(12) packets of Texas air - 6 liters maybe?

(1) Bag of Crab
(1) Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner refill

Not completely useless carrots. The shirts are off to Salvation Army and the pendant will be good for halloween (or disassembly). Might actually buy the automatic toilet bowl cleaner though. lol

I actually bought the automatic toilet bowl cleaner when moofi put it up the week before the Woot-off. The thing works surprisingly well.

My previous Bundle of Crops arrived in an official, logo-adorned Woot! box. This one came in a plain, unmarked brown box, perhaps befitting the fact that it was even crappier crap. This one contained:

• Bright green bags of stale air from Texas
  
• A cheap tote bag adorned with leaping orcas (the "bag" for the "crap")
  
• Five extra-small cotton polo shirts in various colors
  
• One dozen poorly made skull-and-bones pendants with non-funtional LED lights
  
• Two "Wibbly Fun" Koosh-ball knockoffs
  
• One Furniture Cleaner and Polish kit
  
• One Energizer "Energi To Go" portable cell phone battery charger
  

Finally got my very first Bindle of Carrots, after many attempts.



1 Footflush
1 Flipflop bag
Several bags of Texas air

So maybe it's just me (not that I'm ungrateful!), but I would not have counted the air as one of my 3 craps. And there wasn't a letter or anything else in the box at all. Strange?

Contact woot's customer service and tell them you were missing two craps. They may make it up to you in a good way, or a really really bad way, but they WILL make it up to you.

My post office is HORRIBLE. It arrived in Ankeny on Saturday afternoon per Fedex so I went to the post office after work today to pick it up and they couldn't find the box! DAMN THEM! They told me to come back tomorrow. My guess they are opening the box and taking all 1.2 lbs of my good stuff!

Well, when I opened my Bindle of Carrots, I couldn't help but tear the box open and find my prize right away; fourteen subtle, plump bags of Texas air -- jackpot. It had been over a year since my last Bindle of Carrots and I was jonesing bad for the good stuff. I knew I'd have to ration it for a long while - maybe a bag a month - until my luck struck again - but I couldn't help but break open one bag of the good stuff right away. As I pierced open the soft, smooth, green pouch, I felt it burst forth with the sweet smelling Texas air. It filled my lungs and I was taken back - transported in mind and spirit to another place. I might have walking into a fine restaurant in Downtown Dallas, or taking a deep breath in the Astrodome, or maybe sighing while leaning against the Alamo itself. These bags of Texas air will be my treasure int he coming months.

Oh, there was also some other stuff:
1 - Harbinger "Mucka" bicycle gloves
3 - Sandisk USB cables for ???
2 - Wibbly Fun "balls"
1 - Furniture polish kit
1 - Footflush toilet flusher
2 - Lunch/Gift bags
1 - Bag of Orca

Thanks, sent an email. I suppose a Roomba is too much to hope for, so here's hoping it's not a whole lot of car wax!

That works out to 59.2 ounces, almost the same as 5 cans of soda. If the 59.2 ounces was solid gold, it would be worth ~$100k at today's price.

Not that I expect 3.7 pounds of solid gold, but it's fun to set an upper bound on what it might be worth

This is my second bag; the last one I had was some time ago and someone set up a google spreadsheet for us to compare our items and their assumed values. Has anyone done that this time? I'll probably post the list of my stuff to bagsofcrap.com as well, but if someone wants a more real-time comparison mechanism the google spreadsheet worked quite well.

I just don't get it... I log in to My FedEx and it still doesn't tell me the dimensions on my box..

Mine is coming to Ankeny too... but not until the 31st.

Supposed to get this today. But it seems to be lost between Houston and Austin. Is it weird that my package goes from Dallas to Houston to Austin when Austin is only 3 ish hours from Dallas? Seems weird to me.....

Yay, my box came today!!

1x grocery bag featuring a crab
2x hedstrom wibbly fun - both zigzag style
1x chinese skull necklace - batteries dead, one may have been leaking...
1x prince vibration dampener
2x omnimount furniture cleaner & polish
1x tennis racket end for wii sports
1x golf club end for wii sports

I am always using reusable grocery bags so I'm sure Mr. Crabs will be put to good use.
The younger kids have claimed the wibbly fun.
One of the teens *MAY* claim the battery-less skull necklace, but probably as a joke.
We don't have any tennis rackets, but maybe someone I know does...
We have furniture, so we will give the polish a try.
The wii game pieces don't have stuff that is required to make them work, so they have already hit the trash.

I am thoroughly pleased that I did not spoil myself by reading the board, it was a lot more fun not knowing what to expect. I will definitely avoid it again if I am lucky enough to have another Bundle of Crops in my future!

Thanks for the crapola - it's been fun as always woot!!

I got mine a day early. :-)

• 12 bags of Texas air
  
• 1 Classic Foot Flush
  
• 2 furniture polish kits
  
• 1 "bag of crab" (the bag with the crab on it)
  
• 2 smaller black bags with green floral print
  
• 4 Wibbly Fun fidget toys (1 per kid -- woot is scaring me)
  
• 2 Rub-N-Color sets
  
• 1 Sylvania SYL-296 Behind the Head Style Headphones
  
• 3 SanDisk USB to ??? cables

I came into work this morning with my box waiting on my desk.

Here are the deliciousnesses I got:

4 size small polo shirts for when I lose a lot of weight and bone density.

1 crabby bag. I'm allergic to crustaceans, so as long as I don't eat the bag, we should be good.

1 iPad case.

1 iPhone case with most of the alphabet (apparently I have to know E is for Elephant and G is for Giraffe as it's cocky enough not to fill in those blanks for me).

2 wibbly fun balls which will be projectiles at the office.

1 furniture cleaning kit to mop up the coffee spills that the wibbly balls create.

Awesome haul. Thanks Woot!

I got something no one else has received yet: Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter

1 lobster bag

2 wibbly fun balls. Both smell fruity.

5 small polo shirts... 2 brown, 1 grey, 1 white/red and 1 red .

1 glow in the dark prince shock absorber.

2 "America Motor Cycles" key chain fobs.

Mine will be here today...

Same Bindle here. Rock n roll!

I got the exact same box. Schrodinger's Cat shirt that my girlfriend is repurposing.

This very well could be a good thing. .7 lbs is extremely light. Hope ya get a letter. Be sure to let us know what you get.

My girlfriend has just informed me that my 3.3 lbs Bottle of Champagne is home waiting for me. Another 8 hours before I see what sort of treasure I've received.

I'm in Milwaukee and the box sat at a sorting facility 15 miles away for twice as long as it took to get there in the first place.

so for those of us still waiting (and with really pathetically light packages in transit) can someone say for sure whether everytime they sell bags of crap that there is at least 1 letter sent out with a bigger (or gag) prize on its way? I havent seen a letter reported here yet, it would give me something to hope for while I count down these next two work days

Well the way I see it, if there hasn't been a letter reported yet that increases the remaining folks chances of getting one. Hang in there fellow Wooter all hope is not lost.

Just remember, Woot moves in mysterious ways. I don't reckon anyone has ever received a real Bindle of Carrots yet, but who knows. Gardens need fertilizing so there is even value in that.

As far as I know, someone doesnt always get a letter. It probably just boils down to what they have in the warehouse and if they have some large items to get rid of.


Also Im sad. My tracking hadnt updated for 4 damn days (4 days ago it was 2.5 hours away in Atlanta).. Now finally as of 10 minutes ago, it is here in my town, and I must expect 1-2 days longer for delivery. Scheduled Delivery was for today. UGh.

Expecting my package Thursday. 3.2 lbs. 17.7"x12.8"x12.2". If my calculations are correct, after subtracting the weight of the box, it should contain about 20 refurbished iPods. and a whole bunch of Texas air.

My second Bundle of Crops and it's crap-tastic!

20 bags of Texas air

1 Crab-adorned bag

2 Wibbly Fun balls

1 furniture polish kit

1 LED showerhead (looks new, unknown if works)

And the best part:
1 no-name (no really, there's NO brand name) iPhone/iPod "Micro home Charger with Charge Syne Cable" [sic]. Charger/cable not included. Only a USB-AC plug converter left. Apparently someone else got POWER SIMPLE QUICK [sic].

It all came in a wonderfully large box the cats will love.

My Crap sits in my local Post Office. It waits. I can feel it. It beckons to me from it's cold prison and I am informed that I won't see it for at least another day.

Mine finally left New Berlin yesterday afternoon. The post office has received electronic shipping info, but as far as I can tell they still don't have my crap. It still has an ETA of today, and I will be horribly crushed if it doesn't arrive.

My wife informed me of the arrival of our first Bodaciously Awesome Carrot!

My 4.5 lb box included:
1 x Furniture Polish
1 x Wibbly Ball
5 x XS polo shirts
1 x Mystery color set (but the set has 12 MYSTERIES!)
1 x Crab Sack

And the big ticket item:
11 bags of Texas Air (1 unfortunately deflated, lowering this box's value by at least $45)

We'll try out the polish, we'll use the crab sack, the shirts fit my wife, and the Wibbly ball and the shipping box will make great cat toys. The Mystery color thing may provide whole minutes of entertainment, but we'll see how it turns out.

My 1.0 pound, 36.4 in. x 17.6 in. x 7.8 in. Bindle of Carrots says it's "On FedEx vehicle for delivery".

I thought the USPS ultimately delivers the package, color me confused?

Got mine finally :-))
- 2 wiggly balls
- 5 shirts (size S)
- Furniture polish kit
- lobster bag
- and last but not the least, a headphone MP3 player!!! It has instructions but everything is written in chinese or korean...so no idea how i'm gonna figure out how to use this!
No bags of air!!!
Thanks, woot!

Waaaahhhh!

My Bundle of Crops took 3 days to get from Chino, CA to Los Angeles (a whopping 36 miles) and still has to make it up the west coast to the Seattle area. My original "Est. Delivery" date of 9/1 slipped to 9/2 over the weekend and now reports as 9/6!

Damn snails are going to take two full weeks to get from Dallas to Seattle.

I'm gonna have some salt waiting for them when they finally arrive.

Blah! I'm in the same boat.... Mine has been in Charlotte since the 28th is now at my local post office in NC but I have to wait an additional 1-2 days for delivery when it was orginally scheduled to be delivered today!!

If mine isn't delivered today with the normal mail drop off, I am heading to the PO to see if they have it there and it just didn't make it on the truck. You could try the same.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

Out for delivery even though they bumped the arrival date to 9/1.

Just put a BIG note on the front door saying WE ARE HOME!

Better make sure the iphone is charged up to record the unboxing!

It's also still showing 8.2 pounds, however I keep reminding myself bigger carp is not necessarily better carp. It just may be a lot more of the same carp.

Wow.. that could be the furthest distance a Bundle of Crops has ever traveled. Good luck and thank you for your service. Not that they would likely ever do the pallet of car wax again.. but wouldnt that be effin funny. your base would have the best looking tanks,hummers, Bradleys and choppers in the desert :P
