Woot.com – Cost Savings Worth Cheering About

Here’s something to cheer about – brand new electronics at a discounted price. It’s not too good to be true. It’s simply Woot.com, and here’s how it works. There is only one product for sale every day. That product is made available at midnight, central time, and is available until it is either sold out or until 11:59 p.m – whichever comes first. Woot does not disclose how many it has in stock. You can buy up to three of that product, and each buyer can only order once a day.

Items for sale run the gamut. Last week, items for sale included a back pain relief system, a pedometer, a blue tooth mouse, a wi-fi robo cam, an HD player, a heart rate monitor and a Netbook with accessory kit. In the past, they’ve had mp3 players, LCD monitors, digital cameras, GPS devices and so on. Most items are brand new, but some are refurbished, and that is always disclosed. If you’re looking to buy some type of electronic device, it pays to check Woot.com daily.

Caveats
There are some caveats. On occasion, you may find the item cheaper on another website. Or, the item may not be the quality you’re hoping for. To help you shop, Woot.com offers an online forum where people can talk about their experiences with the product of the day. There’s also a blog. Earlier in March, one buyer posted that Amazon.com was selling the item of the day, brand new, for only $40 more than the refurbished one for sale on Woot. Comments like those help you make an informed decision.

Returns may not be easy or cheap, so you definitely want to do your homework before you buy. You pay shipping costs to return your item, and because they often sell out daily, there may not be a replacement item available. When that happens, you get your money back, but you don’t recoup shipping costs. If the item you purchase has malfunctioned, Woot recommends contacting the manufacturer before returning it to Woot. The manufacturer will often send a replacement model or an upgraded model at no cost to you.
