yes u will get a tracking number u just click on the order on your account. knowing smart post maybe 8-10 days or if u get fast shipping it will be in by tommorow

Funny thing about those guys?
Nothing is really funny, I just so happen to hate them both.

ladybucki wrote:I was wondering the same thing. I guess I'm new enough and dumb enough that I just haven't figured things out yet. For example, why do the blocks under the usernames have colors? How can you tell how many purchases someone has made? How do you buy a shirt that was offered yesterday (without finding a link to it here)? I'm really stumbling around this site and appreciate any help.......

Hover over the colored box under someone's username with your mouse and it will answer two of your questions.

SmartPost uses this type of system for shipping:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoke-hub_distribution_paradigm

This is a very efficient way of processing packages, however, it is mainly used for air, when it takes about 4 hours (if that) to go cross country vs. 4 days or so to truck across country. If it helps, think of New Berlin, WI as the main hub. All packages will go from Wootville, TX to New Berlin, WI, and then to the local sorting hub (usually). This hub is usually closest to the local BMC. It may be entered there, but usually FedEx either goes to the local PO and hands it off or hands it off to a local carrier to deliver it to the local PO. (SpeeDee delivery here...why don't they switch in New Berlin, WI??? Faster and it can be done. SpeeDee delivers/picks up there.) After that, it's up to the local PO, which usually means next day unless you go visit the PO that day after the delivery, maybe.

Compare this to FedEx Ground, which is usually point-to-point(-to-point), speedier for ground, as trucks are slow compared to airplanes. However it does cost more. And no PO to deal with.

Hopefully this helps answer some questions about SmartPost.

Anyone having trouble tracking there order(s) with smartpost?

What are you talking about? Buty a shirt and see for yourself.
They are using excellent quality American Apparel 'base shirts' silkscreened on professional equipent.
See the blog with photos of the operation.

I am so freaking tired of people not realizing that there are no new shirts on the weekends. Hasn't this happened the past two weekends in a row? Isn't it also mentioned in the What Is Shirt.Woot? Blog? People are so idiotic.

Shirt 2

Well, thank you for posting a link but that still doesn't answer my question. Where did you get this link? I have yet to see anything on the home page that will let me know I can still order a shirt that was sold out yesterday. I'm not saying I want to order this shirt because I don't! I just want to know how to order a shirt that was offered yesterday without coming here and scouring the posts for a link to it.

Nice call, I've read Calvin and Hobbes plenty so I guess I'll just buy an iron on transfer and use the ORIGINAL rather than the bull$hit knockoff (not rewarding woot for rewarding intellectually dishonest/vacant people).

So you came back to reprimand people for checking a site that hasn't been updated? If only you were smart enough to be a real hypocrite.

Unfortunately, after years of of living next to poser, loser skateboard neighbor kids, I know that the shirt with flame and water is a direct copyright infringement of a skateboard company. I will try to find out the name of it and post on here.

Your thinking of World Industries.

The first two things I though of when looking at this woot was World Industries and Calvin and Hobbes.

Lame.

I can't wait to get all my new shirts. I'm hoping for a theme that I can actually think of something that is original that will be liked to put into the Derby too. So far, nada has come to mind other than trying to think of woot themed super heroes... but there is already the flying monkey for that, maybe Woot-Monkey-Man?

Nahhhh

thanks a lot. yea, that's the company. doesn't woot catch these things? it certainly puts them at legal risk for printing, distributing and profiting of off it.

This is plagiarism, and i being a loyal and respectable member (Self Proclaimed) of Woot strongly condemn use of plagiarism in any field other then academia.

the snowmen graphic....seems like it may have been stolen from a Calvin and Hobbes strip...

So I just got my two shirts from FedEx... is it just me, or is the design for the water and fire shirt shaped like breasts??

Lame.

the world industries characters are look different

The shirts are very well made and soft. My men's XL is a true XL, but my women's L seems a tad small. I'm just probably used to loose t-shirts. All in all a great deal.

Anyone notice the return address label (at least on mine) was for Buy.com?!?!?!? Woot's buying Buy.com? hehe

I guess I missed something on the ordering page when I bought two of the two-shirt deal. Now I have two Unhappy Meeting in XL, and two Snowmen In Heat in 2X. I thought I was ordering one each in both sizes. Did anyone else try to order two sets?

Finally got mine today.

I noticed that as well.

Anyone else get an Unhappy Meeting shirt that has part of the alignment hash marks printed as well? they are very small but there none the less. kind of odd... but probably not worth exchanging... Hey shirt.woot, watch the print quality!

MrDan wrote:Anyone notice the return address label (at least on mine) was for Buy.com?!?!?!? Woot's buying Buy.com? hehe

Yea I was a bit put off by that as well. I saw the package, thought, Where's the feet? have I bought from buy.com? They're all a-holes. Then I see the side of the box.

Can someone remind me what the meaning behind the water and fire shirt is? I just got mine today, and all I remember about ordering it is, "Cool, two shirts for ten bucks, and one's a copyright violation!"...

it means that for all eternity, people will continue to debate which one of the two-fer shirts was more of a copyright violation. It means nothing. It means everything. It means what you want it to mean. Fire. Water. They both can destroy the other. They meet. It is unhappy that they meet when they could destroy each other.

I ordered 2 sets of the shirt, one for me and one for my wife. I got my shirts today and guess what I got two XXL shirts of the Unhappy Meeting and two WL shirts of the Snowmen. Where's the feet? do I want with 2 of the exact same shirt!!!! I want both shirts for my wife and I. And I don't think I am the only one who had this problem. Woot seriously f'd up.

ok so i'm looking at the tracking page for my order and it says my package was "missent". It was supposed to go to buffalo but it is currently in long island. has this happened to anyone else?

Farewell Shirts which got Reckoned.

Ye shall be missed!

Had to grab Unhappy Meeting in its final moments.
