Woot Review
Similar in tone and content to other Internet discount retailers like eBay and Overstock, Woot is taking the online discount and wholesale closeout price market by storm. Founded by an electronics wholesaler known as Matt Rutledge in the suburb of Carrollton, Texas, which is located in Dallas, the site made its online debut on July 12, 2004. Although Woot started out as a single domain that mostly featured one discount per day as per its "One Day, One Deal," slogan, it soon began to branch out to include other domains that offered deals and discounts in specific categories. For instance, in addition Woot.com, the site also owns and operates Wine.woot, Shirt.woot, Kids.woot, Sellout.woot and countless other similar extensions.
Woot follows a one-deal-a-day business model in which customers are usually limited to only buying up to three of the day's item per customer. Sometimes the limit is set at only one or two, depending upon the available stock of the item. Originally, Woot would sell its one discounted product per day until the stock of that item was sold or until the product was replaced at midnight Central time with the next day's product offering. If the site sold out of its advertised deal for the day, then another deal would not appear until midnight that night. However, when Amazon acquired Woot, it changed it so that if a product sells out fast enough, another daily deal will be offered for purchase instead of customers having to wait until midnight for the next deal.
Because Woot doesn't manufacture the items sold on its site, it doesn't offer any customer support for the products. It simply seeks to bring products to customers at the lowest possible prices, usually at discounted prices comparable to wholesale prices or better. Additionally, defective products can't ever be replaced, but simply refunded. All of Woot's extension ship within the United States, and everything ships for a flat fee regardless of the weight, size or volume of the package.
The many special events that Woot holds are part of what makes the company so popular. For instance, sometimes the site deviates away from its "One Day, One Deal" business model for what it's fondly dubbed a "Woot-Off." A Woot-Off lasts for an unspecified length of time that's usually anywhere between 24 and 72 hours during which Woot's products sell over very quickly and are immediately replaced by other special deals within just one or two minutes.
Additionally, Woot has been known to offer a blind grab event known as the "Random Crap" event. The idea behind the "Bag of Crap" is that customers purchase a bag that has one relatively good and sometimes really expensive item along with three "crappy" items. The Random Crap event remains popular and usually triggers such a response from customers that millions of order requests are placed, and the bags of crap sell out within just a few minutes. The overwhelming response sometimes leads to server lags and crashes.
The other event for which Woot has become known is its 2-for-Tuesday events. Starting in January 2006, Woot began offering two packs of products every Tuesday. Occasionally, the site will offer quantities more than two, such as 3-for-Tu3sday and 4-for 4uesday events and so on.
