Favorite Find: kids.woot!
Posted in Favorite Find on 08/26/2009 06:18 pm by CaceyLast week a friend of ours forwarded us a link to kids.woot. I had never heard of it before but was amazed at the deals they offer and the shipping is always a flat $5! I guess the catch is that you have to check it frequently because they only offer one item per day.
We were able to purchase Spencer’s christmas gift, a Thomas the Train Railway Set with Engine Reconition Technology for only $49 – it sells for $150 at Toys R Us!
The product narratives are quite hilarious and entertaining! Here is what they send when you sign up for an account. I got a kick out if it!
Welcome to the warm embrace of Woot, the first, best, and most hygienic daily deal site! Sit still a minute because you need to know this stuff:
- You’re now a registered member of all four of our sites: woot.com, shirt.woot.com, wine.woot.com and sellout.woot.com. Don’t be alarmed. We’ll explain more later.
- Typical orders take up to 5 business days to ship from our warehouse (except for overnight t-shirt orders, which go out sooner, and wine orders, which take longer). If you order an item during peak times like a Woot-Off, it can take a little longer. Once we ship it, delivery time to your door depends on FedEx or SmartPost.
- Once the item ships out, you can access your tracking data by going to Your Account and clicking on the order number. If you have a problem receiving your order, or you receive the wrong item, contact service@woot.com.
- If you receive your item and it doesn’t work, contact the manufacturer first. They made the junk. Let them deal with it. If they turn out to be total tools, contact service@woot.com and we’ll grudgingly provide some further assistance.
- If you receive your item and decide you don’t like it, take it to eBay or pawn it off on one of your so-called friends. We don’t want it, either.
