Has anyone else noticed Woot! shipping has IMPRESSIVELY improved?

Apr 25, 2012 2:13 PM

My last several orders have arrived amazingly quick. I literally received my package before I received notice that the package had shipped.

I guess Woot's acquisition by Amazon has moved to the shipping perks stage?

I had an order shipped via UPS from a state other than Texas....so sure, shipping has overall improved, but SmartPost hasn't and won't, and that's what woot! uses. I think when they sell stuff that is distributed by another company, it ships faster. It's always luck of the draw with SmartPost...you're lucky if it gets shipped another way

I bought the turntable from Sellout.woot on Thursday, and it already arrived on Tuesday. I didn't even get the shipping notification email until Tuesday morning! Very fast, no complaints.

We ordered 3 of the JVC 37" tv's last week. One showed up in 2 days, the second after 5 days, and we're still waiting on the third.

OBTW...they kick ass...very nice TV's....look/smell new...

It took me a month to get my monkey from the last woot off, so in my experience, no.

there have been multiple times that I have not got shipping notification for days after stuff has actually shipped and sometimes after it has been delivered. I just try to remember to check for stuff about a week after I order it. And I also try to warn the post-person that a box is coming.

I've noticed it recently on the shirt.woot side of things as well. The past couple of weekly sales where I nabbed something, the item came immediatly after the new sale. I ordered a derby winner, and got it before it was Reckoned a mere week later.

So yeah, I'd say that woot is bringing their A game on the shipping of late.

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.
