I think I remember it saying 8 pounds, but it just says delivered now.
Was it shipped ground or smartpost?

If it was listed on the website that means you got it through FedEx ground, not crappost? Crappost never has it listed on the site.

No, they will pick up. The lines may be full right now.
I know their hours are 8-5 central.
I know that half the fun of the Bag of Crap is waiting for it to come but it was discussed at one point if Smartpost was worth it. Apparently USPS Parcel Post costs less than this method of shipping. Why is woot still using this shipper knowing all of the issues that have been had with Smartpost for all items?
I just called and they didnât pick up even though they should have ~43 minutes left of business hours. Maybe they cut out earlyâŚ

Woot may have negotiated a volume discount.

Maybe woot has some sort of business deal where they get discounted rates or something.

We have indeed considered shipping options and I believe that in the long run weâll go there. Itâs mostly a design/strategy discussion at woot between âkeep it simple, this is impulse buying anywaysâ and âwhen weâre selling stuff people really want bad, theyâll appreciate the optionâ
Iâm not saying that this is definitive proof. http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=1387942
But it was because I read that that I posted, not just a personal mind experiment. Iâm not saying a volume discount is impossible just musing.

HeyâŚit says right at the bottom of the page you buy your craps:
The crap will be shipped via SmartPost, the crappiest shipping method available to us.
Guess they werenât lying.

Maybe FedEx approached woot and made it sound like a better deal.
