I bought some Peet’s Nespresso pods from Woot and noticed they were shipping from Wine Country Direct. Got them today and there was a flyer for Casemates in my shipment (with a coupon code!). Thought it was funny
@medz I thought they still did. I rarely visit woot anymore as the deals don’t seem as great as they used to. I did buy a truffle though. Have yet to figure out what to do with it. Maybe I’ll make risotto tjis weekend.
It won’t be the first time Woot allowed a “competitor” to advertise. Back in the earlier days of TeeTurtle, Ramy ran ads right on shirt.woot.
(For some background, read the writeup from this sale.)
Wine Country Connect*
Woot don’t sell wine, so not competitor
@medz they did before amazon took over. It was woot, shirt. Shirt.woot and wine.woot
@ironcheftoni and that is relevant in the present because…

@ironcheftoni They sell overpriced “gourmet” food items supplied by wine country connect, but no booze.
