Finally!! Got the email!! WooHoo!!

I'll bet that the reason the bunnies ogling carrots are back up in a sold out state is because Woot's software requires it to be able to approve/deny orders. Since the number of Woot's is dropping, I think they're manually going over the orders and killing the duplicates. This could take a while. Until they finish sorting it out, the Woot off is stalled. :-(

Denied 4 times, 2 CC and 2 paypal. I knew that it was to good to be true when it went right through.

Garrrr read the fine print. if your paypal is backed by a bank account it will not process, it has to be backed by a credit card or have $$ in it... Damn you last woot off that took all my $$$ and left me with only a bank account... missed that Bunnies Ogling Carrots

Now at 13252.

I noticed that too! At some point was 14500+ and every time I refreshed it got lower until it hit 13252 (now I know were my Bunnies Ogling Carrots went)

Funny, the main screen said 1400, not 14000. At any rate, I got one!! Thank you ColonelCrap and Woot Gods!

All of my "order processing" changed to "your order is NOT in".

Oh well. So who actually got one this time?

Worst Woot Off EVER Bunnies Ogling Carrots why do you mock me!!!

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

How come "Our Servers suck" isn't listed as one of the "possible problems"?

Total Woots: 13,252. Really, Woot? Really? I don't think so.

Is the bag of cráp really worth all the effort or is it a badge of honor around here?
Both?

Should be re-quoted for years to come!

Order page came up with all my credit card info missing. By the time I filled it all in it was too late.

Checked my account -- all is correctly on file.

If any of you are IT guys with massive multiserver experience, I'm betting there will be job openings....

I Got one yes only had to have 50 tabs open.

For all woot purchases or just crap?

Bitter, party of 1?! Bitter, Party of 1 your table is ready.

same here Order processing hold on!!! your order is NOT in.
possible problems with your order: Thanks woot for keeping me on the edge of my seat for 20 min thinking I finally got a Barrel of Crops!!!!

After waiting FOREVER, I finally received a confirmation email and its showing on my account page! I hope they don’t take it away... That would be devastating.

It's one thing to sell you a Barrel of Crops, but to dangle it in front of you and then take it away... that would be crappy.

after all that in for one
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finally woot has crap enough for every one?? or maybe the servers are actually fixed? who cares i ordered a total of 5 times and one went through apparently. wootalyzer and wootwatcher got denied which might explain the delay and final purchase going through on the woot.com site.

This is the first company I've seen which doesn't accept standard Paypal payments.

You need money in your Paypal account to purchase via Woot. That is pretty asinine. Paypal by itself does instant withdrawals from your linked bank account, but Woot for some reason has to be different from everything else, and now I miss out on my first bag.

*sigh*

Now, I in no way dislike Woot! I actually love this site, the people who work for Woot! and many of you in the community. However, this odd and quasi-frustrating experience has dissuaded me from wanting to try again for the coveted Barking Orderly Commander. I dare say I might not look at Woot!s page for awhile until the sting fades. I liked the mad dash. I liked the comfort in knowing that at least if the order didn't go through that it was over and I missed another one, but the weirdness... not so much fun

Has anyone who received a confirmation email had their order since deleted from their accounts? I never even got one, but I'm wondering if Woot is also going to screw over people who successfully got through.

Botched Order Conspiracy...

order is NOT in after multiple same errors and a 20 minute straight wait...fun.

well I crapped out again...

Closest I ever got to the we got your order in page then it crashed an dno email no crapola listed in my account

Been trying since 2008 now

It was in my account, and has since been removed

OMGosh just got an email confirmation, after sooo many failed attempts, my first Bag o C.

I love woot again. Sorry for hating you.

13000 woots? If that's true the crap will be way crappier than usual. Shame.

WOW !!!!!!!! First Bunnies Ogling Carrots !!! Thanks WOOT !!!! CANNOT WAIT

20 times - order not in. grrr. 'puter and smartphone.

sadness.

all day.

Why won't Woot take my money? I tried to give them money so many times. Hopefully there's another Bunnies Ogling Carrots later today! I will not give up hope.

So, we're up to 13k bags of chaluparum. Don't they usually only do about 3k?

I hope they have enough bags & crap to put in the bags.

I was on the PC and phone with 2 in the bag. Like everyone else, white screen. As usual the crap is their server. Sometimes I think they've been hacked and someone's just getting my cc or paypal acct.

Well, with every window that I had up telling me that I was denied I suddenly find an email receipt telling me that I got one. I really don't remember a possibly-successful timeout that occurred before the first "denied" message.

I assume that Woot has this set up as one item (with a single forum) so that you can still buy only one. If this is true, then this is eight in a row for me and 14 overall.

I seriously dislike this new method of splitting these up and hope they return to the old method soon.

Hmm... maybe that was why mine never finished processing at several points today, though I never got any indication one way or the other. I know that my PP acct never has funds in it, and I use the instant withdrawal as you describe.

So funny how everyone complains

its woot! a million people want a Bunnies Ogling Carrots

Its always a crazy fun experience!

I'm going to sit in the corner and pout. I thought I was golden...then the same error message as all of the rest.

Too early for April Fool's...

Got one!

And refurbished anorexic Dyson-on-a-stick things. And other Dysons. And all those other tablets, too.
