I have the exact same dimensions and weights as you. Got my emails overnight.

Final wave of crap, 2 emails. 19.7 lbs and 1 lb. Arrival of larger May 9 and smaller May 10. So excited! Ordered a separate monkey and he should arrive today!!

Well mine now BOTH show having "departed" dallas, so I'll find out one way or another, but there definitely has to be two...

Won't be able to open them until Friday though =(.

Dimensions of the first are still 2.7, 12x9.6x9.2

And of the second, still 1lb place holder with 6.93^3


Maybe the second box REALLY IS a perfect cube? Would be amusing!

See, they sent me the 3x maroon shirt, last time around. I live in Austin. Jokers.

Fun fun! 2 tracking numbers as well... First one is a 1 lb x7x7 box, the second is 27.9 lbs at 21.6 x 21.5 x 20.7!!!

Oh, my Galaxy!, my Bundles of Clones has left Houston already. What the Force is up with that? Now I'll be compulsively checking for tracking updates today and tomorrow right up until the mail carrier doesn't deliver.

So much for my plan to study for finals this weekend!

10.4 lbs 54.2 in. x 16 in. x 10.7 in.

Anyone know how accurate the dimensions are?
This is one long box.

I hope you golf.

My package has left Dallas and is on its way to the Midwest. Happy travels little Brick of Carbonite. See you next week.

Only have one package coming but it does weigh 20.7 pounds. Hopefully it isn't car wax.

Hmm, intriguing :tounge:

....2.8lbs and 1.0 lbs. Sort of wish i had one of those 14 pounders!

last night i had a dream that i received a portable washing machine.

anyone know of a 1 lb, 9.77 x 9.77 x 9.77 portable washing machine?

I've been giving my nieces monkeys for a while. I think my sister-in-law would prefer that I didn't. They've each got two giants, one keychain, and probably 15-20 plain.

They expect them when I visit.

I had a dream that my first crap was one flavor of Ben and Jerry's.
And the second box was another.

And I couldn't get over how they kept it frozen...

imjoshsizemore wrote:Does anyone else have no actual weights yet? Both my boxes 1.0 lbs with 6.93 cubic inch dimensions

My second one is 6.93 inches cubed, which is 333 cubic inches. 6.93 cubic inches isn't enough space to stick a label.

Mine updated, 2.8 pounds, single shipment. Looks like I am getting the standard this time around.

Both of mine now show that information has been sent to the US Postal Service and that the packages have left FedEx. However both still show he 1lb and 6.93 cubed dimensions.

Does anyone else still have both packages at the placeholder size and weight?

Supposed to be delivered Monday, I can't wait!!

Let's not rule out the possibility that they're 1 lb, 7" cubed boxes. The Colonel is up to something.

2 packages on the way as well. Both have departed Fedex location in Dallas, TX. One is for 5.8 lbs and the other is 1 lbs.

How do I find out the dimensions? I cannot seem to locate them on the website.

Thanks for the Link!

Found the Dimensions.

Package 1 - 5.8 lbs, 16in.x12.2in.x10.6 in.
Package 2 - 1 lbs, 6.93in.x6.93in.x6.93in.

Now that we are 24 hours past the final shot at the prized bag, I am here to say "hi". Luckily not empty-handed either!

I know it's already been posted here a few times, but I have to post my official version of Smart Post primer at once. Unfortunately I will not have chance to post it later in the week, when shipping is supposed to begin, because I am going to be away from civilization for a while (but hopefully back for the unboxing. So posting it unusually early.

And here we go:


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
FedEx SmartPost primer for newcomers, and a reminder for the rest of Wooters (v. 1.6.1)

1. Before the tracking information shows up: Sometimes Woot is not e-mailing the tracking numbers until a few days after the packages are shipped. You can try and get the number by reference, by going to https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking?cntry_code=us and entering these three things: Your Woot order number goes to reference numbers box, select United States in destination country drop down, and Your Zip Code in a respective box. It's important to get all three pieces. Keep refreshing it, and if you're lucky, the tracking number will pop-up before the official e-mail comes. It doesn't ALWAYS work, but there's a good chance. Note, that if you've made multiple orders from Woot, you can enter several order numbers into the reference box, one per line.

1.1 A small tracking by reference tip: At first when you enter the tracking information your tracking page will be loaded by POST request. That means all data you entered is sent to server through internal fields. Each time you refresh you'd have to agree to repeat the POST operation, and you can't bookmark or transfer the link to another computer/smartphone/etc. However - if you press a purple RESUBMIT button below your results, it will change the request to GET, so that all information you entered will show up in a URL and you can now F5 it as many times as you want without further steps, make bookmarks or e-mail the link to self (or others).

1.2 If your weight shows as 1lb, it is most likely a placeholder, which will be replaced by more accurate weight once the package actually starts moving (or reaches a sorting station - see below). The dimensions will probably show as NA/NA/NA on those placeholder packages. Some people have reported packages showing as 1lb all the way until delivery, but turned out to be anything but, though there's always a slight chance that your package actually is a 1 pounder. So you never know.

1.3 To make it even more frustrating - the actual fact that you can track by reference, but if it shows as a 1lb with status Shipment information sent to FedEx does not yet mean the package actually shipped or even exists. All it means - a label which will eventually be attached to your package has been printed. It may be a few days before your beloved box will actually hit the road. Patience is the key here!

1.4 So how do we know for sure that BоC's are out? Keep looking through this thread, and you may spot a post by colonelcrap or occasionally by another Woot staff member (identified as such by a small icon next to their name), stating that all packages are shipped. Sometimes it will take FedEx a while before they show up or update, but once it's said here on the forum, you can be sure that they are out! Also keep an eye open for updates by colonelcrap and other staff members posts announcing the crаp status changes, possible shipping delays or otherwise!

1.5 Some wooters report being able to track, but not me! Am I screwed? No, you are not. The tracking numbers don't get into the system all at once. The track by reference starts working when FedEx receives your package info from Woot. They send them in batches, and if someone has a reference hit, does not mean everyone gets it at the same time. Sometimes it's days between batches are sent, and sometimes electronic info on some or all packages is not sent at all, which means not trackable by reference until it arrives (even if trackable by actual tracking number received from Woot). The actual tracking information (if you have tracking e-mail sent to you or it shows up on your order page) gets updated as the package is actually scanned at FedEx location. Provided that Woot ships them by truckload, it may not be instant at all, nor they will appear all at once. Sometimes it's not 'til the next day when you see it live, even if there are others that got scanned early in the game. Remember, if colonelcrap said that all packages are out - they are. It may take some time for them to go live, a day or two between first reported trackable package until the last one shows up in a system is not unusual...

2. To get the dimensions you need to create My FedEx account (no charge, and you don't have to give them cc number if you don't want to): http://my.fedex.com/ and make sure to switch to new or advanced version. Enter your tracking number, and the dimensions will pop...

2.1 Another way to get dimensions: If you have problems with My FedEx site, or just to make things easier - you can also download a very convenient FedEx Desktop application. It uses the same log-in credentials as your My FedEx account (you'd still need to have one), and tracks the same packages right from your desktop, without the browser.

3. Don't get too excited. For the first few days most people will probably have some sort of cubed dimensions. This is because in the beginning the dimensions are not real. They are guesstimated by FedEx based on weight (which may or may not be accurate). Here's the famous formula for you to check:

SIDE = ( 330 * WEIGHT ) ^ (1/3)
(side in inches, weight in lbs)

If it matches your dimensions to a few tenths of an inch - you know they are not real. That's for smaller packages. Those over 15lbs would always have the "dimensions" of a 15lbs package (or was it 16)... Again not real...

4. Once your package passed a sorting station - the updated weight and real dimensions may show up. Usually that's the first or second stop it makes after Dallas. In my case (North-East) in either Martinsburg, WV or at Kansas City, KS (I am yet to understand the logic SmartPost uses in sending the packages one route or the other), for many others it's New Berlin, WI or another major SmartPost hub. In some cases actual weighting/measuring may not take place even at the SECOND hub... or ever...

5. USPS Handoff: Once the package is reported to have passed a city near you - start tracking it on http://www.usps.com/, because that's who's delivering it to your door, and once the package is handed over by FedEx, they will have more up to date information. Do make sure that you track by actual tracking number (it will show up if you got a hit with reference tracking), because USPS does not track by reference. A thing to note - when handed over to USPS, FedEx always says a standard "allow 2-3 for business days for delivery". This is a standard message, and if your USPS facility is efficient enough, you may get it delivered as soon as the day of handoff (if it happened early enough).

5.1. USPS is not delivering for a few days after supposed handoff. Compliments go to the budget cuts and staff shortage at your local post office, as per a post by snaped, who claims to know the situation first hand: the pallets of SmartPost packages are handled at the lowest priority, after all other mail has been processed. So if your post office is a bit short on staff or overwhelmed with other mail (holiday seasons especially) it may well sit unsorted for a few days, after which their status is raised to priority and they finally get sorted and delivered. In my personal experience, I've seen them delivered the same day or as much as a full week late (that happened with non-woot package I was expecting around Christmas).

Good luck to all waiting for their hauls, and let the Woot Gods bless you with some amazing crаps!

Yes. I am in the exact same situation, so no worries. Although mine won't be delivered until the 10th or 11th...

If anyone is curious as to what the size of their boxes are in comparison to other things, you can use http://www.sizeasy.com/

Its very odd that the second shipment's are all at 1lb.

Makes it feel like its not a real shipment.

6 lbs
14" x 10.2" x 8.6"

Expected delivery of the 7th to the Minneapolis area.

Looks like mine is only 2.8 lbs and 12.2 in. x 9.6 in. x 9.2 in. They seem to get lighter and smaller each time... (and it doesn't seem to be a good thing.)

It means they are Probably really heavy. My guess is televisions or something.

disregard this post

babboa wrote:disregard this post

You dont tell me what to do!!!! Now i'm going to regard the crap out of this post.

I got mine in the last round
2 emails - 2 tracking # - 2 delivery dates
Box #1: 3.3 lbs 12x9.5x9.4
Box #2: 1.0 lbs 6.93x6.93x6.93
arrived at FedEx, Dallas on different days, departed on the same day

and the waiting & anticipation continues...

When it was shipped, my BeeOhSee weighed 3.1 lbs. As it has journeyed to my door, it's dropped to a 1 lb placeholder. It's nearly here and still tipping the scales at a measly 1 lb. in a perfectly sized 10 x 10 x 10 box.

Apparently the poor little bugger has lost weight in transit...after all, it's been pretty hot and the back of those fedex trucks can be like a sauna this time of year.

Unless, of course, it's a letter....

Got my tracking info last night, one shipment is showing 11.2lbs and 29.7 in. x 24.5 in. x 6.4 in.

The other is the 1lb ~7in. cube that so many seem to have...

What a rollercoaster this Bundles of Clones has been...first exremely excited that I got two tracking numbers (special crapz?!) then a little deflated when I found out my super special double crap wasn't as special as I had first thought and maybe not even special at all! Now on to the tentative excitement of thinking the second crap isn't a phantom after all!

Okay so after finding the dimensions mine are...

4.2 pounds, 14 in. x 10.2 in. x 8.6 in.
not too big aww but good things come in small packages... hopefully

and the other is the 1 pound thing still

Mine is the exact same. I guess we got the same thing. The 1 pound box that everyone has is throwing me for a loop. This is actually kind of exciting.

Wow, I thought my 32x13x12 box was odd. 54 is special.

Okay just got my screaming monkeys. I have a question though, why are the tracking numbers with FedEx when it seems to always come by USPS? Both the glow sticks and the monkeys came by my regular mail man, I wasn't here but I think the speakers I got actually came by FedEx
