After my experience with the polo shirts a while back there's no way I'll be getting these. I ordered two boxes of "random" polos and I got two boxes of the exact same color shirts (4 total polos in the ugliest brown you have ever seen.)

Nope Woot, no thanks.

I recommend restarting todays Woot. Who the hell wants to waste money on shirts we cant pick out? At least let people pick the brand! Woot cant even get a design straight on the woot.shirts so these probably have pockets near the belly button.

That's what I'm shooting for. I ordered fifteen in XXL hoping I get at least three or more Orange.

I'm excited! I often rock the button-down-over-plain-T-shirt look, and I've dropped chili on too many of my favorite T-shirts. I don't really mind polyester, though I prefer cotton, and I like bright orange. I can hardly wait to see what colors I get!

My husband is a skinny fella, so I'm pleased there are extra-small shirts. Those can be hard to find. And if he gets a traffic-cone-orange one, that's great, because it's his college color!

Fool me once, shame on you, but, ah, hmm, I won't be fooled again. -Man with many brown polos

In for 3. Bad ones get used for working on the cars or dropped in the Salvation Army and/or Goodwill bins. Everybody wins!

I bought 2 five packs of the polos. Out of 10 polos I got 5 unique ones I think. They also shrunk up just a little too much.

I went in for 15 mediums this time hoping to get maybe 8 or more unique. Which still isn't a bad price. Usually these type shirts at Target run about 4 or 5$ a piece.

I could use some new colors. Grabbing one from the closet in the dark should ensure I'm not self-editing my colors (doesn't everything match blue denim?). The pre-printed shirt.woot colors seem to be too subdued- at least recently. Bring on the neon green, pinks, and cerulean!

In for three.

$7.99 + shipping kills the deal

As someone who does fire/rescue, I'd actually like all the shirts to be traffic cone orange!! May help me from getting run over!

Winter is around the corner... who cares if you get ugly shirts- save them for undershirts when it gets cold. Wear them when doing yardwork so you don't mess up your good shirts.

Even polyester isn't as bad as the rep it gets. Even after shipping tihs is less than $3 a shirt.

For a $1 or $2 more you can pick out what you want from Michaels or Target - if you don't care this is a good deal. I don't care...

... but there again my t-shirt draw doth overflow already... still... I might buy some just to replace my existing shirts that are all paint stained, holy... or too big for me... I used to be fat and like baggy shirts... now I'm not- and I don't like baggy anymore.

This final sentence of the description really scares me:

"(Not All Colors are Depicted on the Main Photo)"

So that means there are colors EVEN WORSE than the highlighter orange or the pale peachy one?

Bought three packs. I'll pick out the ones I like and donate the rest to Goodwill for a tax deduction.

Can I use these to polish my Mercedes-Benz without scratching it??

I am in for three. From that I pick my own colors and the rest go to the Bastrop Fire Relief effort collections!

this confirms it.... Woot! is dead.

I agree with ordering early. Last time these were offered my size sold out immediately. Got the order in this time...

I want to be in for this. but my wife said no ;(

Suggestions?

But--if you buy 3 packs, the shipping is $5 for all of them. I just did and I didn't have to leave the couch.

Thanks for the update,guess I won't have to check this site after today.

The 100% polyester thing KILLS this for me...i dont care if its ONE out of 5....no deal

Psst, I don't think the shirts shrank.

For families this is a GREAT deal. I bought 5 for myself Large, 5 for my wife Medium, 5 for my son Small. Woot!

I'll jump in if woot offers pocket tees some day.

spouse.woot? Just make sure you get one that's new and not a refurb.

I don't know if the pricing is done regionally, but at my local Goodwill, t-shirts go for $4 each, and the Salvation Army they are $3.50 each.

Lousy Shipping Kills this deal for me

I noticed it also says some designs may contain front pockets. Why is there so much randomness to this deal?

You can also buy a 4 pack of the same type and brand of shirts from Walmarts for around $11.

Reading some more, its even more random that I thought. Kinda ridiculous, having several different brands also. No way I will order now.

"Men’s Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Winner's Circle or Jerzees T-Shirt"

Okay, now I REALLY want a kitten/Captain America t-shirt!

Are they implying that shirt.woot people don't have jobs?

Probably 99% will get polyester shirts.

For something informal like a t-shirt, and at this price, lots of people will want to Woot. I just bought 15 and several buddies will do the same. I will use these for sleeping, wearing at home, and as undershirts. And if one is particularly attractive, I'll use it as outerwear.

I noticed that quite a few people mentioned ordering XL or XXL. XXL, XXXL and XS are not sizes you can easily find so this is a real boon to people who wear those sizes. And studies show that the obese hate shopping for clothes so there are some potential buyers there.

Finally, Mystery Boxes have always been popular with shoppers. That's where buyers don't know what they're getting but are promised that it's worth much more than the price paid. With this Woot, you certainly get the bargain, plus you sorta know what you're getting.

I think this will be a popular Woot.

I'd rather not get polyester or pocketed shirts, but I bought 15 (which is less than $2/shirt). I'll just give away any of those that I receive. Assuming that half of these are polyester or have a pocket, it's still a good deal.

Those are all quality brands. I have Ts from a least 3 of those companies. 2 bucks a t-shirt is good. Yes you can get cheaper, but they will either be irregular or non-branded.

I picked up a batch for me and a second for my wife. BTW you can order separate sizes.

Even the 100% poly shirts dont scare me. Im in my 30s and polyester has come a LONG way since I was a kid.

What does scare me is getting a turquoise shirt. Nothing is more loathsome then a turquoise shirt.

I screen print shirts as a pass time and was going to get 2 or three packs till I realized the shipping was 5 dollars. That kills this deal. that changes this from $1.30~ a shirt to over $2.50 a shirt. I'll just go down to Walgreen and get the color I want for 2 dollars each.

"But we can promise you this: the one thing your t-shirts won’t have is some sort of cutesy twist on pop culture, like Rembrandt’s Night Watch except with penguins and Super Mario Bros. characters."

Ouch, woot! Very ouch.

I have never purchased a shirt with a 90 Day Warranty before. This intrigues me.

I make hand-painted T-shirts as gifts for friends. This saves me a trip to Michaels, and getting the colors you want from them is just as much of a crap shoot anyway, their stock usually sucks. In for 3.
