My delivery is still supposed to be tomorrow, but the handoff to USPS hasn't happened yet (I checked USPS site as well). It guess it's still possible I'll get it tomorrow, but I'm not getting my hope up. If I don't get it tomorrow, well... it's going to be a few weeks before I do.

I'm really hoping I'm lucky enough to get a Leakfrog or 2- I'll have some grateful parents, who often end up with a soggy basement.

p.s. Q. What exactly does Texas air smell like?
A. Big!

Nope, I think I'm safe...it hasn't even reached USPS yet. They got the info that it is coming, but it is still in FedEx's hands I guess. My delivery date still says 12/17, but I think once USPS gets it, that will change to Monday. My 6 yr old seems to think that it will be brought here on Christmas...by 'Woot-Off the Red Nose Reindeer'

Just received my Bundle of Coats, seems like the same as everyone else got:

2x Leak Frogs
1x Furry brown purse thingy
1x Picture red ornament
1x Picture Key chain
1x Sony Reader Cover

Perhaps the furry purse thingy is actually a coat for a Leak Frog. That would explain a lot, including the Bundle of Coats substitution bot this time around. My Belated Odd Cormorant was shipped on the 9th but isn't scheduled to get here until the 20th.

Would you rather have opened and broken sansas or miscellaneous charging cords? One could obtain those for free by dumpster diving at a radio shack, I suppose.

My bag and my crap:


Pink purse
2- Leakfrogs
Red Digital Photo Ornament
Digital Keychain
Sony reader cover
No air
No letter

I had the same bag contents.

Also, I would like opened/broken sansas. I've never gotten one and i want to get one to install rockbox (open source firmware) on. I keep buying Bag of Coal's for the hope of a sansa, not a letter.

Just opened my 2.2 Pound box and what a surprise (yeah, not really)!

1 X Silver Drag Queen Purse
1 X Universal GPS Vent Mount
1 X Universal GPS Visor Mount
1 X Universal charger for cigarette-lighter powered devices
4 X Tech Lights (2 White, 2 Red LED) all work.
1 X Photo Keychain that's about the size of a deck of cards.

All-in-all not the best Bee-Oh-Cee I've received but well worth the $8.

Thanks Woot!

I don't think it's a pallet of anything because it only weighs 14.4 lbs and it should be here by December 23rd (the day before my birthday!)

For those that asked, here's a close up of the inside of the card which includes an original threepiecewoot self-portrait

hmmmm, may not be a pallet but maybe its the first of many coffee makers...

ttatink wrote:FINALLY my Bag of Coal has arrived! Smart Post should be renamed to Snail Post. Honestly.



That would be:
1 Penguin Photo Ornament (may be a mother-in-law gift, may keep it)
1 Car/Home GPS Charger
2 Clip on lights (my son is already trying to claim one!)
1 ugly bag (but not nearly as bad as the recycled Muppet bags!)

I got the exact same crap you did. None of my lights work, though.

Received my Bag of Coal number 5 (third in a row) yesterday. I've not been watching the blog as much as I have before, but I did enter my info into the spreadsheet. I received pretty much the same as all the other 3.3lb. boxes:

2 Green Leakfrogs
1 Sont Reader Cover
1 Picture This Digital Ornament (Red ball)
1 Spectra Digital Photo Frame Keychain
1 Brown-Orange Fuzzy-Sequin Purse

As many others have said, I also wish that there were more randomness in the Bundle of Coats even though we are only guaranteed 3 crappy items, not 3 random crappy items.

Oh well, now to sit back and wait for the next Bag of Coal to see if I can make it 4 in a row.

I got this crap as well. Did you pull out the clear tabs keeping the battery from making a connection on the lights?

Got mine today..

1 Ivory excessively sequined/beaded evening bag (my daughter will probably love it)

1 Universal AC adapter for car chargers

2 ToolLogic LED clip things (haven't totally figured them out yet but there is a tiny screwdriver

1 Penguin digital picture ornament

Okay, it's time now for a week's worth of heavy-duty vicariousness. Make sure you keep us posted!

A Happy Birthday to you! Yep, combined presents suck and should be made illegal or something

Bundle of Coats contents:

• Gold digital photo ornament
  
• Snowman digital photo ornament
  
• Leather Sony Reader case
  
• 2 LEAKFROGS!
  
• The bag: Some shiny sequin-decked purse thingy. One the the kids.woot designer diaper bags maybe?

Works fine with me on 7. But I had to wipe the disc off first. It was covered with dust and actually had a visible fingerprint.

got mine in today.

1x Penguin ornament
1x Picture this Ornament
1x Sonyt E-Reader cover
2x T1 Series Tech Lights
1x Rhine Stone Purse (non fuzzy)


Thanks woot. Trying to get the Penguin ornament to work but shows up as ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ USB Device

any one know how to fix this?

Well, it looks like my crap may have really been stolen The USPS site now says that they received my package at 2:15 pm...and that it was delivered at 7:59 pm! I have no box on my door step, nor have I ever seen a mailman deliver that late! I'm thinking I won't ever see my crap, but I'll ask the mailman about it tomorrow. I hope it is just a mix up that can be fixed.

I got the exact same stuff. I put the Leakfrogs to work. Figure I'll be able to give some of the other stuff away at work and use some of the rest for stocking stuffers. Not sure about the reader cover though. I do have to admit that I got a bit excited when I saw the word "Sony" as I was opening the box!

**Edit** If anyone else gets this try a different cable. The one I had seems to have been bad. Tried one of the many I have laying around hat I know works and it came up with no issues.

Ditto here. Thanks Woot!

Well, I'll be getting mine tomorrow I suppose. Tracking says it was transfered to the Post Office today. Not very hopeful after reading the previous posts, but my girlfriend will be excited if we just get an empty box - she's easy to please that way!

On a side note, I think my package lost weight somewhere on it's journey across the country. Must have been all that walking it did. It started out weighing 4.4 pounds according to the tracking information, but by the time it got to the USPS, it had wasted away to a mere 3.0 according to the updated tracking info!

I'll post my contents (or rather the boxes contents - no one is interested in MY contents!) as soon as it arrives...

like others, I got

1x White Purse
1x sony ereader COVER
1x Digital Picture X-mas Ornament
1x Digital Picture Snowman
2x Leakfrog

My crap has arrived! First Bundle of Coats I got. I was hoping for greatness but still okay with what I got. No pictures but I made a video opening the box:


Video of my crap
2x leak frogs
1x digital photo keychain
1x digital photo ornament
1x ugly purse
1x sony reader cover

3 (lb) 12.3x9.3x9.1 (in) (0.6 ft³)

Here's what was in mine:

1 x Purple "evening" handbag
1 x AC to 12v socket universal charger
2 x Clip on LED flashlights with tiny screwdriver and stylus attachments
1 x Todd's Dirt Seasoning

Well, crap number six finally arrived and, as expected, I received one of the two stock bundles that were sent out this time.

Crap contents:

• 1 Spectra Digital Photo Frame Keychain
  
• 1 Picture This Digital Ornament (Red ball)
  
• 1 Sony Reader case
  
• 2 Leakfrogs! (THANKS, I needed some more. One of my original family of six just died; the two new ones have been adopted into the fold)
  
• 1 Merkin - Giant Sized -- Golden-Brown and Sequin covered
  

Got mine mid-week. Basically the same as everyone else.

hideous pink fuzzy purse (dog seems to like it)
Sony Reader cover
2 leak frogs
red picture this ornament
digital photo frame keychain

Not bad for my first basket of cats. My cats were not impressed with the Woot! box as it is too small for them to both get into at once.

Came yesterday while I was at work... needless to say I left early to go home to open it.

1x Snow Man photo Ornament
1x Red Ball photo Ornament
1x Green Sparkly Bag
2x Leak Frogs
6x Triple A Batteries
1x Sony E Reader cover

Tuxedo cats are cheaper. Color costs more than black and white.

My tuxedo cat is lazy. He only washes the white parts.

Got mine today!

1x Penguin Ornament
1x Picture This Ornament (red)
1x Sony E-Reader Cover
2x T1 Series Tech Lights
1x Ugly brown/rust colored fuzzy purse

Ahhhhh, a huge sigh of relief!! The mailman had my box with him and said he didn't know why it said it was delivered last night I got:

2 Crabby Dirt seasonings
1 GPS charger (I was getting ready to toss out my gps bc it was not taking a charge, but this brought it back to life! Yay!!)
2 Visor flashlight/pen/screwdrivers
1 pink digital photo keychain
1 Bag of sweet Texas air...just popped
and 1 sequined black purse

I am a very satisfied customer! Thanks Woot!

I think my purse takes the cake! Look at this beast!

You win the Pulchritudinous Purse Prize!

USPS took possession of my crap very early this morning - prior to 5:00 AM. Maybe I actually WILL get it today!

My 3.8 lb box arrived today, and although I watched the USPS scan it, it still claims to be out for delivery.

I got:
1x Copper Sequin Furry Purse- previous descriptions did not prepare me for it. Well, it's certainly the Bag.
2x Leakfrogs
1x Sony PRS-300 Reader Cover (Now I have two covers, one reader.)
1x Round Digital Ornament
1x Snowman Digital Ornament
All usable, all fun, all ready for next Bastion of Calamity. How about the 24th? Doesn't that sound like fun?

AnniKat wrote:You win the Pulchritudinous Purse Prize!

That purse "hey, hey, it's, it's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain"

Got mine today. Mine is completely different from what everyone else got.

Just kidding. It's the same.

cress2000 wrote:I got the exact same crap you did. None of my lights work, though.

Ditto here. Daughter will use the bag for dances (it's definitely better than the fuzzy bags) and hopefully the penguin ornament will work. Will I try again - I don't know. Miss my first bag when I did get several Sansas and fixed/gave away all but the one that I kept for myself.
