Got the order page, typed in my info, got time error over and over again. Finally got to the your order is processing and received the sad message "your order did not go through" probably because they ran out. sniff, sniff, denied again.

Oh Woot! You tease. First you lull us to sleep with two slow-moving items, then a item that looks like it would move slowly but disappears fairly quickly. Then you list the Barrels of Crud hours ahead of the expected time... I only happened to see it by chance. Luck was with me, I thought, and I managed to get all the way thru to the order processing page. FINALLY, I thought, savoring the taste of your juicy, sweet carrots after years of trying! And then... the spinning wheel delivered its verdict:

DENIED

Why oh why do I let myself get a broken heart over this EVERY MONTH?!

I AM REALLY REALLY UPSET. I got in for the first time ever on the Bag of Cuuuuuute! and went through all the screens until I got to the final one with the big gold button to place the order. As usual, there was a wait, but then I got kicked back to the payment page where this was at the top in red:
There was an error placing your order. Please verify that all the fields below are correct and try again.
This sale is sold out.

EVERYTHING was filled out correctly, and I got all the way to the final page and hit the place order button, even reloading the page when it timed out and sent a 503. I KNOW I did everything right but you screwed me over and I am out of luck.

This isn't the first time I've tried to buy the Barrels of Crud but it is the first time I've been able (or so I thought) to actually buy it.

I did my part. What is Woot! going to do to make this right?



Lol, chill dude. You didn't get through the process in time. Take a second, relax, it's an 8 dollar box of junk that you're missing out on, not an authentic Rolex for $10. The Sun will rise tomorrow, I promise.

got to the Golden Button 4 times, and each time I clicked, got a 503 error. Thought I missed out, but then got a confirmation email before they were even sold-out!!!

Score Bag #4!

The Big o' Cosmos is my white-whale. So little sleep, so much disappointment.

I agree, except I'd say have Chrome & IE or Firefox & IE going with a couple of tabs in each.

I use Wootalyzer and Wooters.us to alert me but buy manually.

Having a horrible week and hoped to snag a Barrels of Crud to brighten the day. Thought I'd finally gotten in to the Promised Land after several attempts and 503s today, with the final screen and checking inventory. Alas! no confirmation email for me so it didn't go through after all. Needless to say, will check to see what everyone else got and I missed out on.

Finally, my Barrels of Crud virginity has ended.
All this time, always second base, often even 503rd base, never all the way.

I hope it is good for me.

your order is NOT in.
possible problems with your order:

* Order denied.
* We don't have enough quantity to complete your order.

Just gotta say "bite me woot" on this one.

If only I hadn't stopped at the post office on the way home...

Then again, seeing how my last Barrels of Crud contained such treasures as a spitball target and a disposable potty, maybe I'm not sad that I'm keeping $8.

I would love for them to send me a skid of something in January/February. I'd like to see that delivery happen considering I live on the outer rim of hill-billy boondockia. On a steep and ice covered hill, no less.

Fedex already hates me. Yay Woot!

Big gold "Buy" button 6 or 7 times, then to blank page and the word "Done" in the lower left. Refresh, refresh, refresh, and nothing...

It's times like this when I want to kick Woot.com in it's cyber-testes.

So, is it wishful thinking to hope that another Bag will be offered during this Wootoff - and we'll have a better chance of actually getting through because many people have logged off?

Oh My God..... I already got my Barrels of Crud delivered and it had an Ipad and a brand new 2013 convertible camaro in the box!

This sucks..... I'm calling Woot to complain as I didn't get three things in my Barrels of Crud like I was promised!

Damn you Woot....Damn you!!

And I'm on a fast connection. Wakko Talks Faboo!??? If necessary I have a virgin niece I can sacrifice. SERIOUSLY Woot, this is just not fair!! Previous crap winners should be made to sit the next offer out; you could do it. Otherwise this stupidity* is just boggling.

(*Stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.)



At the very least previous buyers should be denied from buying a second one right away. This is losing its luster for a lot of users who are unable to get one (despite a lot of effort) while users who repeatedly were successful (and automated bots designed to repeatedly load the page until successful) are allowed to continue to purchase the bags.

Previous winners should be denied for at least one time and a system should be put into place to block people from using automated scripts to do the purchasing for them.
