For the last couple of years Woot has not been shipping knives to NY.  Or, at least, most of NY.
I've even posted about it and once, goodorbit even bought one and shipped it to me.
Every time they put knives up, I attempt to buy them, get denied, and I send them an email asking why.
I've never heard back.
Especially since Woot is part of Amazon, and Amazon ships everywhere except NYC.

Not sure if it is just a glitch, or some policy change, but today, an order went through for a Kershaw.

Hopefully, this is not a glitch, since they often have good deals on Kershaw.

For years they delivered. Then one day about 4 years ago, they stopped shipping to a bunch of NY zip codes. No rhyme or reason to the list.

I like woot in general, so I hope it wasn't just a fluke the order went through.

In any event, Kershaw us a decent knife, and speedsafe is awesome.
