Still placeholder but my Bundle of Crops is always shipped the same. I do get Smartpost packages elsewhere just rarely from Woot.

All the placeholder means is that FedEx has been notified that the packages need to be picked up. Until we get a post from ThreePieceWoot that they've all left the warehouse I wouldn't expect to see anything different from FedEx.

hmmm...no placeholder or shipping email yet.

i's a sad woot monkey

The sun is out in Chicago, Green Bay STINKS but, still stomped the Bears... I still have no tracking number for my Bindle of Carrots and my Birthday is tomorrow... and AND I was anticipating opening up my wonderful gifts from the WOOT gods... any chance???

Dearest w00t,

Can you tell me, pretty please, when my eagerly anticipated craps might ship? It seems that most everyone else has at least a placeholder, and I, alas, do not. I'm not hyperventilating or anything, and I think we can work this out... I just love getting w00t mail... and I'm addicted to crap!

Thanks!

I've got place holders! woot!

No tracking number information for my Bouncing Oversized Canteloupes yet.

I feel your pain "sad woot monkey".

I feel the pain as well. However, this seems about right with the Bundle of Crops Normally (when I'm able to get one) it finally ships and is delivered within a week of the next Woot Off starting.

same here :\

I'm excited because my guess is that my Bindle of Carrots is going to be shipped on my birthday today. Woo hoo!

This is the single greatest thing I've ever read on here. Please, WootGods, give him 10 Quality Posts for the effort!

Got a tracking number, still placeholder (obviously). There's a fair chance it'll arrive on my birthday!

Nah, no need. I got "A Letter"! That's a whole lot better than ten quality posts.

And my Zombie-like Monkey is beyond price ;)

Just a note to those who come here from the page 1 Quality post list: WOOT! saw fit for some reason known only to them to point a quality post here. Just to be clear, the letter referred to above is the one from TPW that accompanied my wonderful awesome fear-inspiring Zombie-Like Monkey. NOT a TPW letter in a Bundle of Crops

I have not received tracking info. Plus when I go to Fedex, they can't find anything too.

I am thinking of e-mailing woot! when Wednesday hits most likely.

Patience grasshopper.

Dear threepiecewoot,

At some time in your busy day, can you journal the process of adding "the letter" to lucky recipient's packages? Just curious what computations, random number generators, dice, etc are used in the process. I am sure all wooters would love to know!

It's a puzzle we'll probable never solve. Awhile back a gal got the letter, then 3 or 4 months later her husband got one from a different Woot-Off.
I think it's just luck of the draw.

BOO!! still no place holder.

Bigreen2k1 wrote:I am sure all wooters would love to know!

I don't. Just like the irrationality of Pi, the smile of the Mona Lisa, and WWE Wrestling, I want some things to retain their mysteries. That's what makes them magical.

I want my crap. Why no ship yet.

5 business days. 8 business days. Eh. Who's counting?

Just received my official tracking email! So far, it's just the placeholders. Hopefully more info will appear soon. :-)

Woot I got my tracking info! 1 whole pound place holder :D

WOO HOO!!!! I just received my tracking number for my Bindle of Carrots!!!

Just got my tracking email.
No updated tracking info yet.

Whoa! I posted my previous message, then went back to my email, and wouldn't ya know it? I JUST received a tracking number (w/ placeholders). So if you have not yet received your tracking number, repeat after me...

"5 business days. 8 business days. Eh. Who's counting?"

Now go check your email. It's BOUND to work for everybody.

Got my shipping confirmation!

Generally the internets frowns on public displays of human sacrifice.

LOL! The irrationality of Pi is no mystery. It can be rigorously explained/demonstrated at least six different ways.

Just received the email with tracking info:

Service type FedEx SmartPost
Weight 1.0 lbs/.5 kg
Dimensions: N/A x N/A x N/A

ho hum.

Just got my tracking number. It says it is anticipated to ship on Sept 24, which was be two days ago. Gotta love smartpost.

Same. Got tracking number email, no fedex update. 1lb place holder.

I can picture TPW with his hand over an intern's chest, shouting "KALI MA! KALI MA!" as he plunges his hand in and rips out their still-beating heart.

Got my tracking info today after I emailed support.

Shipping date of 9/24/2011. Wonder how accurate that is.

Woooo, tracking number is achieved! Now... should I stop reading the forum so I'll be surprised or keep reading it so I don't go crazy waiting?

Decisions...
