Will I get multiple random colors on my bottle tops?

Feb 28, 2013 3:35 PM

So the Sigg bottle tops are back on woot plus. Last time I ordered 5 and they were all pink. Next time they came up I posted in the comments asking if I ordered multiple, if they would be different colors. Very soon at least a half dozen other wooters chimed in wondering the same thing as they had all also fallen victim to receiving only a single color. Not a single woot staff member addressed the concern. This time again, the sigg tops are back and I posted the first comment asking the same thing. No answer and again already there are people also commenting on having a similar horrible experience.

I am not sure who to summon, but can we please get an answer on this? Strikes me as kind of ridiculous how long this has been going on.

Yeah, your best bet would be to page a mod....@jumbowoot, are you around?

@pitamuffin: That is what I was thinking, but im so nervous to summon them... Ok, here goes, @inkycatz @ThunderThighs .... you guys out there? I saw @Jumbowoot is active on some other posts this morning, but isn't he/she more deals.woot focused?

@countdown:

Inkycatz no longer works for woot.

Can't say what you'll get as it will depend on who does the picking and what we have left. They're probably shipped from an Amazon fulfillment center. Given that it's on Sellout, you can assume that we're trying to move through the last of them.

@thunderthighs: Wait, what? Am I that out of the loop? Not even a "Peace, out!" or anything?

@thunderthighs: I would have thought there was someone picking, but wouldnt they at least make an effort to pick more than one color? It just seems cruel and lazy to pack 10 of the same color into a box and consider that a job well done when the item description said "random". When I read random, I assume I will get a random distribution, otherwise I would hope to see some distribution rates for each color.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
