two a month? Seems like once a month or once every two months. I remember there being a couple in close proximity last holiday season, too.

Plus, they make bank with the woot-offs.

This bag was pretty awesome for me, my haul:

12x bags of Texas air
4x deflated bags
1x Polaroid DVR (came with cables AND a remote!)
1x mini camera bag
1x creepy freaks (2 in the box)
1x white refurbished Zune

The Zune appears to work! Has some pictures, videos and music on it, all kind of "meh", though I may leave it on there, has kind of a mellow flow to it

The display on the DVR just keeps flashing "HELLO" at me, nothing displays on the TV, and the DVD drive won't eject, installing a HDD didn't seem to help either, so I think I may be out of luck on that... if anyone has any ideas, PM me

FedEx said it was 11.5 lbs, feels about right. My 2nd bag, and I "got 3" the hard way, with the button.

Got my first bag of random carp today.

A bunch of half deflated bags of air
1x Lowepro Ridge 10 camera bag
4x iGo chargers
1x Creepy Freaks
1x New Dell USB Keyboard

My package weight was 4.7lbs according to FedEX. Figured I had something unusual in it because I was the only one I've seen with that ship weight. Worth my $8 for the keyboard and camera bag I guess. Tips for the chargers go for anywhere between $3 and $15 each and the Creepy Freaks seem even too small for target practice.

Sorry, didn't take any pictures, didn't feel like looking for the camera.

JEBUS Smartpost suxxorz.

My carp has been sitting at the sorting center since the 30th and I cant call anyone at all to get tracking assistance or locate the pkg. It was supposed to be delivered on the 5th. *sigh*

check it out. from fedex:

November 30, 2008 7:10 PM Sortation Center Arrival MARTINSBURG, WV
November 29, 2008 3:21 PM Sortation Center Departure DALLAS, TX
November 23, 2008 2:38 PM Sortation Center Arrival DALLAS, TX
November 22, 2008 1:00 PM Pickup CARROLLTON, TX

Has anyone found a workaround for USPS tracking or getting a response from FedEx regarding SmartPost?

Thanks for reading.

-BZN

By the way, I have called local post and they have no record of the tracking or anything to be delivered to my residence.

Got mine today

1 x wood barbecue planks for smokey flavor......
1 x Camera bag
1 x shira bike alarm
1 x Polaroid dvdrw player

Was hoping that there would have been a zune lurking in there because of the dvdrw player recorder deal, but nope.

Thanks Woot!!!

Has anybody been able to fix the DVRs that don't seem to do anything and just have a red light on?

Please PM me if you have.

Thanks!

If anyone has a sansa, ipod lock, or igo car charger they are willing to give to me as a Christmas gift, please message me.

It would be greatly appreciated! :D

jalexan, check your PMs.

My carp showed up over the weekend, but I was just now able to get to the computer. I was one of the lucky ones to get upgraded to 3 from 1. My Blue Oyster Cult came in at a healthy 14.0 lbs.
contents:
3x pearl harbor books
1x camera bag
2x wrigley's hinged boxes
1x creepy freaks 3D trading game figure
1x DVR DOA
1x random remote (separate from teh dvr remote)
1x black Zune. No cable, but already had one.
Hooray Woot! Awesome score for $8. Long live the WOOT Gods!
Oh yeah, a Grampa Munster action figure. Sweet.

Second DVR request. All I get is a spinning fan. I replaced the CR2032 battery which was totally dead, but that's all I can see that is wrong with it...other than it not working of course.

Got home from vacation and found that someone had put my Briefcase of Civility in my hall.

So...here's my haul:

1) Obligatory small camera bag;
2) Shira bike lock w/priceless "Kenny Loggins trying to swipe a 10-speed" pic on box;
3) ShavePro rechargeable wet/dry shaver...doesn't look too high-quality, might use it on a pet;
4) Polaroid DVR box w/missing H/D & cables but w/remote.

Very much worth eight bucks. Danke...

PS: Does anyone have the link for the step-by-step Polaroid fix? I searched about 40 pages and couldn't find it again...

though it isn't helping for my specific issue

i still just cant believe i got a working zune, and a frakking rug.. a sexy rug at that

good thing theres another woot-off coming up!

P.S. Woot, I love you

Picked up the Bandolier of Carrots from the post office today. Fed Ex showed it arriving Chino on the 30th and still shows it there. Alright FedEx! 11.5 lbs of Carp. The PO says they tried to deliver on the 29th. Lowe pro camera case, a 10' tape measure and a broke dvd player. I'd rather had a broke zune. Oh yeah, 78 bags of Texas air? And the box wasn't full because so many weren't full.

Someone here got letter from woot god,what happened to it?

did you able to get yr big box yet?

I've decided I am not going to bother with the DVR player. Don't have a spare hard drive and already have a setup that works. So if anyone wants it - PM me and I'll let it go for the cost of shipping.

I still have not received my Bandolier of Carrots - Is it safe to assume that my carp was lost?

Got mine a few days ago. Inside it held the small lowe pro camera bag, 1x Herman Munster doll (in package, but the plastic has torn free from the backing), 4x igo charger; 1x lighted usb cable; and 1x respiffied. ac to dc converter. Was hoping for something good.

Did anyone get a Zune that was DOA with a good screen. Mine seems to work but the screen is fracked. I would gladly pay shipping for a good screen. Plz send me a message.

no call, no box ... yet

Finally got mine, tracking page said 4.3 lbs. (actual is close, maybe a touch lighter). In for 3 the hard way. Didn't score any Zunes, but got a couple things I haven't seen reported yet - overall a decent haul.

24x AirSpeed Inflatable Packaging
1x LowePro Cirrus 100 (the larger camera bag)
4x iGo car chargers (in a sealed box, no tips)
1x iGo car charger ***w/ iPod tip***
1x Speck iPhone hardshells (2-pack)
1x Icemat Siberia In:Ear Headset (earbuds+mic combo)
1x mechanically powered led flashlight (cheap Chinese packaging; shake it and a magnet goes through a small coil to charge)

I look forward to playing again, but it might be too much effort to take another shot. It took a couple years of occasional attempts to finally get this one.

well. i got the box...

Your gf is wise. But just for kicks, did you open the boxes to make sure they were coffee makers?

No way!!!!!!!!!! Really? You got the letter and that was the rest of your stuff that wouldn't fit in the box???? That's just wrong! Wow.. Soooo very wrong...

And now the very same coffee maker is for sale right now in the woot off. Crazy!

Bummer. Anyone who complains about getting let down by their B O C has got nothing on you. BTW, those JV coffee makers are available in the Woot-off right now for $12.99 + $5 shipping, so at least it was worth about $31...

BOOOOOO!

Thats pretty funny, gotta love those woot gods.
Atleast you got your carps though. My 16+lbs carp was lost to SHARTPost land.
never delivered and no tracking available anywhere that shows the pkg making it past the martinsburg shipping center. so, i hope whoever it is that ends up with my heavy carps enjoys it and has a merry christmas.

Let Woot know you never received your order.

definitely. they will typically resend another.

tangeemct wrote:Let Woot know you never received your order.

oh, i did. and they agreed to send me something else instead.... but i was really excited about my old carp. I guess i'll keep my fingers crossed through this wootoff and maybe get another order in.

Still waiting here too. At least it now shows it is in Earth City, MO. I'm in Kansas, so that is hopeful. Chump, I am sooooo sorry about your other box, but it IS kind of humorous as well. Gotta love WOOT!!! It's always an adventure.

As Billy Bob Thorton once said: They can't all be winners, kid.

For you guys doing the repair job on the craptacular Polaroid: Was the mounting bracket/chasis for the HD also removed? I'm having to fashion a cheesy bracket and it's looking real cavemanesque. Any suggestions?

Also: Is there an owner's manual in PDF out there somewhere?
