Finally, at long last and after a week-long detour to Williamsburg, Virginia, my 25.3 lbs SSOC has arrived!

I received:

1X Remanufactured Hoover Floormate (in blue)
1X Plastic Slinky (perfect replacement for the slinky my toddler recently twisted straight)
1X XM case
1X PhD Mechanical Pencil and
2X invisible ink letters on tissue paper

I probably will not post pictures because it might be a while before I am able to get this thing on the train to take home, but it's the same things that others in this weight range have gotten.

Woot - notwithstanding the frustrating SmartPost issues, thank you for the awesome stuff! I'm an Xmas baby so getting a SSOC was the highlight of my b-day (especially because all of my in-laws were over this year)

I wasn't planning on it, but hmmm. . . . .

So, I had to wait until the holiday weekend was over so I could open it at work. I received:

4 Sansa 1gb clip players
1 Sansa s250e 2gb mp3 player, refurbished in package
1 gfm 35mm camera
1 xm case
1 set of woot off lights
2 mechanial pencils
and
the hardware/software for an external computer dvd recording drive, but no drive.


Pretty great haul--now my co-workers want some for themselves!

Ok, my blog has been posted if anyone wants to see what the contents actually were in my X-Rayed Santa's Sack of scaffolding.

Thanks again for the opportunity Woot / Slydon

Well, the speed at which he delivers bags of scaffolding will certainly rival Woot.

I got mine today, was in Wisconsin for Christmas but am back in Virginia. Here's my haul:

My box clocked in at 4.8 lbs originally.

3x GE 25942EE3 Cordless phone handsets
4x Batteries for said headsets
2x Plastic adapters for phone base station as well as 2 phone cords
1x GFM 35mm camera
1x Belkin XM case
2x PhD mechanical pencils
1x Altec Lansing portable speaker in box
10x Sets of those Medisana replacement pads
1x 2gb Sansa Fuze (yay!), refurb, seems to work, no music preloaded
2x Sansa headphones
1x Sansa charge cable

Please PM me if you need the phones for your base stations.

THANKS AGAIN WOOT!!

The anticipation of his arrival has almost rivaled this thread.

Good to see it finally arrived. I'm really starting to lose hope on mine quickly, I thought with everyone getting some late fedex tracking info mine would pop up somewhere. Think I might give it a few more days and then contact woot. That mystery 15.9lb is driving me nuts though.

LoL Be careful...my 46 lb'er was driving me nuts...

I wonder how much woot looks at this thread to determine the general crappiness of their chosen shipping method. . . . I mean this is one of the few times when the efficiency is reported along with all the failures.

I'm late to the party, but I got mine today!

I got:
5x GE 5.8 GHz phone handsets
4x extra batteries for said handsets
2x user manuals for the phone...
2x GFM digital camera and camcorder!
1x Wootoff lights
1x "gaming headset"
2x Christmas cards
1x 6 gig Sansa! (+ extra cords)
2x pencils
1x flashlight keychain thing
1x sparkly pink floam

Altogether an amazing Boggy Old Creature!

I *AM* looking to obtain a home base and extra bases for the phones... I'm lacking a home phone currently, so if I could get this together it would be great. PM me to trade or whatever!

Nice! I have my slinky at the office too.

It mostly serves to hold my cup or drink - and prevent me from knocking them over.

True utter crappage of awesomeness.

4 Random Pails/Buckets
12 Burpmaster Pens
6 Calculators
2 Kirk figures
2 Spock Figues

8.4 pounder. Gonna use 1 each of the kirk and spock action figures. I will donate the calculators if I can. Woot should have pitched the rest out themselves and saved the shipping costs lol.

*edit - Was really hoping for one of those cool pencils... If anyone wants to trade let me know (might not be worth the shipping costs though)

Any Update its been days

Rootstock wrote:OH DEAR LORD I GOT THE LETTER TOO!!!!!!

My haul:

13 bags of Texas air (2 were sacrificed in the shipping process)
2 small pieces of tissue paper
2 Arouzer stress balls (in packages)
1 pill stress ball (not in package)
1 Neon slinky (pink exterior, yellow interior)
1 XM Zipper case
2 sweet pencils
1 WOOT LETTER!!!!!!

1.6 lbs according to Fed Ex.
About 13.5 x 8 x 10ish. Too lazy to get the actual ruler.

(I posted several pages that all I really wanted to be super stoked was one of those sweet pencils. Turns out they're not what I'm most excited about...)

I've never posted pictures, may have to edit a bit.



The box/other scaffolding


The awesome picture someone drew on the front of the envelope.


Ah, sweet, sweet letter.


Dear Woot Customer,
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, however your last item will not fit in this box and will be shipped separately.
Thanks for your understanding,
threepiecewoot


Oh, no inconvenience at all Woot, none at all. :D

P.S. The slinky seems to be enough to entertain my fiancee. Too bad he doesn't get his box until tomorrow. haha.

armanius wrote:It was a 5.6 lb box

I got:

The Belkin XM Zipper Case
And Phone Charger (if any one got a GE Dect 6.0 Phone without a charger, i guess you can have this).

Who knows the rest that was taken from this.

got my ssoc. what i expected for my 9x10x14 2.6 lbs box:

1 broken in November fact or scaffolding calendar, already most of the way through the facts.. even the facts are pretty crappy.
2 sanford phd pencils
2 arouzer stress pills
1 spock quog
1 xm satellite radio case
2 tissues (i needed those to mop up my tears.)

If someone wants to link the contents and adjust my entry on the spreadsheet, please do.

Sooooooo...who's ready for a wootoff tomorrow? It's been a while, Thursdays are good days to start 2 days of wooting. Seems like whenever I get a woot news letter there's a wootoff within a few days...anyway...I'm excited with the possibility.

Seems like there are very few (if any) Woot-offs in January. Perhaps CES takes a whole month to recover from. That message from the guy in Haiti was very moving.

I don't think I'm ready for another one just yet. Mainly because Comcast has yet to fix my high latency/low speed in the evenings issue. Two months and counting, thanks Comcast!

Bring it on, I'm ready.

(6) bags of texas air
(1) GFM 35mm camera - opened but looks fine... I could probably use the strap from it with some electronic
(1) Belkin XM Radio case. this fits the ZUNE perfectly.
(1) 1 GIG RCA S2001 sports MP3 player - new - had a note in it written by some store saying it was defective and wouldnt load. I did some research and updated the firmware and it now works great!. Missing the sports clip headphones but has the rest of its accessories.
(1) 2 Gig Sanza Clip - refurbished - Came loaded with music... some good... some terrible. but Works great! Has all accessories too!
(20) of those pads for the muscle stimulator thingie.... I dont remember what its called lol. I have no use for them... they are up for trade. I wouldnt mind one of those kirk or spock bobbleheads.
(2) Mechanical pencils - These pencils Rule!
(1) LG HBS 250 Bluetooth headphones - New in box - Sweet!
(1) extra set of sony headphones - will fit nicely with the RCA mp3 player
(1) GE 6.0 Dect Photophone with picture caller ID! - This was new in box and works great

All in all a fantastic Haul. Thanks Woot

I got the exact same model GE DECT 6.0 phone/frame. It really is kind of a nice item, especially considering it is a GE product. The cordless phone's rubberized number pad is kind of weird, yet it seems to work fine. Also, the photo-frame can be set to always display the time and it automatically dims enough that it makes a nice clock in the bedroom (not blindingly bright like some of the digital photo-frames are). The photo caller ID is cool as well. I am thus far quite pleased with this item.

Thanks again Woot!

I wish Rootstock would at least come on and tell us they haven't gotten anything yet.

I still gotta get mine. Am I really the only person that has not received their Boggy Old Creature yet?

I hope you get it soon, though!

Yzzim wrote:I still gotta get mine. Am I really the only person that has not received their Boggy Old Creature yet?

So did the anticipation peak a while back or are you still excited about it?

I am also waiting for the results of letter #2 and the poor guy who got his box stolen.

BUT, more importantly, I am thinking there may be a new wee woot in the world as KtCallista hasn't posted anything for a day or so. Any bets on whether or not she names the baby "woot?"

I'm kinda late getting back to the party, but my SOC arrived last week:

1 - Charades Deluxe game
1 - Spock vinyl figurine
1 - Hip Hop Hippies drumming figurine (batteries mostly dead)
and then the usual
1 - Belkin XM Zipper Case
2 - Sanford PhD Mechanical Pencils

Fedex called it 1 kg / 2.2 lbs, which felt about right.

'Twas a bit of a bust my first time around... I didn't even get any sweet Texas air. Must try again next Woot-off.

I just hope they have plans to continue thwarting the bots!

No wee one as of last night. I think it's going to be today. We shall see if she isn't around later.

what did the first letter end up bringing?

fidett wrote:what did the first letter end up bringing?

It was a nice laptop, if you look at the first_page of this thread there are links to "letter posts" and other cool pics like the X-Ray pic.

Very late to the party, but this was my first successful Bag (bucket?) o' Crapo so cut me some slack. ;-)

Unsure of the weight or measurements, but the contents were:

-1 small metal bucket
-2 Arouzer Stress Balls
-1 Fact or scaffolding Music Edition desk calendar

And thats it. I assume a Woot/longhorn fan employee was boxing up my scaffolding and figured out I'm a Sooner fan. Oh well, at least I'm learning scaffolding about music daily now...

I'm still here. I'm still pregnant, but hopefully not for much longer.

I guess I'm making up for having two short labors before, this one is a record setter.

pooflady wrote:So did the anticipation peak a while back or are you still excited about it?

Definitely still excited, mostly due to the fact that the missing package is 15.9 lbs. I just called my local post office and was told that they don't have anymore info than the website shows. She did tell me to contact the shipper and that they can do a more detailed search.

I've been told that by both fedex and usps so I think I might send Woot an email.

Got my 3.2 pound SSOC:

6 - Burpmaster pens
1 - Fact or scaffolding music edition calendar (broken
in half)
1 - Bucket
1 - Calculator

Thanks Woot.

Sent an email to Woot and got a very quick response stating that they are going to send me a new Boggy Old Creature and put in a claim for the missing package.

We'll see what happens. I'll always wonder what was in that 15.9lb package.
