Generally when it’s time to Woot Off, the frenzy extends to most of the Woot sites (in addition to the main one)… but for some reason, today there’s a rotating offering of products on the main site only. So you can Woot Off at Woot, but not at Kids.Woot or Sport.Woot or (you knew I was going to bring it up) Wine.Woot. Curious.
[However, take note if you’re in the market for an iPod: Tech.Woot has refurbished latest-generation 32GB Touches today for just $220, which is also a pretty sweet deal.]
Nevertheless, this could mean some smokin’ deals all day long on the main site, lasting anywhere from a few seconds to thirty minutes apiece. And don’t forget that $5 for shipping covers you for an entire day, no matter how much you buy. [Edited to add: $5-all-day-shipping is no more, boo hoo!]
Sadly, they got rid of the $5 all-day shipping… see here: http://www.woot.com/blog/post/the-art-of-cart-your-guide-to-the-new-woot-shopping-cart , towards the bottom, item #2 “Real talk: we only ever had that $5 All You Can Ship in a Day promotion going because we didn’t have a shopping cart. So now that we have a shopping cart, we’re getting rid of it. Standard shipping is now $5 per order — just get all your stuff in one order, and it’s basically the same thing.”
Unfortunately, during a Woot-off, you can’t possibly buy everything in one order unless you only want one thing, so you’ll pay more for shipping.
Dangit! My mistake, thanks for letting me know. Grumble, grumble.
They kind of snuck it in there, and you wouldn’t know unless you bought things more than once in a day. It’s not very obvious 🙁
Thanks for the heads up on the iPod deal. Perfect birthday present for the 13 year old!
Holy fast shipping! I just got the ipod i ordered!
