How much does your BoC weigh?

Sep 26, 2011 7:37 PM

I just got the shipping confirmation email...

1.0lbs/.5kg

EDIT: OR what interesting weight have you gotten in the past/wish you could have gotten if you had the patience to hit refresh 10,000+ times...

Since my BOC is only as realistic as my ability to actually obtain one, the weight can also be exaggerated. Mine weighs 15,000 lbs. I hope it's not a bunch of rocks

Thank God touchpads are less than 1 pounds!

I don't think my BoC has shipped yet as I haven't received an E-mail from Woot yet.

From what it looks like, the ones that have shipped so far are 1.0 lbs

From the woot! proper forums: "If your weight shows as 1lb, it is most likely a placeholder, which will be replaced by more accurate weight once the package actually starts moving (or reaches a sorting station). The dimensions will probably show as NA/NA/NA on those placeholder packages. Some people have reported packages showing as 1lb all the way until delivery, but turned out to be anything but, though there's always a slight chance that your package actually is a 1 pounder."

@zachnolan @zarfus @soccerkrzy: The 1 lb is just a placeholder until fedex updates it.

A woot BoC never tells you its weight or age. You should be ashamed for asking such a question on the public forums

@unclefrog: Those forums are not proper. They want you to think they're proper, but they know nothing of propriety!

Lots, or nothing, or maybe something in between. Like everyone else I'm seeing 1.0lb which means it hasn't moved yet. Though confusingly enough it says it moved on the 24th, while also saying it only has the shipment information.

I think they might be sending me a box of Shroedinger's cats. I just don't know how to keep them alive when they arrive.

Last time I got a Blanket Of Cowboy It said 1 pound, When the box actually came in the contents were valued at about 70$ and weighed about 6 pounds

I didn't get one cuz I was at a conference in Las Vegas and my spouse apparently had better things to do than sit in the hotel room all day watching woot. Pffft...as if.

Good luck to all you lucky bass turds.

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.
