Him: "So you're trying to learn how to play guitar, huh?"

Me: "Um, no..."

Him: "Then why did you buy a guitar?"

Me: "..."


So here's my haul:



1 Spectrum Guitar (level 1)
4 Tote bags (levels 1,2,8)
3 baby bottle drying racks (level 8)
1 aqua globe set (level 2)
2 tabletop tripods (level 2)
2 ear warmers (level 8)
1 foam football (level 2)
2 sets of cedar grilling planks (level 8)

The guitar was definitely the coolest thing, though it was evident it had been sitting on a shelf for a LONG time or was a returned item. The portable (probably piece of Battlefield Earth (2000)) amp that was supposed to be included was not. No clue how much it's worth, but I guess I'll take up guitar in the near future.

Not being greedy here, just curious: the guitar box was my level 1 crap. It had a single tote bag in it. Technically, aren't I supposed to receive 2 more craps?

edit: For clarification, I don't care about getting 2 more craps, I am just curious for future craps. I have enough crap at the moment.

How many BOCs did you pay for? Oh and what was the original weight of your shipment?

Level 5

4.5 lbs/2.0 kg

--------------------

-- 19 bags of Texas air (2 without valuable content)

-- 1 gwen's nest tote rec. bag (black & white horizontal striped)

-- 1 pack of woot! cedar grilling planks (set of 6)

-- 1 genuine made in China 'Golden Crown' purse (ART.NO.A493 made exclusively by children 9 years or under)

-- 1 signed photo of a Detroit baseball player (player unknown to me, looks like it's a real signature not a mass copy)

-- 1 Uniden UDWC23 Wireless Video Surveillance Accessory Portable Indoor Camera Black (no charger or Uniden UDW10003 Wireless Video Survillance Portable Security System) just the camera

-- NO bags or envelopes of money

-- NO 173" Samsung plazma T.V.


Thanks Woot

Paid for all of them(3). The combined weight of all shipments was 23 lbs.

2.8 + 11.6 + 8.8

Yes, exactly 3 boxes.

Update!

My package is coming a day later (the 12th), and is .1 lbs heavier (7.3lbs).

Must be a lot of labels on it.

Mine finally started working after 2 days, so I'd check later tonight or tomorrow and you should be golden.

deftoned989 wrote:Yes, exactly 3 boxes.

Considering it's supposed to be one per person I'd suggest you thank your lucky stars you got all three and got quite a few great Big o' Cosmos items.

But that's just me.

Sarah Jones probably wrote that. She was a contestant on Marquesas (Season 4). She didn't do really well IIRC.

I really, really urge you to unpack the purse and everything else that has any filling, and look under the box flaps. For awhile there getting a baseball card was associated with getting The Letter. My card was for Rollie Fingers, although it came inside the Great White Envelope, with The Letter. Others reported the same thing.

If one gets this letter saying that there is another box coming on the way, would that box show up in the FedEx tracker?

MegaloX wrote:If one gets this letter saying that there is another box coming on the way, would that box show up in the FedEx tracker?

Generally, no. It is usually large enough that it is sent FedEx Freight, and will require a phone call to arrange delivery.

there seems to be a smattering of bizarre crapola this go round! mine left houston last night...it's bound to show up somewhere soon...

Oh, true. I guess that was a Jatravartid question. Thanks!

Is the letter needed to receive the item, or is it just to let you know it's coming?

I'm waiting on my first ever Barrel of Crustaceans. woot says mine weighs in at 2.6 lbs. It's still listed as not being picked up. My roommate also has a Big o' Cosmos coming. His said 4.7 lbs, but FedEx says it's 3.7 lbs. It seems odd that mine isn't showing as in transit.

I'm really curious to see if my package shrinks or grows. lol

Alright, so I got my stuff today. Apparently they ran out of stuff on the L10'ers ... I only got 2 crappy items and a bag in a 1.2 pound package. But nonetheless, here goes:

1 - Woot Monkey Keychain
1 - Fleece baby cover
1 - Black/White Zebra bag

Best of luck to those still waiting.

I haven't got mine yet, but I was level 10, and my package is a little over 7 pounds.

Nothing that I could find right now...

I searched everything including opening the Woot cedar boards

The bottom of the box is not sealed totally. So it could have easily fallen out.

That would suck!!!

crimson8k wrote:Is the letter needed to receive the item, or is it just to let you know it's coming?

To the best of my understanding, it's gonna come whether you "get" the letter or not. But the letter alerts you to be expecting a call from FedEx freight to schedule a time to be home and accept delivery.

I got my Level 7 random crap!

5.1 lbs

1 x soccer ball
1 x agoo leggings (pink - for my niece)
1 x lunch bag

Soooooooooooo...I did a little sleuthing tonight. No car wax delivery or otherwise. I signed up for myfedex to try and get dimensions and, according to 1-800 notes, they may have been calling me for setting up a new account. No pre-letter bonanza here!

I still look forward to my 8.6 lb 14x14x14 Big Orphaned Cetacea.

Got my first crap today, it was 7.8lbs 13.8inches. My husbands jealous because his is only 2.2lbs. I received:

1- 29 piece Emergency Roadside Kit

and last but not least:
1- Memorex MiniMove ipod boombox

Thank you Woot

Here we go. I present you with Texas Air ---->

I love your post!

Level 10 Crap to arrive Tues the 12th. So far, the measurements are 17.8 in. x 12.7 in. x 12.2 in. and says 6,7 lbs. so I guess I'll find out the exact poundage next week. I can't believe they mailed them out so fast. I haven't even had time to think about them, and already they're arriving on people's doorsteps. My question is this...Do only people who live near TX get the letters? I live on the East Coast, and don't anticipate getting one either way, but wondered if they only do it for people in surrounding areas and just over the TX state border. Anyone?

Aw man! I LOVE those strawberry bags!

My first Big o' Cosmos, so exciting! Here's what I got:

2x 6 packs of grilling planks
2x handcrank powered flashlights w/ detachable pocket knives and phone charger attachments (none of which I can use)
2x HDMI cables
3x headphone splitters
2x earmuffs
a small handbag
and an instruction manual for a bluetooth headset (but no headset). Cruel april fool's day joke, woot?

Regardless, very cool. I've been waiting for the grilling planks to come back, so I was happy to get two. Already had some earmuffs, but I'm likely to lose them anyways. Needed an HDMI cable, and I can't wait to try getting four people to listen to an MP3 player at once. Kinda bummed about the headset though. Would've been nice to have a rechargeable one since the one I have that is currently collecting dust takes a QUADRUPLE A battery. Oh well. Thanks for everything else though!

Oh well, the anticipation is usually the good part.

Did anyone else's bag leave Dallas and then return to the same place?
