I bought the first wine woot--2 bottles of merlot and 2 bottles of sauvignon. It's up in the Woot-off right now. But I ordered it on May 24 and it's still not here! (I live in NJ where they say they will have longer shipping times, but this is getting to be a realllllllyyyy loooooonnnggg time!)

Also my husband almost strangled me when I told him b/c we have tons of great wine stores around here and we rarely spend more than $10 for a bottle of wine!

Yes and what got to me was I refreshed the page in that minute and missed it. Then to make matters worse right after the BOC they put the gig USB hard drive pens that I was waiting for. That sold out in under a minute as well.

I love their FAQs, here's an excerpt:

Will I receive customer support like I'm used to?
No. Well, not really. If you buy something you don't end up liking or you have what marketing people call "buyer's remorse," sell it on eBay. It's likely you'll make money doing this and save everyone a hassle. If the item doesn't work, find out what you're doing wrong. Yes, we know you think the item is bad, but it's probably your fault. Google your problem, or come back to that product discussion in our community and ask other people if they know. Try to call the manufacturer and ask if they know. If you give up and must return it to us, then follow on to the next FAQ entry.

How do I return a defective product?
Unless we specifically tell you not to, call the manufacturer of the product you bought. You will likely get a replacement of a new model or better item from them. If we still haven't dissuaded you, email rma@woot.com with your woot order number, the name of the product you are returning, and the detailed problem with the item. We will respond with return authorization by the next business day. Because we aren't likely to have a replacement in stock, you should be prepared for a refund-only option if that's all we can do. Know that return freight will be at your expense. Again, you will probably get a better deal from the manufacturer, or whoever else handling customer service for that product.
Can Woot start listing sale prices in the blog entries?
No, not any time soon. Certain portions of our database have been seized by INTERPOL as part of an ongoing investigation into bootleg cigarette trafficking. Or, possibly, the Russian mafia has hacked our blog and disabled the price-listing function because it was somehow interfering with their spam operation. Or maybe we just don't feel like it. In any case, the answer is no.

I love the copy at Woot! I check woot every morning just before I start working, as an inspiration. Did you see the one where they were selling a heart rate monitor with a parody of Poe's The Telltale Heart? It was hilarious!

The podcasts can be inspired, too. There was one about Bluetooth...the pirate.

From the wine site:

Rules and restrictions:
Wine sold by winery (or a retailer in your state where necessary)
You must be 21 or older to order
Whoever receives the package must be 21 or older
If you’re drunk when the package shows up, you will not be allowed to receive it

Well that leaves a few folks I know out.

The pod casts are fun. If I remember correctly, the first time they started that was for a woot off.

Well thank goodness NY is on the ship-to list, and not the victim of "stick-in-the-mud buzzkilling state legislators"

They've had the same six bottles all day, pricey I guess.
