Not sure if it was me or the wacky world of the internet, but I got two orders from
and BOTH were the wrong size. I emailed them immediately and asked for an exchange. The emails that flew back and forth were fun, fine and fab. They replaced my shirts and all was happy in the end. And the shipping was SUPER FAST the second time. Thanks Woot! Another happy shirt-​ster.

Another «Daily Deal» site. Learned about this site quite by accident. I had been searching on
for a new flat screen TV when my Polaroid set crapped out on me… after only 4 years. My search on Amazon obviously ‘crossed’ with Woot, because a couple of days after my search, I got a marketing email from Amazon showing that Woot had a daily deal on the size TV that I was looking for.
$ 239 for a Phillips 32″ flat screen TV… and $ 5 for shipping. I was all over that one since my original search came up with 32″ flat screen TVs with a price range of $ 350-​$ 850 depending upon the bells and whistles.
My TV arrived right when Woot said it would. However, because I was traveling the day the TV was due to be delivered, I contacted the shipping company (FedEx, I believe) to see if it had to be signed for and was told, yes. However, when I arrived home from my trip, the TV had been delivered and was sitting on my front porch. WTH?! Thankfully, I live in a safe (or is that unobservant?) neighborhood, because it was fine.
Now, I’m addicted to checking the Woot site every morning to see what other ‘deals’ that I can’t live without. Gotta look carefully though because many items are refurbished rather than new.

love it hate that I have to pay for tax and shipping… doesn’t stop me though

I’ve never had an «ultimately» bad experience with woot!.com
About a week ago, I was thinking of updating with a decreased rating.
Here’s the timeline:
⁵⁄₁₀ — ordered a Logitech K340 Wireless Keyboard.
⁵⁄₁₅ — sent out an initial e-​mail, stating an absence of both batteries and receiver.
⁵⁄₁₆ — received an e-​mail about a replacement package order being placed
⁵⁄₂₀ — received replacement package, but only had batteries (no receiver). e-​mailed again.
***The receiver is $ 10 new from Logitech, btw
⁵⁄₂₃ — received an e-​mail about another replacement order being placed.
⁵⁄₃₁ — no replacement tracking received, so I e-​mailed =[
⁶⁄₁ — «The replacement order on this particular replacement is going to take longer to receive because we have to wait for the item to be returned to us and then reshipped to you. If you’ve not received tracking data by Tuesday, please let us know.»
⁶⁄₈ — No tracking data, so I e-​mailed.
⁶⁄₈ — Got an e-​mail back the same day saying they were waiting for people to return it so they could send me theirs… I think.
⁷⁄₁ — Nothing. Nada. E-​mailed them very politely, asking for either a partial refund or a full refund after return.
⁷⁄₁ — After «researching,» they found no replacement units and said they’d issue me a full refund without a return.
Just a note with service: Riley was the main person who e-​mailed me back, with the exception of t he e-​mail on ⁶⁄₈. He was the most polite and helpful in his e-​mails, and ultimately the one who issued me a refund.

shirt. woot came through for me today. My shirt went missing, the USPS said it was delivered, woot said ask your neighbors/​landlords/​etc. I said, «ok, I can be apart of the due diligence here.» 2 weeks later, shirt is still MIA after exhausting my vast investigative techniques. A short email convo w/​Kam in customer service yields success after I ask if I can just pick up a replacement — since I work just down the street & the dodgy post office seems to have issues w/​our apt. (different vendors, same issues). Yup, I’m wearing it now w/​very little hassle. Kam was great. Obviously, this solution is useless to those that live outside of Texas. If that’s the case however, you probably have worse issues than missing t-​shirts.

Dammit. Woot has suckered me in with the daily über-​adorable $ 10 t-​shirts! Considering that I don’t even normally wear t-shirts…that’s a pretty amazing feat. Daaaaamit.
Only negative… they need to learn how to ship faster. I mean, it’s a t-shirt…I shouldn’t have to wait 2.5 weeks to get it. Of course, I’m not going to wear it anyways, so I’m not quite sure why I’m so eager to recieve them… oh right… they are adorable. And only $ 10.

I hate to give Woot a bad rating, because it’s been a pretty solid staple of my «sites to check out first thing in the morning» for over 5 years now… But that changed recently.
I ordered an item from Woot on January 19^th. On January 26^th, it was «Out for Delivery». When I didn’t receive it by early February, I contacted someone at Woot. They told me that it was out of their hands, and that it was my job to track it down by calling the post office. I did this… No luck. I contacted Woot again, and they couldn’t have been less helpful. No refund OR item.
I’ve ordered from Woot several times, but after this latest experience, I will no longer be purchasing from them, since I can’t be confident that I will ever receive my orders.

Woot’s great! They’ve always got random stuff for sale, and they have many different sites that cater to many of my different interests. I was able to get an 80 GB Zune on Woot a couple years ago for next to nothing, and as I sit here writing this, I’m still listening to it. They also have famous ‘Woot Offs’ where they drop tons of different limited quantity items over the span of a day or two. You can get some great deals on the site and they ship quickly. That’s pretty much it.

Woot is one of the more well known «one sale a day» sites and has really gained traction. You are living under a rock if you never heard of these guys. They are pretty hit and miss with their deals, but with so many other sites similar to this I’m not going to fret if woot isn’t offering something I want. Sometimes they will have an all day «woot-​off,» which is woot deal after woot deal instead of just one deal a day. Usually the quantities on the woot-off’s are less so you’re on to the next offer in half an hour or so.
I really need to mention their customer service. Although it is impossible to get someone on the phone if you have inquiries or questions they are pretty good at getting back to you by email. I once had a problem with my order and they asked me to send pictures of the defect. They quickly sent me a replacement without any other questions. I’ll admit that I am disappointed in how long it takes them to ship out stuff, but I’m OK with that as long as their customer service is first class.

One of my lesser known hobbies is collecting Woot Shirts.
Yes, you caught me. I have an affinity for a) limited edition things b) things under 15 dollars c) things that are nerdy. Low and behold,
brings all of these together.
However, i order so many of these and the shipping takes about 3 decades that when one does come it, its almost like a surprise present coming in the mail.
The bags are kinda cute too.

is wonderful.
I get their daily updates via RSS feed so I can just click over to the site if I am interested in something. I have bought a few things from
and they all arrived fairly quickly and in excellent condition.

I LOVE woot, especially shirt.woot. I’ve become obsessed with checking their website each night at midnight (central time) for new designs. The non-​derby shirts are okay, but I think the cutest and most clever designs come from the derbies (sp?)

Wine Woot… I’m so addicted! I’ve gotten some terrific wines from Wine Woot. Sugar Bear and I love to experiment with new wines, and this website has expanded our horizons.
SB’s t-​shirt collection is multiplying exponentially due to the spectacular offerings on Shirt Woot. They are often beyond weird, so it makes him very happy. He like to wear things that not everyone else has. I haven’t gotten any t-​shirts for myself yet though.
We’ve gotten several random items from
. Everything has been great and arrived quickly. I have to check woot every day to see what they are offering!
I love Woot!

Kristina C’s review (below) is eloquently written and I agree with it, however…
Lately many of the items appear to be «duds.»
A new vacuum is great but how many of us are going to be buying a $ 300 vacuum through woot?
That said I have purchased smaller ticket items here with much satisfaction.
And truth be told: I LOVE the site! You can tell it is hosted by intelligent and witty people (check out their blogs and podcasts). Get some better items to sell and you get another star (I see on their site they are looking for a buyer…)

I’m sure many of you know of
but I just wanted to express my love for such a wonderful website.
Over the past two years, I have purchased a number of items that are half price or less and I couldn’t be any happier being a consumer.
Here’s how it works: every night at 10pm, there is a new deal that lasts for a 24 hour period. The deal is usually a handy gadget or appliance that is a huge bargain. For example, my boyfriend and I really wanted a Dyson vacuum cleaner but found them to be a bit out of our price range. But Woot had a deal where they were selling one for under $ 300.
And the best part is $ 5 shipping. Whether it’s for a micro sd card or a 42″ lcd tv, the shipping is $ 5. But it usually takes about 10 business days.
I always get excited about the new woot. And there is also wine. woot where there is a new deal every Sunday. And my personal favorite, shirt.woot. Uniquely designed t-​shirts that sometimes follow a theme. These shirts are user created and really cool. Check it out!
