My poor little 1.7lbs of 8.14 in. x 8.14 in. x 8.14 in. sized box of (most likely) dvds have finally left the cowboy state of Texas for the congested state of CA. Now if it could just hop and skip past Oregon to Seattle i could finally go down the street and throw those AWESOME dvds everyone is parading about into lake Washington. OR! i was the only one to get a little box of gold.
i only have another week to wait.
i still love ya woot.

Nice haul thanks WOOT!

4 Mets Calendars
1 Hannah Montana tin bag
1 ezy flare
1 new in box Voyager Bluetooth headset
1 used pair of SANSA headphones
AND BEST OF ALL
2 sets of WOOT LIGHTS!

Well now we know where that guy's missing Woot lights went...

What Woot has given us for 5 years is the sense of wonder you got every Xmas eve when you were a kid. All of us big kids, sitting at our computers bleary eyed hitting F5 at 11:59pm. Knowing it will be scaffolding we don't need but we have to find out anyway.

The baby of the cosmos is simply a sensory overload for us. We spent $8 bucks that our wives or girlfriends are saying we threw away for nothing and we get to sit around for days hitting F5 to see what everyone else got. Then we get a box with 3 dvd's and a set of woot lights and we are disappointed until the next 11:59pm rolls around.

This is why I love Woot, don't let the door hit you in your baby of the cosmos on the way out.

This post is full of win.

I'd rather the cheap screwdriver set over all that, but nice haul! My sympathies on the team selection for the writable calendars.

Is there a TX Mardis Gras goin on or did the gov't take over Fed Ex in the bail out?

to those who think one of their woot-off lights does not work.

I plugged mine in and 1 came on and I thought the 2nd was broken...until I saw the little on-of slide switch at the base. felt pretty dumb since I didn't see the switch until after I had already taken mine apart to look at the soldering.

Thats exactly what mine says. Hasn't changed status in a couple days. I'm in missouri so i figured it would be here by now.

ah!!! My box is here, three blocks away at the post office. But it's still scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Grrrrrrr!

My Big Orange Cuttlefish is 10.9 lb, 18.3 in. x 12.6 in. x 12.5 in., and is on its way to Chicago from New Berlin, Wisconsin...

Personally I'm hoping for a blender! Or a food processor. I could use either one...to blend my Woot-Off Lights, of course.

2.4lbs of creamy goodness sitting in WV. Oh the waiting game, may the postal delivery overseers see fit to smile on my package.

25.8 in. x 9.98 in. x 7.58 in.

I was hoping for 52 in x 40 in x 12 in or so, for my new LCD TV.

Weight still says 0.4lb

Sounds like a pink T-Ball bat to me!

I still don't know what my dimensions are. I've already done the whole My FedEx thing. Any suggestions?

Some people need to re-read the Holy scaffolding commandments.. (or read them in general)..


I personally want one of those bad ass hard drives, (preferable a 320 or 250, but anything is cool.) my package made it to WV today, so it will probably be here around thursday or friday..

6.7 lbs of crappy goodness, I can't wait for it!

Just checked MyFedEx and my Boggy Old Creature is now in Martinsburg, WV on its way to New York City.

Strangely, the box previously registered as being 9 in x 9 in x 9 in. Now, its 12.3 in. x 9.6 in. x 5.3 in.

Hopefully it didn't get near the wrong end of a steamroller in Arkansas....

/loving the stuff people are getting...
//can't believe the entertainment I'm getting for $8
///yeah, I need to get out more....

my 20 pounder comes on the 24th it's killing me.

Mine is due on the 24th BUT only weighs .4 lbs...so i guess i may actually just get the lights with some Texas air. Oh well such is life. At least i am finally in the home stretch with Uniden on the phone system i purchase back on May 8th that still has not been working and i have spent far too much time on the phone with Uniden trying to get it straightened out.

I'm in NYC as well! (Queens)

I need to get out more as well, I tracked down the Fedex Office in Martinsburg, and found out that it is roughly 4 hours and 30 minutes away from my actual house (259.8 miles)...

So Being optimistic, there is a very slim chance that the Bay Ocean Chipmunk will arrive at my house on Wednesday, though i'm expecting it thursday and probably friday.


Edit: Also!

My box had also changed in dimension...

It was 13.1 cubed, and is now

14.4x 10.4 x 9 ... and Grew by .1 lb...

Go to the "new" my fedex. Then put in your tacking number.

Where did you find information about the package size?

I think this should be like stapled on the main page or something. This is beautiful.

Is it just me or am I the only one who's read just about all 168 pages of this discussion?

It's funny how repetitive some of the post are.

I'm a 1 and just curious if anyone else has a very light weight. Maybe they are shipping seperate or something, but haven't gotten anything from Woot to indicate a 2nd package.

Service type Home Delivery
Weight 0.4 lbs/0.2 kg

Did you check in the bags. I seem to remember a Boggy Old Creature back in the day where they ran out of actual bags and stuck in brown paper flavor, but they had a really nice coupon in them.

I can't believe I keep reading all these posts. What is really funny is that people keep saying the same things over and over again.

Nope, I'm refreshing this page every few hours to read all the new posts and tremble in anticipation of my own scaffolding. I hope it's as crappy as some of the others ones people have gotten! Some of them are pretty jealousy-inspiring.

See... I said almost exactly the same thing a couple post ago. :-\

Wasn't able to get home today but had my Dad run by my apartment, no package at the front office and no package at my door step. My package is 16.5 x 16.5 x 16.5 and is 20.6 lbs. Is there a chance that they put it in one of the lock boxes? I figured that was too large to fit in a lock box.

Oh and is showing "delivered" in fedex.

chevyscrounger wrote:See... I said almost exactly the same thing a couple post ago. :-\

I hadn't noticed. :^)

I'm a "1" and mine is due to arrive tomorrow, although it's been in Grove City OH since Friday.

Dimensions are 22.99 X 13.39 X 10.04, but weight is only .4 lb.

Sounds like I'm only getting the lights and maybe some calendars.

Didn't know there was a 'new' fedex thing. Thanks!

I'm with you. I've received my package today and was one of the crappiest c-r+a=p;s of all.

But it was, is and will be fun reading all these posts.

timdthomas wrote:I can't believe I keep reading all these posts. What is really funny is that people keep saying the same things over and over again.

Wow mine sounds eerily similar 14.3 in. x 10.4 in. x 8.7 in. 3.1 pounds. Due in tomorrow. Bring on the carp.

caseycho wrote:I think mine's the crappiest of all.

I got:

1 High School Musical Lunch Box (No Value)
1 Black & Decker Power Inverter ($7 on eGay)
2 MLB Dry Erase Calendar ($1 @Dollar Store)

&

1 Woot Off Lights (which I ordered)

Here's my package info & pic:

2.7lbs (2.9 lbs Actual)
14.1 x 10.4 x 8.62 (14 x 10 x 8.5 Actual)

So the weight and the dimensions almost matched.

Hey, that inverter is awesome. Takes up almost no space in the car, and doesn't send whiny interference to my stereo when I plug in my laptop. Plus, the usb cable simultaneously charges my Slacker Radio.
