Congratulations!

Actually, the "autonomous" part means that woot! will retain their own crappy customer service. http://instantrimshot.com/

I just found Lefty! If you want him back, leave four, unmarked, one dollar bills on my office desk, plus 29 cents in change. This is pay off my debt to Starbucks. Lefty will be in a cup, with enough water to cover him to keep him happy. Eyeballs need liquid, right?

Thanks

Hahaha, so thats what they were testing out yesterday :D

Congratulations guys, you totally earned it!

Just make sure you keep on offering the same stellar service and I'll keep on sending you my orders.

Anyone worried about Amazon changing woot....I hope it only increases the server load and decreases shipping times!

First CD-NOW, and now Woot.

Congratulations on selling out, and keep the carp flowing!

I remember when everything was purple and we LIKED it - you've grown up b4 my eyes, weird and amazing - congrats

Seems like selling out to me :sigh:

Does this mean that Wooters with Amazon Prime will get free shipping?

Man, I sure hope so!

I think this can be a good thing, as long as Amazon doesn't meddle. Don't get me wrong I like Amazon, but I like Woot! alot better.

Congratulations! Amazon's the big winner in that win/win equation.

Congratulations Woot. This is a big step for the company!

The only two places I buy stuff from are together

So, now you need to change site names:

woot = sellout.wootA
sellout.woot = sellout.wootY

Does Amazon have any idea what they're getting themselves into?

Wow! Do we now get access to a Daily Gold Box... Of Crap?

Congratulations!

Let us hope that the bags of Texas air remain just as Texan as we have come to expect.

Major congrats, woot!

No, Prime won't apply since Amazon is not selling their items, they are merely (putting it lightly) a store within Amazon.

So in laymans (ie. dumbass) terms, what will this mean for us woot shoppers? And what about for us Amazon shoppers?

prime prime prime prime prime prime prime prime…


knock knock


at least I didn’t say prime

From back in 2008... http://www.businessinsider.com/2008/1/amazon-invests-4-million-in-closeout-site-woot
Must have hit those "certain unnamed sales targets", eh?

EDIT: Coincidentally, I got a package from both woot and amazon today!

Whoa! This is incredible, congrats Woot

By the way, Woot!...

I also wanted to say congratulations on your first post! We all knew you were waiting on just the right moment to join the community, and we are very glad to have you.

Oh wow, that brings back memories. I was a CD-NOW affiliate until they got eaten by the Amazonians, and ever since I've taken a rather dim view of the online giant. But given the universal praise being heaped on the Woot deal, I'll go along... pass the Kool-Aid!

Awesome! Twitterme this... let's celebrate with a secret box of carp!

I know, the only way this could get better is if they merge with Costco and Google now.

Congratulations!!!

Looking forward to the next Woot/Amazon Book of Crap.

I am, honestly, happy for you guys. It's the kind of deal that all privately-owned, small companies hope for. Sad for us however since most corporate buy-outs/"partnerships" mean less for the customer in the end. Here's wishing that you stay truly autonomous and are allowed to continue to run your business as you always have - that's what's kept us loyal. Best of luck guys!

Congratulations! Hope this only bolsters the things I've come to enjoy from Woot!

Yeah.. congrats! I agree the concern about keeping the 'wootness' alive... but it worked out well for zappos, right?

That's great! I'm so proud of you, my little Woot!

Interesting news.

I hope Woot doesn't change for the worse .

1.) Does this mean the Missouri sales tax will go away?

2.) Will Snapster be obligated not to start up a similar site?

3.) Something doesn't feel really great about this, and I hope I'm wrong.

There goes the neighborhood. LOL. Seriously, congrats Woot!

I was hasty by sending you that email.
You have my heartfelt congratulations, Woot.
This is really cool!

Holy book, crapman!

Congrats, I hope it works out well for Woot. Never change, Woot, never change!

Please oh please let this be the end of SmartPost's association with Woot...
