I just received an email survey and coupon from woot dot com ($10 off $25) . They said they missed me and wanted to know what they did to chase me away. I am just curious, did anyone else receive the same offer?
As I haven’t looked at the website in over a year I doubt it will be used. The survey could be entertaining if it allows me to fully explain why they lost my business.
@f00l Shirt.woot is still my hangout, though with almost everything having gone DTG, it’s feeling less that it’s a “limited production” shirt and more like a “we can reprint this art in lackluster colors anytime” shirt.
@conandlibrarian FWIW, I bought one (same brand) from Newegg a few months ago and it sux. Very wobbly. If I bump my desk the slightest bit the monitors wobble and shake for several seconds. YMMV.
@Pantheist Still makin’ friends where e’er you go, eh? Please tell me you had some snappy come back, because that’s a really crappy thing to say to a customer.
@LaVikinga Haha nah, no comeback. I agree it was a crappy move, but it happened after I decided I’m not doing internet fights anymore. I just went from checking woot 2-3 times a week out of habit to never going there at all.
I received one today as well.

Not I. They tend to ignore the regular customers.
@narfcake
With Deals going down, and therefore little reason for me to login, perhaps I’ll also get some email coupons I never notice.

I got one also.
I get one every few months…I have yet to find anything to use it on. “$10 off $25” is more like “$10 off $30” after you add the $5 shipping.
I’ll have to check my trash folder. That’s where most of the Woot emails go.
I got one a month or two ago. I did end up finding some sort of Knex thing on kids.woot but haven’t put it together yet.
Humorously I forgot they charged $5 shipping, so it didn’t end up being much cheaper than Amazon even with the coupon.
@dave You didn’t hear about VWP?
Kinda wish I had one of those coupons right now. I want to buy this, but not entirely sold if this is a good deal or not.
@conandlibrarian Price compare first! This is woot, y’know!

Nope. Last time I went there a staff member asked me why I came back. Not in a friendly way.

Checked out Amazon price which was $66. The $99 cost was for other model. FYI
I didn’t get a coupon. Maybe I was too efficient at making it clear as to why I left?
