You aren't my doppelganger, are you?? ;-)

It's funny how the weight changed over the weekend; mine lost about a pound.

Mines due tomorrow, but I have yet to see any change from it's initial weight and dimensions. 4.8lbs and 12x12x12.

I'm expecting a STACK of letters from 3PW. None of you can have any.

Oh your Bucket of Candy lost a pound?! Interesting, so they even started out at the same weight. Mine still shows up as 6.8lbs. Maybe my Bucket of Candy is slowly eating yours while in transit?! You better hope it gets delivered soon! ;-)

I think all of ours are together. lol

My box of crayons is currently stuck at the FedEx office in Chino, Ca and hasn't made its way to Orange County.

It's still weighing in at 5.7lbs, but the news that the fact-or-crap calendars are circulating are making me nervous.

circus peanuts!.

Got my 3.2 Bountiful October Cornucopia 3 days ahead of schedule. Like 5 of the other 6 boxes I received, this one is pretty much the standard crap:

1 PGA backpack
1 PGA hat
3 Phillips HDMI Extenders
1 Snap Camera
1 iPhone 3G case
1 Brother in Arms action figure (3 of my 7 boxes have had these in them)
12 bags of Texas Air

0 MC Hammer CD
0 letter

Thanks woot! Can't wait to try it again!

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 MA bound box of crap has made it to Northboro... ETA pushed back to 11/5 but considering it has already left Northboro for the USPS, guessing tomorrow or Thursday for delivery. I have a 7lb box, so I'm sure lots of calendars for me!

The Bucket of Candy journey so far:
27 hours in Dallas
61 hours in transit to New Berlin, WI
6 hours in New Berlin before departure to ????

Lost .2 lbs while (apparently) hitchiking from Dallas to New Berlin -- down to 2.7 lbs.

Still shows Nov4 delivery, but I think my last (first) Bucket of Candy took 3 days just to travel from New Berlin to the local SmartPost in Michigan, so Nov4 seems optimistic.

Keep posting those openings, people - it continues to give me hope.

Woo(t)Hoo!

Mine is on the truck for home delivery! Now I just have to suffer through a day at work until I get home.

Move clock hand... MOVE!

Well mine started at 3.1 Lbs but is now down to 2.2 Lbs in just 5 days when I checked yesterday. I am not scheduled to get this until Friday but at this rate I am afraid it will only weight 1.38 when I get it.

Maybe if it gets delayed until next week I might have a good chance at getting a letter from you know who.

dang....went from 12.9 to 11.4 lbs and is hanging out in New Berlin, WI. Guess it doesn't like cheese or else they don't want to feed a box for a FIB.

My Box of Cheerios finally left the TX wilderness and has made it to PA. Can't wait to see the prize in my first Box of Cheerios. Still 1 lb and still no dimensions though. Estimated delivery is tomorrow but I won't be able to pick up till Sat.

Is there some better way to track a smartpost? Mine gave up dates until 4 am on the October 30th then nothing.

Here I am sitting on the porch to 3 days twiddling my thumbs.

Last month was 10.1 lb w/ 8 calendars...

So maybe only 5 this time!

Down to 6.1 lb... and pushed back a day...

Go to http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/index.jsp and put in your FedEx tracking number. Both my Bucket of Candy and my memory card shipments left Orlando at 3 AM, and USPS says for both: 'Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received. The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on November 02, 2010 to expect your package for mailing.'
From experience, this means they could arrive in today's mail, or perhaps tomorrow. The USPS site has in past only admitted that they have it right AFTER they delivered it to me. They have a mystique to maintain, don't you know.

aaaack - mine was delayed yet another day. now has a delivery date of 11/06 and also lost .1 pounds. Guess someone forgot to give the kittens food.

My 6.2lb Bucket of Candy left Houston 4am on Saturday and then disappeared off the radar. Maybe I should drive up and down 290 and see if it needs a lift.....

wasn't there someone who got 12 lbs of dirt? i read something in the forums a couple days ago and now i can't find it. did they ever figure out what was going on?

I'm nervous about the calendars, too. I bought six when they first were available (think it was a two fer Tuesday) and got three each of the same and they were falling apart. Woot replaced them with two of everything, so I had more calendars than I have friends. Last month I finally threw out about ten of them, never opened.

I hope they're not like a bad penny...

Looks like were getting the same crap, mine that left New Berlin at 12:33 this morning...2.7 pounds in a 14.5 in. x 10.5 in. x 8.7 in. coming to Michigan.

I wonder if they send us folks farther away from Woot HQ..lighter crap to save on shipping.

I'm patiently awaiting my second Bountiful October Cornucopia.....

It's weighing in at 11.1 lbs/5.0 kg, no dimensions and is sitting in New Berlin, WI.

Has anyone else had an 11.1lb Bucket of Candy? I've seen a couple that were close, but none dead on. What did you get for 11.1lbs?

Looks like I'm the same too... 14.4 in. x 10.5 in. x 8.7 in. and 2.7 lbs heading to MI.

Looks like its going to be a crappy day when I get home today! The USPS tracker says my Basket of Cats is out for delivery!


Bandoleer of Carrots--------Bag of Crap----------Basket of Cats

The kitties must be getting hungry, though, they have lost 0.1 lb while they were travelling from Martinsburg to the post orifice.

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.

That is strange.

You claim you were sitting next to "Johnny" Number 5 on a bus.

I have not yet determined if you are trying to be deceitful.

I am suspicious however, as I am related to Number 5 (or as we call him, Strategic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport Number 5) and he is strictly prohibited from using a bus as a transportation module.

Thx. Same info. We were told you have a package on the 30th and even though you live 2 hours from Houston we will hang on to it for at least 4 days then no tell you where it is or when you get it.

My bag went went over 1748 miles in three/four days. Now it says that it will take three days to go less than 85 miles.

Why torture me FexEx?

My bucket of candy is out for delivery... Maybe I should take the rest of the day off and go sit on my steps waiting

If you do that be sure to drink hard lemonade while on a rocking chair on your porch.

Well that's what I would do if I was able to take today off to wait.

From Orlando to Jacksonville took nine hours! My Bucket of Candy holds:
1x 2010 Would You Rather Desktop Calendar (going to my teacher neighbor who asked for all such items)
1x PGA hat
1x PGA backpack
1x iPhone 3G/S case (red)- this may be a sign that I need to replace my 4 year old flip phone.

I am a very happy Wooter, and the next predicted WootOff is Nov 28th, I think. I'll be there. Thanks, Woot!
