Damn, they still have not been delivered.

One & a half weeks from Texas, normally 3 days for me.

Did they need to go to Bucky to get blessed before they can be delivered?

i have yet to get mine either.. i am hoping for tomorrow. but i am not holding my breath.

got 'em finally!!! they are tiny, like magnetic bbs. fun to make ball jokes at work. i probably will have to take these home because i won't get any work done

I just got notification that FedEx has finally handed them over to USpost... 2-3 days and i might actually finally get to play with my balls

That was the longest wait for a woot product ever. 23 days since I ordered. should have bought from amazon where it would have worked out same price. also ordered a shirt recently that seems to have been lost by fedex since I have had tracking number for 1 week and still not found on fedex site. Wott is getting sloppy. Must be one of the buy off from amazon rules to make people buy more stuff from amazon.

Finally got ahold of my balls today. My postal worked even delivered them over fours hours earlier than she normally gets around to my apartment, although she just left them on the doorstep instead of the shared package box (which was installed because she was too lazy to climb the stairs to leave packages at the door anyway).

So glad I finally got to play with my balls, made a few cool shapes while my code was compiling, got it back into the cube. Definitely going to have to leave these at home, bringing them to work was not a good idea.

Nothing Yet...$5 shipping is not a deal when you never get your package!

The Fed Ex site says that mine were finally delivered on Tuesday, but they're not at my house.

Nothing has ever gone missing before . . .

No Buckyballs and no money.

Sometimes the mail carrier is lazy and will scan in a package a few days before it's actually delivered- so give it through the week to show up. Email into us if you have any other questions or if you never get your package.

My mail carrier is more often just inept or maybe illiterate, as mail is often put in the wrong boxes. We're used to re-delivering the mail, so I'm pretty sure that it would have gotten to me if they gave it to someone else.

Now I'm hoping for the lazy thing. I've never had a package go missing in the 9 years that I've lived here.

Thanks - I feel better now!

A couple of tips, if you lose one, you can buy 5 replacements for $1 (like $3.50 with shipping) here.

And for those of you struggling to get it back into the cube, practice this video for an hour or two, and you'll get it down. Make sure you alternate wrapping to keep the grid formation, as they suggest!

I was looking at the buckyballs company site (the one listed on the insert), where 10 spares cost a buck, plus 4 bucks for shipping. So 50 cents per if you go that way, vs. 72 cents apiece from that vat19 site.

I would say that having 10 spares might be a bit over the top, but I took them out of the box for the first time this evening, and before 10 minutes had gone by I'd lost one somewhere in my office. At this rate, I'll be using up my spare set, one piece at a time!

Bah. The coating on these buckyballs is crap. A good portion of mine have cracked and flaked off coating. Everytime I use them I have silver specs all over my fingers.

Saw Buckyballs earlier on http://officefunhouse.com/ for $17.99, but now they are $27.99. I guess it could have been a pricing error. But I will keep my eye on it.

All I want to do is to buy a two pack of Bucky Balls.
But no where on the woot site is there a way to buy them. Plenty of useless comments about them and lots of ads but no place to make a simple purchase.
Woot is a bunch of useless hot air.

People, were you not warned to keep the Buckyballs away from the kids?
Now look what's happened!
