It is in the tracking system! 1.0 lb placeholder, but at least there is progress! Thanks Threepiecewoot!

Track by reference worked for me. Haven't officially received my tracking # from Woot directly.

AND my Monkeys showed up today! WOOHOO!!

Yet another person with their first Big o' Cosmos where tracking by reference is coming up with something, but its not shipped yet. Next stage of the waiting game.

Hello* everyone, thanks so much for your patience. We had a busy day today and we are all set up to get your order out in the next 24 hours.

As always, I'll post up when the last BoC rolls off of our docks.

Thanks!

*bandeaux sympa, non?

Breaking out some deep cuts with that song. Was expecting to get hit with a little Lionel Richie.

Mine just showed up with 'the method' as well. Didn't work 10 minutes ago.

Got the place-holder weight of 1 lb.

track by reference is working here as well with Invoice number: WT10186A-1

Yay! Tracking by Reference # worked for me! Cant wait for my next Big o' Cosmos. Thanks a bunch WOOT, yall are awesome

I was able to pull my tracking number from FedEx. It's my first Big o' Cosmos! I can't wait!!

Anybody else having theirs delivered via Home Delivery, and not Smart Post? This is the second time thats happened to me, and I dont know why..

Thanks!

Seriously, it's not connection or speed. Sometimes it's just dumb luck. I got mine on a lousy, firewalled, busy corporate connection through a spotty proxy server 160 miles away from my desk. (First Bucket of Coldcuts in years of trying.)

FWIW, I just clicked the I Want One button and sat there staring. No refreshing the screen. No opening up 10 more browsers trying to get in. Just one click on one browser and I managed to snag one. It's all down to the millisecond timing that my request got in and 200 other requests failed. It happens.

Man, seems like I sucked the magic out of that one. Let's talk Santa!

(Sorry for double-post)

Yay! It's real! It's really real! One Byte of Cruft is on its way to being on its way!

Got the tracking with a placeholder today... Anticipation building...

Just wanted to say THANKS WOOT! and TPW for letting us know when the Big o' Cosmos's were being sent out!

This is a great house-warming present for me! I should have my Big o' Cosmos around the same time I pack up my old house to move to my new house!

I <3 WOOT!

When I track by invoice number does that mean I am the only one in my zip code with a Big o' Cosmos??

Maybe, maybe not, but as there are something like 43000 ZIP codes in the US and only 2500 (or 3000) BOCs, your chances are probably pretty good.

Winning does not change the odds. It's still more probable that a Big o' Cosmos buyer will get a letter than a Powerball ticket buyer will win a large sum of money.

So Woot may have sent a few Home Delivery bags first... while the rest of our Smartpost bags are still not out yet.

I highly doubt that. I've never heard of smart post until I started coming to the WOOT forums. Everything I've ever gotten from anywhere has been a home delivery. I live very close to all of the major shipping company hubs so... idk....

Well there we go. I got my track-by-reference, too. The anticipation grows.

You're wrong.

you're so nice

...and so it begins.

Track by Reference worked for me too.

Got my tracking number. Weight is 1.4lbs...

Sad face.

OldMatador wrote:Got my tracking number. Weight is 1.4lbs...

Sad face.

I also got 1.4 lb. I guess that weight could be either really good or really bad. Probably bad if there are a lot of them.

Let's hope.

Scheduled to arrive on June 30th, 2011.

Crossing fingers.

I'm scheduled for June 27th, and I find it usually arrives the mailing day before that, so Saturday if I'm lucky.

got my 1lbs place holder

There's still hope, though! Consider this: The Bags of Crap that have the letters in them tend to only have two items in the box, making said box lighter...

I still think it's too early to have your finalized weight as of now (wait until it moves around the country a bit), and if it's still a lighter box.... You never know!

Here are my Big o' Cosmos Stats:

A 9-pound toaster? Is it made with cast iron parts?
