I came here awhile ago after seeing it listed on wootalyzer. Woot has been really letting me down lately, but the signal to noise ratio here is pretty good!

If you look in "My Flings" you'll see your order info - my MB from the 24th is still showing as "processing".......so, nope - hasn't shipped yet! I had purchased those Xantrex converters on 7/18, showed it processing and then received notification it had shipped on 7/28, but it had actually shipped on 7/23 and I received it yesterday! So maybe the MBs have shipped...  So........not only do we get a mystery box.........but, the arrival date is also a mystery!?? Hmmmm....  WELCOME FELLOW WOOTERS!!!!!!!

madcran wrote:In for one fling! I bought the last one, which is still processing, and figured I might as well buy this. I then clicked to buy a second one and it let me get to the order page, would it let me order a second one for $4 shipping even though the front page says one per person?  Yes, you CAN order more than one of these right now, but I would not advise it - they just have not caught / fixed the bug yet - normally when the item description says limit one, when you attempt another it will bring a dialog box that prevents you from ordering. Since they have been fairly strict in enforcing limits lately (especially on Mystery Boxes), I would bet that if you buy more than one through the loophole before it is fixed that you'll receive a refund via the help desk and only get one. I may be wrong and they might let them through, but expect to get the same exact thing.

Awesome! so how often do they have FlingOff's here? Dude, the Flings never stop - sometimes there are 10 or 15 a day, sometimes just one or two. These guys just put up item after item. The counter (time) is an estimate of sellout - sometimes it happens a lot quicker and then the next item pops up. Normally you can see the next few items they will offer in the Upcoming Flings section - unless you use the widget you'll find yourself checking back here often during the day to see where things are - if you ever get a page that looks like it didn't load fully (no product) it means they are between items and they were overrun by orders and didn't have enough upcoming items in the queue - it happens, but not often. And, sometimes they have such a glut that the timer is accurate - you just never know. One more thing, items repeat a bit, which is both good and bad. Check out the Knowledge Base and the FAQ section and read the Everything Else section of the forums, you'll be an old hat in no time.

This was my final post on that site: Fine W**t you win...sort of. I won't say the website name. This is my four post (three were erased) Everyone who is complaining about the B O C not coming, today you can go buy a Mystery Box from another deal site. I know it is not close to being the same, but it might fulfill the need just a little bit. Please W**t, don't take down my post, it is not a complaint, just a notice that other sites do exist out there. People who are going to buy this card will still buy this card no matter what I say. I have bought a lot of stuff from you and I think I should be able to say something that isn't "W**t is always right and the bestest ever!"

We do all pretty much act like adults here and there is very little swearing, name calling etc. It happens once in awhile but I haven't seen a post deleted.

Screw woot! and their mods - I'm on probation for another 50 hours over there for "circumventing filters" simply because I took a political stance in a post contrary to the moderator. And I've over 100 purchases there since 2005 in three accounts - but they don't care, they'd rather alienate a good customer by modding down or deleting a post . . . Woot! is alienating themselves from their customers more and more every day they pull the post mod / delete crap when it is NOT NECESSARY . . .

So have the mystery boxes in the past been all the same...Or with different things?

Gotoma wrote:So have the mystery boxes in the past been all the same...Or with different things? The boxes have been a mix. When they are offered they (meaning that particular offer) usually have the same "core" item with slight variation - I would advise a quick look through the Forum section and check out what people have gotten in past Mystery Boxes. Normally the Mystery Box items do not repeat much from offering to offering. Now, that said, you may encounter the Infamous Mystery Box thread (the $9.99 box) which admittedly, Thing Fling flubbed big time - but they issued coupons and sent gifts to make it right - otherwise the Mystery Boxes here are generally a good value for the price paid. Overall most people are quite pleased with the experience I feel.
