whew! what a hassle!

but, yay! finally got some crap!

Yay crap! I'm in for it and now to play the waiting game. Hopefully it'll be better than the last two though. I want things that need poowwwwerrrr!

processing... processing... processing...

DENIED

"your order is NOT in.
possible problems with your order:

Order denied.
We're sold out of the item or we don't have enough quantity to complete your order."

I never did get to the confirmation page, but I got the confirmation email!!! My first Bounty of Candycorn!!! Yay!!!

I got your order is processing but i don't think i got one.i will update if i find out different.

holy rusted metal batman!!
second lifetime Box of Cobwebs first in 3 years!!
woo hoo!!
THANK YOU WOOT!!

I stuck with it diligently for over an hour, and maybe less than a minute before it sold out, my order went through! It was so close, I thought I may have been the Wooter to blame for the sellout, but apparently not. I didn't believe it even went through till I got my order confirmation email. Yay!!!

Nice to see 500 people swung over to the forums to brag, rather than, y'know, clear off and let someone else get their order in. Thanks, guys.

What a waste of an hour. It would have been much simpler had it sold out in 5 minutes, instead of sticking around for so long. Oh well.

Yeah I got the order to go to "processing" so now I'm on "check email and account history" watch for some sort of confirmation. Fingers crossed!

Got one! 2nd one ever, stoked!

and again I get stuck on the confirm purchase screen and then routed to an error sold out after 20 mins... server upgrade?

Not fair! I get to the order page and put in cc info and hit the gold button, then it takes forever and times out saying IE couldn't display the page. Refresh & repeat a few times until it finally just tells me it sold out! At the very lease if I make it to the order page I should be able to order I want my Bucket of Candycorn

and I am STILL on the check out paging confirming my order after i pressed that stupidly large button...pretty sure I'm not gonna get it

It used to be, but not any longer. After getting mine I told a co-worker about the alternate site trick and he got through without a single retry (but a little slow) on any screen. Then after he got his another co-worker came in (carrying his two new T-Mobile Galaxy S 2 phones) and he got his the same way. Mine required two retries.

3 times i clicked buy it, and all 3 times it took me back to the main site....so far, my account info is without a barrage of candy....ahh so close...but i did get the september one...that was real crap...but its the risk that makes it so fun...congrats to those who got through!

That is so much the truth. The more people crowing on the board, the less chance for the rest of us. Thanks a lot, people!

Got 1!
Thanks Woot!

mine was a level 9?

Today is a day of personal victory, as I got my first every Box of Cobwebs

CRAP IS MINE

Got to the end at least six times during that fiasco. 15 times to "yes info is correct", six times got to click "buy it"...wait.........wait.........connection reset. Over and over again. Awesome. Wasted 30 minutes trying to buy.

Thanks Woot... send me something good!

let me get all the way to putting in my card info and noting...4 times!! looks like i'll never get my Bucket of Candycorn

I never got past the confirm page, but lucky me, just got the confirmation email!!!

Ordered within 15 seconds of start, couldn't get past ordering screen for over an hour here in the midwest. 5 order screens = no crap. :-(

Just got my email confirmation for Box of Cobwebs #7. That's 3 in a row for me. I'm on a crappy roll. Lol.

(However, I will admit that the previous 2 were indeed very crappy, so my hopes are not too high for this one. But hey, it's the thrill of the hunt, right?)

Same here. Something is certainly rotten in wootmark. I did see a lot of first timers winning and remember that woot posted something surrounding the last woot off that explained they had begun running some program that only allowed certain members through but I don't know what the criteria was. If it truly is to share the wealth, why not send an email so those of us not on the preferred list don't waste time?

Woohoo!! Got my first ever Bushels of Coriander!!! *does happy dance*

I got to the big gold button to buy. TWICE!!! and both times it timed out. :- ( NO confirmation . Boo

Indeed..the first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

in for my first!!! thank you woot gods!!!

Never got the order confirmation page but I got a confirmation e-mail and right before it sold out. Didnt cheat to get it either. That's 3 Box of Cobwebs since April 1st :D

Yep, got 3 Buy It Now's---->Your Order is In----> Your order was DENIED! 3!!! Tease.

Confused - I got charged but never got the confirmation page. My account page doesn't say anything about a bundle of carrots yet...

After almost 4 years of trying I finally got a bag of poop!

Woot! Got a Big Ol' Cherry! Woot!

Just missed it this time. Got the farthest along the chain then ever before though. Clicked the "Buy it" button on the info is correct page, but no email.

Got one.

No they didn't. I still sat while woot thought about things for an hour after telling me everything was ready it timed out on confirmation...

I suspect I didn't get one again. I saw the order confirmed page 3 times, which should not be possible right? One set of bags per customer as I understand it.
At least in the past the Box of Cobwebs would be over and done with quickly. Now it's taking the better part of an hour to find out I got nothing as opposed to 2 minutes.

Oh well.

3 bags, eh? Thanks for being kind and giving others a chance to get some. This shouldn't make me angry, but after sitting and refreshing and waiting an hour to not get one, coming on here and hearing you got THREE just makes you a sucky person.

Arrgh! Foiled Again!

I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!
