Hi, I've noticed that whenever I purchase something on Woot and "unlock" the All-Day free shipping, that it includes Shirt.Woot. Say I purchase from Sport.Woot first, and then Shirt.Woot, it allows you to select the one-day upgrade on Shirt for free.

This does not work the other way around though. If you purchase from Shirt.Woot first and upgrade to one-day shipping, this does not unlock All-Day free shipping on the rest of Woot's sites.

So the question is if the error will be fixed.

Well now that you've told them...

(Just to clarify, the "error" is that one can get free upgraded shipping on shirt.woot after purchasing off another site; woot has been very clear that upgraded shipping on shirt is not part of the $5 shipping special. So now that you've told them, I'm sure they'll fix the code so that one can't get free upgraded shipping at shirt. And just to be clear, I was unaware of the loophole until computermd82 identified it.)

I've been told this has been fixed and will be rolled out later this week. Thanks for bringing to our attention.

But is the "fix" that you can no longer game the system to get free upgraded shirt shipping? OR that upgraded shirt shipping counts as your $5 unlock for all-you-can-ship?

They didn't tell me that part. =\

I guess we'll know soon.

I bought something from one of the home.woot side sales yesterday, unlocking shipping. Then I bought the rad-ish shirt and was able to choose the option for free overnight shipping. Radical!
