You can't purchase it because they don't have the product to sell. That's what people are talking about. The deal itself is sold out. But they told buyers they were selling the Nabi 2 but now say it's the older Nabi 1 but will not cancel orders. Be glad you missed the deal.

Its been 12 hours since we received "the email" Is Woot ever going to respond to any of us?? I am getting angrier by the minute. Most of us are hooked up to pretty large Mom boards who have a lot of buying power. Word of mouth is very powerful....just saying!

I just posted a message to nabi on ther FB to let them know about the scum here on Woot and how they are putting a black mark on there product! not nabis fault the scum at Woot!

they retail for 199.00

nooo I want my Nabi2 do not cancel mine until it's in my hands thanks

Feliz Nabi Gone....... Feliz Nabi Gone......

I payed on Paypal. I disputed just in case. Either deliver the correct item for the sold price, or cancel orders. I don't want to return the item. That's additional hassle.

i guess the admins are hoping this will just blow over.

We know that. The question (the post you replied to) was what is the WHOLESALE price? Meaning, many of us feel the proper business/PR decision would be for Woot to obtain more of the Nabi2's and send them to us (those of us who have completed orders and already paid for them) at (or possibly slightly below) THEIR cost, in order to make this right. It would be but a drop in the bucket of Woot's overall profits this year.

It's ONLY 7:27am. They haven't even gotten into the office yet. Give them time to get there and (hopefully) have an urgent meeting to address this situation.

Woot, I hope you have run this situation by your legal counsel. Depending on how this situation is handled, you could be opening yourself up to some significant penalties and fines under federal law. I hope the officers of the corporation are doing their homework.

(Not only can you not intentionally send people a product they didn't order, you also may not send them boxes of rocks - just in case that was your Plan B.)

Yeah, I suspect TT (et. al.) need to keep mum until someone with authority can address the situation.

I would think that by now Amazon would be all over this and thinking about damage control!!! This issue has me questioning my relationship not only with Woot!, but also with Amazon!

I'm a Fan-a-Tech on Fuhu's nabi Tablet Facebook page. We were all concerned yesterday when we saw this initial posting and a number of us replied and commented that they were advertising for the original nabi Tablet (nabi 1). These comments where removed by the Admin staff when they confirmed that they were actually selling the nabi 2 Tablets.

The original nabi Tablet was sold exclusively through Toys R Us last Christmas and into early spring, until Fuhu ceased production of it and discontinued their contracts with Toys R Us. Toys R Us did not fulfill their contract agreements and never ordered enough product to fill the demand. Fuhu only kept enough stock to resolve any warranty related issues when and if they arose.

We brought this up yesterday behind the scenes with Fuhu and they've indicated that they did not sell off any overstock.

If it is the original nabi Tablet it should have been selling well below the $100 mark, as it is no longer in production and will not be receiving any further nabi OS updates from Fuhu. There is still online support. Remember Best Buy had the new tablet on sale on Black Friday for an amazing $129.

So Woot may still be screwed up, as while the packaging is different from the original nabi Tablet and nabi 2 Tablet, the nabi 2 box does not say nabi 2 Tablet on it, it just says nabi Tablet.

My blog post shows you what the nabi 2 Tablet packaging and tablet should look like, so God willing, this is what is being shipped to everyone. If the packaging does not look like what is shown in the first two images or there is not grid on the back. Ship it back to Woot, as it is an original nabi Tablet.

The nabi 2 Tablet is awesome with specs that match and in some cases beat the Nexus 7 (Micro SD Card slot and Mini HDMI out).

We hope you all get what you ordered and are able to join our great community!

I was wondering about this myself--thought it was really odd that no stores (other than a couple of individual sellers on eBay) offer the 1st gen version, yet Woot had a whole bunch of them to sell? I'm hoping they are coming up with an inventive way of saying..."Na, just kidding...we wouldn't do that to ya." Although I already bought a replacement at RadioShack so will have to return one or the other--I'd prefer to return the more expensive one!

Wow very impressed with Nabi support! Thanks for the tips! Take note Woot this is what customer service looks like.

Thanks!

The Fan-a-Techs are a small group of volunteer parents that help out on the nabi Tablet Facebook page providing timely support in conjunction with the nabi Cares Support team.

You Sir may have saved Nabi's reputation over this! Woot! has yet to show their hand.

What does Nabi have to do with all this? Why would their reputation be in jeopardy?

I bought 2 of these from Amazon at $199. Yesterday, when I saw Woot offering it for $129, I contacted Amazon and asked them to meet Woot's price. They refused. I told them that didn't make sense since they own Woot but never the less they said NO. I went to Woot and ordered 2 Nabi2s. Amazon sent me return labels and waived the restocking fee. Thank goodness I did not return them yet since Woot majorly screwed up. I am so pissed off right now. How in the world could you make that big of a screw-up Woot??? Very disappointed. You should make this right even if it costs you. This is no way to run a business and I agree it's a bait and switch. Sell me one thing and ship me another...really??

j5 wrote:What does Nabi have to do with all this? Why would their reputation be in jeopardy?

Agree! This is in no way Nabi's fault and does not reflect poorly on them. This is clearly a Woot issue and indeed reflects poorly on Woot.

Why havent we heard anything yet? Not one reply to this horribly wrong way to run a business.

Come on Woot, tell us you are in talks with your parent company and sending us what we bought.

tomspc wrote:Agree! This is in no way Nabi's fault and does not reflect poorly on them. This is clearly a Woot issue and indeed reflects poorly on Woot.

No, it's not Nabi's fault, nor should it reflect poorly upon them. That said, it would be a huge PR boost if they honor the price. Besides, there are a lot of accessories to be bought!

Someone is walking to the warehouse (assuming these are warehoused and not drop shipped from some supplier) to open a box and verify what's in it.
(I'm only partially joking)

They are probably all working hard getting them shipped out so they can say oh sorry they are already shipped lol

Wow I understand your anger folks but, as a long time wooter I am sure they will make this right just like the HP tablet debacle. It is not even standard office hours in Texas, calm down and have a little faith in a company that has pretty excellent customer service and a huge community base to back it.

Actually Woot's office hours are 8:00 am - 5:00 pm according to their automated email responses. It is 8:43 in Texas right now.

Has anybody called and spoke to somebody yet? I'm going to call in a few min. and will post back what they said.

I have tried to call as well. Don't worry, they won't answer anyway.

I just received a response to an inquiry I made way back when I first ordered. The response was the party line "We're shipping them and too bad for you." (paraphrased, of course.). They are there.

Oh lovely, mine is in transit already. This has to be the fastest shipping Woot! has ever done.

I would say they are going with the, if we ignore them they will go away response.

Do they think its any better for them to just ignore us, atleast give us a message saying they are working on canceling them or working on replacing them with the 2's

Mine has not been fulfilled as of yet, don't bother putting it on the truck if it isn't two nabi2's Woot!

Unbelievable that this would be posted knowing it is a LIE! Everyone should get their money refunded immediately for this major screw up! If they do not let you cancel, dispute the charge with your credit card company!

The two I ordered already shipped. I also got a response to an email I sent with a link to print a return label. This is simply terrible customer service.

I think since this is your first day here, with only one woot and all, you'll come to realize Woot has an amazing customer service reputation. We can all assume that they are working hard to fix this situation. Just hang on a little bit longer, they have never ignored any situation, especially one as serious as this.

Now I'm even more confused. This is from an email that Woot just sent to me:
Hey happycorie22,

Remember your order of one NABI2 7" Touchscreen Android Tablet for Kids-NABI2NV7A- (New) from Kids.Woot on Monday, November 26, 2012?

We did, and that order is now on its way to ...

So, if it's the 1st gen Nabi, why are they still calling it the Nabi2?

just got my email stating that the NABI2 has shipped. Great!! Way to fix your mess. Just ship them out and screw over your customers.....

I was referring to some of the post where people were so frustrated that they decided to find other products to meet their Christmas needs. I understand that Nabi has nothing to do with this error, but people responded very emotionally to this, and are looking to be upset at all entities involved.
