"New" Lenovo Laptop
February 13, 2016

Purchased a "New" Lenovo laptop only to find-out it's used! Had the prior owner's information stored on it. It also didn't work well because the speakers were shot and the screen frequently flickered on and off. Woot.com, via email, told me to take the issue to Lenovo rather than accept that they lied, sent a refurbished (and damaged) product, and will not take it back. I threatened to file a BBB complaint and now Woot.com states they will take back the laptop. Everyone having an issue with Woot.com should file a complaint. Woot.com will have to reconcile your issues with the BBB and ultimately you if you do file a complaint.

I ordered a computer and it is defective. Woot told me that they did not manufacture this junk and I needed to contact the supplier. I called Joy Industries and they told me that Woot is on "credit hold" and wished me the "best of luck" I have contacted my bank and filed dispute on the charge. In the interim Woot keeps on spamming me. Wonder if they have ever had a repeat customer.

I check it everyday! We got HDMI cables for $4.99, a Shark Steamer for $99, a Dyson for 289.99 (refurb), Cuisineart Mixer and pot sets,... tons of stuff and everything has been great for us. In total, I've purchased about 30 items from woot. Secure checkout, easy to use with PayPal.

I hadn't heard of Woot but I am an Amazon customer and they regularly solicit me via email. They sent an announcement of re manufactured Magellan 7" GPS' that were being sold at half the cost of a new one. I presently use a small, older Garmin and thought I couldn't go wrong.

Boy, was I mistaken! Neither the description, the item, or the packaging tells me which model number I bought. Magellan support seems as screwed up as Woot and hasn't been of help. (I wanted to download the most current map but need the model # to do so.)

The voice part of this GPS sounds like the gal has been drinking -- garbled, hard to understand. It's a piece of junk. I trusted the Amazon connection -- shouldn't. I didn't Google reviews -- should have. I'm out $100. Stir clear of this outfit. They suck.

Woot's warranty is 21 days, period. Can you live with that?

We bought a "refurbished" Sony mirrorless camera. The lens (the expensive part) failed (camera won't recognize it) in 80 days during our European vacation. Camera wasn't in that good of condition when received anyway - not refurbished, just worn, with a dirty sensor.

Amazon owns Woot; I like Amazon, but now I think Woot is just how Amazon dumps their (easy) returns. I would have been better off buying new at retail locally, with a real warranty. Woot promotes itself as being cool, funny, and hip, but really it's just a ripoff. I recommend you stay away; I know I am.

I ordered an HP Envy laptop as a refurbished model. Checked out and possibly misspelled my email. Anyway, laptop showed up as expected and the keyboard doesn't work. Can't contact woot by telephone and they are absolutely no help through email. They absolutely refuse to help me. Worthless return policy. I get ahold of HP directly and trouble shoot the laptop for 3 days straight. It's finally determined that the keyboard is bad. Wouldn't be a problem but Woot, Inc. never sent HP a purchase update like they are required to do so now my Laptop is out of warranty 3 days after it arrived. I warn you, NEVER deal with this company. My next option is to do a credit card chargeback.

They only allow returns for damaged or incorrect items. Purchased a pair of athletic shoes that turned out to be extremely narrow and were too uncomfortable to wear. They wouldn't take them back since they weren't damaged. This policy wasn't explained when I signed up nor when I made the purchase.

This site usually has some stellar prices on a lot of random things. Shipping is pretty fast, and so far, I have no complaints. Shirtwoot is also pretty cool, and I have found some really funny t-shirts on there.

Poor quality t-shirts
March 29, 2013

Poor quality t-shirts. This is a bummer because the designs can be quite cool. I've bought a few of them, but they are the lowest quality of material you can find in a tshirt. They shrink significantly as well.

Shipped wrong item
February 25, 2019

Ordered a refurbed HP 17.3 touchscreen notebook back in November for my daughter. When received, set it aside waiting for her visit. She's here now & when we started setting it up I realized I was sent a 15.6 notebook with no touchscreen! When I called, customer service rep snottily asked why I waited so long to call & there was nothing he could do now. I just wanted some type of credit. Finally he said to send it back & I could get a full refund. Which I guess would be ok, except she's leaving in a couple of days & I don't have time for this. I guess I'll just eat the mistake. I should have opened & inspected right away - my fault. But their customer service was snotty & I will never buy from them again! A $35-$50 dollar credit was all I was looking for!

Unfair Pricing
November 15, 2019

Horrible. A company owned by Amazon. Purchased a HP Deskjet 2600 All in one printer from "Woot One Day SALE" for $39.99 plus shipping. After I ordered it I was looking at tracking my package and stumbled across the SAME printer at Amazon for $24 Free Shipping. Never Again!

Horrible retailer
February 20, 2016

Bought a pair of windshield wipers -- which, by the way, after shipping weren't so great a deal. The included adapters only fit a limited amount of vehicles (not mine), but despite no indication in the listing of what vehicles they would or wouldn't fit, they would not take them back. Total rip-off. Stay away.
UPDATE: After contacting both the Texas BBB and AmEx, I received a refund. Still, though, would never do business with them again, but am upgrading from 1 star to 2 since they did (under pressure) refund my money.

Thanks for NOTHING Woot!
September 11, 2017

*** Today we received a refurbished Cusinart CMW-200 FR Microwave from Amazon supplied by WOOT. The packaging was in perfect condition. The microwave was SMASHED in on the right side and the door wouldn't open. What kind of company would send out an appliance in that condition? We are so disappointed. It feels unfair and like a total waste of everyone's time. :(

Found Woot a few years ago. Initially wasan't bad despite the shipping charges. The we hit a snag and Woot became an aggravation. My son-in-law ordered a laptop for me that I paid for but wanted to save shipping. As it turned out the powercord to the laptop had to major cuts in it. I tried to contact Woot and gave them everything, including the order number, my son-in-law's information etc. This took like 3 emails. Only then they had an issue that the problem wasan;t raised from my son-in-laws email. As they had lot of issues during the holdiays I didn't bother them but this will cost Woot a customer. Oh well...

Woot.com is great!
December 11, 2009

Woot.com is great! Love the snark. Love the Woot-offs. Only thing that frustrates me is that all the good stuff gets sold out so fast! I also like to shop at http://www.BuyersHQ.com. It's a similar site to Woot: one deal a day. They don't sell out so fast, though, and sometimes they have cheaper stuff than Woot does.

If you want a little excitement in your life! Order from here! If you like the silent type, order from here! If you enjoy being lied to, over and over again (when you do get a response)...;;; order from here! If, like the feeling of being screwed over, ORDER from WOOT! Something, is beginning to stink and its this company! Still waiting for an order, I place on 8/11. Had to complain on FB to get a response, than I was lied to. Now, I wonder how long it would take to get my money back! LMAO! Just send me my package, so I can move on with my life! Thats all I want!

This site is horrible
October 24, 2014

This site is horrible. I placed my first Woot order for 2 curling iron holders. When the package was delivered, I received a mailing box, with what looked like the box that the holder should have been in but, COMPLETELY EMPTY. I thought "WOW, is this some type of joke". The only customer service is via email. They did reply that I would be refunded. When checking my bank statement today, I received credit for 1 of the 2 items, that were never recd. Just one more reason to NEVER order from this site again.
