Variety of Offerings
In addition to the original Woot! site, which offers a wide variety of product offerings from microwaves to wave machines to cameras to umbrellas, several spin-off sites offer specific categories of products.
- Tech! offers technological products, including gadgets, computers and related accessories.
- Home! offers deals for the home, such as interior decorating items like rugs or kitchen equipment.
- Tools & Garden! brings you deals for your garage and yard.
- Accessories & Watches! sells items such as earrings, sunglasses and, of course, watches.
- Sport! product offerings range from athletic gear to camping equipment to recreational items.
- Kids! sells items appropriate for children or parents, including clothing, toys and baby care products.
- Wine! usually sells just wine, though accessories such as bottle holders and openers or accompaniments such as gourmet cheese and snacks are also offered.
- Shirt! sells t-shirts featuring submitted designs that receive the most votes from the Woot! community.
- Sellout! sells last-chance deals that might already have appeared on one of the other Woot! sites or might have a quantity too low to have sold on another as a featured daily deal.
Additionally, there is a section dedicated to community-sourced deals. This section features manufacturer-recommended products and user-submitted bargains.
Money-Saving Deals
The deals offered on Woot! and its various related sites represent significant savings when compared to regular retail purchases as well as when compared to discounted prices offered elsewhere on the Internet. Its daily deal is the lowest available price across the web at the time of sale. The amount of savings varies from deal to deal, but the price on Woot! typically is 20 percent to 70 percent less than retail price.
Sometimes, the lower price is due to a product's refurbished rather than new condition. For example, a recent Home! deal offered refurbished microwaves at about 40 percent of the price for a new version of the same model. However, the lower price does not reflect lower quality. Sometimes products end up for sale on Woot! due to factory clear-outs, bulk purchasing or manufacturer specials.
Low-Cost Flat Fee Shipping
For only $5, your purchase ships via FedEx or United Parcel Service. This flat fee applies regardless of the number of items or the package weight and size. Expedited shipping options are available for an additional fee.
