My Bucket of Candy has landed! Can't wait to get home.. tho im not expecting anything spectacular..

Still waiting on my 8.1LB cube. It was last seen in Denver 33 hours ago (after spending 29 hours there), and is still claiming to be delivered in 25 hours. I don't have much hope though, and am not expecting much.

Edit:
After a long 36 hour trip my cube is now so very close, only about 10 miles or so. However it's delivery date has been pushed out until Friday. Hopefully the USPS can continue it's heroic ways and get it here tomorrow. The USPS around here generally rocks.

My box of cheerios arrived at my PO box still weighing 1 lb and having no dimensions but I can't pick it up until Saturday (I live in Canada eh and have to go to PO box over the river to pick it up)

Maybe I got a 1 lb sphere of good 'ol Texas air and that's why there's no dimensions. ;P

oooo - mine just updated to show it was @ my local PO yesterday. the msg says "Tendered to U.S. Postal Service for delivery - Allow one to two additional days for delivery" but the est delivery date is still today, so I still have hope

My crap likes to travel the scenic route and stay under the radar. First it took 79 hours to get from Dallas to Wisconsin, where it lost around 3.4 lbs. (Obviously having to cannibalize itself to survive that long on its own).

Then at 7.8 lbs, it left Wisconsin 42 hours ago and has not been heard from since. I fear it has been snowed in crossing those deep Ohio mountain passes. With rations already depleted and rescue not likely 'til spring, I can only pray it does what it must to survive.

I just hope it eats the hat and backpack first.

They were both ETA Thursday, and both left Martinsburg, WV yesterday but now the Bucket of Candy is in Allentown, PA and is ETA Friday, while the SD card went to Edison, NJ and is still on track for Thursday...

I guess the FedEx just throws SmartPost packages on whatever truck that still has space left and is going towards my general location?

Huh, that's weird... Both were delivered today! Can't wait to see what I got in the Bacon on Cheese...

At least it won't die of dysentery.

My 5.9 pound Bundle of Cotton finally made it out of Jax today and is headed west, of course our little post office is only open from 9 to 5 and they do NOT deliver mail to our houses.. hummm Guess I will be going to work late or taking off early tomorrow... YEAH!

Hmm, My Bucket of Candy got here to AL 2 days ahead of my SD cards, which just got here. They were loose in the padded envelope without any sort of case or anything like that. Considering that they left Atlanta just after midnight, the B'ham PO did another speedy job getting them to me.

A day after the Estimated delivery date, My Poo is in the area. Still holding steady at 6.3 lbs and 12.8 in cubed. I called the local USPS location since at 1pm (I guess the FedEx clock is an hour ahead) it arrive in my little Austin suburb. I ask if I could come and get it but the postal lady said it was out for delivery.
Fingers Crossed.

The Crap has Landed!

10X sweet, sweet Texas air
1x Golfing cap
1x Golfing bag
1x Snap camera
1x Iphone case
3x hdmi extenders

And the creme de la crap:
1x Rovio charging station, sans Rovio mobile perv-cam.

Thanks, Woot!

I have an update:

The post office delivered my Random Crap to someone else...and they are looking in to it. I'm doubting I'll ever get this one...

PWND! This should be called the bag of The Touch of Satan (1971) not Bountiful October Cornucopia.

1 - PGA Backpack
1 - PGA Cap
1 - 2010 desk calendar (I got 6 of them one month ago)
1 iPhone 3G/3G S fitted case

Dear woot,
Another Bucket of Candy, another random assortment weighing in at 6.9 lbs:
- 1 new McGladrey PGA Hat to donate
- 3 new pulsating water sprinklers to give to someone who can afford a lawn in San Diego
- 1 new McGladrey PGA Backpack to donate to the Title 1 school where my wife teaches
- 2 new Philips F-F foldable HDMI Cable Extenders. Going to make some male cables happy.
- 2 new Fitted Cases for iPhone 3G/3GS (one for me if I find an iPhone, one for a coworker)
- 4 new Fact or Crap Music edition calendars (to go with the previous 8 received from September’s bag). I am the winner of the most music calendars.

Threepiecewoot, I have a theory. The first two bags I received were pretty good – one even had a baby car seat with no recalls (evidently Woot knew we’d be pregnant in 2 months….) But, the last two have been appropriately titled. And, these bags were the only item I purchased during the woot-offs. Does Woot give preferential crap to those that purchase other items during the monthly buying frenzy?
If I am ever graced with another bag, would you put one of those USB plasma balls offered in years past in there? It’s not for me, it’s for my mom. I shall post heartfelt thanks.

I'm still hoping, but mine still has WV as the last known location.

My Bountiful October Cornucopia came a day early (3.5 lbs):

1x PGA Hat
1x PGA Shoulder Bag
1x SNAP Pink Digital Camera
1x iPhone 3G/GS Red & Black Case
1x Barbie Scratch & Design Fashion Jewelry kit
2x HDMI cable extenders
3x Sansa earbuds
1x USB A to USB B cable (for Sansa)
3x Sansa to USB cables
13x bags of Texas air (not sure why people count those)
0x Sansa (anybody have an extra Sansa they can spare?)
0x letters from threepiecewoot

The good news: no more calendars or kids' T-shirts. Thanks for the fun, Woot!

The Usual Crap:
PGA Hat
PGA Bag
2 HDMI Extenders
Snap! Camera

The Unusual Crap:
1 Plain White box with a very strange looking black contraption. On the box was a green sticky note that said CE00637A and also had a small round red sticker that said "RB." I removed the sticky to find a sticker that said:
LM19004
Landmark
Universal Spotting CameraMounting Bracket, Made 1n China.

(The typos in this description are not mine). I took pics but have no idea how to upload them here...

Anyone have any idea (or need) of what this is?

Google tells us:
"Universal Spotting Camera Bracket Digiscoping Bracket for Spotting Scopes Compatible with Tripod Adaptable Cameras Digiscope Adapters.
The Universal Spotting Camera Bracket from Yukon turns a spotting scope into an ultra-telephoto lens for digiscoping purposes.
It's fully adjustable to allow any camera with a tripod mount to be attached and coaligned with the scope"

So it lets you turn a spotting telescope into a camera lens.

Looks like its $19.99 from various sources.

1 PGA hat
1 PGA backpack
1 Brothers in Arms Action figure
2 HDMI extenders
1 2010 "The Brain Game" calendar
1 iPhone case

And the real prize...

1 Nishika 3D camera

I'm certainly not threepiecewoot, nor can I tell you as eloquently as he would but...No

My crap was estimated to arrive today, but the post office didn't get it until this morning and it doesn't look like it made it to the truck for delivery today.

Since tomorrow is my anniversary (10th) and I'm supposed to give my wife something related to diamond, I'm hoping my 4.8lb bag contains a diamond ring or necklace or earrings.

I got:

PGA hat
PGA backpack thingy
3x Gilmore sprinklers
Caribiner camera
2x Fact or Crap music desktop calendar
Arctic Mosquito Shield

Can't complain since I was condsidering buying the sprinklers when they were on Woot.

Same here, SD cards in bubble envelope with no case or anything. At first I thought there was nothing in there... Probably was from a bulk pack. Not that big of a deal as it's not like I'm going to be using the case anyway.

And now for the Bucket of Candy: 4.1 lb., 12x12x18:

14x Texas EcoAir (2/3 of the box was filled with it!)
2x Philips HDMI Cable Extender
1x PGA backpack
1x PGA hat
1x Pink SNAP! digital camera
1x iPhone 3G/3GS Case
1x Barbie Scratch & Design Jewelry Kit
1x Stainless Steel Canteen

The canteen will come in handy, and I might actually have a use for that camera.

I got

PGA Hat
PGA bag
3 HDMI extenders
Snap Camera
gold gym bag
Iron Gym pullup (no box and in parts)
Razor Mamba gaming mouse (no box and does have the charging stand and usb cable.)and it does work.

on the shipping lable says 1lb and was delivered by Fedex.

It is 2:30 and the mail hasn't even arrived yet. I'm telling you, why did they have to switch out my favorite mail lady to another route?

I bet someone paid them to just to prolong your agony!!

The bags have been worse for a while now across the board. It use to be that if you got a Bucket of Candy it seemed like they were items that woot sold at one point in them. So you had a chance to get things like Zune, Sansa, Car Seat, RC helli, Solar chargers..etc. It seemed like a good number of people got good things at least 25%+. Also there was alot more randomness to the Bucket of Candy.

Woot seemed to use the Bucket of Candy as their advertising budget or considered it a Loss leader.

Now it seems like they buy things only for the Bucket of Candy. Alot more people seem to be getting a very similar and generic bag. A few people will get a good thing or two but overall most will be disappointed. Right now it basically seems the Bucket of Candy is a 1 or 2 in 3000 chance to get the Letter.

Now it seems to me that woot trys to make money on the majority of bags. I mean woot probably got these Iphone cases for pennies. 2010 Calandars pennies. Hat and towels a few pennies.

Woot has become alot more like every other Deal of the Day site. I know i personally stopped recommending the Bucket of Candy and woot. Its a deal of the day site, nothing super special anymore.
