HAPPY B-DAY woot and Finally the Elusive Blogging Old CEO is mine!!!!!!

Kiss My Woot!

This is no longer 'fun', its just C R A P !

Nothing like hitting the buy button, noticing that I'm stuck with one, and then coming to realize I probably took too long to do even that. Oh well, no biggie. Congrats to those who managed to get in on the deal!

Happy Birthday Woot

faceplate66 wrote:That was the WORST buying experience I have ever seen on the internet BAR NONE. This was to be my first purchase on WOOT. Woot lost a customer today. I will spread the word to everyone I know. Even e-bay has their carp together better than that.

So you never bought anything real from woot and you expect them to send you a bag filled with junk!?!?!?!

Silly rabbit!!!

WOOT-- THERE IS AN ISSUE HERE! I am also running Firefox 2.0.0.15.

I had to wait a bit for the "I want three" to appear, but once I did the refresh was pretty quick. As of this moment, I'm still processing, so I don't know if the wait was worth it or foolish.

Invisiblemoose wrote:Glad I'm not the only one. Is woot screwing with us or what? :P

it let me click 3 and then it came back with 'there's an error, please correct something...' and wouldnt let me click 3 the second time around.

I logged in at 1200, minutes of getting the page to load and then hit the yellow button entered my security code and then freeze for 33 min. When it's finally done what do I see SOLD OUT, order invalid on my order form! What the hell!

Wow, I feel like it's my birthday and I just gave birth to two Grammy awards.
I got my first Blogging Old CEO!

This is going to be a great weekend.

Well I missed out on the "BAG O carp"....

If any of you fellow wooters are really disapointed on not getting your share of carp, email me and I will send you one. I wonder if there are any laws against sending hot steaming carp priority mail??

just got my email confirmation!!! woootttttt!!!

thanst wrote:I too couldn't click on the quantity buttons and have them change. Running XP and FireFox. Seems a pretty common problem being reported on a lot of websites that are talking about it. Woot should just make the default 3 with these. If they want to change the orders to 3 I'm fine ith that too ;) llo

A lot of web sites? You waste your time with WOOT issues on more than 1 web site? Way too much time on your hands.

Got on the website right at midnight... bought 3, there was hardly any lag when I ordered. Guess now I just wait.

I'm still on the order processing page. What up?

PM me. I'm willing to negotiate that price.

I PUT MY ORDER IN 12 02 AND 22 MIN L8R OF LOADING IT SAID SOLD OUT!!
THE SERVERS SUCK! I AM VERY ANGRY

ya know, after 4 years... maybe perhaps you can buy enough servers and bandwidth to accommodate the demand, but why should you? it builds up anticipation and excitement for those few that gets in..

But really, so many other sites does mystery bags and boxes now, and unlike woot, you actually get useful stuff.. not broken carp and returned stuff... sure not every Blogging Old CEO is like that, but the majority are..

So really, My monies will start going toward them, and you don't have to swarm the pc and purchase something within 4 seconds to get a shot at owning something!

when i got here there were only 4 comments, i thought i had made it...

rude.....very rude

I agree, very rude! (I got mine too, sweeeetttt) I realize it's frustrating for some, I've missed the Blogging Old CEO around 6 times or so, but it's late, it's just carp, go to bed and it'll be okay.

I've been wooting for 4 years or more now, and I THINK I finally got a Blogging Old CEO this time...well, I'm still processing...my god, process already!

Dangit, I got to the order page and got all excited, but then I clicked Want 3 and it said sold out...so close! :'(

3x reserved and processing... first Blogging Old CEO
Anyone notice the [C] favicon instead of (!)?

D'oh.

Nada para Mi' once again.

The good news is, upon my death I will attain 'total conciousness' ---- SO I got that going for me.

Hopefullly my generous 'lucky' buddy who gets actual Blogging Old CEO's once again will share the wealth, when he gets another fat bag.

Maybe next time...

Actually, Ohio was in the 'black' and about 30 minutes later - now I see it's semi-not-as-black black, and I got my receipt!

Happy Birthday, Woot!!!

what a bunch of b.s.

I had my order waiting for over 20 minutes on the c.c. part.

I opened another screen to see if mine was just stuck, and it said "sold out"

Got stuck at the lagwagon "processing screen" and it timed out :-(

I got jacked on the carp. Clicked on I want one and didnt get anything. vacuums

Right now I get this and still stuck on it for a while now:


What's going on here?

We've reserved a product for you, and are now processing your credit card. This usually just takes a few seconds, but if our servers are really getting pounded, it could take 20 or 30 minutes.

You can stick around to make sure your order goes through, or just leave and check your account page later. If sale's listed there, it means everything went fine. If it's not, it means your order got denied.
Click here to manually refresh the page.

Yay me, 1st Braille on Cookies ever, after 4 years of wooting.
We'll watch the shipping weights and see what happens.

so heres the deal:


i clicked on the 'yes my info is correct thing' twice....

first time i get brought riiiiiiight back to the same page

now i have been waiting in another window for the order to go through. its at about 90% according to the bar but has been sitting like that for 20+ minutes.

am i desperately hopeless?
am i hopelessly desperate?
