I just went through my "second chance" 2023 box (ordered Jan. 26, 2024), and I'm delighted with what I got. I got a few things I likely will never use, but I got several other items that will be useful, including Pi cases (I have an RPi 2B that's busily working as a firewall that could really use a case), a nice pair of wirecutters, a "dev kit" that although I wouldn't have ordered it I can still use at least some of the functionality, and, of course, yet more LEDs! Of course there are a few items that are clearly "engineering samples" for items that never made it into SF's storefront but are potentially useful -- indeed, one item when I looked it up on the manufacturer's web site must be a "pre-production sample" as they list it as "coming soon". I even got one item that I'd bought one of back in 2018 for a demo that I gave back then.<p>Possibly the best part this time was that I was able to include some other stuff and get "free shipping"!</p></p>

And between work schedule or other conflicts could be sitting here waiting. But today was my day I set my alarm several times down to the minute, refreshed my page and 2:00pm came around my time and ..... nothing. I'm checking pages, refreshing etc etc etc, only to find out that with all the googling of time zone and alarms and everything... IT was actually 1:00pm my time... Google used mst instead of mdt... honestly I'm boiling, tomorrow is my bday and thought I'd gift myself... Not sparkfuns fault, but very upsetting none the less..</p>

Can anyone confirm I will actually receive one, and not be effectively scammed and miss out on it? I really don't want a refund either, I want my Dumpster Dive box!!</p>

This is not good.</p>

Finally got my Dumpster Dive!<p>I hope it arrives in undamaged condition. I'm really looking forward to that 'One Pound of Awesome' and I can really use that 'Mystery and Intrigue' too!</p><p>Thanks SparkFun for taking the time and trouble to make these available. Should be fun.</p></p>
