@unixrab & @Thumperchick I love you guys...really. I just don't want to be bullied by someone telling me to do as they say not as they do. I don't want to break any rules and would welcome a link to any rules so that I can comply. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
@Kyser_Soze seems like an awfully broad use of "bullied" - but to each their own, I guess. @unixrab was poking fun at me for being annoyed by his use of this space to complain about the deal every day, rather than for the posted intended use of price comparison. It's not a hard and fast rule, more like a suggestion. I figure if he wants to post his opinion every day up here, he can take a bit of heckling for it. Welcome to the forums, we're generally nice. :D
@Kyser_Soze there's no rule ... @thumperchick just frowns upon it, with great frowniness & ire. I'll probably still post in the upper deck if it's important enough to raise her hackles.
@unixrab You know what's great? There used to be a blurb asking for price comparisons in this spot. I just noticed it's gone. So yeah, it really is just me getting my dander up over silliness. Moreso now that I know the suggestion is gone.
@c0ldfuse Smart; I'll do the same. I dream of the day when I can pummel Meh's Dastardly Singing Cowboy with refurbished pillows. Are you in? Think of all the farm animals we can save from having lingerie put on them; a noble cause indeed.
@Kerig3 Yes and also because of how slow shipping is… hey meh - you do realize that someone's roaster only arrived last night. They nearly didn't have a way to cook their Thanksgiving turkey today. @snapster Please factor shipping time, plus christmas shipping delays, into what you offer when with stuff likely to be used as holiday gifts, used at a holiday (yeah I know you will tell us that bargain christmas tree offered Dec 25th is a year in advance so should get there in time… - that is NOT what I mean LOL)
My mom did just make these bizarre pillow loungers for my kids (think four pillow cases sown together and used as a resting pad), so I guess this is perfect timing.
@tightwad ... Been using buckwheat for decades (working on my 4th pillow) and luckilly I've never experienced funk, although the BW eventually breaks down (like pecan shells do) but only after a couple years. Sorry to hear about your misfortunes with these type pillows. I could never find any firm enough for my head until the BW came along (I never could handle that 'sinking' feeling)..
@elpepe I should maybe go to sleep, because I read this and envisioned a pillow case like a guitar case, with a handle on the side. Then I tried to figure out why you'd need a case for your pillow. And I had really high SAT scores, too.
Oh great, not even a whole after my VMP ran out, you guys reminded post something I needed so I had to renew. Between the new comforter and the new pillows, my guests will be nodding off in style. Now, I just need friends to invite over ;_;
These pillows are perfect sized. I never understood king sized pillows, and I don't understand you people who desire them. Why, so they fit across your king sized bed nicely? What does that have to do with sleeping? Is your head so large that it falls off the edge of a normal sized pillow? Do you only have king sized pillow cases and refuse to buy smaller ones? Or maybe you are a pigmie and use them as body pillows. I don't know. King sized pillows hang out of the end of my pillow cases. They fold too easily in the middle. They don't stack correctly. I'm upset now. You people who say "wish they were king sized" genuinely upset me. These pillows are perfect... but alas, no pagination. And for that alone, meh.
@phatmass Side sleeper here. I like them. I turn my king size pillows lengthwise and throw my knee over one end and sorta cuddle the other. My husband says I'm all arms & legs & hair and "sleep like the Heisman Trophy."
Ah, "jumbo" - a word coined by P.T. Barnum with a vague meaning, but originally the connotation was "very large". Unfortunately, in this case (like pillow case, get it?), the meaning must have been updated to be "a little smaller than 'standard'", or "half as big as 'king'".
Wikipedia says about pillow size, "Size conforms to the pillow the case is to contain. They are typically described as: Standard: (square) 16 in × 16 in (41 cm × 41 cm) Square: 26 in × 26 in (66 cm × 66 cm) Standard: 20 in × 26 in (51 cm × 66 cm) Queen: 20 in × 30 in (51 cm × 76 cm) King: 20 in × 36 in (51 cm × 91 cm)"
@texquill I almost bought, then did the same research, then thought I was going crazy cause jumbo must mean somewhere between king and body, right? Confirm my suspicions, you did.
@BelyndaG I also wear different shirts throughout the day, so a one-a-day count isn't automatic. It's been cooler at night and mornings here recently, so I'll double up or more. When I get home, I'll change into a Ramy shirt and spend some time with my doggie; after the cat/turtle/penguin/squirrel/whatever gets drooled/licked/slobbered on, I'll change again, which depending on my mood, may be a different shirt than what I was wearing earlier. If I end up cooking/eating something messy for dinner, I'll wear something more expendable and then change afterwards again.
@Kidsandliz Ha, but no. The front-loading Boschs are over 9 years old now. The ones I only wore for a couple hours or so typically get reworn before a wash. About the only ones that automatically go into a hamper are the Ramy shirts; they all have varying magnitudes of drool and slobber, so they're washed separately in hot water and dryer dried. The others get grouped as care/darks (cold/line dry), care/lights (cold/line dry), and doesn't-matter (warm/dryer).
I use one pillow unless I'm sitting up watching tv or reading. Than I use two. In the meantime, my gf has 5 pillows on her side. Any more pillows and she would literally be able to build a fort around her. Probably good for relationship longevity. I might have to reconsider purchasing...
@ronm1 Go to your order page: https://meh.com/orders Once shipped there should be a clickable tracking number. As most items ship via Smart Post, try FedEx first. Your order is than handed off to the USPS for final delivery.
Show me the most creative thing you can do with four pillows and include some kinda handwritten meh note so I know it's legit. If you're just gonna do a fort it better be extra cool.
You also must pinky-swear to post a how-to after you win.
@JonT All I can think of is a cat/pillow club sandwich sculpture. Unfortunately Loki, Cthulu, and James won't sit still long enough to snap a photo. Completely unrelated, I could now use 4 rolls of gauze the size of pillows.
@JonT Sorry no photo but we did use a number of them (as kids - that is why no photo) in a pillow fight - AFTER my cousin knocked the tar off the cabin roof (tarring the metal to keep it from leaking), it landed upside down on the front stoop and so we had a pillow fight, feathered the tar and then the aunts nearly tarred the lot of us for making such an ungodly mess, wrecking pillows and making it tricky to get in and out of the cabin.
Giveaway update: since apparently nobody has pillows with them at work (psssshhhh....step up your pillow game, people), you can just pitch me your best pillow idea or do some sort of crude MS Paint drawing.
@JonT Dang. I leave work at 3:30 EST so I didn't see this. It's a hospital, there are lots of pillows! And other cool medical thingies! It could have gotten pretty weird. Ah well, next time!
@JonT So here's what's funny. I'll admit to being curious if I won anything but also really was just generally wondering if this had gone anywhere. I get home, and pillows are sitting at my door :)
@JonT Thank you though. Seriously. I can always use pillows and that was a cool, silly contest and these will get used. I'm donating them to a group that recently posted a need for pillows.
Just got home from work so didn't have much time to try to put something together before the cutoff. Here you go. Bonus - you can play spot the Woot/Meh items in the pic.
First day I see meh.com and it's something I want and need at an affordable price. I miss woot! so much, meh makes me so happy. Can I have a job at meh? I do arty shit and I'm a good secretary. Why didn't I go to school for programming?
@cesarifico Stuff I've ordered since then has been shipped. I think these may be getting drop shipped like first set of blankets were. So the other place is kinda slow or not giving back tracking numbers.
@mylissia My tracking number was for somebody in Arizona (delivered Saturday morning: "Left at front door. Signature Service not requested.") but i got mine today.
It seems that we may have gotten some incorrect shipping numbers which are showing orders going to different places than they should be. I can assure you that all orders were indeed shipped correctly to the addresses provided to us. We are working on getting the correct shipping information uploaded to the site ASAP.
@MEHcus So I still don't have updated shipping information and still haven't gotten my order. My building sometimes has an issue with deliveries because UPS/Fedex don't have keys to the building and can't/won't always deliver. Can I have updated tracking info so I can find out where the heck these are?
@JonT@jebalke based on his/her tracking data, I think jebalke already got the info (s)he needed. FedEx is holding it at one of their hubs at their request. (Edit: my pronouns are all over the place)
Got mine yesterday. And got them into the bed last night. Girlfriend didn't think they were fluffy enough, but I like them. The fabric seemed nice too.
I got mine yesterday. They were so compressed! It comes with a slip that says to not use it till after 48 hours so they can re-fluff so I'm going to wait the full 48.
These are the FLUFFIEST PILLOWS EVER. My husband and I are two-three pillow people and we prepared these pillows, two each...by the time we were ready for bed, we only used one and it was almost too much. Best deal ever.
@creativexangst Got mine a few days ago and have been holding off on using them due to laziness. You made me excited enough to want to try them tonight.
My wife and I like the pillows. We allowed them to decompress for 48 hours as per the instructions. They are nice and fluffy now. They are great pillows, and we tend to be sort of picky about pillows.
Has anyone else not received their pillows yet? I haven't received mine, the tracking number on my order is bogus, and an email I sent to meh customer service three days ago has gone unanswered (except for a canned "we're not here now" response). wth
The crack Mediocre Industries support team finally emailed me back after my third email. Unfortunately, they said my order had been delivered according to the tracking. But the tracking number they cited was for the Snap charging cables Meh sent their VMP members. I'd think they would've noticed the package was only 0.1lbs and 6" x 2". Those would be some tiny pillows!
@emseearr Looks like there was an issue with the vendor. We're working on it right now. Sorry about the canned response (and the mistaken response). We have a very small CS team (being a startup and all), and they don't work on the weekends. They're answering emails from the weekend now.
@hart I appreciate that, but the first email I sent was last Tuesday, and that went unanswered as well. I received a canned automated response immediately when I sent it, and heard nothing after that until I prodded two more times.
@emseearr Wow, that sucks. Sorry :/. I wish we had a better excuse than "we're a tiny startup team and we get hundreds of emails a day", but we really don't. We'll keep looking into it and see what we can do. At the very least, I can promise you that we'll figure this out and take care of you. We always do.
@ledieudufromage Meh emailed me back Xmas eve. They can't seem to get it sorted with the vendor, so they refunded me. I'll have to find my fluffy pillows elsewhere :(
I've received mine, but they arrived in a shipping bag that had fallen open in the back. Pillows don't seem any the worse for it, but I wondered whether the tape or adhesive that Meh used to seal the packages had a problem or two.
Have not yet received mine either. Tracking number indicates no updates since 12/8. Fedex claims to have sent the package back to Meh. Customer service has stopped responding to me. Getting close to filing a dispute with my CC.
@tas246 Just checked on this for you. According to your tracking, it's still inbound to you. Looks like it stalled at a FedEx Ground hub, which happens sometimes around this time of year. I called FedEx and they said it's not coming back to us. You should see updated movement in the next few days.

@mediocrebot eh wtf!?
@unixrab Ahem... I believe you meant to post this down in the lower decks...
@Kyser_Soze I KNOW!! This was waaaaay before! ;-)
@Kyser_Soze It's so weird to see such a strong thread necromancer in the forums.
@unixrab & @Thumperchick I love you guys...really. I just don't want to be bullied by someone telling me to do as they say not as they do. I don't want to break any rules and would welcome a link to any rules so that I can comply. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

@Thumperchick
Eh, Meh
THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!
@DaveInSoCal only appropriate reference
@DaveInSoCal
Yes, that movie.
meh
DIRTY PILLOWS!!! risky-regal-pig
Would love to compare or test them
owlish-forthright-chair
If you knew how dirty my existing pillows were, you'd thank me for buying these!
@grobbins Thank you.
@pitamuffin No, thank you.
I do need some pillows...
I'll wait for the refurbished to come around at half the price.
@c0ldfuse Smart; I'll do the same. I dream of the day when I can pummel Meh's Dastardly Singing Cowboy with refurbished pillows. Are you in? Think of all the farm animals we can save from having lingerie put on them; a noble cause indeed.
Dear Meh. Now is the time to offer Xmas-gifty types of mediocrity over items of mass mediocrity.
@Kerig3 Yes and also because of how slow shipping is… hey meh - you do realize that someone's roaster only arrived last night. They nearly didn't have a way to cook their Thanksgiving turkey today. @snapster Please factor shipping time, plus christmas shipping delays, into what you offer when with stuff likely to be used as holiday gifts, used at a holiday (yeah I know you will tell us that bargain christmas tree offered Dec 25th is a year in advance so should get there in time… - that is NOT what I mean LOL)
My mom did just make these bizarre pillow loungers for my kids (think four pillow cases sown together and used as a resting pad), so I guess this is perfect timing.
@isNoOp resting pad? Is it like a pillow-filled rug/blanket?? That sounds kinda awesome!
@JonT
@katylava As awesome as I expected. I want a giant one that's like 8 pillows high by 4 pillows long.
wait, is that just a bed? Do I just want a bed?
@JonT i want a goat prize and a legitimate fukubukuro, but we cant always get what we want...haha. :)
@isNoOp Those are brilliant! I may be rethinking my position on the purchase of pillows.
@studerc Wait, is there a goat prize? I thought we accepted blame just for the fun of it. I'm having a blast.
@JonT I think what you actually want is a human sized dog bed. That's what these look like to me.
@cengland0 - Then I guess we're not doing it right. Your fault!
@isNoOp This is EXACTLY why I was contemplating getting these! That and for guests... But mostly for this because I saw it on Pinterest.
Pretentious missing verse.
@cleverogre Alice & the Jabberwocky?
Anyone have pillows with the piping? Seems like that would end up making a trench across your cheek eventually.
@katbyter pillow case should fix that
@katbyter as long as you sleep on the flat side & not the edge, you should be fine
@katbyter I have some. The piping is not an issue. The down feathers poking through and sticking you in the eye however...
@Headly no feathers in these - just fake feathers!
Selfie! Pillow fight?
movable-odd-liquid
Those look nice, but I don't have $28. Meh. :/
Too small. I need me some king size jumbo pillows.
They may be "jumbo" but I wish they were king size rather than standard size.
@jaynicholas Just glue two of them end-to-end
@Moose brilliant!
Don't be fooled. There are speaker docks in those.
Nada! I only rest my goard on buckwheat.. Meh to the pellets.
@unkabob I tried Buckwheat...it got a real funky smell after awhile
@tightwad ... Been using buckwheat for decades (working on my 4th pillow) and luckilly I've never experienced funk, although the BW eventually breaks down (like pecan shells do) but only after a couple years. Sorry to hear about your misfortunes with these type pillows. I could never find any firm enough for my head until the BW came along (I never could handle that 'sinking' feeling)..
I need a good pillow but not 4.
Forget the pillows. I keep replaying the "fluffy pillow" video
Polyfill, YUCK, I prefer a dozen ducks sacrifice their life for my comfort.
@Anonymouss Ikr!?
@Anonymouss You don't know luxury until you've rested yourself on pillows filled with baby penguin down. BEST>.SLEEP. EVER.
@RedHot Protip: Use the WHOLE baby penguin! It gets softer as you use it.
@RedHot Can't you just shear the duck like a sheep?
Pathetic-fabulous-cookie! And the kitty gets the old ones (unless, of course, he objects...in which case I get the old ones).
I would be so in for these if they came with cases.
But the buy button is really a chore button to find four pillow cases.
@elpepe I should maybe go to sleep, because I read this and envisioned a pillow case like a guitar case, with a handle on the side. Then I tried to figure out why you'd need a case for your pillow. And I had really high SAT scores, too.
@gertiestn been drinking much out of the fuku flask?
@Kidsandliz Naw, but my chicken timer keeps going off and telling me it's allll done.
Ironically I stayed up and didn’t get sleep to Meh pillows. Alas, my Sauce is getting cold and my Noodles are starting to stick…
If I needed pillows and wasn't a poor graduate student I'd be all over those.
Do they bend?
@Opemiyaku blend* ;)
Oh great, not even a whole after my VMP ran out, you guys reminded post something I needed so I had to renew. Between the new comforter and the new pillows, my guests will be nodding off in style. Now, I just need friends to invite over ;_;
@antsam999 Check woot. I'm sure they have friends for sale as one of their 23,000 items today.
There's an entire THREAD about these PILLOWS?
:D
@Chops I'm glad there aren't 350
@Chops I knew I could COUNT on someone to make a bad pillow joke.
@Chops If that's the CASE then I am not surprised
@tightwad I am not DOWN with these jokes.
@Chops Pillow pun.
@SSteve Perhaps you are just getting SOFT in your old age
@SSteve Do you have an ALTERNATIVE?
@tightwad It's lunch time, so he's probably STUFFING his face at the moment.
These pillows are perfect sized. I never understood king sized pillows, and I don't understand you people who desire them. Why, so they fit across your king sized bed nicely?

I'm upset now. You people who say "wish they were king sized" genuinely upset me. These pillows are perfect... but alas, no pagination. And for that alone, meh.
@phatmass I prefer regular-sized pillows too. I would buy these if I had the money, they look nice and we could use more pillows, but alas, I'm broke.
@phatmass Side sleeper here. I like them. I turn my king size pillows lengthwise and throw my knee over one end and sorta cuddle the other. My husband says I'm all arms & legs & hair and "sleep like the Heisman Trophy."
@LaVikinga That's a really good description and I can totally picture that.
@phatmass I have a king sized head...
@phatmass I think you just wrote Irk's next rant.
@phatmass They are listed as being: Pillow dimensions: 18 x 26 x 2 in. 2 Inches is pretty thin for a pillow...
meh I use buckwheat filled pillows sell me some more or I will meh a third time
@sp3ar I meh EVERYTIME! I also occasionally buy something.
Will these work on high in the microwave?
Finally my ducks have somewhere to sleep!
Ah, "jumbo" - a word coined by P.T. Barnum with a vague meaning, but originally the connotation was "very large". Unfortunately, in this case (like pillow case, get it?), the meaning must have been updated to be "a little smaller than 'standard'", or "half as big as 'king'".
Wikipedia says about pillow size, "Size conforms to the pillow the case is to contain. They are typically described as:
Standard: (square) 16 in × 16 in (41 cm × 41 cm)
Square: 26 in × 26 in (66 cm × 66 cm)
Standard: 20 in × 26 in (51 cm × 66 cm)
Queen: 20 in × 30 in (51 cm × 76 cm)
King: 20 in × 36 in (51 cm × 91 cm)"
MEH
@texquill I came here to say much the same.
@texquill I almost bought, then did the same research, then thought I was going crazy cause jumbo must mean somewhere between king and body, right? Confirm my suspicions, you did.
@texquill
When did "down alternative" become a commonplace term anyway? Are manufacturers that afraid to call their items what they are anymore?
(Not that I'm in for any; I'm used to firmness, so my "pillow" is a pile of shirts.)
@narfcake I had been wondering what you do with all those shirts.
@BelyndaG I also wear different shirts throughout the day, so a one-a-day count isn't automatic. It's been cooler at night and mornings here recently, so I'll double up or more. When I get home, I'll change into a Ramy shirt and spend some time with my doggie; after the cat/turtle/penguin/squirrel/whatever gets drooled/licked/slobbered on, I'll change again, which depending on my mood, may be a different shirt than what I was wearing earlier. If I end up cooking/eating something messy for dinner, I'll wear something more expendable and then change afterwards again.
@narfcake Son? Is that you?
@narfcake and do you have to replace your washing machine once a year… that is more clothes changing than my teenaged daughter!
@Kidsandliz Ha, but no. The front-loading Boschs are over 9 years old now. The ones I only wore for a couple hours or so typically get reworn before a wash. About the only ones that automatically go into a hamper are the Ramy shirts; they all have varying magnitudes of drool and slobber, so they're washed separately in hot water and dryer dried. The others get grouped as care/darks (cold/line dry), care/lights (cold/line dry), and doesn't-matter (warm/dryer).
I think my head will be really high sleeping on 4 pillows, but i didn't have the option of buying 1.
According to Wayfair:
Country of Manufacture: China
No thank you, for pillows. Electronics, fine, but not pillows.
@usedtowoot Why not? I assume you wear jeans...they make all of those too
@tightwad Not all. I buy my jeans from texasjeans.com - made in the USA. :)
@usedtowoot chinafluffs? No thanks.
Now that I've had a chance to sleep on it, curly-fanciful-argument.
@pitamuffin how did you sleep on it? they haven't even shipped out yet...
I use one pillow unless I'm sitting up watching tv or reading. Than I use two. In the meantime, my gf has 5 pillows on her side. Any more pillows and she would literally be able to build a fort around her. Probably good for relationship longevity. I might have to reconsider purchasing...
@Cinoclav Pillow's between you is NOT good for relationship longevity...
@tightwad I'm going to assume you haven't been in a relationship as long as I have. ;)
@Cinoclav 18 years but you may still have me beat...
@tightwad Yup. (I have my regrets...)
Are these really only two inches thick? That sounds odd.
@ardgedee they are definitely thicker than that at the middle of the pillow. I think 2" is referring to the dimension at the outermost edge.
@ardgedee @hales It's all about the girth.
@Cinoclav ಠ_ಠ
@harrison ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Can't try? Won't buy. Meh.
Those look more like sofa cushions.
how do you check delivery status ? Like watching grass grow till goods get here
@ronm1 Go to your order page: https://meh.com/orders Once shipped there should be a clickable tracking number. As most items ship via Smart Post, try FedEx first. Your order is than handed off to the USPS for final delivery.
@Cinoclav and misdelivered to the neighbors or returned to sender. Thanks USPS.
Hope these aren't the refurbished model living up to my order name: parasitic-fine-lice. Color me a bit disturbed.
@jjohns71 I'm constantly astonished at whatever algorithm is used to provide the order phrases which coincide with the product.
@jjohns71 Yep, bad randomness there.
@jjohns71 C'mon! It's fine lice at least.
@jjohns71 I am more disturbed at the thought of non-parasitic lice. Like a pet?
Is thread count really relevant when it comes to pillows? I mean, you put them in pillowcases anyway, right?
Wait, 4-for-Wednesday, wha? Guys, this doesn't rhyme at all.
I'm in for 2 (that would be 8). My wife has been on me to replace all the pillows in the house for a few weeks. Thanks meh!
@alacrity
@JonT @alacrity
Sweet, clean pillows on the cheap.
This is only the second time that someone in Nevada County who isn't me bought something. I'm curious to know who it is.
I FEEL LIKE DOING A GIVEAWAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!
Show me the most creative thing you can do with four pillows and include some kinda handwritten meh note so I know it's legit. If you're just gonna do a fort it better be extra cool.
You also must pinky-swear to post a how-to after you win.
GO!
@JonT Nope, I'm not entering your contest. I'm just going to fluff up my four pillows and take a nap. Good luck to everyone else!
@JonT Oprah gives away cars as her prizes. I assume that is what you are doing too?
@barnabee The prize will be 4 pillows delivered by something with 4 wheels, so that's pretty much a car.
@JonT I'd enter my photo but I can't reveal the secrets of cloning technology
@JonT So the current baseline is "sew them to each other as sort of a dog bed for humans" I guess.
@JonT All I can think of is a cat/pillow club sandwich sculpture. Unfortunately Loki, Cthulu, and James won't sit still long enough to snap a photo. Completely unrelated, I could now use 4 rolls of gauze the size of pillows.
@JonT Sorry no photo but we did use a number of them (as kids - that is why no photo) in a pillow fight - AFTER my cousin knocked the tar off the cabin roof (tarring the metal to keep it from leaking), it landed upside down on the front stoop and so we had a pillow fight, feathered the tar and then the aunts nearly tarred the lot of us for making such an ungodly mess, wrecking pillows and making it tricky to get in and out of the cabin.
Does anyone know if "down alternative" really feels like feather pillows when you're sleeping on them?
@pooflady down alternative aka polyester flller.
Oh meh... Please keep on with this "selling what I've been needing day after day after day" thing. =]
Giveaway update: since apparently nobody has pillows with them at work (psssshhhh....step up your pillow game, people), you can just pitch me your best pillow idea or do some sort of crude MS Paint drawing.
You have until 4:00pm Eastern, so...one hour.
@JonT I'll make a dog bed for dogs:
(this was right-side up on my computer...damn you TinyPic)
@JonT To meh to MS Paint, so here's a horrible sketch instead:
@JonT Well, damn. Dat contest too short. I could have done something, but I didn't see it in time. Hmph. :p
@JonT Dang. I leave work at 3:30 EST so I didn't see this. It's a hospital, there are lots of pillows! And other cool medical thingies! It could have gotten pretty weird. Ah well, next time!
@JonT So anything ever come of our horrible pillow pic contest submissions?
@Bingo Your prize is on the way :)
@Bingo @JonT and the check is in the mail!
@JonT So here's what's funny. I'll admit to being curious if I won anything but also really was just generally wondering if this had gone anywhere. I get home, and pillows are sitting at my door :)
@JonT Even better though, was the packaging. Hope there was nothing else that was supposed to be in there.
@JonT Thank you though. Seriously. I can always use pillows and that was a cool, silly contest and these will get used. I'm donating them to a group that recently posted a need for pillows.
@Thumperchick Hey now, no funny business. Leave that to the shipping label for my pillows. Check the dept and ref # :P
@Bingo You're welcome! Yeah that packaging job was a silly necessity. Full credit to @hart for that reference.
Just got home from work so didn't have much time to try to put something together before the cutoff. Here you go. Bonus - you can play spot the Woot/Meh items in the pic.
First day I see meh.com and it's something I want and need at an affordable price. I miss woot! so much, meh makes me so happy. Can I have a job at meh? I do arty shit and I'm a good secretary. Why didn't I go to school for programming?
@HELLOALICE Hello Alice. Welcome aboard.
@HELLOALICE Here's the jobs page: https://mediocre.secure.force.com/?page=JobListPage&JobSite=default&p=Candidate&sessionId= You can also check them out on LinkedIn. Welcome to Meh, and enjoy your stay!
@HELLOALICE hello Alice!
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
@jrwofuga Lifehack
@jrwofuga If the pillows came in Georgia Red, you'd buy them?
I love purple.
@jrwofuga Where's Dad? @srwofuga hasn't made an appearance today!
@Lera you wouldn't?
@dashcloud we are not related.
@harrison no.
@jrwofuga welllllll... how close is Georgia Red to USC Trojan Crimson?
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
Remember the FUKU #2 second shipment, @lichme got a pillow with some stuffing taken out. The pillow looks a little different though.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/fuku-2-second-shipments
I bet the down alternative is the same kind of filling though.
I may regret this but soon I shall have fierce-airy-prose to go with my lyrical-enticing-operation
If i count less than 350 threads there's going to be hell to pay
Has anybody received their pillows? I see that my order is "placed" but hasn't shipped.
@cesarifico Mine hasn't shipped yet either
@cesarifico Stuff I've ordered since then has been shipped. I think these may be getting drop shipped like first set of blankets were. So the other place is kinda slow or not giving back tracking numbers.
@cesarifico Thanks guys. It looks like this Christmas pillow fight may be in jeopardy.
I signed up for the free shipping deal. I might just cancel that and the pillows at this point if they don't ship. What a rip.
@cesarifico @noel @ram434 @orndog
Hey y'all,
These have shipped but it'll take another day or two for tracking to show up on your https://meh.com/orders pages.
Sorry about the delay.
@JonT Got them the very next day. Thanks for letting me know.
@cesarifico Sure thing! Hope they're comfy and/or you made a kickass fort.
Has anybody gotten theirs yet? Mine were apparently delivered to some lucky soul in Shallowater, Texas, almost 700 miles away.....
@mylissia Got mine today.
@mylissia My tracking number was for somebody in Arizona (delivered Saturday morning: "Left at front door. Signature Service not requested.") but i got mine today.
@mylissia The Shallowater pillows went to Mission Viejo CA. It was a mixup in FedEx tracking numbers. All will get there sometime.
Mine arrived today as well.
Hey guys, quick update here.
It seems that we may have gotten some incorrect shipping numbers which are showing orders going to different places than they should be. I can assure you that all orders were indeed shipped correctly to the addresses provided to us. We are working on getting the correct shipping information uploaded to the site ASAP.
@MEHcus You mean it's not some kind of creepy Secret Santa?
@MEHcus Glad I found this. Was sad thinking my pillows were in Brooklyn, not South Carolina
@nadroj sounds like a pretty great experiment. If only there was some company out there that could facilitate something like that.....
@MEHcus So I still don't have updated shipping information and still haven't gotten my order. My building sometimes has an issue with deliveries because UPS/Fedex don't have keys to the building and can't/won't always deliver. Can I have updated tracking info so I can find out where the heck these are?
@jebalke I'll make sure we check on this as soon as we can.
@JonT @jebalke based on his/her tracking data, I think jebalke already got the info (s)he needed. FedEx is holding it at one of their hubs at their request. (Edit: my pronouns are all over the place)
Got mine yesterday. And got them into the bed last night. Girlfriend didn't think they were fluffy enough, but I like them. The fabric seemed nice too.
I got mine yesterday. They were so compressed!
It comes with a slip that says to not use it till after 48 hours so they can re-fluff so I'm going to wait the full 48.
These are the FLUFFIEST PILLOWS EVER. My husband and I are two-three pillow people and we prepared these pillows, two each...by the time we were ready for bed, we only used one and it was almost too much. Best deal ever.
@creativexangst Got mine a few days ago and have been holding off on using them due to laziness. You made me excited enough to want to try them tonight.
@JonT DO IT! It was one of the best nights sleep I've had in a long time. Now we want a whole new bed to match these pillows haha
My wife and I like the pillows. We allowed them to decompress for 48 hours as per the instructions. They are nice and fluffy now. They are great pillows, and we tend to be sort of picky about pillows.
@purfikt just used ours tonight too and they're great! Really fluffy and comfy.
Has anyone else not received their pillows yet? I haven't received mine, the tracking number on my order is bogus, and an email I sent to meh customer service three days ago has gone unanswered (except for a canned "we're not here now" response). wth
The crack Mediocre Industries support team finally emailed me back after my third email. Unfortunately, they said my order had been delivered according to the tracking. But the tracking number they cited was for the Snap charging cables Meh sent their VMP members. I'd think they would've noticed the package was only 0.1lbs and 6" x 2". Those would be some tiny pillows!
@emseearr Looks like there was an issue with the vendor. We're working on it right now. Sorry about the canned response (and the mistaken response). We have a very small CS team (being a startup and all), and they don't work on the weekends. They're answering emails from the weekend now.
@hart I appreciate that, but the first email I sent was last Tuesday, and that went unanswered as well. I received a canned automated response immediately when I sent it, and heard nothing after that until I prodded two more times.
@emseearr Wow, that sucks. Sorry :/. I wish we had a better excuse than "we're a tiny startup team and we get hundreds of emails a day", but we really don't. We'll keep looking into it and see what we can do. At the very least, I can promise you that we'll figure this out and take care of you. We always do.
@hart Yeah, no hate on meh, I like the site and appreciate what you're doing. I just want my damn fluffy pillows.
@emseearr Agreed, no hate on Meh, but I would really like my pillows...
@ledieudufromage Meh emailed me back Xmas eve. They can't seem to get it sorted with the vendor, so they refunded me. I'll have to find my fluffy pillows elsewhere :(
@emseearr They haven't refunded me or responded to my emails in over a week...
I've received mine, but they arrived in a shipping bag that had fallen open in the back. Pillows don't seem any the worse for it, but I wondered whether the tape or adhesive that Meh used to seal the packages had a problem or two.
@gertiestn When did you receive yours?
@emseearr I thought it had been a while & checked. The broken bag of pillows arrived here in DC on 12/9.
Have not yet received mine either. Tracking number indicates no updates since 12/8. Fedex claims to have sent the package back to Meh. Customer service has stopped responding to me. Getting close to filing a dispute with my CC.
@tas246 Just checked on this for you. According to your tracking, it's still inbound to you. Looks like it stalled at a FedEx Ground hub, which happens sometimes around this time of year. I called FedEx and they said it's not coming back to us. You should see updated movement in the next few days.
@hart Thanks, still seems off that it has sat in one spot for 2 weeks now. When i called fedex they indicated it was "definitely lost".
@tas246 Well, that's silly. We'll look into it further and get back to you.
@tas246 I guess I should say this too. Whatever the issue is, don't worry. We'll figure it out and make sure it's fixed for you.
@tas246 Same for me, lost in Redding, CA. Contacted Meh a week ago and they said it was a "problem with the manufacturer"
@hart thanks for the service!.... I still wish i could have the pillows, but my money back is a great consolation prize!
We ended up really liking these pillows. Replaced two of the four on our bed. Recommended.
I wanted new pillows but four is just too many
@xEBRONx you can never have too many pillows
I'm glad I bought these. No matter what windowsrab says. :D
I hope you run these again. My wife LOVES these. And the amazon link doesn't have them in stock.
