpack (although it's really a shoulder pack, not a backpack).

Woot! Out for delivery. Now the race begins - who can get to it first, me or my husband. And I work further away. I think I feel a sickness coming on.. *cough* *cough*

woohoo650 wrote:Thanks, I'll do that. Good luck with your Bag of Coal! Fun! Fun! Fun!

I called Fedex to inquire about my package since no updates since it left Denver CO on 12/31. Rep said it's in transit and that there will be no more updates until it gets to my local post office. ETA is 1/6 but she said it may get to my local PO on 1/5. *fingers crossed*

I haven't even received mine yet, (the northwest seems to always be the last on the list), but I've had more than $8 worth of fun reading along, watching videos with all of you who live closer to Texas.

I think I'm anticipating Leo's stuff more than my own 6.1 lb box that's headed to my post office right now. The only thing that could disappoint me would be NOT getting a gold's gym bag, since my daughter actually needs one. Sometimes I have that kind of luck.

Thanks to all of you for posting and sharing your crap with the rest of us, I'm looking forward to pictures from Leo, who has already gone done in Woot lore.

Are you up in the Seattle area? If I get a Gold's Gym Bag and you don't, I'll gladly meet up with you to hand it over!

You should have seen the look on my wife's face when I suggested that I stay home from work to receive my Woot! Crap package when it gets delivered.

Sigh. I hope nothing in it will freeze while it sits on my porch waiting patiently for me to get home....

I'm up in Bellingham, I assume all the people who haven't received their bags yet all live up this way. Appreciate the offer, I have those ironic issues with things, where I'd be the only one to NOT get the gym bag that we need.

This is my 4th christmas crap, and 10th since and while all of them have been fun, I have never had any items with significant cash value, but the whole process is a lot of fun. I'm not expecting much this time either, but I'll be hammering away on the refresh button for the next one.

Got my box today. Tracking said it weighed 6.3lbs, but it feels more liek 2 or 3lbs. Anyway, here's what I got: 1 pga backpack, 2 pga hats, 1 box of 3 gold's gym totes, and 1 giant light blue snuggie. Sadly, no tech lights, no aqua globes, no t-shirts, no letters...all stuff I could've actually used. Oh well, I guess the snuggie is worth the $8 it cost me. Maybe next time. Thx for the fun anyway, Woot.

I got the same thing, hopefully I'll get the same answer you did

I am in michigan and am still waiting as well for it to get to my post office. It left the fedex location that is 35 mi south of me at 12:30am and i plan on calling my post office to see if i can pick it up when it arrives there. this will me my 4th Bag of Coal and most likely the crappiest

My crap arrived 2 days early! Last night, I jotted down what I predicted would be in my box, and I was exactly correct! I recieved:

PGA Backpack
3 pack of mini Aqua Globes
3 Gold's Gym Totes
4 Phillips Universal Remotes


Craptastic! Thanks a million Woot!

Not all Northwesterners. Add a Long Islander to the list who is still waiting patiently. A 6.1 pounder expected tomorrow. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

New to Woot ~ was on when Bag of Coal offered, but did not understand the concept. Have really enjoyed reading the commentary ~ I am anxiously awaiting Leo's update. 2 questions: 1. How long do you usually have to wait for the next Bag of Coal offer - a month? - 6 months? - a year? How do you know when the Bag of Coal is up? Is there some kind of secret message? 2. What the heck are the flying monkeys?

Add me from the Kansas City area! My tracking number doesn't even work... I wish I could at least see how much mine weighed or when it will get here. Supposedly I'm supposed to be able to see movement on mine by tomorrow or I'll let the Woot staff know so they can check into it.

My money is that it's the same as mine (see post above)

PGA Backpack
3 pack of mini Aqua Globes

Not even a 3rd item. Perhaps the 3 recyclable globes were counted as 2 items

I Guess 'Santa Woot' gave me coal - but shipping was less without it.

Bag of Coal fail. ohhh well

That's exactly what I got but I figured I'd email the wonderful Woot people and see what they had to say. (Thanks Woot for responding!!)

Here's What I wrote:

Oh humble gods of Woot,

I was sooooo excited as this was my first successful Bag of Coal snag after being a member for over 6 years of fruitless failings! Story of my life but that's for another email...

Ugh...Woot..I know I should be happy with any glorious crappeth received but am I missing something?

Today, 01/02/11, I picked up my box of crap from my apartment, 2.6lbs worth. This was the only package I had and the only tracking number I received.

Upon opening this is what was in the box:

-One (1) PGA backpack
-One (1) 3-pack of Aqua Globes in a single box

I know it's not right to be greedy, especially at Christmas time, but wasn't I supposed to at least receive three craps in my crappy box?

Does the 3-pack of aqua globes count as my third crap?? There were gaps in the shipping box...could something have slipped out?

Am I missing a crap or have I been a bad boy this year Woot?

Thanks for any crappy explanation that you can provide.

Crapfully yours,

Chris

Did anyone receive a box just 3.1 lbs? Mine is coming, and I see no one else with such a small box

1x PGA McGladrey sling bag

1x 3pk Mini Aquaglobes

1x 3 boxed Gold's Fitness fitness tote

1x 12 kraft-wrapped "Fact or Crap" quiz book

No letter or electronic gadgets. Decent "gift" haul though, so no complaints.

Two crappy pictures:


and a darker one for those that really care.:p

Thank you Woot! for a Crappy Christmas and dragging it into a Crappy New Year!

I got the exact same c r a p. When I saw your shipping weight, I knew exactly what I was getting. I never have gotten anything exciting. My turn will come some year.

6 lbs by the tracking system.

4x Phillips universal remotes
3x Gold's Gym totes
2x PGA hats
1x PGA backpack
1x Biking Viking 2x

Not too shabby!

I got an identical box.

Made my first Woot dress out of the Men 2X Shirt I got (I normally wear a woman small). That was exciting.

So I received my Bag of Coal. today and couldnt be happier. I had to help the mailman carry it to my house and my 16.8in x 16.8in x 16.8in box turned out to be as tall as me! What was inside you ask?
