I sat in my kitchen waiting for the mailman to come. I ran out and scared the bajesus out of him demanding my box. I rip open the small box and let out a sigh of slight disappointment. I then remind myself they can't all be winners and I knew that from the start.

6lbs. & 14" x 10.2" x 8.6"

All typical crap

-Polka Dot Bag
-iGO Auto8 Car Charger (and of course there aren't any tips to make it work)
-Small Quick Brown Fox shirt (this design was from 2009, interesting)
-3 Rub-n-Color Activity Kits

Not even a baseball card? This is my 2nd Bundle of Crops in the many years of trying and the 1st one had some stuff I still use regularly so I guess I set the bar too high.

I wonder if maybe the person/people that got the letter(s) just didn't know where to post? Maybe they got so excited they can't type?

Just seems odd not to see atleast one posted yet.

And no TPW sightings? What the crap?

Well i guess he did show up to give us a new song, reminisce, tease us (no link to the video? Weak sauce), and explain how he got a bunch of binders.
But that was over a week ago when nobody had gotten their Blinged Out Cabbage yet.

Danger, Will Robinson! Warning Warning!



The Sansa cable connectors are the same as those used for iPods, but the wiring is different! If you use these on your iPod, you will most likely kill your iPod!

Mine never showed, and as it's been a week since FedEx claimed to have delivered it, I wrote for a replacement, which they granted.

I wrote my request in limerick form to amuse them, but I think I just annoyed them more...

Mine and hubby's are lost as well. They were delivered on Monday (2 days early) while we were out of town. I'm pretty sure one of my apartment neighbors stole them. I can't believe my USPS mailman left them in front of the door. One was 12x18x12 and other was bigger.

Thankfully they are sending us replacements.

I got the exact same collection of crap (different style of T-Shirt: brown, women's small). Likewise, this was my second Bundle of Crops and the first one was quite useful (Netgear AP) making this one quite a letdown. Can't all be winners, I guess...

Wow, you actually knew what they looked like? Sounds like might have been fun things in there, sorry to hear that.

Mine were snagged by either a FedEx or USPS employee I'm fairly certain. I was home all weekend with sick family and my mailpeople have had to deal with my many many packages before and know to knock/ring the doorbell.

Just got my tracking number. Due on the second, and a 2.2 pounder, so I'm not getting anything super amazing I suppose, but the son and I will still open it with hopes and great amusement while my wife looks on with a look of disapproval =)

That was the dimensions given in the tracking info. I can't believe my mailman would leave boxes that big in front of my door.

Assuming the missing BOCs were stolen, and also assuming they contained a fairly standard pile of crap, one wonders what the thief's reaction was when the box was opened and the contents revealed.

"Hey look at the booty I swiped today!"
(sound effect: cardboard box being torn)
"What the f.....! Rub 'n' Color?? A cheap recycled bag?? A tiny little tee shirt?? I risked getting nabbed for this?"

My Bindle of Carrots is still in transit... and has been for the last 4 days. No update to the fedex tracking number page. It is stuck in Forest Park IL. Maybe I'll just drive and go get it.... I'm so bummed- my husband ordered one too and got his a week ago already!!

No problem Jeus. Can you believe it's been a year since you got that? You know what they say; time flies when you are in the fast lane*.

Hey there. I guess I was in lurk mode (possibly as a result of those posts). I did enjoy reading everyone's posts though, as always. There were some instant-classics, and that mod video was an excellent and unexpected resource.

Its now Saturday night, and it seems that almost all the Bags of Crap have arrived.

I had a question implant itself in my brain, so I did a bit of research. So far, there have been 232 bags announced here in the forum. Even allowing for a few more arrivals, it seems like less than 10% of the 2500 bag winners come here to tell the world about their crap.

90% of the crap remains mysterious.

You will never find out what wonderful items those bags may contain.

Ponder that.

That doesn't mean the rest of us aren't watching. I didn't post about my Crap because it was standard crap. I got the pack with Logitech wheel.

My bf's crap left Atlanta over a week ago and hasn't been seen since (much less delivered to his home, 1 hour north of Atlanta), so we're assuming it's been lost.

What should we do? Inform woot? Fedex? Cry?

Hey TPW, My Beginning of Creation seems to have been shorted a letter proclaiming a bounty of additional Crap! Please send one forthwith in order to rectify this gross injustice!

Or at least tell us someone got one and what they got.

Time to post my loot! I was out of town, so I had to wait a few extra days to open my box of amazing crap. I was very excited to have a few unique things this time! 15.6lbs

First the standards:
2 x black and white reusable tote bags
3 x Topsy Turvey Strawberry planters (these things seem like A LOT of work!)
1 x WS Woot Shirt - yellow/how to make Ramen noodles (my daughter LOVES it!)

And the semi unique things:
1 x Carrera RC Agent Black Retail value $87.99! Have not tested it yet, but my cat loves the box, so that alone is worth the 8 bucks!

1 x Ultimotion Swing Zone Original retail $74.99 on Amazon but you can get it new for under 20 now. Still pretty cool gift for some kids without a Wii!

No letter, but one of the better Bundle of Crops I have received! Thanks woot gods!

Crap commandment number one has been fulfilled! I finally got home and was able to open it.

1 - Small black and white polka dot bag.
1 - 5 Speaker mounting kit.
1 - Tabletop tripod
1 - Little blue Shamwow
1 - Big orange shamwow

I always need last second gift bags for the kid's friends birthday parties, and this bag is perfect. I've been wanting a little tripod, and you can always use more shamwows. No idea what I'll do with the speaker mounting kit.

Thanks woot! I know you didn't have to go out of your way on this, but it is one of the things that makes you site so much fun.

2 Topsy-Turvy Strawberry planters,
1 Fact or Crap Dare Game
1 kids shirt with a vampire, werewolf, etc.,
1 black and white polka dot bag
1 Eton Sound 100 radio--appears to be brand new and worth about $50 or $60.

Couldn't be happier... Thanks Woot!!!

wow, i experienced the EXACT SAME thing. I tracked my package and immediately was disappointed to see mine weighed 6 lbs. and more than 60% of people posting on here were saying theirs weighed at least 10 lbs. or more. I guess this is just me being used to having crappy luck but hey, I did buy a "bag of crahp" so I can't be too mad. Anyway I got:
3 rub n color activity kits (which stink by the way since I let my little cousin try it out)
a Woman's Small santa claus t-shirt
and the same exact iGo charger you got without any tips (which cost over $10 each for many of them)
and that wonderful polka dot recycled bag


Overall my first bag of crahp was indeed that, crappy crap and disappointing.

I'm still waiting for my bag. Apparently it went from my local post office (in MN) down to Des Moines, IA and still hasn't gotten there after 3 days.
Had this same thing happen the last time I got a Bundle of Crops Starting to wonder if someone either at my post office or Fedex hasn't figured out that it's a Bundle of Crops and decided to keep the bounty for themselves

Okay, so I've been away for the past 15 days. Just got back from a 1400-mile drive home from Northern Michigan. First stop was to pick up my mail (as my rent is "late" if I pay it tomorrow), and I see that the office has my wootoff box. The girl comes out of the parcel room, looks at me with my half-a-month's worth of mail, and says "Your package is huge." (Maybe I'm paraphrasing to my benefit, but you get the gist.) I ask for a bag for my mail and we go in the back door so that we can grab my package. (Okay, I'll stop.)

It is huge. And at 95ºF, it was a beast to lug back to my apartment. But lug it I did. And then I opened 'er up. From the label on the outside it appeared as if There. Were. Four. Items. (Ahem.)

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Unboxing from the top.

Apparently a Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter. (Wonder if it'd do tomatoes?)

Yep!

Well, yep, that's what it is. Not sure about the 'maters.

Digging deeper into the box...

Looks like a T-shirt, bag, and something underneath with foam endcaps...

It *is* a T-shirt!

Size small (Tall small?) probably appropriate for a 5-year old. (I have a niece that turned five on 7/30.)

Next up...

Some sort of black-and-white patterned bag.

Not too shabby...

Actually seems waterproof inside. Pretty skimpy in terms of weight, but likely perfect to take to the beach for your sunscreen and the like. Decent size, too.

And at the bottom?

It's an electronic device of some kind. Wrapped in plastic...

ABC Smoother SpaceSaver by Blendtec

I open up the manual and see the smallest size is 13A, 1500W. W. T. F. ?

Huge doesn't begin to describe this thing.

I intentionally shot from this angle to disguise its height.

Model ICB3 Smoother

Are these any good? (Checks google. $200 used as cheapest, $700 new, regularly priced at $1500. Made for bars and other such establishments. Holy. OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG PONIES!!. !

The whole haul

Yeah, the shirt fits the blender, which wouldn't fit in the bag (which comes up to the height of my futon matress in the background). Wowzers.

Thanks Woot! Happy belated Birthday.
