Looks like Kids.Woot is having a Woot-Off again!

Maybe some good deals on holiday gifts?

What exactly is a Woot-Off?

Usually Woot (any of the Woot sites) has 1 deal everyday. They last either until sold out or until midnight when the next deal starts. During a Woot-Off, there will be multiple items throughout the day(s) with each one being listed until it sells out and then a new item lists. You never know what it's going to be. Since Kids.Woot only just started doing Woot-Offs recently, you never know how long they are going to last.

But you can always order anywhere between 1-3 of the listed item for the $5 shipping charge. (In other words, the shipping will be $5 regardless of whether you order 1, 2, or 3 of that item AND regardless of the size/weight of the product.)

Someone on here (BigDaddy?) posted about the firefox add on Check4Change. Highlight the title of the item for sale, right click and check4change every 15 seconds. Under options make sure "don't stop monitoring after first change" is checked. Then it'll alert you when a new item pops up!

I use the Wootalyzer to track Woot-Offs and other deals (it tracks some other popular online deal sites as well).

(Sorry I didn't include the Kids Woot link in the first post. I haven't posted here much yet and am still getting the hang of the posting interface.)

Wow. They currently have a Hannah Montana Video camera on there. I so wish we had the money. My dd flipped when she saw it. They've had some great deals on there.

Can anyone tell me if they got an e-mail confirmation when they ordered from woot? We tried to snag the Hannah Montana camera for my niece and my husband said it went through, but there is no record of my order on my account and I haven't gotten any e-mails about my order either

I received an email right after I ordered. I got the fishing poles though. Maybe they are backed up a bit?

I usually get an instant e-mail, but maybe it's running slow:shrug-shoulders:

During the last regular Woot-Off, I didn't get a confirmation email on a couple of my things for several hours.

I ordered a Woot Kids item on 11/5. It didn't ship until 9 days later on 11/13. It's not scheduled to get here until 20th! Do Woot items usually take this long??

I've "wooted" a few times. That sounds about normal. I think it depends on the demand, and the warehouse that the items are in.

Ordered: 9/11
Shipped: 9/16
Delivered: 9/25

Ordered: 9/16
Shipped: 9/17
Delivered: 9/28

Ordered: 9/23
Shipped: 10/07
Delivered: 10/20

They also use a shipping method that takes a long time (which is why it's so cheap)...so that's part of it too. The last time I ordered during a Woot-Off, my stuff shipped from Texas to Wisconsin to Indianapolis and then finally to me in Kentucky.

I'd guess that there will probably be another Woot-Off (at least on the main Woot site) before Christmas...but you may not be able to receive stuff in time for Christmas (unless they happen to do it really soon).

Just wanted to warn people about the Dora/Spongebob digi frames they have today.....they are AWFUL. I got some last year and the resolution is just awful. The pics are blurry and the overall quality is just pure crap. I took mine straight back to the store. Realy, don't spend $25 on them, don't spend $5.
