They make it seem like when you log in to your account and click on the confirmation number to the left of the item, that page will change to another saying it's shipped when it is in fact shipped. That's just guessing though, as this is also my first woot. I guess we'll see...

They'll send you an email saying it has shipped and when you click on the order number on your account page it will go to a page where you can view reciept and there will be a on my toe it with tracking number. Most the time you'll find out day of or day before it arrives that it has shipped... some people get the package before they get their tracking numbers... don't worry too much yet. 5 business days before they give you a tracking number is normal.

With all the money they make every day, they should be able to hire more people to take care of this. I am usually happy with w00t. I almost hope I don't get this item....i didn't realize I can't plug it into my computer. I suppose I technically CAN, with an adapter....but I was so impulse driven to buy that I did not read the info first. I don't even play console games.....whatever....I just want to see an item shipped (i paid already...)

I have to admit I'm a bit suprised they havn't been recieved yet either. I ordered a set as well. Hmm I really hope they at least SHIP by tomorrow.

This was my first woot, I guess I had my expectations a little high on the turn around. *shrug* At least I know now, to expect a week or more wait to recieve my product.

lesson learned =) I just hope the speakers are woorth it.....

Any idea of when these ship? I'm a bit puzzled how people who bought the subwoofers (on 12/03) have already received their orders while people ordering this speaker set on 12/01 don't even have tracking information yet.

i wonder what's happening at the woot HQ.. still havent shipped it yet...
and yes i too bought this thing assuming it was 5.1. I think woot should put those important fact at the top of the description in BOLD. To prevent any confusion. just a thought...

all i was saying was that it would be helpful. i kno it's my reponsibility, i mean it's my money being spent...

READ THE DESCRIPTION PEOPLE, IT"S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Just got my tracking number...but not for this.. for the coffee maker.. WTB... LOL oh well


Just hope FredEX can find the house

Hmmm...today is the 7th...the w00t! was on the 1st...what's the holdup on shipping? Will I get it before christmas?!

According to my credit card receipt, I have owned these speakers since Dec 1st but WOOT still hasn't shipped them.

Maybe a FREE Beverage of Choice will ease my pain for the wait!

This is my first Woot and I'm a little concerned about the shipping. However, I do realize that it was just last Thursday and there were literally thousands of orders. I have seen mentioned in other posts that sometimes items come before you even get a tracking number. Is this really the norm?

damn it i want my speeekrz people are starting to think i didnt get these and i am a total BSer ;_;

Relax, today is only the third business day - that's hardly a week.

To be fair... today is the 5th business day, and still nothing. Oh well, I suppose I should expect this from now on.

Just got a reply from Woot service (fast reply! thanks woot!) They said the speakers are shipping out tomorrow (Thurs.)

Well... I got the WiFi yesterday... I must say I'm kind of dissappointed. I mean really, I've recieved the previous woot and this one still hasn't even shipped?! Maybe they'll send us a Bag o Crap to make up for the delays...

I second that opinion ... Bag of Crap for us ... plus the speaker of course!

Still no ship date? Ordered on the 1st. Woot "ships" must still be wooden with torns sails.

somehow I doubt we will get a bag of crap.

No, but it would be nice of them! *hint*hint* :D

Hopefully tomorrow they will ship. My current stereo is on the way out the door with a free ride in the trash! :(

Has anyone reading this received a shipped date? Seems like more than the usual number of people complaining about this; or then again maybe we're all just getting Xmas nervous ;)

Mine already left... and I had never really realized how much my tv speakers suck until they left. Sigh.

It's the fourth business day. Dec 1st doesn't count. The sale day doesn't count because orders "can" be placed till midnight, Dec. 2nd...my experience, 3-5 days is pretty standard for woot.

I've got to disagree here.
The sale went through Wed night (AKA Thursday Morning). So business days count as follows:
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
MONDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
It is now thursday again, for many of us, more then 168 hours (one REAL week, aka 5 business days) since we placed the order.
The LAST order was at 8:17 CST aka over 160 hours ago.

In about 7 hours we will be starting the SIXTH business day since this woot went live.
This kind of delay really is inexcusable.

I still have not seen my order change to shipped. Anyone know if there is any delays. this is my first purchase on woot. before I consider buying anything else i'd like to know if im going to get my first produt.

I've heard nothing yet. No tracking or shipping email. It's not unusual for me not to have received the email in the past, but it's not even showing up on my account details yet. The order is, but not the tracking info.

My problem is that this was the 12/01 woot. So not a single 12/02 woot should ship until all of these 12/01 woots have left the warehouse or at least have been processed so that they are in line to leave.

This is my first woot as well. I'm not even upset that they haven't shipped yet. I just expected some kind of communication, whether it be e-mail, a forum post here, or even a phone call to let us know what's officially going on with our orders.

Most businesses count the day of an order as the 1st business day as long as the order is in the system during NORMAL business hours. I placed my order on the 1st of December, my credit card was billed on the 1st of December, so does that mean they billed me on the -1st business day?

Having to wait 7 days has made me WEAK.

Although a free "Beverage of Choice" might ease my pain!

You will be receiving tracking information on the Monster Speakers today. There was a delay in us getting the shipment from Monster as it was coming from the west coast and had to be re-routed around some wonderful wintery out there earlier this week. They would have been shipped out of our warehouse yesterday but we had to send service and warehouse crews home early yesterday due to icy conditions here in Dallas. (yes, in Dallas a little bit of ice shuts down everything)

I guess for Dallas, it is a big deal. Here in Grand Forks, ND it's snowy/icy 5 months out of the year!! (ok, not really but close!) I work for FedEx and we have normal operations every day, rain, snow, sleet, maybe not hail...i know what it's like to ship in bad weather. C'mon guys! Chins up and lets get these puppies shipped!

Your TV speakers left? or your stereo speakers? :p

Why did it take me posting a post that got removed for someone to give an update? If it is weather related all you would have to do is just post that for all to see. It is funny that people have already received thier items from the Saturday and Sunday posts though. Thanks for the update.

When will the speakers be shipped? It has been a week...

Well, if they'd given an explanation about the delays (even just a post as BigD did above) at the time the delays became apparent to them I wouldn't have quite as big of a problem with this as I do currently. And I'm not counting minutes here, I'm counting hours and days. And we're currently 3 hours from it having been a week since this was ordered. And I still don't have ANY kind of tracking info. However, BigD's post, due to the extreme lateness of it, seem little more then an excuse...

Colour me dissappointed.

does getting shippin info today mean that i'll get it before tomorrow?

would "before tomorrow" mean today? I don't think you'll get it today.
How late do you guys work over there? 5:21 and still no mention of shipping... at least to me or on my account page.

Just lame a little ice and you all go home. Must be nice. Well this is the longest I ever had to wait for my toys. Hope they show up at work before next fri. Vacation time starts then. Lame cause I still have to drive 40 miles to work in a blizzard or not :)

Woot there it is! Got my shipping notice and tracking #! These still aren't going to get to me until next Wednesday but at least I'm getting them now!
