Mine 'left Irving, TX' on Oct 29 at 1:38 am so either it is wandering the wilderness with yours or by my calculations on time and distance it should be somewhere in China by now.

Hmm... I bought 2 items, an SD card and the Bucket of Candy.

They were both ETA Thursday, and both left Martinsburg, WV yesterday but now the Bucket of Candy is in Allentown, PA and is ETA Friday, while the SD card went to Edison, NJ and is still on track for Thursday...

I guess the FedEx just throws SmartPost packages on whatever truck that still has space left and is going towards my general location?

I really thought I was more patient than this but the last update I have from FedEx is from 5:30 AM on the 29th *sigh*

Edit: That's when it departed Dallas, and I'm in Ohio...

Same.
Must be a long trip to Ohio from Dallas :/

My Bucket of Cats spawned a litter of kittens or something. It grew from 4.9 to 5 lbs, then to 6.1lbs now to 6.2lbs. The dimensions are now 14.5"x10.4"x8.7". It is currently in New Berlin, WI (about 2 hours from here) but still won't be showing up until Thursday.

AnniKat wrote:Wow! I checked USPS for mine, which just left Atlanta last night and . . .

it's OUT FOR DELIVERY!!

MyFecdex shows it as turned over to the PO, but cautions that it will be 1 or 2 more days.

The PO seems to have outdone itself. Yea PO!

It's NOT here yet, I just checked.

Just LOOK at the turn around in the B'ham PO:

Out for Delivery, November 01, 2010, 12:01 pm, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35209
Sorting Complete, November 01, 2010, 11:51 am, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35209

Nothing snail like about that!

Now I am in a conundrum. My box arrived at the B'ham post office today but isn't scheduled for delivery at my office until Wednesday. I'm out of town and taking the red-eye back tonight and will get into Birmingham at about 11 AM tomorrow morning. So do I land and then drive all the way to the office in my sleep-deprived state and hope that it shows up tomorrow or just go home and sleep and wait for it to come in when I go back to work on Wednesday?

My first Bucket of Candy arrived.

Contents:
1 PGA Hat
1 PGA Backpack
4 Sansa USB Cables
1 set Sansa Ear Buds
2 Philips HDMI Extender
1 Iphone 3G/3GS Case

No letter

1 "Snap" camera
3 Sprinklers
1 PGA hat
1 PGA bag
3 2010 Fact or Crap Music Edition calendars
2 F-F HDMI adapters
10 Bags of Texas air

How or Why does my Crap Leave Dal on Thursday and make a break for Mexico before being thrown in the county jail in Houston where it sits for a day.

hen it leaves Houston at 4am Saturday morning (In a world where the Longhorns and The Dallas Cowboys still had a dream of winning) and now 2 and a half days later it still has not surfaced in the Austin area just 2 hours away.

My Baggie must be hitch hiking to Austin. Maybe it stopped in Brenham to do the Blue Bell tour this morning. For that I could not hold a grudge.

Waiting for my Bucket of Candy over here in Oklahoma..

Estimated delivery ~ Nov 3, 2010

Weight ~ 9.2 lbs/4.2 kg

Mine supposedly left Houston around 4 AM as well, but it still hasn't shown up here in good 'ol Corpus yet. C'mon crap! The anticip -p -pation is killing me!

Got it!
One PGA back pack.
One PGA hat.
35mm 3D camera
iphone case
2 foldable HDMI cable extenders
One Brain Game 2010 desk calander
One Numeric Keypad

Quite a haul! I'm happy!

I buttafuocoed to mention in my post that my office is in Houston. Estimated delivery was (still is in fact) tomorrow despite being dropped off at ~10 AM this morning. USPS still just lists it as out for delivery.

My Bucket of Candy arrived, 2 days early. Here it is on my front porch:



# 1x PGA hat
# 1x PGA backpack
# 1x Phillips clock radio/photo frame
# 1x iPhone 3G/3GS case
# 2x Philips HDMI extenders
# 1x Nishika 3d Camera




All in all, a good basket, tho not quite up to the "Stack of Sansas" I got last year.

Thanks WOOT!

Put your SmartPost tracking number n the USPS tracking site at : http://www.usps.com/

If that says its begin delivered Wednesday, believe it. If it says today or tomorrow, act accordingly.

This was exactly by bucket as well. Better than my last one.

The great Bounty of Christmas joy for family I don't like arrived a day early!!

1 - PGA bag
1 - PGA hat
3 - Gilmour Pulsating Sprinklers
3 - HDMI extension connectors
1 - Snap Camera
1 - Mosquito shield
15 - Bags of Texas Air

4.3lbs
18.2 in. x 12.8 in. x 12.5 in.

pretty standard crap. there was this cut across the side of my box which at first i though maybe woot had made to slip in a letter :P but no letter

Well my Baby Of the Cosmos has been located in New Berlin, WI. It lost .5 lbs from 6.2 to 5.7, I'm not concerned though according to kidshealth.org "A healthy newborn is expected to lose 7% to 10% of the birth weight but should regain that weight by about 2 weeks after birth. During their first month, most newborns continue to gain weight at a rate of at least 5 ounces (141 grams) a week. They generally grow in height about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.54 to 3.81 centimeters) during the first month. Many newborns go through a period of rapid growth when they are 7 to 10 days old and again at 3 and 6 weeks." So I'm fully expecting that the 3rd item which will not fit in my box will more than make up for the slight weight lose.

My 3.6lb box arrived today! Hooray!

1x Snap camera
3x HDMI extenders

I received exactly the same crap. My alarm 1 button is broke off though and there is no manual. Otherwise it works. All in all, the best Bucket of Candy I've gotten, but I'm easily amused.

My Bucket of Candy update. In WI and still 4.3 lbs but box is now 18.4 X 12.7 X 12.6. Added a day to delivery now due Friday, 11/5. Trying to be patient.

Mmm, mine is 8.9lbs still but I got dimensions: 18.5 in. x 12.8 in. x 12.6 in.

Anyone else have the same? I'm pretty sure I saw one.

Edit: Same thing happened to mine as the post above. Same size and added a day after hitting New Berlin.

Actually Woot is saving trees because these were already over produced and now as long as we use them as notepads then less will go in the garbage.

I still don't want any, but will use them if I get them.

I have roughly the same dimensions, but listed @ 1 lb. Expecting a lot of texas air. Shipment due to arrive on Wednesday for me.

My Bucket of Candy Bucket of Candy Bucket of Candy

1 - PGA Tour Hat
1 - PGA Tour Backpack
1 - iPhone 3G case (definitely won't fit my EVO)
1 - SNAP camera
2 - HDMI extenders
0 - Texas Air
0 - Letter from threepiecewoot

So, the exact base Bucket of Candy with nothing extra. Not going to post pics because you've all seen it before, and the video of the kids was rather anticlimactic. Really enjoyed the two weeks of anticipation, and I will still lurk here to see what you fellow lucky wooters get.

Almost forgot, 2.3 lbs.

Scene: On business travel through DFW to LAX. I'm sitting on the rental car bus with one young man and one fellow oldster.

Checking in with the fam.

Me (to teenager on phone): "Was a box of crap sitting on our porch when you got home from school? No? Maybe tomorrow" (hang up)

Young Man: [snicker] "Woot!?"

Me: "Yeah, number 5."

Young Man: "Lucky. I only get server crash screens. My roommate got like a hundred toys once."

Rental Car Bus Driver: "We're here, get off my bus."

What a strange world.

You have to know that there was likely something particularly awesome that "escaped" from that box. Looks like an Ace Ventura special.

Both my Bucket of Candy and memory card are stuck in New Berlin, WI and now the Bucket of Candy delivery date has been pushed back to 11/4 instead of 11/3, :-(

5.2 lbs on its way from Dallas on Friday, had a 3 hour layover in MARTINSBURG, WV on Halloween, and is due in Massachusetts on Thursday the 4th. This is my 1st Bucket of Candy & I keep refreshing the FedEx tracking page (easy, boy). Good luck to everyone! Someone's got to get a letter!

My crap has made it to New Berlin, Wisconsin (on its way to Ohio). Still only 2.8 pounds but I now have accurate dimensions: 14.4" x 10.6" x 8.7".

Looks like our Bucket of Candy's are traveling to Massachusetts together! I have the exact same shipping info and haven't seen any FedEx updates all day (I too have been refreshing a bit too much). Good luck!

Mine arrived via SmartPost in Des Moines today, 5.8 lbs.
