Since s/he's referring to current shirts, I believe he is talking about It Came Out of Nowhere, and just isn't savvy enough to recognize the reference.

Agreed.

If you order 3 you chances of getting one you like are better lol

haha no offence to the OP but I just love seeing clueless comments sometimes. "the drunk driving shirt"

Anyways a lot of people asked why buy 3? And a lot of people answered. TRADES people TRADES. Heck even ebay loves these shirts and you could probably sell it for 15 dollars there.

It's already for sale. It's the second quality post.

Nevermind. See how nice I am? I went back and found it for you.

Secondary = barter and resale market. Trading, yard sales, thrift shops, eBay, etc.

Yay. ^__^ Random shirts. I bought three. First random for me.

I wonder if my chances will go up ordering in one size larger than I actually wear....

Your chances are exactly the same no matter what size you wear, as the shirts all come out of the same pool.

I've been buying woot tee-shirts for a while now but this is the first time I've caved in and splurged on a random shirt. I even opted for 3, Merry Christmas to me!

It's just a number. $20.00 divided by 3 equals. $6.66. That's all. Don't over think this. Just t-shirts here no gateway to evils.

Congratulations!

See, that's just what they've trained you to believe! I'll bet they also say that the goat blood in the mailers is shipping ink.

d33flat wrote:do these coupons get sent out randomly? ive never gotten one

That's what I was wondering. I got one about a year ago and haven't gotten one since. I would buy every time with the coupon.

Not necessarily. I'm sure they base part of this on sales expectations, so they have more women's sizes for the "lady friendly" designs, more kids sizes for the "kid friendly" designs, etc. They don't print an equal number of all shirts, because they're not going to get an equal number of sales.

I usually order kids sizes for the random Ts, because my kids will wear anything. I've yet to get a kid sized zombie shirt (not that I would disapprove of that) but I've gotten a fairly large number of the kawaii designs.

Not complaining but weren't the random kids sizes $3.33 + $5 s&h on kid's woot? 3 shirts for $15 is awesome for a growing toddler.

I've never dipped my oar into the Random water before, because I know I'm far too lazy to sign up for trades.

On the off-chance that the tragically short-lived Cotton Armor is being silently distributed via this process, in for 3.

I have done random shirts twice, and I'm happy with 5 of the 6 shirts I've gotten. In fact, I'm wearing my Mario-as-Banksy-Graffiti random shirt today.

I'm certainly in for 3. More t-shirts!

I've never bought on random shirt day simply because of the price. I would like an explanation about why the price is what it is. If anyone could tell me I'd really appreciate it!

Got 1 questionable kid shirt out of about 15 total. They sent the one with Superman flying out of a phone booth wearing Wonder Woman's suit and she was waving his suit from the booth. Would have been great for me not so much for a 2 year old

It's simple. It's always been $6.66.

$20.00 divided by 3 equals... $6.66. Nothing sinister at hand

$20.00/3 = $6.6666666666666666 ...

If they rounded up, then it's $6.67, and that means the total would be $20.01. OVER $20!!!

So leave it to the marketing to say "if it was a penny less, then three would only be $19.98, and we can advertise "THREE FOR LESS THAN $20!!" OCH! MISTLETOE FRENCHING? GROSS!, GENIUS!!

And so, the price is that for that reason(*).

Thanks for the info.

The Random Shirt is the only way to guarantee that my significant other and I won't make the mistake of ordering each other the exact same thing (again). Thanks, Woot!

Is that more or less questionable compared to Censor This or Special Delivery in kid's sizes?

In for three! My first random purchase several months ago turned out terribly, with three shirts I hated. So I refrained from participating in randoms out of bitterness. However, it's nearly Christmas so maybe the Woot gods will smile upon me this time?

they did already

As with the last 2 random shirts, in for 3!

Yep...I hear you. I'm sitting this round out as I have been buying 3 at a go for Christmas presents (thank you, PatrickSpens and Coffeybean) and picking up one every couple weeks since before Halloween. It adds up.

So...sign me up for the support group. If there's extra time at the end, we can discuss my caffeine habit?

I hope so, too! That would be awesome.

In for 2

You rebel, you.

First time for the random 3. Crossing my fingers for good shirts. GLTA.

I'm getting one for my little sister. Because I'm crazy like that.

Three for me, too.

I've always had decent luck with random shirts, though there have been a couple of times when I got a shirt I already had.

I give those to my dad, because my shirts always amuse him, and he always needs shirts (and has no Internet service with which to purchase them himself).

Which leads me to wonder, once more, how many "Cotton Armor" shirts were pre-printed before the LawHammer fell.

In for three! My early christmas present to...myself....

OK, so I admit to being a little confused/concerned. I just ordered a 3 pack of random shirts, and noted the spot that said
$5 to get it overnight (Wednesday).

Well, of course I checked this radio button to pay the extra fiver, then saw the confirmation that says "orders usually ship within five days"

So, does that mean I get my shirts overnight in five days?

Or, will I get my shirts on Wednesday (December 20th?

You would think, as many shirts as I have ordered, I would pay attention to these things.

pockets please?

No? Well, since I have a coupon and need to use it, in for 3. :P
