Taking almost a month to get to me in Colorado - not rural. If I order it directly from AMZN, I can have it in 3 days (probably less).
What gives, Woot?
Guess it depends on if you want to save almost 50%. We give free shipping with Prime, not necessarily fast shipping.
I get it, and I certainly enjoy the savings, but wouldn’t it be coming from the same warehouse?
I had honestly planned around receiving the funnel in time to change the oil in my car (which, had I gotten the funnel in time was just before getting a full WOOT! wrap on the car to advertize my favorite online storefront, but…).
I can do it without that particular funnel, although not as easily, and without a Woot-rendered smile on my face. Quite the opposite, I’m guessing, maybe a few choice words instead.
I suppose I’ve been more accustomed to faster shipping on identical items from Amazon (even without Prime). I’m no math wiz, but it does appear as though the shipping/handling charges might be the same as the cost of the item if the discount is 50% and that’s the only difference.
No, this is being shipped from/by one of our vendors, not Amazon.

This one sale doesn’t have that:
Looks s though I should have ordered some reading glasses, and stayed in school like all those PSA’s from the 80s.
It’s just… I had a huge crush on the Yak-Lady with the traveling circus that came through town, and I just couldn’t imagine life without her. And THAT’S how I ended up in the circus as their primary oil-change guy. But, I was quickly shunned (she dumped me for the two-headed goat wrangler - the goat had two heads, not the wrangler) then fired because I kept spilling oil all over the place… I have funnel issues, now.
Squeaky wheel and all that… It’s on its way, earlier than expected, and in time to make a life altering difference.
Ask I bask in the warmth of lightly warmed oil flowing out of the engine, I am reminded of the circle of oil-life. It has performed its duties admirably, without complaint, and is now making a place for a new volume of mechanical lifeblood, and the circle is complete. The vehicle to get the nectar of slipperyness into the vehicle, is the funnel, without which, all that has come before to make this one moment of renewal is spilled, and lost to it’s purpose and calling. Those lost volumes in the unreachable spots are relegated to collect the dust of living and the untold stories from the rough surfaces we travel across. That begs the great mysteries of the enablement of combustion without destruction… are we not enlightened bundles of dust, ourselves?
From The Book of Lubrication, The Unrealized Horsepower texts, 3:14: “He who hath no oil, let him throw the first rod.”
You’re weird. I like you.
I really appreciate the gentleness with which you pointed out my oversight in the shipping times/expectations (so blinded by my selfish needs to be catered to and slightly addicted to the “norm” of immediate gratification). I’m guessing if we only knew half of what goes on to satiate our endless materialism, we’d be more understanding.
It seems you’re neck deep in the bid’ness and endless ankle-biting of WOOTers. I hope those who would seek to be your managers appreciate you at levels that make you blush.
Aw, that’s so sweet. I’ve been with Woot for over 15y now. I seen things that should be seen. lol.
I like teaching wooters things so they can pay it forward to other wooters.
I do know I’ve been told that I’m a little bossy.
I like think of it as “aggressively helpful”. 
I have this funny looking red spot on my left cheek… do I make an appointment or you take walk-ins?
Which cheeks??
