Get a replacement at the shack.

BTW: I got a dlink router two bocs ago and it was DOA (lights up but no signal). Unless someone knows and can tell me how to fix it, you can have the powercord if it has the same amps and such. Any idea what the voltage and amps are?

Did you enter the router's setup and make sure wireless was enabled?

Mine came today in the mail, weighing in at 7.7 lbs:

1x - McGladrey golf bag
2x- McGladrey golf hat
3x - Gold's tote

and the unique item:

1x - Eton FR1000 Emergency radio

This is my 4th Bundle of Coats, and each one has had a radio of some sort included in it (iPod pillow, shortwave radio, picture frame radio, and now this). Creepy...

for those that got the letters and iphones did your fedex information show 1 or 2 boxes for your shipment. I would interested if they actually informed you of a second box or if they shipped them under a different tracking number.

Showed one. And funny...tracking by reference NEVER worked this time. I just tried and it is still not working.

I ended up with one of the PGA bags and a box of the Aqua Globe Minis. Confused, though, because, quoth THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v3.0:
"I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items."

Tweeted in Woot's direction, but I'm wondering if I should expect another package or a letter or something like that?

/got an embroidery machine at my mom's house - that PGA logo is getting replaced with a duckie of some sort!

Just got my Bag of Coal.

1 - PGA McGladrey Bag
2 - PGC McGladrey Hats
3 - Golds Gym Bags
And my craptastic "unique" item
1 - Manipuiator plastic hand grabby thing. Has a bit of Engrish on the package, like how it can "hold with a lot of things."

Thanks for the crap Woot!

Bundle of Coats just arrived:

1 - McGladrey PGA Backpack
2 - McGladrey PGA Hats
3 - Gold's Gym Bags
1 - Sprinkler
1 - Damaged Tripodguru Tripod

Can you tell me if you get the "Letter" with your Bag of Coal or does it come through the mail?

How many globes in the box? Woot is supposed to send you three items and one bag. So if you got three globes and the bag, then there you go.

It comes in the box with your other Bundle of Coats items.

Well I am getting farther... I'm not sure if its supposed to say this but I do get a home screen but it says that there is "No SIM card installed". I'm not sure if a SIM card will be installed when the phone gets set up or if there is something wrong.

Mine has been stuck in CO since 12/31 (en route to California) and hasn't been updated.


To those that got the woot letters, iphones, and pallets, etc....a big CONGRATULATIONS!!

12milluz wrote:How many globes in the box? Woot is supposed to send you three items and one bag. So if you got three globes and the bag, then there you go.

It was one box of aqua globe minis - 3 in the box, but I would consider that to be only one item, especially since other people received 2 or 3 of those (or the PGA bag, the globes, and something else).

So my Bag of Coal does not come (according to FedEx) until this Wednesday (which is also my birthday). Such a crappy birthday gift from Woot, no?

And yes my name is on that package my brother speaks of. I would love to hear something regarding this from Woot. It was shipped to my parents house but with my name.

SIM card would be from your cell provider (i.e ATT or tmobile if jailbroken)

That's another thing to hope for. I supposed to get my Bag of Coal on 1/6. Hope I get a golden letter, or like Leo a nice phone call from FedEx. Thanks!

well, after years of trying we got our first boxes of cookies today.

Mine,

3 Gold's Gym bags,
2 PGA hats
2 Prepare for World Nom-ination Shirts sz. M
1 Phillips Home electronics surge protector.

Go to your Woot 'My Account', and click on the Bundle of Coats entry. It will give you an order number and a tracking code.
That should allow you to determine which package is yours.

Sounds like I got the lower end of the craps.

1 PGA backpack
3 Golds Gym tote bags
1 Package of mini-aquaglobes

And definitely not the 10 lbs listed by Fedex. More like 4 pounds.

Ah well, better luck next time I guess. The aquaglobes are worth $5 to me at least.

mine is still sitting in Chino Ca. I keep hitting refresh to know when it moves. It wont make it go faster but I can not stop from hitting refresh.

maybe Fedex will track that i am watching it intently and make it move faster!! I must refresh more.

You would think my brother would do that. I am 400 miles away so kinda hard for me to check the package.

Since this is a second package from the letter, it is not listed under my account or my brothers;)

EDIT: reread that and I see what you mean; however, there is no order number listed on the box and Woot! does not give out tracking numbers for these packages as it is not my original Bundle of Coats box so I cannot cross reference anything.

But didn't one of the first packages have a letter?

I agree. Send Woot an email. They have been nice about throwing something extra my way in the past when I have encountered a similar situation.

bbmaier wrote:But didn't one of the first packages have a letter?

My package had the letter and the iPhone was shipped to the same address as the letter, just with my brother's name on it; my brother has not received his package yet.

I'm not at home at the moment, but my package arrived a few days early (was scheduled for 1/5). Had my mother go ahead and open it, so I'm not sure on specifics yet. I do know for sure that I received:

1 - PGA Backpack (of course)

1 - iPhone case, and no iPhone (of course! at least now I have plenty of people to trade to, haha)

1 - crank flashlight with attached utility knife and compass, I'll get model info later

1 - 14 pc. Cuisinart Grill Set ( http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-14-Piece-Deluxe-Grill-Set/dp/B002XQ2D8Q )

1 - 3pk of Mini Aquaglobes

I am definitely satisfied, and only suffering mild crap envy- naturally as soon as I get home I will dig through every crevice and crack in the box, just in case.

I think you might be on to something. Mine departed LA and maybe this universe on the 31st. No updates since then. Apparently it also sucked in the small item I bought from Amazon on the 31st...it doesn't exist in the USPS system (never the most reliable as far as updates go)...

The 12 days of Christmas begin on the 25th & end on the 5th, so there is still hope for your Christmas ;)

12milluz wrote:I agree. Send Woot an email. They have been nice about throwing something extra my way in the past when I have encountered a similar situation.

I did... hopefully I'll hear back from them tomorrow.

Now where's my seam ripper? Time to prep this PGA bag for new embroidery. Looks like it'll be a pain to get hooped properly, too. Hooray new challenges!

darkinc wrote:Whatcha mean? that was in my Bag of Coal, is that what you mean?

Yeah, that's what I mean. My bag of c has room for one 1.1 item over & above the PGA hats & gym bags. Since I just purchased the Sony eReader, I'll probably get one in my Bag of Coal

Got mine 26.7 lb (actually way heavier) bag.

Got a few standard things:

1 - PGA McGladrey Bag
1 - Aqua Globes Mini
12 - Face or Crap Books (can't believe I almost forgot these!)

And my unique items are certainly unique:

1 - Opened and sandwiched back into box MP9 Digital Pocket Video Recorder (spy pen) with 3 8GB drives (2 extra)

1 - Badly cracked carrying case which contains my very own Power Magician 12V Power Jack and Impact Wrench

I took a picture of my unique stuff, I know the image is crappy but it fits the goods!



Thanks woot!

Wow! That is so cool of them to make it up to you! Maybe you'll get a "refreshed" phone or one of the eReaders that didn't sell out yesterday!

Got mine today:

1 PGA backpack
1 box of Mini Aqua Globes
1 box of Christmas Cards

2 full and 1 empty Texas air bags.

Smartpost thought it weighed 17.9 lbs. My scale says 5.6 lbs.
Wish I could lose weight that quickly. Also hope Woot didn't pay shipping on those phantom pounds.

Got my crap today. Last year's crap was better (especially considering that I got a letter from Woot). While I"m not sure how useful my stuff will be, I was quite excited to get it.

12x Fact or Crap Quiz book
1x Mini Aqua Globes 3-pack
3x Golds Gym bag
1x PGA Backpack

I'm going to try to take the books to Half Price Bookstore and see if I can get any money for it. Everything else will probably sit in my extra room of stuff.

Here is a pic of the stuff if you are interested:

Got my 6.2 lbs. of crap today...

1 x PGA Backpack
1 x 3 pack of Aqua Globes mini
3 x Gold's Gym Fitness Totes
4 x Phillips Universal Remotes

Better luck next time I guess...

Got my crap today and I'm pretty happy with it.

1x PGA Backpack
4x Phillips Universal Remote Controller
1x 3-pack of Aqua Globe Mini
1x LumiSource Rock Show Venue with Microphone

That's kind of a big weight loss -- did the package look like it might have ben messed with?

If only all of our problems were this complicated. Just get seperate accounts and fix the information in the my account section of your seperate accounts. The woot guys/gals are shipping the items to the stuff located in account or if you are using paypal the information in there.

So did everyone that received the IPhone get a no SIM Card found message when they power on the IPhone?
