Got mine last night. It contained the 5 most received items in the list which pretty much resemble something from the dollar store discount bins.

Has Woot lost it's groove?

After a long wait for delivery and three "letter" dreams later, my first Box of Cookies arrived yesterday.

My 2.5 #er
8x bags of Texas air
2x wibbly fun balls
2x Breo skin watches
1x honey do list
1x wooden marionette
1x 3' HDMI cable
0x Letter

Hey TPW,I think my letter got lost during the long trip to Sacramento, can you please send me a new one?

I see what you did there.

Our mail carrier delivered my very first Bright Orange Chinchilla today. I promised the wife she could open it though so I had to wait a few hours before discovering the interesting bits inside. She started going through the box and I named off the items as she pulled them out, already having a good idea as to it's contents. We received the same as above minus any tissue paper and that our bag had a giant sea dragon on it (okay, sea horse, I may have exaggerated a little). When the wife got to the brown tube she began reading the label, "Honey Do li... Mine".

Oh Woot!, what fate have you doomed me to?

All-in-all, a great haul. Thanks Woot! and TPW!

You're welcome! Thanks for posting that picture of your dog, it has chops!

I can, but it won't be on Woot letterhead.

My Bucket of Candycorn was waiting for me when I got home yesterday, one day earlier than the updated schedule, but on the original day predicted when it shipped. It was sitting outside my door in the rain, but fortunately, the rain didn't seem to have penetrated the box.

Contents:
1X Super Duper Kiddo goal chart
1X Oregon Scientific Solar PowerHouse
1X Sand Dollar reusable shopping bag
1X Dream Cheeky USB Glitter Lamp (with yellow post-it marked AC116502A/DM/0.7lbs)

The last one seems to be unique so far. It's already glowing on my desk at work. The kids stuff will go to my step-grandniece for Christmas and the bag will go with the rest of our reusable shopping bags.

My 3.1 lbs Bucket of Candycorn came today.

1x Honey Do List Poster
1x Wibbly Fun Ball
1x Discovery Climate Cubes
1x Star Wars Mighty Beans Set
1x Seahorse Tote Bag
0x Bags o' Texas Air
0x Letter from TPW

ooh, yes!! Please send me the letter.

And no need for Woot letterhead... I'm okay with regular paper/ photos of dinosaurs/ grocery receipts/ US dollar bills.

Got my 2.8lber yesterday.

2x Wibbly Balls

1x HDMI Cable (advertises 720p resolution, YES)
1x Discovery Kids Climate Cubes

Truly a Box of Cards

Well, my box arrived Monday but I didn't open it until today. I promised my massage therapist that I introduced to Woot! a month and a half ago that we would share in the glory. My box was pretty much what the @WootChatter spoiler had, but at least she was surprised and excited even if I wasn't so much. We got in our 3.1 pounder:

0 Bags of Air
1 Sand Dollar Reusable Tote Bag
1 Wibbly Fun Ball (Fettucini noodle style)
1 Honey-Do Poster with Tokens
1 Oregon Scientific Solar PowerHouse
1 Dream Cheeky USB Mailbox

I asked if her kids would want the toys and she thought her daughter would love the Solar House, so there's a nice Christmas present for her. We both had a good laugh over the poster, and I love the reusable bags.

I'm not quite sure what to do with the USB toy since I don't really get any email, and since I'm still a single gal, I have no idea what to do with the poster.

Hey, I'm a single guy, you could give me some chores on the poster. And I wouldn't mind getting the mailbox notifier as a reward!

Arrived last Friday.

2 Wibbly balls
1 Chores Poster
1 "Deadliest Catch" board game
2 "Congratulations" Wine bottle hangers
1 Reusable Lunch Sack
4 Bags of Air

Pretty boring birthday crap:
Two wibbly balls, the chores poster, the board game, two wine bottle hangers and a sand dollar bag.

Overall probably the best Bucket of Candycorn I've gotten as my son love's the mighty beanz and now he has something to store them in other than on the carpet for me to step on and the weather cubes should be fun.

I received the same exact craps! We could be craps TWINS!...but I get to be Arnold.

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or creeped out.

You did however give me a flash of insight - What better to put with a mailbox than what goes into it, a letter! I noticed that I'm the only person to report thus far that they got a mailbox as well after reading the thread, so in reality putting a letter in with a mailbox is genius!

I promptly opened the package and was indeed rewarded with a piece of paper. Alas, it was the instruction manual and nothing more. I think my letter must have been lost in the mail. I can hope, right TPW?

Also, and I'm sure it's been said, what are the wiggly balls supposed to smell like? Mine is sort of oily and sticky on top of smelling quite prominently of a fake crappy fruit and rubber scent.

I truly got c r a p !

2 fuzzy rubber balls
1 seashell bag
1 hdmi 3ft cable
1 honey do list
1 weather station

this is my first c r a p purchase. Will I order again? Prob not.

Not great, but not terrible.

This was identical to mine. Needless to say, I am disappoint. I was at least hoping to get a Breo watch.

Would I order again? Of course. A boat's a boat, but the mystery box could be anything! It could even be a boat!

Looks like I'm SOL. Yesterday my Box of Chihuahuas was out for delivery. Today it says there was a "Delivery exception" and it was "Rerouted to revised delivery address". The routing arrow has turned from purple to red, right in the middle of "In Transit". We have a temporary change of address that is supposed to take effect on October 12, but haven't received any mail in four days. It looks like somebody screwed up and made it effective immediately :-(

That sucks. I can't tell any real reason mine's not in yet other than slow.

Email service@woot.com. or contact them at @servicewoot on twitter and they'll help you out. They are usually pretty helpful. Agingdragqueen rocks the house, but I don't think she is in the cust service department anymore.

No letters yet?? I need someone to live vicariously through!

My Bucket of Candycorn is nearly identical - other than one of the Wibbly Fun balls being the thick version, and an extra 3 bags of Texas Air. Truly the crappiest Bucket of Candycorn I've received.

I don't have a good picture, but my Box of Cobwebs showed up today and contains:

* 1 LEGO watch
* 1 Oregon Scientific Solar House thingie
* 1 Wibbly Ball
* 1 HoneyDo list
* 1 pair DEVO airbuds

and two things that I have no idea. One is a blue plastic bowl-like thing, that appears that it could be the stand to something, although what I have no idea.

And then there's what looks like the foam wing of an R/C airplane (given that it says "UFO R/C" on it). But ... TOTALLY SCARED OF THE DARK NOW? A random unattached wing of something? It's got a clip on it that says "2" like "Step 2, attach here." I'm a bit lost on why someone would take the effort to throw in random unusable crap. Just throw it away, make more room for the air.

Took nearly a month to arrive, and this was my first Box of Cobwebs I know the rules are not to complain about what you get, but I think it's safe to say I wouldn't be anxiously anticipating any future purchases.

I contacted the PO. They had mistakenly started forwarding my mail, but said it would be returned within two days with a sticker saying forwarding was not yet in effect. She said watch the Fedex tracker and call her back if it doesn't change by tomorrow. I assume the worst that could happen is that I'd have to call the other PO and tell them to hold the pkg. there until we arrive at our destination. That's assuming it wasn't returned to WOOT!

Two (2) purple "Breo" skin watches
Two (2) Koosh-ball-type toys
One (1) Dancing Wooden Puppet
One (1) "Honey-Do Pleasure Rewards Dry Erase Chart"
One (1) Reusable Shopping Bag with sand dollar on it

Dude, you got DISMEMBERED COMPONENTS! Someone thoughtfully sent you the results of _effort_, instead of just taking some same-old box off a shelf and throwing it in your shipping box. You got a "floor sweeping", about as classic a piece of carp as you can get! You have successfully Wooted! and been Wooted! in return! Rejoice in this!

And anyway it probably saved them on texas air... ;)

My Brick of Carbonite finally arrived yesterday:

1x Woot branded box
1x Sheet of tissue
1x Seahorse bag
1x Honey Do list
1x 3ft 720p HDMI cable
1x Climate Cubes set
2x Wibbly fun balls (one thick, one thin)


Fairly standard crap.

One Wibbly ball already got thrown in a box being sent cross country to another office; I share my crap. Other Wibbly ball has already reduced stress. If the HDMI cable is decent I may end up using it. Otherwise, no immediate plans on what to do with the rest.

Perfect. wOOt!

At our office, we were lucky enough to get 2 Box of Cobwebs.

One was 2.1 pounds the other 2.2
Both contained:

1 Small bag with print
1 wooden dancing price guy
1 pin up girl "honey do" list poster
1 3ft HDMI cable
2 Wibbly Fun balls

The slightly heavier box also contained:
8 bags o texas air

Finally after doing my "chores" my girlfried says - "Here is your Bucket of Candycorn, I hid it until you got your chores done" and what is the first thing that I pull out of the box, which promptly gets taken from me, A HONEY-DO LIST, just what I needed. The second item is a wibbly fun ball which will sit worthlessly on my work desk. The 3rd item was a climate cube set (which I actually wanted to keep) and the girlfriend snatches that and says "Give that to you Dad for father's day as a gag gift!" and the final item was a oregon scientific solar powerhouse, which was also taken from me with the words "This will make a nice gift for your Nephew. And I also recieved a beach umbrella tote bag which I guess I can fill with crap around my house, so lets recap shall we?

MY FIRST Bucket of Candycorn EVER WOO! PUMPKINS!

4.2 pound Bucket of Candycorn

0 Bags of Texas farts
1 Beach umbrella tote bag
1 Solar Powerhouse (have to give to nephew)
1 Climate Cubes (have to give to dad)
1 Wibbly Ball
1 Honey Do List (which is already causing problems)

The feeling of being overjoyed for a box of crap, and then promptly having said crap snatched away from you....PRICELESS.

Still totally worth it and will do again.

If you will excuse me, I need to go pour a stiff drink!

Dude. Relationship. Therapy.



or hit-man.

• "Other" themed totes may be sea themed, just it wasn't specified and one or two had totes with a distinctly non-sea theme.
  
• The three performing artists represented in earbuds were Elvis, Def Leppard, and Devo.
  
• Do not taunt Wibbly Fun Balls.
  
• Not sure if the 2nd 6' HDMI cable is actually 6', since it was a "same here" contents report.
  
• All posting photos of their pets with their illustrious bags receive +10 attribute points, to distribute however they please.

So, picked up mine today (received at UPS Store a couple of days ago)

Super Duper Kiddo goal chart
Deadliest Catch game
Two thin string Wibblys
flip-flop sandals tote
seven bags of air

and, the unusual item:
a full box of 48 Colgate Cinnamon Wisps (six 8-packs)

It's either stunning in it's crappiness, or crappy in it's stunningness.

Has anyone tried playing the Deadliest Catch game? My wife and I just opened it up and tried it. Sooooooooo freakin' stupid.

PO doesn't know where it is now, and Fedex tracker still gives the same red bar with "Delivery exception". I think I can safely assume there will be no fun filled WOOT box in my future :-(

Pretty standard haul for me this time:

1 - thin, straight wibbly ball
1 - thick, straight wibbly ball
(these are a nice addition to my two thin, straight wibbly balls from the last Box of Cobwebs
1 - Honey Do "What's Your Pleasure" poster
1 - prince parionette
1 - 3ft HDMI cable
1 - sea horse tote (by Gwen's Nest)

If you can't have the crap you want, love the crap you get!

My Beyonce Ovulates Constantly, which never changed from 1 pound:

1 Beach Umbrellas tote bag
1 Oregon Scientific Solar PowerHouse
1 Melissa & Doug Princess Marionette
2 Super Duper Kiddo Goal Charts
4 Vino's Pewter Bottle Tags
4 Fettucinni Wibbly Funs
7 Spaghetti Wibbly Funs
7 Corrugated Wibbly Funs

Wibbly Wars! But wow - gather than many Wibblys together, and the 'aroma' becomes overpowering...

To ease your mind of the uncertainty, my 'same here' HDMI cable was actually 6'.
