That’s odd. Probably has to do with sales tax as New Hampshire, Oregon and Delaware along with Alaska and Montana do not have a state-wide sales tax
This is my first time ordering anything from woot.com - also did not know that they are owned by Amazon so I guess that it’s sold and shipped by Amazon and brand new - for some reason I have always associated Woot as specializing in refurbished or used products - some of the first comments on this thread mentioned that as well
I can understand them putting a shipping restriction on the 5 states that do not collect sales tax, as Apple has done in the past:
No Walk-in iPhone 6s Sales at Apple Stores in 4 U.S. States, China, Japan, and Hong Kong
While Apple has ended launch-day pre-orders and in-store reservations for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the company is suggesting that those customers...

However, with there being a unit restriction of one per customer implemented on this promotion, presumably to thwart resellers, I don’t see how that would be an issue
Hopefully the New Hampshire restriction is not an entire site-based restriction as I also ship a lot of my stuff to my New Hampshire UPS mailbox because I live in the Boston area and visit Conway, NH frequently in the summer
Hopefully Woot or Amazon does this sale again as I’d like to be able to get a pair of these as a gift for my dad for Christmas
I read that Target is selling it for $200 over black friday so if you were not able to get your AirPods Pro here then that’s definitely another avenue for you as well - good luck and have a nice Thanksgiving with your family!

For the uninitiated, “Brand new condition” means “affiliate partner”.
Got these on launch day and have to say, they’ve been fantastic. I’ve enjoyed them every day since. The ANC is wonderful. Stays in my ears well.
Someone mentioned the blueberry odor, and yes, that is true. It took about two weeks for it to dissipate. I didn’t trust that it’s non-toxic so each time I took them off those two weeks, I would wipe my ears. And left them in another room overnight.
But that was the only issue I had. I’d still buy them again, 10/10.

This is the only product I've ever purchased with this smell.
It's widely reported. Whether you care or not I guess depends on how much you care about your health.
Just googling it it autosuggests airpods pro nail polish smell immediately.
Here were the top few links:
AirPods Pro have a strange smell on its s… - Apple Community
Smell and tasting my AirPods Pro? - Apple Community
There's a problem with them.
Maybe it's low quality materials with impurities. I don't know.
But when I smell something that smells like toxic chemicals, it goes back. They really shouldn't use such shoddy materials. Even John Gruber who is usually defending Apple recently complained about Apple using lower quality plastics on their keyboards compared to other laptop manufacturers.
