You should have gotten 3 craps and 1 bag at the least and you obviously got only 1 (which is the "worst" case of missing woots I've read so far; at least the others were only short 1 w/ the question of if the lotion and shower gel were counted as 2)

I've e-mailed them.
I will say the whole anticipation and this board has been really fun. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed in my lack of craps, but I'm confident it will be taken care of. I'd still do this again.

Good things come to those who Woot!

2 - HDMI cables
3 - behind-the-ear muffs
2 - cedar grilling planks 6-pack
1 - hand bag black & white striped
1 - Zoobies sleeping bag/stuffed animal

My kids were singing "Dad's got a baaaag of craaaaaap" in the car when they saw the box at the doorstep.

Considering my 8-year old grabbed the zoobie before I could get it out of the box, and the 11-year old grabbed the earmuffs and the handbag, I think I made out quite well!

Delivered to addressee! That's me!

Now to find out where they actually delivered it to....

Got my 130 lb Big o' Cosmos today.

Unfortunately the only thing in it was an illegal immigrant. So it seems like I'm missing 2 craps. Unless they are counting what the illegal immigrant did en route, but I don't know how they could be sure how many extra craps would have ended up in the box by the time it arrived.

Also the immigrant was severely dehydrated but so far seems to be recovering well enough.

This is so sad I had to laugh.. I hope they send you another piece of poo.

So I >finally< figured out the whole my fedex schtuff and my dimensions are: 12.3 in. x 9.3 in. x 4.9 in. And it has gone back up to 1.2lbs. More to love.

Can't wait to get my Big Orphaned Cetacea, it's been on my mind all day! Also, where is everyone getting the dimensions of the box? All I can see is my craps weigh 2.1 pounds and are hanging out (for an extra day or two) in WI.

If you want to see the dimensions you have to go to where you see your shipping status at FedEx and download the "FedEx Desktop". It's now on my desktop and when you track with it it gives out a little more info. Good Luck!

Random Crap - level 5
1 Crappy Bag
1 Superfly monkey keychain
1 Essential meadows lotion/bodywash set

my first Big o' Cosmos, the anticipation was fun, the results were crap! I emailed service on the lack of a 3rd item.

I got mine in the mail today, and I'm too lazy to post a picture at the moment, but here's what I got:

1x Recycled tote (black & white) like most people got
1x 180s earmuffs
1x stainless steel eco canteen
1x Hunter Ellis autographed t-shirt
6x Woot! Cedar grilling planks
1x package of Colgate Wisps
1x Intec Wave Wii controller
2x ExtremeMac Incharge Travel ipod/iphone chargers
1x Motorola video baby monitor (camera only)
2x powercord for Motorola video baby monitor
1x Eye-Fi Geo 2gb
1x Eye-Fi Share 2gb
10x bags of texas air
1x bag of texas air that deflated


Needless to say I'm super happy with this haul, everything I got was great and usable with the possible exception of the flimsy-feeling tote bag, and the video baby monitor if I can't figure out how to use it without the parent half. Also it was 80 degrees today so I can't use the earmuffs for awhile.

I actually have a Wii and only one remote, so I was delighted by that, and I've thought of getting an Eye-Fi before but didn't want to gamble the $20 or so, but now I have 2 versions to try.

I have an iphone 4 and I'm not optimistic that the charges will work for that, but a buddy of mine still has an original iphone, so I'll give him one, and the other will hopefully work for my ipod classic.

Here's the baby monitor I got: Amazon Link
I got the video camera part and the two power cords, but no parent screen or rechargeable batteries. My brother has the wireless security camera system that was just on woot the other day, so if we can figure out how to connect them, we're in business.

The shirt has an airbrushed image of Hunter Ellis (IMDB) on it (from Survivor Marquesas fame), and is signed by him. Under the picture it mentions "survivorfire.com", which is a still-active survivor fan community. Maybe this was a prize they had at some point way back?

And I've never tried grilling planks or Colgate Wisps, but I guess now I have a chance.


(oh, and I think mine was Level 5 crap, but I played the first 4 levels, parachuted back to the beginning, and then played the first two again until I died, so I think it was 5 finished levels? Also, it was 7.1 lbs)

Level 1 crap:
2 lbs
1 tote thing
1 mini monkey
1 spin dock (swivel for laptop)
1 headphonies designer micro speaker that looks like a USA soccer player with a soccer ball head
7 bags of Texas air

Level 2 crap:
7 lbs
12 cedar planks (2 packages)
A pair of aqua globes
1 tote thing
2 tabletop tripods
1 pair toddler flip flops
13 bags of Texas air

Well, I figure it's about time that I put up a post concerning the status of my Level 4 Big o' Cosmos, obtained via the game, after more than three hours of server problem frustration.

Received tracking number e-mail from Woot on 4/6. By 4/7, FedEx site had my package at 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg), ETA 4/13, shipping by SmartPost, arriving at FedEx Dallas location 10:39 PM, on 4/6, and departing same at 5:21 PM, 4/7.

Today it now has the weight at 1.2 lbs (.5 kg), ETA 4/15, arriving New Berlin, WI, 10:06 AM, 4/11.

Argh!

I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, I'll be lucky enough to get a letter, but with my luck, it'll be a years supply of Turtle Wax.

(OK, so that dates me.)

But with what Woot has done to the forums for this, who knows where this post will show up, or who will see it. (Edit: Oh, wow. It appears to have posted at the end, as expected. Cool.)

I'll let you know what I get, whenever I may get it.

My 2nd Bellydancing Old Canadian (7ish lbs, level 1) is now in town, will most likely be delivered tomorrow if Smartpost has not added a day to their normal routine. (Most probable.)

I have salmon thawing the fridge and filled my propane tank over the weekend for immediate use of the grilling planks.

I'm incredibly ashamed and annoyed with myself that I just now realized the significance behind (The great and powerful) (and benevolant) (also awesome)threepiecewoot's name. I almost don't deserve the letter that I'm getting tomorrow.

Level 5 baggie

2-Earmuff things
3-Size XL T-Shirts (one of a skeleton under a mushroom cloud tree, one of some advanced science equation, and one of a bunch of steam animals coming out of a cup of coffee)
1-LED grow light, works 1-Water bottle, huge dent in the side
1-Leather glove (left hand)
1-Hexbridge Nano Bridge Battle Habitat game 1-Windchaser halogen patio heater

It's all garage sale fodder, but cool, I guess.

Random Crap Level 4

23.9lbs, 19"x19"x23"

1 Tripod with loose parts in bag (looks salvageable)
1 Auto Jack with broken and missing parts (trash)
1 DVD Player with incorrect accessory pack (might be ok if universal remote will work)
4 Zebra shopping bags

Got mine. 2nd crap ever. First one I got loaded up with 3 MP3 players, a backpack, and just some all around cool stuff. No such luck this time. I received:

1 - Sirius GPP black/white striped recycled bag
1 - mini flying monkey
2 - 6 inch USB cables
1 - 2011 woot calendar

I'd piss and moan, but the commandments clearly state that you should only expect crap. What can I say ... I gambled, and got a load I would not pay 8 bucks for if I were buying. The hunt was fun though.

I got mine a few days ago. Level 7:

earmuffs
pair of agoo leggings
Rabbit-brand wine bottle stoppers
colgate wisp toothbrush
orange poof ball football
digital kitchen scale
small tote bag

I was pretty happy! I can actually use most of this stuff

Mine sat at "Fedex has received shipping information" from 4/6 to 4/12. I was frustrated as hell. Almost shot an email off to Woot to find out which monkey was hiding my box, but decided to check the tracking one more time. Sure enough it has departed Texas.

Shipping info received 4/6. Arrived at Fedex location on 4/11 but it didn't show that until 4/12. Departed Texas 4/12. Est. devlivery 4/16. Weight went from 1 pound to 11.1 pounds. I bet you it's fifty 2010 desktop calendars. Or maybe a sperm test they forgot to sell. Who knows. I'll let you know what I find out.

I have a 2.2 pounder, Level 4 on the way.
Dimensions: 8.91^3.

Looks like it might be another run of the mill bucket of crayons.

Will update on Thursday, the 14th.

I got 2 reusable women's shopping bags, broken walkti-talkies, and women's leggings.

i am not a woman

A sperm test. LOL. Good one!

Would that not seriously be the funniest thing ever?

"My bag is here! I got:
- a recycled bag
- 286 bags of Texas air
- a glass lid
- a lampshade
- some cables
- oh, and A SPERM TEST."

FUN. NEEE.

In the box, sometimes there's a letter saying that not everything could be sent in the box; that something was too heavy or too large. Often other arrangements have to be made with a freight company to drop it off. Sometimes they're big screen TVs, most of the time they seemed to be pallets. Some pallets had mixes of stuff; other pallets were nearly uniform and mostly one thing, like car wax ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89F-TOVQtrI ) or toy soldiers. And there might have been one that was all coffee makers, but I don't know the story behind that.

Supposedly there are only one or two letters per Big o' Cosmos batch, but no one knows if there were any for the past few months.

I have wondered if the letters only go to people who live in houses.

I'm pretty impressed with my Big o' Cosmos this time:

1 x black and white recycled tote bag
1 x Nerf type basketball (not sure but around $6 on Amazon)
1 x Pandigital one touch scanner ($53.85 on Amazon minus the free SD card)
1 x Little Tykes My Real Video Camera ($51.00-$64.99 on Amazon)

yeah it was one cup coffee makers. i got like 45. i stopped counting after a while. i'd get two or three boxes (of 2 coffee makers) a day for like 2 weeks

Mine finally updated today. It went from being in Texas to out for delivery in Ohio, and a day early at that.

It says 1 lbs / 0,5 kgs, but why would I need such a big box: 14 in. x 10.5 in. x 8.8 in.

:/

1x Hunter Ellis autographed t-shirt

I also played thru 6 levels to get my bag. Ended up with fun stuff and the autographed wrestlemania program. I wonder if others who played through 5 or 6 got one of the signed items?? I know there was a baseball card, Nancy Kerrigan card (was it signed?) and one or two others...

BTW- posters -remember to add your post using "reply" to last post, or it may be lost somewhere in the thread; and keep posting weights and levels you won it on...

Hi all:

I was holding off on posting my progress until I got some information about my Level 1 crap, which was just a 1.0 lb holder for the past week and appeared to not make any progress. Finally, it made its way to Dallas and it's a doozy:

Level 1 Crap - 23.8 lbs 16.8in^3 ETA 4/18
Level 2 Crap - 3.1 lbs . 17.9 in. x 12.6 in. x 12.4 in. ETA 4/14
Level 10 Crap - 1.3 lbs 12.3 in. x 9.2 in. x 5.2 in. ETA 4/14

I love seeing everything people have been getting. Lots of neat stuff

That's fine...more Bags of Crap for the rest of us in the future. There are no expectations with Crap. It could be crap, like yours or it could be wonderful. It's an $8 crapshoot. I can't wait to get mine tomorrow!

So let me get this straight... you purchase something called "Random Crap"... you're told to expect crappy items... and yet you're disappointed when you receive crappy items?

I posted this once already but it seems to have vanished into the ether. If I click on my name and hit the permalink, it takes me to a page but my post isn't there. This time, no pic (maybe that will improve the odds of my post actually appearing).

I received my Level 6 Big o' Cosmos today. 4.6 pounds of joy containing:

16 - bags of Texas air
1 - iDealPak 8-in-1 value pack for iPod
1 - 250GB Hard Drive for older version XBox 360
1 - Eyeclops projector carrying case
1 - small black and white floral tote
2 - remanufactured ink cartridges for Epson Stylus printer (one black and one cyan)
1 - 2 CD set of Favorite Bedtime Songs from the babygenius series

I think they have shipped to a business address before....

IIRC, they sent someone a pallet of flat screen tv's - open box / returns etc.

His delivery address was at his place of employment - a tv repair shop.

Crap! They moved my delivery date from Wednesday to Thursday. At least it's now in my city! Anyway, Britney's Oily Clam is 2.1# and was won on Level 6.

Very possible, as it was recently offered as a woot.

Got my Level 8, 10.4 lb, 18.4 in. x 12.8 in. x 12.4 in. Crap:

12x Woot Grilling Planks
1x Snowman digital photo frame ornament (batteries are leaking acid and the ornament actually looks used with little chunks of nastiness on it)
1 Black & white striped bag
2 Wrap around ear muffs
48 Strawberry bags

Not a bad hul, overall, for my first Big o' Cosmos! I'll put the ear muffs and grilling planks to use, but the rest of that stuff is being given away. Those strawberry bags will haunt me for years to come.
