I think they did that with the Voice Buddy 3.0 Interactive Game Control. It was supposed to come with some nice headphones so everyone snatched them up. When they started arriving this past week-NO HEADPHONES!! APRIL FOOLS! Here is what the item description said about the headphones--> "There’s even an AudioFX force feedback headset included, in case you haven’t shoplifted your own yet." I was really looking forward to the headphones. At least woot! RMA is making it right...

I press F5 for updates.
When will Woot! ship you?

Does the mad rush of pressing your F5 100 times a second work on FedEx? I guess they aren't at eager to ship Brainwashed Orangutan Commandos as we are to buy them.

Can anyone write a scrip that forces all FedEx server to beep when a wooter hits F5? I'll bet they'd all ship overnight for free.

I still don't know why can they not have the Boiled Ostrich Clavicles packed and ready before the Woot off. would make sense as all they would have to do is slap the labels on and ship. it seems to me, they do this after it's sold. not 100% sure though. I'm Just happy i got one for the first time!! Thanks Woot!!

They have it pre-packed (from what i know). They just take care of Bandolier of Carrots's at last... before clearing the rest of the woot-off goods.

I think it goes by day the item is sold. My 743* temp gauge (it shows a dry heat, luckily). It shows shipped after my Bandolier of Carrots.

NO change in my status. We'll see if it arrives by the reported date of 4/3.

Weird. This is taking much longer to ship than my last B*O*C...if my memory is right.

Delivery date (once passed) has now disappeared, and the field is no longer displayed. Great joke! I'm hoping for a better one in 4 minutes or so.

Mine still says 4/2/07. The only thing it has under the shipping info is that it was received at a receiving center on 3/28/07. This is my first wootoff/Bandolier of Carrots, is this normal?

you gotta love the million and one dollar Bandolier of Carrots for 04-01-07..... Second one in a week...SCORE

yours actually shows that it left woot? mine is still stuck at woot with only info saying that fedex has received parcel information. Before today it also had an estimated delivery date (but no mention of being picked up). Delivery estimated date was deleted this morning.

Woot exceeded my expectations with the April Fool's Bag of Crap!

The posts for the April 1 Bandolier of Carrots have exceeded this Bandolier of Carrots thread.

more to talk about initially with that one. A Bandolier of Carrots hasn't remained in stock for twenty minutes in a long time

Mine showed a March 30 delivery date, but when that passed it disappeared and it still only says package data transmitted.

Figured I'ld add to the madness and add that my Blinged-Out Cabbage was sent to Fedex on Mar 29, 2007 4:39 PM. Havent seen any others sent that late?

I agree!! It took me a few minutes to figure out the joke. I am glad that I did!!

Was the actual item sent out? Or does it show that the information has been received?

I got my Alcohawk Friday, hopefully the Bawdy Oversexed Cheerleaders come Monday!

just recieved

Hey, your info was transmitted 4:05pm. I think most of the Brunette Overweight Concubines had their info transmitted at 3:38pm (mine included). Maybe you got a special one.

I love this search for the most minute difference in anyone's order and the speculation on how that means a 61" lcd is on the way.

Mine was transmitted at 4:05 as well!

Actually, i just looked again and I must have misread it. It says: "Package data transmitted to FedEx." So I guess we are all at that step.

I was watching TV, The Shield was on, and missed the April Fools joke after being stumped. Was quite pissed for a while, but then came to accept the fact that there were only 3000 bags between these two woots, and a million wooters trying to get one, while half the bags were snapped up by the same mofos, so yeah, I dont feel that bad that I only got one here.

Got to enjoy the tv show though, thats the best show ever.

Where is my Book on Cannibalism? Anybody actually hear anything on whereabouts of the product yet?

It's intersting all these people saying they are having problems. I ordered a projector from the woot off and got it, but I alos got a secondary tracking number from fedex that appears to be a mistake.

Also I tried to get a Bandolier of Carrots and the web site locked up on me (no shock there) but when I tried to get the Bandolier of Carrots the second time it poped up, it said I already got one.

Sounds like they are having some technical issues at Woot!

I have seen this type situation once before... When I ordered the "RCA 8 Device Backlit LCD Learning Universal Remote" that never came. They oversold in that situation. Some got theirs, but I didn't. I'm sure this is not the same situation since it seems that nobody has seen any movement. Woot! needs a HUGE Ex-lax to get the c.r.a.p moving!

Bowel movements are funny whether, it's movement or lack thereof, except for when it applies to me getting my Bandolier of Carrots. First one I've been fortunate enough to order, and still waiting to get the bag. This kind of thing happened before, but it was caused that time by FedEx's apparent inability to pick up shipments.

Did the new season start yet ?

The Boys of Carrolton always take longer than the average Woot to ship. This may be a couple days longer than average, but you can't rush Woot. Remember that for 99% of all crap buyers, this here is the best part. Get your $6.00 worth now, because once the crap shows up, the fun will most likely be over - until the next bag, anyway.

I just hope there's a screaming monkey in my bag.
I love those screaming monkeys.
I love when they scream.
Monkeys.

Well, I got in on the Blinged-Out Cabbage on April Fool's Day...really, it was quite easy to guess the secret word since Woot indicated to what it was in every which way! I was just amazed to see that I was able to get one at 20minutes into the woot!

Anyway, it's my first Blinged-Out Cabbage, and although I know I am posting on this board from the older Blinged-Out Cabbage from a while back, I'm just trying to see what you people get in yours in case I get some of the same.

Yeah, I know, it's only $6 and there's no reason to fret about it, but there's just something about the unknown that gets us all excited right?

Starts this Tuesday I believe :-) triple checking my tivo.....

I propose we start writing modern Haiku while waiting:

Where is the crap bag
Package data transmitted
That does not help me

I hope people that weren't able to get in on the woot off craps got the april fools craps. I looked at it 8 minutes into the woot, but I never bothered to look at the picture (which is wierd because I usually do.) I have an excuse tho, I was slightly intoxicated at the time and doing anything more than clicking the I Want One button would have been excessive.
