No. Packing material does not count as any of the items.

GuardianBob wrote:Hardly, the statement as written is:
Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items.
This is clearly meant as an exact limit. If Woot doesn't meet your expectations, you can always talk with them, but if they don't exceed your expectations, you're SOL.

Exactly.

Look, you all bought "Bags of Crap". I'm sure you would all cry if you received a box with three pieces of crap(literally) in it .

The whole point is that you are purchasing a grab bag for $8.00 including shipping. They will put in said box what ever they want. You're going to get your grab bag, and be happy. If you feel the need to complain because you only got 2 crappy items and not three, then don't buy another "Book of Carp". If you don't like what you got (or how much you got), you only have yourself to blame since are you were the one that purchased the grab bag in the first place. It's that simple.

To simplify. You pay $8 for them to send you what ever the hell they want, and you're going to like it. Whether you like it or not.

Why take the fun out of it?

It's your right to feel that way and honestly, if I got two I likely wouldn't make a fuss. The point is, we are killing time obsessing over the rules and the meaning of said rules. I think its fun, other people might hate it. It likely not in woots best interest to clear up the issue. So the breaking down of the rules and the language will go on.

i'd rather read about people kicking puppies than read more on this is what woot means no this is what they mean. who cares? no one is going to change anyones mind about what 3 and a bag does or doesnt mean.

I LedOL


That being said, my woot has officially been... well, like, FeEx knows it's gonna ship. Whatever the word is for that

Can we go back to the Order number theorizing?

notified?

Why is this causing such debate when a post by a woot staffer has been linked numerous times in this post confirming that:

"You should receive 4 items, one of which is an item that can hold something: bag, bucket, basket, box, etc."

If people receive more craps, great. If people receive less and want to email woot, ok. If people receive less and don't want to email woot about it, wonderful.

No tracking by reference for me yet. They must be waiting for the big *ss tractor trailer to show up and take my huge package! ;-)

I wonder if they post your shipment with FedEx in the order they were received. So the last box shipped is to the person who bought the last available Bowl of Cereal.

i'm thinking it's something like that.

Since you mentioned it....the best part is when they let out that quick "yelp" just before launch!

mine doent even say it has shipped yet is there possibly a problem? or am I overreacting

Mine hasn't either. I will wait until Monday before I get curious.

Any chance of a happy hour today??

Jeus wrote:i'm thinking it's something like that.

except that I have one of the earlier order numbers (withing the first 600 or so) and FedEx has not received my shipping information yet.

funny you'd bring that up i asked they said i was demanding. lol

I do believe this is the point at which normally someone would post "That's what she said." However, I'll try not to stoop to that level.

It has been a while.... not that I'm complaining or anything. Wondering would be the appropriate phrase. Although it may be risky - when I wonder too far I get lost.

How do you know that you're within the first 600 or so?

awtherfrd wrote:now you are just whining... lol

nah just bored. lol

awtherfrd wrote:now you are just whining... lol

this is actually what i was told..."WootService @Taco_Tom fair. We do have private happy hours at our HQ which you can come to only if you bring the burrito_boys as we will be hungry. "

I love the sense of humor woot has.

The flying monkeys just flew in, no sign of a tracking number for the Bag of Colombian yet, though...

I wonder what your house must look like with all those woots... I imagine floors paved with acer net books, and a bed made of Texas air bags.

lol. my husband looked in my christmas closet last week and found a LOT of woot stuff that he didn't know about, and started grabbing stuff.

And, I try to do my part in the woot-offs to move things along.

Bogie21 wrote:How do you know that you're within the first 600 or so?

based on a formula involving the number of leakfrogs sold in the last wootoff divided by the last digit of my Bowl of Cereal order number and then some secret numbers i add into the mix...

I am so glad my wife does not woot...

you take your order number - t + f / I * L² + 4

t = time it took you to order
f = faster people
I = inventory for other woot pages
L = leakfrogs that have been in the woot warehouse

that will get you your place in line.

Bogie21 wrote:How do you know that you're within the first 600 or so?

I am just assuming that the order numbers started at a certain point and based off my order number I am that far removed from the starting order number...

I thought I was the only one who knew that.

HEY BUDDY! Are YOU an editor? YEAH, I THOUGHT NOT!

No tracking number for me by reference yet.

So not cool...

The best part is listening closely AFTER the "yelp"...THEN the best part comes..."THUMP"

No tracking info yet. Bummer.

Not that you care.

The real reason I'm posting is this:

I'm an electrical engineer. They mean you will get 3 craps or more.

Glad I settled that.

This BoC will finish shipping tomorrow.

A big thanks to everyone that makes the BoC such an event.
