Community order?

Oct 19, 2012 7:52 AM

I was on my email when your new sale came on my email and I noticed the" Craftsman Garden Hose anti flex 75 foot length for $19.99."
That was a lie when I tried to order (3) soon as I got wentt .to Sears site the price was p osted in red as $19.99 but would come up every time as $33.99 on my order which ended up total for (3) as $101.97.
When I immediately went on Sears chat line the lady verified it was NOT ON SALE as $19.99......

Then I told 2nd party on chat line to go to Sears site and read the $19.99 price she said its not on sale now its past midnight here.
Wooth.com have wasted hours on this so don't mention the name Sears to me .

Deals posted on the community are not items sold from or affiliated with Woot!. We are simply a community of people (like you) who find good deals on the internet and share them. The deal you are inquiring about was live yesterday but is now expired. Sorry for any confusion, hopefully you can cancel the order. In the future, don't purchase anything if the prices at checkout are not what you expect them to be.

Lie is such a harsh word.

Deals.Woot is a collection of internet retail deals posted by community members. These deals may be good for limited amount of time and it's up to you, the consumer, to check the deal before purchasing.

If you find a deal that is no longer active, you can tattle it so that it can be marked as expired. Please note that Deals staff does not regularly check deals to see if they are still active. We rely on community members to either expire their own deals or to tattle on deals that need to be expired.

Hope that helps.

Oh whats the point. It's not like Marylou is actually going to read this or respond. They never do!

Well.....to your credit, it sounds like from the beginning of the deal, Sears wasn't willing to honor the online price in-store. That should have been a red flag.

I guess it sucks that you got $60 worth of hose for $100.

That being said Deals.woot has no control over what is posted (other than the moderators deleting rule-breaking stuff). The community tries to keep things accurate, but things slip through the cracks.

It is a nice hose, though.

Oh, dear! You got hosed! ;-) Please see above responses; not woot's fault.

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.
