Obviously no point in reiterating what has already been said about this fiasco!!- BUT I WILL ask this: what the Hell!! has happened to the Woot I used to wait up until the Magical hour of 1:00a.m. to see what BARGAINS! I could tease myself to buy!!-but ever since Woots likup with Amazon or simply by-out BY Amazon?,everything has gone to the dogs! Almost NO real bargains, a plethora of extra "Bargains/must-haves” aka Amazon there IS NO pleasure TO have,Now? No more 1:00a.m.'s for me,! wott is simply a boring NORMAL on-line shopping webpage just like a thousand others?
Don’t do it people. Read through the most recent mystery box (“electronics”) and keep in mind that the results of that are IMPROVED over the trainwrecks of their previous mystery boxes.
There’s a good chance one of you suckers will get a wall clock in the mail.
When w00t sold the timex weekender (about a year ago) for $15, that was a bargain, despite needing to buy a real NATO band for it immediately, at about the same cost. Mine is still keeping excellent time
Ordered mystery watches once… none of the batteries worked and they even had 9.99 price tags on them… indicating that it was no special deal. It was the only regrettable woot decision I ever made.
Warning everyone against this, and ALL future “mystery” purchases. Don’t take the bait.
Considering the most recent “mystery electronics” box, there is a chance these are being processed/sold by a third party through Woot, and you are going to receive a nice box of otherwise unsellable disappointment.
Woot really should send an email apology to all Wooters for this stunt. Certainly expect better from anything associated with Amazon. The only way a ‘Mystery Box’ makes sense is if the retail value of the goods is significantly greater than what is paid.
One mystery was nice. Next 3 were flops, and the last was downright theft. Avoid!!! if it sounds too good to be true, guess what. Screw me once shame on you, do it again and again and again and someone’s an idiot!!!
Several years ago I would sit up all night during the WootOffs. A few times I called into work so I could watch it all day. NEVER missed the Midnight unveiling of the new items.
Then dark days came. Amazon destroyed the Woot. Gone are the deals. Along with the feeling of belonging to something special. All Woot is now is a dumping ground for Amazon junk.
I rarely even check it anymore. The WootOff was running for over a day before I even noticed it.
I stopped buying from woot and now come for just the comments. Strike 1 was when I purchased a watch that stopped working 1 week after purchase I didn’t even get a chance to wear it once. I went to get it out of the box to resize it and it wouldn’t work. Tried contacting woot had the run around finally got the vendor info. Contacted the vendor they said they don’t have a service center in USA to send it to so the warranty could not be honored. Went back and forth with Woot customer care finally pushed them enough where they agreed to issue a return for a full refund. Then came the fiasco with the wrong curtain dimensions. They canceled my order right away however their vendor still shipped them. Glad I refused them because black out curtains should be heavier. for ordering 8 panels the package weighed 7 lbs. Not good curtains and I didn’t even have to see them to know that. By the sounds of it several others are experiencing woot’s down fall. Woot better make some changes and quick if they are to stay in business.
