Crabs must have snipped on my Big o' Cosmos, weight also reduced from 5.4 --> 5.3

***Spoiler Alert***

Don't read further if you want to keep the anticipation alive!!!

Co-worker received his Big o' Cosmos today:

2 Flying Monkeys
1 Breast Pump
1 2-Pak Aqua Globes
1 Ear-muffs
1 Red purse

His weighed in at 3.9 lbs.

Good Luck!!!

10.9 pounds, shipped to Baltimore, delivery date 2/16. If the contents are of any interest, I'll do a followup post.

This is my first Bag of Cosmos and I must say - this is alot of fun for 8 bucks, huh?

Now I understand why folks go crazy over
getting a Big o' Cosmos.

The excitement of actually getting to buy such a hard to get item, waiting for shipping, finally seeing the weight, wondering about the unknown contents, dreaming about getting an expensive item, waiting for delivery, the fun of opening of the box..

Can't wait!

10.1 POC on its way, Yeah!

Check out these dimensions: 24.7" x 12.6" x 12.2".
What could it be?

a monitor? that does not define the usual cube-box deliveries with true random Big o' Cosmos's...best of luck!!!

Just got mine! w00t!!

FedEx tracking says 4.6 lbs. I weighed it on our FedEx scale here and it came out to 2.45 lbs. So, I definitely would not take the FedEx tracking.

1 x Pirates of the Caribbean Accessory Case
1 x Nuby Natural Touch Baby Bottle
2 x Flaming Screaming Monkey
1 x 180s Ear Warmer
1 x Aqua Globes (1 intact, 1 broken)

Mine shows 17.7 lbs and should be delivered on 2/17 in Salt Lake.

What will it be?
What will it be?

I have over a 100 left ($2 each) and they are monitored for inventory control. So I won't over sell. Shipping is outlined on the page depending on quantity ordered.

Thanks again.

I want to look...I want to look...I want to look...but I'm not going to

Ditto on this package. Yours being shipped Fedex Home Delivery instead of Smartpost? here's hoping on something glorious!

Yup. Home Delivery.

oh the anticipation! (I haven't seen anyone else with this weight yet?)

Sorry dude, I got the same weight. But you're the first I've seen with it besides me.

4.3lbs, 2/16/2011. Not showing dimensions. Boo...

-chAz

I got mine today! Fedex said it weighed 3.5 pounds.

My Big Organic Califlower had:
- 2 aqua globes (1 broken, 1 intact)
- 2 woot monkeys with flame capes
- an Eyeclops projector bag
- a Nuby bottle drying rack
- 180 wraparound earmuffs (black)

A great first Big o' Cosmos!

I've got 10 pounds headed to my house.


Damn Kids and their tricks!

11lbs in a huge box (That's what she said) is waiting for me at home.

Tick Tock, make time go faster....

My bag gained 3.1 pounds on the way to New Berlin. 5.5 up to 8.6. Also went from 12 cubed to 24 x 12 x12. Hmmmmmmmmmm......... Expected delivery on 2/17... good things come to those who wait??

6.9 lbs, 12" cubed. Originally showed up as 1 lb so if yours says that you might check it the next day...

My 5.4lb bag came earlier than expected. (shipping estimation: 14th)

By far the biggest box of crap I've gotten.
12 X 12 X 24

Contents:

Woot Calendar
2 flying monkeys
One of those neat flowering tea things
2 aqua globes
Purse
A lovely breast pump
One previously returned 'does not transmit' wireless headphone set. Comes with a few useful wires at the least.
Edit: after brief testing, the wireless headphone set works perfectly fine. It also picks up radio signal.

Uhg, I'm reading this thread to see how many people have got theirs and how long it took to ship, but also trying to skip over their lists of what they got so it will be a surprise for me lol.

Jatravartid smartpost, my package is only a 2-3 hour drive from me and it still says its going to take 5 days for delivery!

My wife is currently pregnant, so if my Big o' Cosmos differs too much I might have to ask about some of these breast pumps and breast milk storage kits!

They aren't those manual breast pumps are they?

How long could a delivery truck be out? my crap left Dallas at 9:07 PM last night and still hasnt turned up anywhere?

9.44" x 9.44" x 9.44" 2.6 lbs.

Any ideas? First Big o' Cosmos, and I can't wait!

5.9 lbs and still cubed out at 12.5". I'm almost more bummed I missed the monkeys than excited I'm getting a Big o' Cosmos. My only sliver of hope is that I see some have gotten monkeys in their loot. Come on woot gods and goddesses, don't let me down!

Still no picture of anyone's carp? Mine is hiding somewhere between Dallas, Atlanta and Birmingham, but severeal folks have listed their crap, why no pictures?

Finally got my package dimentions: 16.8" x 16.8" x 16.8", due on the 16th in CT. What I find unbelievable is the shipping weight of 24.2 lbs/11 kgs..... I'm giddy with anticipation! Maybe I got an entire CASE of Woot calendars!

My dimensions are the same but the weight is only 23.9. So much for the 'standard' calculation by FedEx. There certainly is some variation in these BoCs, anyway.

But I have to point a camera and push a button! The excitement of finally getting the crap... opening it... playing with it for a few minutes, and then the dreaded feeling of 'oh, that's it?' I'm sure there is a certain type of scenario two people experience that resembles opening your Big Orphaned Cetacea but it escapes me. Anyway after it's all said and done I just want to lay down and cry myself to sleep.

I mean, oh what the heck I'll post.



Not sure why direct image link is producing a broken image on the forums.

OH I get it. The code automatically converts images with Big o' Cosmos in the name and brokes em. Renaming image.

what are the headphones?

jdenn wrote:what are the headphones?

They were a set of returned wireless headphones. The note on the box said 'transmitter defective' but after fiddling with it I found out they work just fine. They also function as fm radio headphones and come with a cable to work as hard wired headphones.

as i type this my very own Big o' Cosmos is 1 mile away from me at the post office. i am beyond giddy!!

I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this forum everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your very own Fedx tracking number - that makes people. I've got a number! Things are going to start happening to me now.

Woot is "picking out a thermos for you...it's no ordinary thermos, it's true...It's the extra best thermos that woot can find..."
If not a thermos, maybe atleast an eco-canteen?

Mine's also on the slowest truck ever, also departed Dallas at 9:07 Thurs night.

My kids.woot order had the same Dallas departure time on Thurs, and it shows arrival at New Berlin, WI at 5:44 this morning.

I think FedEx knows about the Big o' Cosmos and is taunting us ....

Got mine yesterday:

Estimated delivery 2/18.

Fingers crossed its not more 2010 fact or crap/jumble calendars.

Mine just arrived at Smartpost sort facility in New Berlin WI. The box must have been remeasured/weighed as its now listed as 10.5lbs and
24.5 in. x 12.6 in. x 12.5 in.

I don't think the Martinsburg,WV depot ever weighs or measures the boxes. Mine stay in their cubic form until they reach my door.

drgandalf wrote:I don't think the Martinsburg,WV depot ever weighs or measures the boxes. Mine stay in their cubic form until they reach my door.

Looks like they do for at least some! My Cabbage went through Martinsburg overnight and dropped 0.1 lb to 7.3lbs, and the dimensions went from 13.5 inches cubed to 24.9 x 13.1 x 12.8. Next stop, Northborough, MA depot!

mine still says
Departed FedEx location Dallas, TX

I pray it wasn't in a truck that happened to have a wreck or flipped or get barned.

Mine's the same weight and is scheduled for 2/15 delivery. I could be very happy with the same stuff.
