This is my first Bee Oh Cee and I'm ridiculously excited about it! I also can't track by reference, it just says "not found". I don't think I have ever before been this anxious to get a package in the mail!!!

I wonder if the hint gremlin will come out and give us a hint if they are shipped and it's just paper work on their end.

That would be nice! I'm still waiting for info.

now you are just pushing it too far...

At this point, since there is nothing posted, I expect to get floor sweepings, used styrofoam cups, burger wrappers and the contents of the wastebaskets as they are emptied before the weekend. Cool.

will they make it in time???

By my watch it's about 3pm Texas time, so, yeah a couple more hours. But who says they close up shipping at 5?

Dear woot gods above
patience is a good lesson
but mine has run dry

I wallow in angst
And again I press F5
still my crap eludes

Good crap comes to those ___...
yeah, yeah, those who wait, I know.
thats what my mom said.

pity me not though
for whining is half the fun
so I press F5

Well, according to this: http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=3978970, they close at 4:30. Maybe shipping continues on past that.

Yeah, getting a bit nervous. Guess I need to have the post office put my mail on hold since I'll be out of town tues/wed and I live like 15 miles from HQ. Not a good sign for me to be home even if they do ship out today....which doesn't look like it's gonna happen!!

Could be shipped. Smartpost is not 'live', its more like 'live to tape.' These things take time and the shipped emails could be automatic.

My F5 key is broke, Fedex has banned me from their site for a potential DOS attack and my mailman won't talk to me anymore! I'm not obsessing about my Burden of Commitment!!! Please please please oh Woot Gods, Demi-Gods and those in power (even those not in so much power but at least a little bit of power) please send me a 60" plasma TV, a new Driver (preferably right handed) and some sweet electronic goodness (like some 2TB hard drives and a NAS storage box)!!!!1

Meh... if my kids can write Santa a letter, I can beg on Woot!, right? :-D

I think you have aggravated the Woot Gods your penance is to buy one of the next wootoff killers!

Here's me opening my last Book of Crap.

I think i am going to make a video of me hitting F5 on the fedex site... maybe when it finally updates with something I will go crazy or something...

Take your time, O Gods of Woot
Seal my box, once stuffed with loot
Ship today, or even next week
Just stuff it good with things I seek.

I believe all posts should be in some poem format.

even if it does not rhyme. I would be OK with that.

Or pressing the BIG RED button when you don't know what it does. Ignore the "DO NOT PRESS" sign.

That was awesome! I am hoping for some piece of electronics. My last one only had a pink lego ipod speaker.

I'm sitting here about to shout
I hit F5 and do nothing but pout
What I really want most
Is for woot staff to post
That my crap has just been shipped out

I am supposed to be working and not watching Woot Bowl of Cereal openings on youtube.

should we still be hopeful of getting our bag-0-krap shipped today?

if not today then its gonna happen on Monday then

It looks like the doors at Woot! have closed and my Bowl of Cereal hasn't been picked up yet

I just looked back at my last three craps. It turns out shipping information was not received until after 5:30 all three times. So give it another hour or so.

Fear not jaymanmsu
We do have some good news for you
Our warehouse came through
So we treated them to dinner, free cordon bleu (and Texas beef stew and also fondue)
All of the BoCs shipped, not just a few

if I had any money
I'd give you a dollar.

Thanks threepiecewoot :D

Thanks for the wonderfully timed update from you
I now can breath with a large sigh and a loud Woo-Hoo
Taking solace in the fact that my BoC is on its way
I'll sleep well tonight knowing tomorrow will be a reload that FedEx page kinda day

jaymanmsu wrote:That just made my afternoon.

Mine too! Made all the F5-pressing worth it. What a fantastic way to end a Friday!

So should or shouldn't I be worried that I have no shipping info, not even fedex by reference number?

To all this must bring great relief,
the moment of anticpation was long not brief.
All woot gods deserve the delicios dinner,
and when we open our boxes hope we feel like winner!!

I broke my F5 key yet no updates on Fedex.

Try ctrl+F4. Lol.

Over the years I have scored a box of cats or two
Reading these discussions is one of my favorite things to do
While I really do want my box I hate for the posts to stop
And I just saw on TV that ShamWow now makes a mop.

(Seriously...a ShamWow mop. Maybe Woot! could find a way to grab a few hundred for an upcoming Woot-off. I know I would be in for three.)
