Neat blog! It's good to know I'm not the only grandma around here!

I'm really hoping to get my new monkeys before the holiday weekend.

Me too.

There's a group of my friends that are all wooters who have a big 4th (err...3rd) of July get together...we all are going to wear woot tees and *hopefully* bring our patriotic monkeys!

Sansas!

Got a 4G Fuze in the 5/6 baggie. Use it every day!

I've gotten 3 Bottles of Cola thus far (not including this one, obviously), yet received only 1 Sansa (a 4GB e260). I feel like Woot hates me. Though I did get a broken GPS, so I know I'm still partially within their good graces.

Any shipping email yet? I' still waiting for my pallet of TVs but no email yet

never got a Bag of Cement b4 this one.... do they update your account with tracking info once your item ships just like other items? accidentally sent my box to my work.... when the guys down @ the loading dock see the woot logo, it may wind up 'missing.'

Any chance your broken GPS was a Sanyo? I got one in my last Bowl of Cereal and it came with no maps.

My one previous crap was handled just like any other order...only with much higher anticipation and glee upon arrival than any of the others. Sure, there was a fair amount of wifely disappointment at the end result, but she's way more difficult to please than am I.

Bowl of Cereal's can take up to 5 days to ship, which means we may not hear anything until Thursday .

Yeah, they provide tracking for Bowl of Cereal's.

If you are really anxious, you can try going Here and placing your order number in to the Reference number box. Then just fill in the zip code and submit. Woot doesn't always supply reference numbers to FedEx though, so it may not work this time. You will likely get a Not Found message for a few days.

I've only gotten one Bowl of Cereal before this, but it was just last month and it arrived in a plain box. The tracking info will come, but try to be patient because they don't ship until after all the other woot-off stuff goes out. The anticipation last time nearly drove me crazy!!

The tracking by reference on the FedEx site mentioned in another post never did work for mine. It seemed to be hit or miss.

One of those putters that were up during the Woot-off would be nice to get in the Bowl of Cereal. I saw those, but missed out while they were up.

thanks all. i can't bear the anticipation. hopefully they don't ship me a pallet of anything. i'll have a tough time explaining that one to the guys at the loading dock, not to mention my boss.

I don't even trust the tracking - I've often received my shipment (not talking Bowl of Cereal here) before I ever got the tracking number.

I've just learned that I'll get the box when it gets here, not one second sooner, nor one second later.

MORE the reason they should LMAO ....1500 action figures to work haha

5th Balrog of chaos for me. So far best things have been 8gb Sansa that works fine, 1 box of 6 NIB Star Wars Bobble heads (still new in box, anyone interested?), 3m Altona HDMI cable (new in package, anyone interested?). Worst items- envelope full of manuuals and a set of used earbuds (wax included.

Then of course there was a box of baby bottles and liners, and of course 2 of the dreaded winnie the pooh singing toothbrush holders.

The best part of Bowl of Cereal is waiting for the shipping info with weight and dimensions, then trying to guess what you're getting only to realize when it arrives, .... it's crap

It was a 7" Cobra GPS. It powered on and had maps, but the antenna did not work, so I could never get a satellite signal.

Here is what was in my last Babies On Carriages. The broken GPS is on the top right.

Totally. Best comment

Guys,

Check your reference number on FedEx.

Looks like they're ready to ship out.

(On the down side, my package weight is only 1 lb. But I think the weight info, gets updated, once FedEx/Smartpost physically scans the box...

Right now, I only get: 'Shipment information sent to FedEx'.

So hopefully, my package weight will go up... Or maybe I'll get a nice little note from the Woot Gods. Wouldn't that be something...)

Same here. 1 lb., with dimensions as N/A x N/A x N/A

Same as always.

I love/hate this part!

The track-by-reference that people are now using starts to work as-and-when they process and ship. The official e-mail that goes out can not be sent by the Woot! systems until after ALL the packages for that item have been shipped. (And, of course, many a time has the package been received with no shipping information whatever.)

cpsman wrote:Same here. 1 lb., with dimensions as N/A x N/A x N/A

And here.

A light, dimensionless crap.

We can all assume that they will grow in shipment.

my 1lb also showed up in FedEx tonight...

Wow. Mine showed up as 151.5lbs. What does that mean?

Clear out space in your garage?

mikellanes wrote:my 1lb also showed up in FedEx tonight...

I forsee a night of page refreshing in my future! I'll post my weight as soon as it updates. Last two were 4.5 and then a 2.7.

SirVancelot wrote:Wow. Mine showed up as 151.5lbs. What does that mean?

Did they have dimensions listed?

Maybe you are getting another one of those anvils like they sent someone a few years ago.

SirVancelot wrote:Wow. Mine showed up as 151.5lbs. What does that mean?

Try setting up a MyFedEx account and tracking through there to get dimensions and maybe box count.

I think the Depends would help soak some of it up...maybe the wigs would too? hehehehe

Mine is up too.

I have a dimension-less 1 pound placeholder as well.

Hopefully I get a Sansa! Woot gave me Sansa cables but no Sansa's.

SirVancelot wrote:Wow. Mine showed up as 151.5lbs. What does that mean?

Wouldn't hold your breath until you get more information like the rest of us. You're could easily lose weight...

1 lb placeholder as well.

SirVancelot wrote:Wow. Mine showed up as 151.5lbs. What does that mean?

Sorry. j/k
Only in my dreams. It will probably be .5 lbs.

Mine does not even show a spot for dimensions.... does everyone else's even show a n/a or nothing at all?

borcas wrote:Mine does not even show a spot for dimensions.... does everyone else's even show a n/a or nothing at all?

You need to use My Fedex (I think this works) or the FedEx Desktop application (this is the one I use), otherwise dimensions will not show.

However, FedEx doesn't always show the dimensions right away in either of those tools.
