Who else ordered the $100 Guaranteed Mystery box from GraveyardMall?

For those that ordered it, I just got the following message:

GraveyardMall Said:

------------------------------------------------
Good Morning

Thank you for your recent order for our super mystery box. Turns out, these boxes aren't going to be as super as we had hoped. The company that we partnered with to do these has sent us nothing but used and damaged goods. We do apologize for this and here's how we're going to make it up to you. First, you will receive a full refund for your order. Second, you will receive one of our mystery gift boxes (sold for $29.99 plus shipping), free of charge. We are embarrassed by this and apologize for the situation.

------------------------------------------------

Really cool that they are making it up to the customers who ordered this with an alternate free box!

Go GraveyardMall!

Can't say I got the super mystery box, but I've ordered a couple things from them (including the normal mystery box), and aside from slow shipping never been anything but pleased.

Beware the mystery box offers. A fool and his money and all that rot.

@lavikinga: I like the Super Guaranteed Mystery Boxes as if you are not pleased, they pay for return shipping & refund the entire order.

It's a fun way to find stuff you didn't know you HAD to have lol

@devexityspace: All of their mystery boxes are guaranteed, which includes cost of shipping both ways.

Frankly that's how it should be... too many random companies get away with passing off dollar-store crap to unwary consumers. It's a damn shame, because (when done right) mystery boxes can be both a lot of fun for the consumers and still profitable for retailers.

@devexityspace: Really and truly? No questions asked? They'll just pony back up your money without a fuss? That's a rarity! I am glad to know there is at least one company more out there who hasn't got it "in" for the consumer.

I thought mystery boxes have been long since banned here after the @bkindustries debacle

@dcalotta: I'm pretty sure that they were just banned from being advertised on Deals.Woot. I know that @gearxs has mystery boxes every once and a while and graveyardmall has them also. I don't think that Woot! can tell other companies what they can and can't sell on their websites but I could be wrong ;)

@studerc: Oh of course, I guess I misunderstood and took this to be in relation to "deals" posted here.

@devexityspace: Whoa whoa whoa...when were these $100 boxes up?

I'd like to get in on some of that. How much are they?

I've been turned off of mystery boxes (other than Woot!) when I got screwed by a couple places during the "Mystery Box" craze of early Deals.Woot.

(Can't remember right off hand...I think it was midnight box and somebody else..) One of them actually gave me an f-ing COUPON as part of the "$30 merch. guarantee" lol

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

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.
