Woot!

Woot looks like a solid and reputable company from the outside, but that's not the case. Asides from selling items manufacturers write off as refurburish products, you're lead to believe warranties are still honoured. Nope! And when you contact Woot regarding issues, you get misguided or ignored (depending on what mood they're in). 4 months ago I purchased an HP Envy 15 AMD Quadcore laptop with many "bright" dead pixels. Woot failed to offer any assistance, so I pawned it and took a lost.

This company is run like 10 high school sophomores are in charge. They try to be so clever at every turn, with puns and innuendoes. Even when addressing problems. I have ordered 8-10 things over the years and had problems with half I'd guess. They aren't above selling used or open box items as new. Take a long time to ship. Take a long time to refund your money. Just hasn't been a good consistent experience for me. I finally unsubscribed from their emails not wanted to be tempted to ever order again from them.

I ordered a pair of shoes for my husband in size 9 1/2 on August 20,2015 and when he told me half an hour later that he needed a 10 I tried to change the order but was past my 15 minute window so I emailed customer support. They responded three hours later saying it was too late but they would let me receive the item, return it at my expense and they would charge me a 15% restocking fee. Why couldn't someone just get on the phone, call the warehouse and say, "Hey buddy, Please make that a size 10 instead of a 9 1/2. Anyone who deals with Woot knows they don't ship right away. They are dang slow. They wouldn't budge. A 15 minute change window is too small and it is money grab to be able to charge a "restocking" fee. This is my third bad experience with them. Never again! Products I've received have been defective or they've tagged on an extra shipping fee. Don't do business with them. It's not worth it. I reported them to the Better Business Bureau.

"Can I give them NO STARS? TERRIBLE customer (no) service!

I ordered a T-Shirt which came in MUCH too small. It was an XL that fit like a Medium. Customer No-Service will do nothing.

Stay away from Woot! They take your money and dont care if you have an issue."

I bought an item that was poorly described. When I got it, the directions made it clear why it was being cleared out... it was ridiculously designed and mostly unusable. I emailed Woot for directions to return it and they said I couldn't unless it was defective and sent me a link to their impossible to find policies. I read them carefully and learned if the returned product isn't defective, there would be a 15% restocking fee and no refund would be made on the shipping. Given that I paid $88, that was better than being stuck for the whole thing. When I pointed out what I read in their policies link, they stopped responding. I thought I'd send it back anyway but the return label is for the manufacturer not Woot. I realized I would be out all my money and no product to boot. Shame on them! And this is an offshoot of Amazon isn't it? HORRIBLE customer service model!

I ordered a funny T shirt from them in a women's size. I was sent a men's T- shirt in stead. I asked about an exchange for the correct size and was told that "although they are very sorry, they do not exchange shirts that are the wrong size". So, basically, you order what you want and pay for it, and they send you whatever they want, too bad on your end. In this day and age, I am really surprised at customer service that bad. I will stick to other sites, even if the shirts cost a bit more. Do not order from them!

Customer Service (Email only) was not helpful at all. On my order I asked Woot to ship the product to my daughter's address, but the billing address was my own address. They shipped the product to me instead of her. I asked if they could pay for me to ship it to her, since I had already paid for shipping. It was clearly their mistake. I even cut and pasted the shipping address from my order to the email. Each of the 4 times I email, I was told that they had shipped the order correctly and they would do nothing else. Most company's bend over backwards to make the customer happy, even if they are not at fault. Woot is at fault and would not budge. I will not never use them again. One less email everyday!

Woot + UPS = Worst Experience Ever.
Purchased 2 piece tool cabinet.
They arrive via UPS, Top part is OK. Whole front is pushed in on the bottom chest.
UPS picks up the bottom cabinet.
Woot sends a top tool cabinet (not I have 2 tops)
Fedex picked up the non damaged top cabinet for return (Woot must have cared that this gets returned intact).
Woot Ships another bottom cabinet via UPS. This one arrived crushed from the top.
UPS picks up the bottom cabinet. Again.
Woot offers me a $50 back and I only have 1\2 of the purchase... In essence I pay full price for the top cabinet.

I tried to cancel an order 2 minutes after I placed it with Woot. This was well within the 15 minute window. After clicking cancel the top of the screen displayed my order and said it was ordered 2 minutes ago. The bottom said cancellation could not be completed because it had been past my 15 minute window. Very shady and disappointing. As others have stated they charge you 15% restocking and you lose your shipping concession and have to pay return shipping. This is how they steal. BBB will be notified.

Recently, I ordered two Adirondack chairs from Woot. Total was about $130.00. Ad claimed they were made of cypress. Turns out they were sloppily stained soft pine. The hardware was very cheap. Screw heads disintegrated as they were turned. Chairs came partially assembled. Quality was so poor that the factory assembies pulled apart with ease. I didn't get as far as actually sitting on them. Had I tried, I believe they would have collapsed into a pile of scrap. I complained to Woot in a detailed email. Twenty four hours later, they wrote back and asked for a detailed description of the problem. They said that once they received the email and some photos they would decide if they would help. I'm just going to charge back the order with the credit card company. I'm done with them for good.
