Yep. I’m getting charged for any and all attempts at ordering. The app is super buggy and I’m about to just delete it and quit woot altogether.

Hi there. Look for the “Use this address” button under your address. Click/tap that and the order page will finish loading to remove the shipping.

I had the same problem and I, too, did not order things I was interested in because of that. I just tested it and the “use this address” click worked. That said, it might be in Woot’s best interest to figure out why this is happening and correct it so as not to lose these sales. But I guess it saved me some money in the long run.
Unfortunately, Amazon owns the “Login by Amazon” widget so there’s nothing we can do.

What about @wajeremy? Couldn’t someone add that to his to-do pile?

There was a Foxtrot comic where Roger had a huge stack of files/papers in front of him, and he complained to Fred (his coworker) that he was absolutely dead because of his workload.
Fred advised him to make a to-do list, to help get organized.
When Roger told Fred that that WAS his to-do list, Fred agreed that he (Roger) was dead.

They probably will. I do own all the problems.

I see this is an old post but the same thing is happening to me today, 7/11/21! I sent them a note about it as I will not push the buy button while the $6 shipping is showing! When you look at the Shipping Method section it does show free with prime but as long as it keeps showing $6 shipping on the purchase info, it’s NO SALE for me!
In the checkout there might be a blue banner asking you to verify your address. Click the button by your address, let the page refresh, and the $6 shipping charge should go away.
(Please Note: I’m not employed by Woot, but I volunteer to help in the forums.)

Confirmed as of July 2021 this problem is still happening, and reloading your address fixes it for that individual order.
Yeah, Amazon owns the login authentication. I guess they wanted to reduce the number of orders going to wrong addresses. Just look for that “Use this address” button when ordering. Click/tap it and the order page will continue loading.
No blue banner -
I’ve never had to verify my unchanged address
being charged shipping missed the latex gloves due to the $6 charge showing up and going to find my tablet to see if the POS app was doing the same thing.
It is and sold out in meantime.
THANK YOU
And STILL DOING IT
yes I am logged in as my prime account - and it says it is prime in woot.
it’s gone now.
Just long enough to loose out on gloves the day caregiver told me she needed when I got here to do night care.
thanks again woot
no really thanks
Hi @TheRiverz. Any discounts are loaded last. First the check out page loads and it shows standard shipping, then Prime benefits are verified through Amazon’s widget. Next the address & payment are shown - again, coming from Amazon. After that, the shipping will be removed.
So you have to wait a bit and/or look for some button near the address or payment asking you to verify the information. We don’t control that, it’s Amazon’s widget. My guess, they’re trying to prevent packages from going to the wrong address which happens a lot in online retail.
Sorry you missed the gloves though.
