When did you Woot stop sealing boxes? Mine arrived open today with no evidence that anyone ever taped it shut.

It contained a picnic set/backpack, two t-shirts a duffle bag, task clips and cafe bingo. A nice haul, but I wonder what might have been pilfered from the box before I received it.

That was cruel.

Hey boCrappy winners!

With precision aim, they were able to hit my house in Atlanta!

Here's my catch from Woot's Crap chute!


4.7lb

1x T-Shirt XL - green
1x Duffel Bag - blue
1x Spitball Dart Pad
1x Cafe Bingo
1x Fuji AA batteries - 20 pack
1x Hulk Smash Button
1x Blood Pressure Monitor (wrist)

The crappy item was the blood pressure monitor... Either I'm a zombie (and my coworkers) or it has a busted sensor...

Thank you Woot!! Looking forward to another smash and grab soon!!

It didn't come with a usb cable, and from the instructions it doesn't look like there ever was one. It's just a tiny 2-channel one.

The red power led on the remote comes on when I turn it on, but I can never get the green charging led to come on regardless of what I do.

Did I mention how disappointed I am :-( I guess I could take my Hulk USB smash button and actually go Hulk on it - maybe that will make me feel better :-)

My 4.7lb showed up today!

- 1 red duffel bag
- 1 spitball dart-pad
- 1 cafe bingo
- 1 sealed pack of 20 AA batteries
- 1 XL mustard t-shirt
- 1 box of a hell of a lot of glow sticks
- 14 bags of TX air (I hope they don't run out!)

The box showed up looking like it was attacked by some kind of box attacking animal/robot/alien. Sides were caved in and it was half smushed. Luckily everything inside was immune to damage. Not a bad haul for $8!

My Bag of Cute is out for delivery today...

Dimmensions: 27.7 in. x 20 in. x 12.8 in.
Weight: 14.9 Lbs.

I can hardly wait for it to arrive; but, 2 of my friends who also recieved Barrels of Crud#39;s called for a Crap opening party. Even if I get the Barrels of Crud I can't touch it until they're off work.

2.7lbs Bargain Of the Century hath arrived!

Opening the box as I write...

The reveal:

1x Jerzees XL plain brown t-shirt
1x Fruit of the Loom XL plain teal t-shirt
1x Hulk USB Smash Button
1x Ziploc bag of 5 plastic barnyard animals
1x RPET Recycled Tote Bag

While no bags-of-air there are a few tasty scraps of tissue paper.

This Crap giveth as I actually really needed a plain brown XL t-shirt to wear under another shirt my wife bought for me.

Thanks W00T!

Bigtom2000 wrote:Mine has not arrive yet, coming today...
it is 2.1 lbs. anyone else get one that weight?

Yup, I got 1x cammo snuggie, 1x hulk smash button, 9x bags of texas air, 1x small green & black bag.

I missed out on this one, and was initially upset about that.. Col. Crap claimed that he would bring salvation to the masses, promising no more cookie cutter Barrels of Crud#39;s, and no shorted bags either. I was SO looking forward to a return of the 'old' woot, and disappointed when I couldn't get in on the Colonel's inaugural Bag.

Sadly, it appears that he failed to deliver... While there IS more variety this time out, there is also an awful lot of "me too" going on here. I've also seen a number of you with 1 or 2 craps, and maybe more of you with 5 or 6.

So now, I don't imagine I'll be sitting in front of my PC waiting for the Random bag to appear during woot-offs, nor will I be waiting until 1AM Eastern on April Fools Day, Christmas or woot's birthday to jump on a Bag.

For me, woot has lost it's lustre.. Sorry to say, you've become what your imitators are instead of what they wanted to be.

Arrived today (day Early):

Online dimensions: 14x10.2x8.6 2.1 LB
Actual dimensions: 14x10x8 2 Lb .9 Ounces

So score one for FedEx being accurate.

Received:
1 - Brown plain XL t-shirt
1 - Discovery Kids Dinnerware Designer Kit
1 - Cheap thin black duffel bag.

Sent an email asking for refund or third crap to be sent. Also included a number of how to count videos and fun counting activities that I encouraged them to share/do with their warehouse staff.

Got my 2.6 pounder today. It actually has two things that I will use!

1 - Recycled PET Tote Bag "Perfect for lunches, gift bags, carry alls. Fun!"

1 - Kelty Camp Carrier - http://www.amazon.com/Kelty-Camp-Carton-2d-Vine/dp/B0031SIBF4 - I will probably get some use out of it.

1 - obnoxious yellow T shirt w/ no graphics. It is my size and will be a perfect crappy shirt for working out.

1 - Hulk USB Smash Button

1 - Tiny blue plastic bead from something that is not included in my box.

I'm another one who wrote in about the Crap Shortage and got the "Boss Message". Woo Hoo, they are making it right!

Thanks Kam!

Now I'll go back to sweating out the phone interview at 330 today. (Damn that clock on the wall is LOUD!)

3.4lbs of crap made it's way to Cincinnati today.

1 Jamba Juice smoothie maker that runs on C batteries. XD
http://www.amazon.com/EZ-2-Make-Jamba-Juice-Smoothie-Maker/dp/B0030CC0ZI

1 red duffle bag

Not sure if the smoothie maker works as I don't have any C batteries around ATM but the reviews look promising... LOL.

Looks like I'm short 2 craps like some other people.

My 9.7 enormous box just arrived!

3 Fruit of the Loom t-shirts in a rainbow of hideous colors - maroon, gold and green.

1 Cafe Bingo Game

1 Spitball Dartpad

1 Cozy 'n Comfy Body blanket in baby poo green

1 20 pack of Fuji AA batteries

1 Hulk USB Smash Button

1 Spynet Night Vision Goggles

I am stoked the woot gods spread their wealth of crap on me. I got a roomba once in a Barrels of Crud and that was pretty awesome, but this was a stellar Bag of Cuuuuuute!.

Well My 6.3 lbs of Barrels of Crud goodness has finally arrived and while there is nothing too exciting in it, I have to say that after reading all the posts, it looks to me like ColonelCrap is making progress, sure there are duplicate bags, and there are a lot of 2 crap bags, but you must admit that things are more random and wacky then they have been.

Way to go ColonelCrap. Keep fighting the good fight

My Barrels of Crud
1 Yellow t-shirt
1 maroon t-shirt
2 spitball decisions dart pads
Pathwords Word finder scrabbley game thingy
5 count em 5 red duffel bags.

THANKS WOOT

I got mine today damaged 7 pounds . Lucky the delivered it but it is missing things . It looks like someone opened the box and took things out.
I am contacting woot gods about it,Mine had 1 item and no wott air at all!!!

flayer138 wrote:Looks like I'm short 2 craps like some other people.

Well, at least your one and only crap wasn't a plain poo brown t-shirt like mine was.

My box of crustaceans arrived yesterday--surprisingly early! Nothing terribly exciting or out of the ordinary, but the wait and anticipation is most of the fun!

1x recycled tote bag
1x spitball dartboard
1x Hulk USB Smash button--looks new, but into the dice game bag it goes
1x XL teal FTL t-shirt--hubby liked it so that makes it all worthwhile

Thanks woot!

I received my woot crap today It was damaged lucky delivery person wrote it up as damaged
and there was 1 item in the box a Sonic Crafter
missing parts but seems to work.
My box was 7.1 pounds so must have had more stuff as there also was no WOOT AIR in the box.
I contacted woot and told them I am a disabled vet and got lucky to get tru while I was in the hospital . I guess at that point woot gods was on my side.

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

There with ya!

Checked My FedEx and they moved my ETA to tomorrow. I just hope my 7.8lbs of crap makes it in one piece.

Well, I got a happy message back from Kam at WOOT about being shorted one item, saying "Sorry your Barrels of Crud was shorted. Just like your boss, we’ll be sending more crap your way."

Thanks Kam - you must know my boss!

Just got mine!

My crappy video

Here is the haul:

Here is the cat:

Here was the surprise:

I see that the spitball dart boards are actually books of targets, making them less unsanitary(?).
FedEx said it was 6.3lbs but it felt heavier.

Pictures and video taken with my W00T Galaxy WiFi 5" Android. Same device where I scored the Barrels of Crud in the first place.

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

Go for, it may give you super powers.

We got roughly the same haul and even more important, your cats look similar.

Got my 4.8lb box today:

1 Navy Blue gym bag
1 Cafe Bingo game
1 Spitball Dartboard
1 XL Burnt Orange Fruit of the Loom T-Shirt
1 Sky Blue w/ Monkey Faces Snuggie!

WOOOOO! A MONKEY SNUGGIE!

mikebbass wrote:We got roughly the same haul and even more important, your cats look similar.

Found my sister bag!
But similar cat? that's creepy.

Got my Barrels of Crud

1xHulk Smash
2xXL T-shirts (which will be nice for around the house)
1xRecycled Bag
2xLock & Lock Tupperware.

The last are totally bizarre, but totally awesome. Much happier than last time!

Oh, and my Hulk Smash CD was broken. Anyone know where I could get the software?

With precisely 3 craps and a bag, my box was official and basic:

1 - Telescopic old-school radio antenna
1 - Easy Bake Deluxe Delights Cake & Cookie Kit
1 - Hulk USB Smash Button
1 - RPET Recycled Tote Bag

4 - Unsafe pillow/child flotation devices

2 craps and a bag. Shorted one crap, like many other Wooters.

1x poor man's Wii
1x Core Balance wristband, size small, allegedly will enhance my balance, strength, and flexibility! (ETA: It's not magnetic—it has a sticker on it that supposedly embeds wavebands at specific frequencies or something. The sticker looks like the one on my driver's license.)
1x red duffel bag

Box listed as 4.4 pounds—and had more tape on it than I've ever seen on a Woot box.

On the upside, even though Woot owes me a crap, they did ship this crap a lot faster than all of my previous craps!

Got my 7.9 lb Barrels of Crud yesterday:

1x Procrastination style spitball dartboard
1x Ghetto Wii
1x Plate drawing kit
1x Mustard colored XL shirt
20 or so loose batteries 2 are AAA the rest are AA
1x Navy blue duffle bag
18x Bags of Air

Not bad for my first haul.

1 duffle bag
1 woot monkey cape (no monkey)
1 kids carry along mp3 player in box (broken)
1 wii knock off

Probably the best Barrels of Crud I've ever got.

Reading what everyone got, I'm guessing this time Woot actually made money selling the BofC.

I got myself a pretty good haul...

8.1 lbs
14.2 x 10.5 x 8.6

1) 5 x Plain XL T-shirts in a variety of colors

2) Altec Lansing earphones

3) Stanley Utility Travel Mug

4) 36 pack of Nike One golf balls (should nicely complement the box I wooted a few months ago)

5) And of course, a generic black duffel bag. Seems to be sized perfectly to stuff full of cash.

Everything I got will be of use to me. Might be a first time ever for a Bag of Cuuuuuute!. Well, off to the bank...

Thanks Woot!

My Big Old Cousin arrived today carrying
- 1 Rust color t-shirt
- 1 Yellow color t-shirt
- 1 Spitball Dartpad
- 1 Blue Dufflebag

Happy I was even chosen, but not sure if I would count the shirts as 2 craps. Any internet fake attorney starting a Class Action Crap Counting lawsuit? Otherwise I'll just be content with my contents.

Note: Read instructions on back of dartboard. Toilet paper is not recommended. Glad I saw that before a catastrophe ensued.

Same here, except bag is red, batteries are AAA, and instead of blood pressure monitor, an unbroken box of whiskey stones.

And I have previously purchased three Iron Man USB buttons and three sets of whiskey stones. The unprinted T-shirt wasn't a duplicate of any of the T-shirt packs I had bought previously.

I'll get the most use out of the shirt and second the batteries. I'd have to open a new bottle of whiskey for the stones.

I picked it up at the post office Saturday as it was set to be delivered to my workplace which is closed on Saturdays.

Just got my 1.9 pounder

1 crappy shirt
1 crappy bag
1 crappy spitboard

Join me in today's session of Into The Mind of the Post Office.

"It's still on schedule if we push back the delivery date! BWAHAHAHAHA!" *Thunder Clap*

That concludes today's glimpse Into The Mind of the Post Office.

...Meanwhile...In Virginia...

Me, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

Just got my 3.1 lb

- Swiss Gear Oasis Technical 2-Liter Hydration Pack

- flower bag

- XL red shirt

Hello fellow Wooters! Happy to report that Woot Gods have smiled upon me, and just like in old times sent me a unique item, that I guess qualifies under "broken electronics that you can easily fix" category!

Here's the rundown:

9.8lbs at 18x12.6x12.5 inches (as per FedEx, didn't recheck but it looks about right)

The usual:

• 1 x Genuine Woot Box in pristine condition
  
• 4 x Bags of Texas Air also intact.
  
• 1 x Navy Blue duffel bag - bag requirement fulfilled
  
• 1 x Navy Blue shirt - matching the bag color
  
• 1 x Spitball Dartboard - "Enemy" style
  
• 1 x Cafe Bingo game - crappy as promised
  

Thus makes a bag and the three craps.

And last but not least the creme de crop item

• 1 x LumiSource Rock Show Venue with Microphone - Obviously a return. Missing the AV cord as per "what's in the box" description and lacks any kind of packaging material or a manual, which is not listed in description either, but took me 20 seconds to google one up in PDF format.
  

The mandatory "crappy" picture (it's crap being pictured after all).


The cable that connects the two speakers together had all pins bended to certain degree (three of them very badly smashed against the sides):



I guess somebody tried to force the connection in a wrong way, failed at that and returned the whole thing as defective. After straightening the pins up the unit works just like advertised: pretty crappy sound, but cool lights and karaoke effects are great!

Ok, it's not a 60" HDTV, or a coveted "letter" but it was a unique item. When I was about the age of my daughter, I would've killed for something like this. Today it's a few decades too late for me, but I'm sure the kids will appreciate (perhaps not to the extent I would have back in the days)!

All in all it does look like colonelcrap is up to a good start! Please do cut him a slack - it's his first real battle on the Woot front! And it does look promising. Yes, some of the troops at the warehouse had counting issues, but those who politely asked Woot to fix them instead of whining are getting it right. There is a whole bunch of useless electronics sent out. I do remember the "old days" and I don't remember anyone complaining "Damn you, Woot, I got a bunch of sansa's like everyone else - can't you send something unique?". Do remember that you ordered CRАP, and that's what you are getting. If back in the days Woot picked up a truckload of returned Sansa's from Tigerdirect or elsewhere to send out as craps, it does not mean they are going to buy brand new ones for you this round. This time around it's the undersold Wii wannabes that they got their hands on...

I know some will say it's easy for me to say that, because I wasn't shorted and got a cool item, but keep in mind - I've gotten all kinds of craps in the past (this is my number 22). From completely generic to some very cool unique items. I've been shorted a crap in the past as well. But I never complained.

Remember folks - if you want something of value: just buy it! If you order crаp, expect to receive what you ordered, and anything really cool in your box is an extra prize for you! Not the other way around!

So once again thank you Woot for the load! And thank you ColonerCrap, sir, for doing a good job! Keep it up!
