My 2.8lb box is expected on Wednesday... If I get 5 craps should I report it to the same place if I get 2 craps (or is excessive celebration allowed in the National Wootoff League)? This is way better than a $3 scratch-off ticket! Why? Losing in the Crap-o-derby still sends you home with your crapsolation prize!

CAN'T WAIT!

Expect woot to change the description next time so all you whiny whiners will have to find something else to whine about.

Easy to say for someone who got more than the minimum of the item description.

If you check your receipt, it says 3 Random Crap. It defaults everyone to 3 now. Woot isn't in the business of defrauding people, so to brush away people who have said they haven't received the proper number of craps that was written in the description is short-sighted.

That being said, at least people aren't getting bugs...

1. XL orange-yellow t-shirt
   
2. recycle bag
   
3. hulk button
   
4. snuggie blue with monkey heads.
   

That's it - I'm done with sweating the server hangs and crashes.

The B...O...C has completely lost its meaning and wonder for this Woot! customer. Have been unable to bag any Barrels of Crud for quite a long time. Now, I get two in a row but there's no joy.

Same as last, this time I received most of the same Dollar Store "party favors" the majority of Wooters successful in waiting out the system. My recent inventory consisted of 1 XL T-shirt, 1 Hulk Smash Button (w/pre-smashed driver CD], 1 Spitball Executive Decision Target set and 1 Recycled PET bag, for what? Except for the broken CD you can't really describe the contents as "c r a p" as it's all new product. I define parc (spelled backwards) as below:

What happened to the "real c r a p" from the olden Woot! days? Broken thingies that had a chance of being repaired? That sort of stuff? I remember one Wooter receiving an RCA (In-Focus) 61" DLP TV (didn't work, but...) and others had delivered to them more oddball goodies. It's the end of an era I suppose and more free time for me when I expect it's time for the "event" that brings this site to a halt.

So long Bee Oh Cee. Glad I knew ya when.

Interesting.
I felt the same way.
Took a multi-year break from even trying for them.

And now I'm back, at least for this one. Only time will tell whether someone gets something really interesting. I'm pretty sure it won't be me, though, since the weight and size of mine are clearly nowhere near unique.

Cruel, cruel woot monkeys...

There were both good and bad about the contents of my bag.

The good:

- It arrived a day early on Saturday instead of Monday
- Unlike my last two bags I did NOT get an HDMI cable
- I actually got 3 craps plus a bag unlike a lot of other people
- I got a 2 channel remote controlled helicopter

The bad:

- The helicopter was crap... Won't charge - probably a return from someone even though box looked new. And I was really excited about this one :-(

Total haul:

1 x 'Amazing Precise Control Helicopter' by Max Elegant (broken)
1 x Hulk USB Smash Button
1 x XL Fruit of the Loom T-Shirt - light blue
1 x Recycled Tote Bag

This bag had a lot of potential, but turned into a Bag of Cries when I found out the helicopter didn't work.

I received yesterday (the 30th):

2 XL Brown T's
2 Spitball Decision Making Pads
1 Hulk Smash Button (With warped software CD, but I managed to get it to read)
1 Red Duffle Bag

I'm pleased with everything, but has anyone gotten the Hulk Smash Button to work? I got the software to install and the drivers installed when I plugged in the button and I read and followed the instructions correctly, but I just can't seem to get the thing to work. Any help?

I have to say, despite the naysayers, this is probably the most promising one I've seen in awhile. Been sad to see that pretty much everyone has gotten the same thing the last few times. Mine comes in today and I can honestly say I have zero idea what's in it. That's exciting. :-)

Got my Bag of Cuuuuuute! yesterday (I was sick, so I didn't post right away). I am quite happy to say that colonelcrap listened to my request to include something for my soon-to-arrive daughter! That, or I just got lucky.

My bag: 1.8 lbs, 14 in. x 10.2 in. x 8.6 in.

Contents:
1 large pink Sigg bottle
1 small pink Sigg bottle
1 Hulk Smash USB button
1 crappy bag
3 bags of Texas air

As I see it, the small pink Sigg bottle is for when my daughter is a toddler; the large pink Sigg bottle is for when she is older (and has to smuggle booze into school, parties, and such); the Hulk Smash button is for when she brings home her first boyfriend; the crappy bag is for suffocating him; and the bags of Texas air... well, that's just for packaging, duh!

Thank you, Woot, for the thoughtful Bag of Cuuuuuute!.

Got my Barrels of Crud last night
4.1lb box
1x Hulk Smash USB Button
1x Skil Automatic Bit Changing Screwdriver
http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.V27794.tpl.detail
5x Navy Blue Duffle/Gym bags

Pretty happy with mine :-) GL to everyone else.

My 16.7 pound box came, and it was, well...I guess I got my money's worth.

I got:
-2 cards that play music
-1 House That Jack Built by Kotton Kandy (value of anywhere from ~$65 to ~$120)

It's a doll house, something that I cannot use but I can't really complain! I can regift it or something

Thanks, woot!

Pretty sad Bargain O' Century this time:

2 T-shirts, plain
1 Hulk Smash USB button
2 Spitball Dart Boards
I red nylon duffel bag.

Oh, for the days when I got 5 bluetooth headsets in one Barrels of Crud..

1) navy blue duffel bag
2) matching XL t-shirt
3) spytech night vision goggles (which I purchased several months ago)
4) a cafe bingo game
5) a penbino penguin toy
6) a set of 12 task clips with the words "sh**", "caca", "merde" and, appropriately, "crap" on them

Mine arrived today-- a day late and an item short?? (Lost my Barrels of Crud virginity)

1. Ultimotion White trash Wii
2. Small metal canister with lid. (Is the lid supposed to be the third item??? I have no idea.)
3. Recycled bag.

AND....4 bags of Texas Air and two deflated bags the Texas air escaped in transit.

Not unhappy. The canister is actually useful. :-P

My strangest and best Barrels of Crud ever.

1 Blue tot bag
1 Small red tupperware like box
8 Art Bell After Dark news letters (random issues from 1995 - 2000)
1 Kicker ZK350 (How did they know I have a brown Zune, oh... Art Bell)

1x Hulk Smash USB Button
1x Skil Automatic Bit Changing Screwdriver
1x kids science experiment kit (catching bugs, powder to make plaster molds of animal prints, etc.)
1x reusable bag

Not bad...

mine is expected on Thursday in CT. tracking said it got to Mass on Monday early morning and didn't leave there until over 24 hours later this morning, but now it says "In transit" in the town where I live.

I'm hoping I get a nice 2 day early surprise when I get home from work, but then again they could have it in transit to deliver to NY then back to MA then finally back to my town

I did not even think about that. I have a friend with access to silk screening equipment; I may have to make this happen.

Mine just arrived. First Barrels of Crud first Woot! purchase. Not an exciting haul, but I would buy again in a heartbeat.

1x blue duffel bag
1x merry christmas glass
1x poor man's wii

I emailed woot about my Barrels of Crud being an item short a few days ago. Just got a reply:
"Sorry your Barrels of Crud was shorted. Just like your boss, we’ll be sending more crap your way."
Woot customer service makes me happy.

Everything about woot! delights me as a customer. Yeah - I always hope for better crap than I get, but they're pretty awesome.

The copy is epic. The photos are quick to make me impulse buy... and the email I just got from service made me laugh out loud at work.

Keep up the good work - And send me some great crap next time!

Hey if anyone happens to get an Ipod touch charger in their Barrels of Crud could you PM me. That is the only thing that was missing in my Ipod touch that I got in my Barrels of Crud

Thanks
Mosh~~

7 pound box arrived this morning:

1 Atari Flashback 2+ (has been resealed so I suppose I should verify that it works, but looks in good shape)
1 Cafe Bingo game
1 Make it your creation dinnerware designer from Discovery Kids (ages 3+, so my daughter will have to wait 2 years and 54 weeks to play with it) (EDIT: by which I actually meant 50 weeks ... thanks szuccon1 ... I'm sure I'll wake up soon and remember numbers again)
1 blue-ish XL t-shirt
1 red duffel bag
1 (open) box of 20 Fuji AA batteries

The woot package itself was open, but given that there were still 20 batteries rolling around the bottom I think I probably didn't lose anything. Overall, feeling quite pleased this morning. The batteries alone pretty much cover the $8; the rest is just some good crappy gravy.

Guessing your daughter is due to be born in two weeks, congrats. I have four month old girl, its great fun, but I can't wait for her to walk and talk and play with me.

I think it would be easier and cheaper to just go buy one, almost every american with a job owns something that came with one of those chargers. Ask around, you probably have a friend with an extra.

I got
1-Ultimotion fake wii
1-Razer Pro Click Bluetooth mouse
1-Potty Emergency bag

8$ well spent.

D: Didn't show up today as the "On Schedule ETA" suggested! I don't know if I can last another day!

Did you try charging with the remote and USB cable? Mine won't charge with the USB cable but worked when I used the remote control.

Welp, I just picked mine up at the post office.

5.2 lbs, I received:

0 x bags of Texas Air
1 x red duffel bag
2 x XL t-shirts (ketchup and mustard)
1 x Hulk Smash USB button
3 x spitball dartboards

and

1 x Primula Earl Grey Flowering Tea gift canister

The tea would be awesome if it hadn't expired last year. But I will probably try it anyway.

My 2.3 lbs of Barrels of Crud
-Brown t-shirt
-Spitball game
-Thin Nylon Navy Dufflebag

hmm...

Ive seen a lot of people get this tea. They all seem to love it. One guy was desperately seeking to buy other peoples tea because he loved it so much.

Thanks - born 2 weeks ago - the kit will be age appropriate in another 2 years *50* weeks. Clearly I'm still over-tired. [sigh]

C R A P is what I have to say. I just checked my tracking and it is in my town but it is undeliverable!!!! Message says "Damaged, unable to deliver shipment - Please contact shipper/merchant for details". Who do I contact? You think I may get a litle something extra for my troubles?

Wow, your crap must be extremely crappy. You should feel honored.

Mine has not arrive yet, coming today...
it is 2.1 lbs. anyone else get one that weight?

Asked very kindly if I should be expecting one more item since I only received one bag and two craps. Received this response:

Sorry about that. We'll have a replacement Barrels of Crud sent to you.

4.6 lb bag of well, you know what. My haul included:

1 XL yellow shirt (looks big for XL)
1 M brown shirt
1 2011 Woot calendar (yes, 2011)
1 spitball dartboard deal
1 jack to go from headphone jack to rca jack on a stereo
20 AA fuji batteries (loose)
4 AAA fuji batteries (loose)
1 dinnerware designer (send a kid's drawing in and they'll put it on a plate)
4 bags of texas air
2 duffel bags

Really digging the batteries and the plate designer thing. I have a 3 year old, so it might get used sometime.

If it is actually listed as being at your local post office, you could try calling there or going there. A while back my Roboform accidentally replaced my street address with my name, so the PO had no idea where to deliver it to. Someone at my local PO actually managed to open a phone book and find my address. She called me and it was delivered after I confirmed that I had ordered from Woot.com. As long as it isn't some huge massive Post Office in a big city, I'd bet someone could help you get the package.

Update on my crappage (all I got was a bag and a t-shirt), I got the "boss sending me more crap" reply from customer service. I just hope they remember to get me 2 (or more) new pieces of crap since I got jipped more than most people.

I got:

(1) Musical anniversary card. I made the mistake of showing it to my wife 3 days before I could have used it for an anniversary of sorts.
(1) Hulk smash button.
(1) Navy blue tiny duffel bag.
(1) Night vision goggles. Except they were still in the return RMA box from the previous Wooter who returned them for not working. And inside was his order slip with his name, address, Woot ID, and email address. I don't think he would be pleased about that.

It looks like the box was cut open a little bit to see if the goggles were indeed inside, then it was chucked into my c-r-a.p box. I haven't bothered yet to see if they work. Overall, very strange.

1.8 lb box included

1 XL Yellow shirt
1 Hulk Smash USB button
1 plastic bag
torn tissue paper.

Well that was $8 well spent. Shorted 1 crap and 2 meh craps.
