Box of Cats #17

June 25th, 2011 by Jim

I scored #17–the first in a long while for me. This one offered nothing of real value, but the head and wrist bands were a nice touch, especially considering how much effort Woot went through to include those. That’s very impressive.

Our Box (#17, 1.4 lbs and 12.2″ x 9.2″ x 5.2″)

  • 1 Woot! Head and Arm Band Set — Issue #2980 (Made special for this BoC)

We received our 6th box of cats today from Woot! Allison got this one. I only got the mysterious “buttafuoco” error message. Anyway, here’s what we got…

Our Box (#6, 4.8 lbs and 11.7″ x 11.7″ x 11.7″)

Unfortunately, the box was not well taped and it appeared to be tampered with in transit. Hopefully nothing “fell out” along the way. More tape, please! The last box (#5) to ship to our house was in very similar condition, yet the box shipped to my office (#4) was in perfect condition. Hmmm…

Thanks, Woot!
