No customer service
July 21, 2020

Due to COVID (our office being closed), we were not able us use or test the refurbished computer we purchased from Woot. When we got back in the office, we tried to start it and literally nothing happened. I did not ask for a refund, just a comparable replacement. Most companies are understanding during this pandemic, I guess Woot doesn't care. I will be sure to share my feels about Woot whenever I get a chance.

Woot sells defective product at a discount that is not so good. 50% of the products I purchased were defective on arrival had to be returned. Their customer service is also horrible and only via emails which you will be waiting for 24h for a reply. Their refund process is extremely slow as well. It's NOT worth the little bit of savings you may or may not have to have this much headache and inconvenience. Do yourself a favor, use Amazon instead of this piece of crap horrible customer service platform. I don't understand how and why parent company Amazon run Woot this horribly.

I have been buying from woot.com for years and they always deliver exactly what is on their sale page of the day. Their communication is excellent, order confirmation, shipping confirmation, etc. I have never had a problem.

Dont buy from them.
September 20, 2015

I have Bought a new Modem from them and Some how when it arrived i moved to another location and didnt test after few months i thought of checking it and it didnt even turned on...
Checking with them is no help as they said we cant change... They are not the right place toi buy. I am planning to check with Amazon why they have such vendors who sells faulty equipment on the name of Amazon.
Please avoid woot there are many other better and reliable sellers.

Warranties are worthless, they drag their feet with stupid e-mails until the 30 or 60 or 90 warranty is expired, customer service is non-existent. Amazon should be ashamed to be associated with company!

Silly me
December 8, 2014

Silly me. I just assumed Woot was in the same ranks as every other decent, costumer-service oriented online retailer I've dealt with in the past. Nope, not so! I ordered a laptop this year, 2014. The 'new' laptop I received was circa 2009! And of course they won't let me return the dinosaur machine. My first and last purchase on Woot... what a nightmare. Save yourselves!

Woot is fine if you find a product you want, purchase it at a good price, and it arrives in good shape & in a reasonable period of time. This was my experience the first time I used them. The second time, the item arrived defective, and when I contacted Woot, they told me I was on my own. Their suggestion was I take my problem to the manufacturer. In light of the fact that they have zero customer support, I will not be using them again as it's just too risky.

Ordered a tuxedo. We did rec. The correct size, but due to poor quality and design the thigh area and rise didn't fit. The quality was really bad. Their response was too bad, we could care less, it is now your problem. We can and will do absolutely nothing.

I'm a return shopper, I love their deals

Some items are refurbished while others are new (you'll know when you read the description on the item). I've worried about buying refurbished items, but I'm happy to say that there was no need to fret.

Shipping will take a couple weeks, but as long as you know that going in, there's no need to get bent out of shape over it.

I highly reccomend this site

Selling Old Computers
March 11, 2016

When I saw refurbished I though open box and returns. Instead the computer I received had a manufacture date from 2011. When I used a program that could access the hard drive, it found the hard drive had been on for 890 days So far works fine, but I would not knowingly buy something so old

This site has decent deals if you can handle virtually no customer service. Ordered shirts over 10 days ago and if I had zero status updates despite multiple emails. Their attitude has become you get it when you get it nothing we can do... I've had this experience on multiple purchases.

Deals. Woot used to be a great place to find and share deals online. It slowly started to die after Amazon bought Woot.com and eventually was shut down as of Spring 2016. I have ran across a new alternative site of the same name: http://dealswoot.us

Placed an order on 2/15/15. And I have still not received my order. Shame on me for not seeing all these poor reviews before placing my order. To make matters worse, their BBB rating is an F.

What a terrible busines, they should close down..

I expected Woot to be a good opportunity to find deals. I participate in Groupon and Amazon daily and purchase regularly. The first item I purchased from Woot, a Pyle waterproof neckband MP3 player, was defective and when I requested a return, they first didn't respond for over a week. Later, they directed me to the manufacturer under their warranty program. The last thing I need in my life is more complication so I cancelled Woot.

I ordered a reconditioned robovac from Woot last month. It came without all the necessary parts. I have reached out to Woot 3 different times and not once have my emails been answered or my request for them to call me through Amazon been returned. This was a fairly (for me) expensive item. No one else sells this missing part. I have looked everywhere. The vacuum is not usable without it so I am out the money and have a useless hunk of metal in my living room. I will not purchase from Woot again.

Woot.com sells one item a day until that item sells out or until the day is over. Usually the former happens first because the things they sell are pretty neat and are sold at very cheap prices. I've had friends buy from here, and things always come as advertised and on time. The woot community is helpful, and the owners seem like honest, likable characters who report that they predict profitability by 2043.

Great web site
August 14, 2012

Great web site. I've ordered from them 30+times. And received great merchandise. A recent order of mine was not delivered to me, tho the shipper said it was, and they'd replaced it within the week. My favorite site, and all their su bites---home woot, kids woot, sellout woot...

I ordered 99% of my Christmas gifts on line from deal websites. I ordered two new bluetooth speakers from Woot that they continued to advertise as available. One of the speakers did not work properly and they would only refer me to the manufacturer for remedy. I had to pay to ship the item and pay return shipping to have a new item replaced by the manufacturer that Woot had more available of. I asked to be put into contact with a supervisor, but my request was denied. I have since taken Woot off of my list of deal websites to shop at. I refuse to purchase another product from them. Many other deal websites have superb customer service and have even refunded my money before they received the unacceptable item back! Woot needs to step up with their customer service. Maybe they don't mind losing one customer but I have to share my experience with others - BEWARE OF WOOT!
