I can vouch for your theory. I use a flash-blocker and have to override to get the updated/upgraded/newandimproved MyFedex to load.

Fellow NY-er here... yes, I also get taxed left and right... parking went up from $4 to $8 by my job, and tolls went up too. It's getting too expensive to be in NYC. Counting down the days 'til another MTA hike.

My Bundle of Crops has left Wisconsin. Tragically it was there for almost three full hours though somehow did not drink any beer or eat any sausage - it still weighs in at 3.8 pounds.

Perhaps even more mysteriously the anticipated delivery date has now moved from 10/5 to 10/4. I may see my crap by Tuesday now!

my date got pushed back to the 5th? why woot?! Wwhhyyy!?

My Burst Of Clarity tracking number was also Cc'd to Cklassen@woot.com

None of any of my other Woots have been Cc'd to this address.

I live in New York so I am used to getting taxed for everything, but what I want to know is when did Woot change their process of mailing "3" bags. It has been a while since of I have acquired the wonderful bag of carp, but I always remembered receiving at least 3 bags of some sort.

They are talking about the "fat" tax and bottled water tax....what is next I ask. Btw fat tax is for candy sweet products.

It's been a few years since Woot had you select 1, 2, or 3 craps. I think they got tired of people complaining that they got in a hurry and clicked the big stupid button without changing their order quantity from 1 to 3 (some boneheads even ordered 2). Woot customer service would nearly always bump people who asked up to 3 but I imagine it was a big hassle to keep track of who had 1 and who had 3 and who ordered 1 but asked for 3 and do the recharge for the extra dollar or two, so they went to just ordering 3 for everyone. You only ever got one bag (or bucket or picnic basket) no matter how many craps you ordered, though.

1 reusable shopping bag
1 goal poster
1 Deadliest Catch Sea Adventure Game

@eldiablohijo: That's disappointing. I was all geared up to receive a toddler.

Also, we who have not yet had our Bridge Over Canada delivered aren't so much tracking the packages as we are stalking the packages. I may be served with a restraining order...

an email? With a tracking number? What is this futuristic enhancement to seller-to-buyer correspondence you speak of?

I'm also disappointed the baby was not included! What was the weight of your bag?

Scheduled for delivery today. Going to take extra long lunch to go home and wait on the mail man. The greatest thing is when your kids open the box, crap or no crap they think it is the best stuff ever. Drives the wife crazy. That is what it's all about.

Apparently it's getting itself a cheap rental car.

Is that a "The Office" reference?

LLovely wrote:I'm also disappointed the baby was not included! What was the weight of your bag?

3.7 lbs

eldiablohijo wrote:3.7 lbs

Interesting, I am expecting a 3.8lb bag, and I have a toddler at home too!

So it appears that everyone is getting the same stuff. I think I know what to expect in my Bundle of Crops.. :\

eldiablohijo wrote:3.7 lbs

more importantly, what is the weight of the baby! minus it's natural Bindle of Carrots, of course.

spudmiester wrote:Just got the same. Sad, sad day.

That said, I'll probably shell out my eight bucks for another Bundle of Crops

I would rather that then the refurbed wireless phone set complete with ear funk I got once. As soon as I opened the woot box all you could smell was stale cigarette smoke... And then I opened the phone box... eeeewwwww. It went immediately in the trash then into the dumpster.

Mine came in a much bigger box than was needed to hold it all. They had to use like 10 Texas Air to pack it in there.

Oh well, I reuse the Texas Air.

I'm fairly disappointed in this bag, I don't even think that I got $8 worth of stuff, it all seems like Dollar Store crap.

Oh well, I'll probably still try again if i'm not told I can't.

eldiablohijo wrote:

Just don't open it. You don't want that kind of pollution getting loose in your house. Put it back in a box and ship it back to Texas if you can.

My scheduled delivery date is still saturday, but it got to my local post office 3 hours ago. Maybe I'll get lucky and get it today or tomorrow

I got the same except I didn't get the watches and only 2 bottle toppers and my bag has a sea shell theme. Not bad, the game could be fun with the kids and the chart thing is useful, so I'm satisfied. If anyone has an extra goal poster they don't want I could use another. TIA

Mine Also. I think mine will be delivered later today. Usually the handoff from Chino, CA to Whittier, CA post office to delivery takes one day for my woot shipments. Stay tuned to see if it makes a difference.

It says your video is private on youtube.

Seems like only people with 3.x lbs have received their so far. Safe to say that if you are at 3.x lbs, you all got similar items.

Wondering what the 4.2lb boxes and above contain...

My Bricks of Concrete arrived in Atlanta half hour ago. Still at 2.5 lbs w/eta of 10/4

My Boggy Old Creature made it from Martinsburg to Manassas just in time to join today's mail -- it should be waiting for me when I get home!

Phalangees wrote:It says your video is private on youtube.

I'm at 4.2, so I too am very curious to see. Been checking back here every 5 minutes to see if someone with a 4 Pounder plus posts what they got.

Well the B came today. More random than normal, so that's cool.

Contents and picture behind the QR code so that others may still be surprised by their stuff.
