A whole year's worth of complaints
4We’ve been uncharacteristically up on ourselves today, but hey – you only get one first birthday! Still, it just seems right that we get a healthy dose of complaints to even us back out.
What did we do wrong? What wasn’t so good? What’s the absolute worst thing we sold? The tears over Fuku selling out just don't do it for us anymore.
Tell us how you really feel, but let’s make this at least a little constructive – at least give us suggestions on what we could have done instead, since you're so smart.
We also want to hear what you’d like to see more of from Meh in the future.
Complain away, schlubs!

Honest to goodness, i really can't fathom a single complaint. From the beginning you all have been very straight with what your intentions we're and when new things come up you've been more than professional to remedy the situation. A pretty blend of professional and relaxed, Meh does it right. I couldn't be happier with the site or the excellent community that calls this place home.
Bravo.
Oh wait, my fucking goat prize and badge. Yea, get that shit under control. Jesus fuck it's been almost a year! :)
I was gonna complain about never getting love from Meh. No winning cool prizes or contests. However, then i remembered that Ive got every single Fuku/o and while they have all been standard or below standard at least Ive been getting them. Some people havent even got one, that super sucks. Hopefully my odds of a cool prize or fuku are improving. More than likely though...they arent.
@JonT complaints... ready:
And I save the best for last...
Bonus Complaint!
OK Guess that wasn't a complaint.
ok the Bonus complaint goes to @Studerc Dude, you didn't get back to me either, I had a fukubukuro/BOC for you, and I didn't want to piss you off by sending so I was waiting patiently for you to say send or not... Also I'm not going to bring up the newest exchange, but you do have a BEAUTIFUL baby :)
@sohmageek sorry. I all but ignored that email as i had other things on my mind.
Exchange is coming in the next week or so!
@studerc Fuck me man, when will you learn to stop putting a clock on things?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!???? Just tell them it'll happen when it happens. You're just going to drive the literal ones around here (that juststephen character comes to mind) insane. Unless that is your goal, in which case, carry on - you're doing wonderfully.
@Pavlov haha. Lots of people were disappointed when i cancelled the last one. Giving myself a specific time frame requires me to stay on task and complete the objective at hand!
@studerc Doesn't @JonT put a clock on things too.... Anyway... I completely understand the baby thing... I can't BELIEVE that it's almost been 1 year already (Sept. 15.) What a year! @Studerc Do you want the box? :)
@sohmageek absolutely i want the box. We will be in touch.
@studerc Email is {The site we are on (no.com yet)}"@"{my username}".com"
@sohmageek I got a baby onesie in my last fukubukuro.
@sohmageek didnt i just watch them talk about the beer you sent them? Also, the heady topper. By the way, please send me some heady topper. I. Will. Pay. You.
@marklog was that in the last video. I didn't see it yet. Was a very bad time for me to watch. I'll have to listen to it on the way home
@sohmageek @marklog @JonT my apologies the last video I tuned in about where the squirels had the copter. I had connection issues. So I did hear it and the one you gave away was gose (pronounced with an a sound at the end instead of goose) the other one was sip of sunshine by Lawson's finest
@marklog as much as I'd love to get paid for beer. It's not on the up and up. But maybe you can get me some local good beers to trade? Email me site we're at @my username.com
@sohmageek if I figured out your secret code properly, email sent.
@marklog you did. Very fast at that :)
The biggest mistake I saw this last 7 months was the dog-toy fiasco. There are minimum standards there but I think you guys learned that pretty quick (proven when you issued the next set of perfectly appropriate dog toys).
My biggest complaint is variety of items. I'd like to see some more variety in your offerings (think knives, things that have speakers, things that make food / clean up after food / serve food in / store food in & things you fly.)
Can't complain too much, you've kept me interested & checking back regularly so you must be doing something right!
My biggest complaint: It's been a year now and I still haven't been able to sweep @JonT off his feet!
But seriously, I don't think I have any complaints. Even when there were some problems, I just clumsily clapped my hands and laughed uncontrollably.
Chaos is kinda' my thing. The servers crashed during the middle of a Fuku and didn't come back up for over an hour -- Some customers thought their orders weren't delivered fast enough -- Items that sold out before the selfish-bitchy-entitled-whiny-asinine-crybaby-complainers could get one (probably my favorite regular occurrence) -- Videos didn't get posted on time -- Threats of lawsuits because @JonT won't send nude pictures of himself to me... errr... other people
All of these things have made my life that much more enjoyable for the past year. Happy Birthday, Meh. You deserve as much joy on this day as you've given me in the past year. Thanks!
You guys have done so well in your initial year, that it's really hard to bash you about anything, but, I'll try anyways.
1: Shipping delays. I know you played Clash of Clans in the winter instead of shoveling out a tunnel in the blizzards. My free shipping on the free item you sent me wasn't fast enough.
2: There is not enough content. Sometimes I get bored of browsing in between meh and reddit. I run out of stuff to read, and actually have to work. Fix it.
3: Sometimes you don't read my questions. I don't know if it's because they aren't funny enough, or you didn't see them. I don't wanna be the needy one in this relationship.
4: Prizes! Yes, you're a busy guy doing cool stuff at a cool job that I'll never have, but you need to follow through with this better. Cough March Video Event, and all of the other ones ahead of that. Get to it! (Oh, and thanks for the espresso maker).
@lichme favorite comment thus far. "Please compete with the likes of Reddit regarding amount of content."
Yeah, even before I took a medical break, I'd been drifting away for some time because there just isn't much variety. And I mean I'm fine with #SDF and the inevitable Roombas*, but moscow mule mugs, coffee travel mugs, drones, wine glasses, earbuds, food storage, and so on... there's a high chance of seeing a couple or even a few of those in a week, and I don't hang out in the forum when I shrug and close the window.
Related, even now, Woot and DailySteals still have an occasional product I didn't even know existed, but I don't think there's been one here. These days admittedly there haven't been any that made me think, "Huh, I want one of those just to see what it is," but I'd love it if Meh found that kind of thing.
But yeah, beyond encouraging way more variety, y'all are doing just fine by me.
@editorkid In our family, someone would have phrased it "inevitable Roombas ... saw them open for Jesus and Mary Chain at the Crystal Palace, '93."
You never had another cheap deep fryer. I really wanted a cheap deep fryer, one that I could make more than fifteen potato chips at a time in.
@lisaviolet A corn-baller!
The forums mainly. I've aired my gripes of it in the past but if I remember to I'll elaborate on it when I get home.
I find it difficult to keep up with the forums on my mobile devices. The interface is clean, but it's just not very conducive to seeing what I'd already seen and moving from one unread item to the next. So I avoid foruming when I don't have access to a PC. Commenting itself is great; it's just that navigating and keeping track totally suck. It's true that much of what makes accessing the forums on a PC so great is @jsh139's awesome Chrome extension, but, damnit, he showed you what we needed almost ten months ago.
BTW, the steady stream of improvements in the PC browser interface--including enhanced commenting and the thing I didn't notice until recently where I can see who's starred something--have been great.
That's the biggest thing I can think of right now. I really do think you guys have done a great job of steadily improving the site and I like the deals. But give me time, because I'm a bitchy asshole by nature, so I'm sure to come up with something else.
@joelmw I really wanna get the Meh Scroller working on mobile. Unfortunately, Safari doesn't support mobile extensions. I think Firefox or Chrome might, though. I'll look into it. It would probably be Android only, though which wouldn't help me.
Yeah, all of what @joelmw said. I've been really happy with Meh for the last year and have sung your praises to the point of being really annoying about it. I may have a problem. Anyway, the only drawbacks for me are mainly mobile forum related. I rarely come to the forums on mobile anymore and won't read anything that's gotten an unwieldy number of comments when on mobile. I wait until I'm on my laptop and use @jsh139's lifesaving extension. By then, there's sooooo much that I've missed, I sometimes just give up and don't read anything.
@joelmw I concur that Mobile is a bit wacky... Especially if there are a lot of images... Crashes poor safari sometimes...
@joelmw Another Forum issue I find isn't in the forums at all... it's the notifications. I had to make a separate e-mail address just for MEH (rules kind of suck on mobile, if anyone has any idea how to get them to work better let me know, I'd probably even buy a different mail app for my iPhone...) But... I can't separate it even more to have an e-mail address for forum notifications and an e-mail address for shipping/buying notifications. Infact, I'd LOVE to turn off you've bought XYZ notifications again. I miss the little check box that said sent shipping notification, perhaps bring it back and default=checked? Then I can Uncheck the damn thing :) Or just let us use 2 different emails and not have to make an account for forum and an account for buying shit... That is doable... but annoying... and I'd lose my little VMP badge...
I thought it was lame that you caved and embraced social media. You also caved on the order confirmation and shipping emails. Seems like there was another principle you went back on... Don't go changing (any more), meh.
@meds Funny how when they add a feature I want it's "listening to their users" but when they add a feature someone else wants it's "caving".
There was that time when you had a fuku when I was travelling. I couldn't check my phone because I was driving and the only one in the car. It sold out. That was pretty inconsiderate.
@Santo No excuses, I was driving last night and at 11:58 I pulled over on the side of the highway, got my tablet and phone out and started refreshing as soon as I saw them hit midnight. Got my fuku. Granted, today's was the most predictable.
@TaRDy But did Irk et al even care that I was changing time zones? They probably didn't even give it a second thought.
You guys have responded pretty quickly to major issues - if it has an OHSHIT report, it gets fixed. In other words, you're making it hard to find a complaint.
Maybe have a current average response time on the support page - no one will read it, but I still like the idea.
Thanks for a great year and here's to the next!!
@Thumperchick Stay tuned on that one, I'm working on making that a thing. You know, now that the stat actually looks good and all.
It would be nice to be able to change my stored credit card without having to buy an item or email customer support.
@jsh139 yes!!! Payment method editing!
@jsh139 Oh, I'd forgotten about that one! An account page that lets you update your CC info and addresses (or at least lets you set default info).
@jsh139 +1. I'd like to be able to change my credit card and/or shipping address without having to wait 'till I order or 'till I contact and get a response from CS.
You asked me to take a survey and you didn't share the results..not even the really good ad lib comments!
Sold me wayyyyyy to many items needing aaa batteries and only sold crappy aaa(s) 😉
A highly anticipated Mehrathon would be nice, because who needs sleep. I'd like to see a progress bar thingy or something of that nature to give an idea of how much stuff is left to sell. And how about more purple options. And Sansas. Maybe purple Sansas. Other than that, Meh is awesome.
@heartny Starred for the purple.
@PurplePawprints Thank you. I thought maybe you starred for the Sansas :-)
@heartny @PurplePawprints I love purple. Go Team Purple!
@heartny I own a purple Sansa. :)
@Barney I'm jealous. Mine are blue. Is that half purple?
@heartny Blue is blue and purple is purple.
@Barney What about royal blue?
@Thumperchick Um...You're just trying to confuse me... Nope, blue is blue and purple is purple.
@Barney If blue + red = purple, then blue is half of purple. Just sayin'
@heartny Nope.
So yeah, the forums. They're not really a forum. A forum implies that every opinion/post matters and is visible. It's a chronological catalog of thought.
What you have here is a image board lite. Lite because the comment nesting only goes one level. It's basically a topic and a series of "main comments" with child comments of their own. I think it bothers me more than it should because it's the type of paradigm that encourages ass pattery. Folks no longer really post for the sake of having their voice recorded, they comment in hopes it appeases the dark communal tar that is their peers.
It's also reinforced by not being able to follow a single chronological thread of thought (so those who are looking for the ass pats are still stage in center regardless of sub-comments to their comments).
Luckily a lot of threads don't have too much activity so it hasn't gotten to the point where I completely have given up on this place but I'm sure that'll change with time.
I feel kind of bad sometimes when someone asks a question about the day's item in the product thread and gets no response. Maybe staff could be more responsive that way?
I have no complaints for myself. I love the community you have built, I feel like I have friends here.
Also, it seems like you have more and more sellouts lately, so it's great that you're getting closer to your goal for deals.
Long live meh!!
@KDemo I agree, but Woot was a lot of the same thing. There's only so much the staff can know when they sell different things every day. The staff more or less know what they can Google/Check Amazon to find out....which the end user could also do.
Ever since this comment, I have noticed a change. Huge props to staff for being completely responsive to relevant questions. (I'm looking at you, @MEHcus).
@KDemo Hey thanks! Want an insider secret? It's a total team effort. When anyone at Mediocre notices something gets posted on the forums that needs a response they will ping myself, @JonT, @hollboll, @moose, @Chadp, @galmaegi, @Shawn, @Dave, @Snapster or any one of a host of Meh staffers to get it taken care of. While I certainly appreciate the direct props, they've got to be spread out on this one.
@MEHcus - I can't keep up with everything here anymore, but it's true, I've seen all the aforementioned suspects jumping in to help. Plus @kylethephotoguy. Kudos to all.
i originally became a fan because I stumbled on a fuku that I actually got and then found a couple of other fun and sometimes useful items (pillows, ceramic cups that broke for everybody but me, a helicopter, a neoprene bath, travel mugs, computer tv tuner). The only fun things left, however, seem to be fukus (close to impossible to get now) and repetitions (not gonna buy another helicopter) or necessities that I still have and so won't buy again until they break (pillows, cups, etc.). so I cancelled my VMP :'( ... anyways, my suggestion to the buyers is to have a preference for trying to sell things that you never sold before. Keeps things interesting!
@Mehntok agreed. i like quirky weird things i didn't know i needed.
more things for vmp. not necessarily free things, but, swag i can choose to purchase .
where the eff are my lapel pins?
seriously, i collect lapel pins and it would make my day to have a meh pin on my work badge lanyard.
i need flair.
@vampje Yes! The last non-used lapel pins I bought were the Svengoolie set, and that was over a year ago. I would LOVE some meh pins.
Seeing an item I just bought offered 3 weeks later with a lower price. Then again with an even lower price. In the end I paid $40 more for the identical item.
Smarten up the ordering system just a bit. If I buy an item, then an hour later I decide I need another, the ordering system could merge them into a single shipment, thereby saving Meh a few dollars in shipping costs. It matters not to me how many packages Dumbpost delivers, but I wouldn't object to you cats saving a little scratch so you can continue offering stuff like VMP and Fukus and mediocre socks and...
This is going to sound self serving and literally looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I've won 3 or so prizes here, and I haven't seen hide nor hair of one of them. There was the February video contest, the Goat prize, and getting a Mad Ape Den done. At this point I'm thinking my prize is a nice pat on the back.
I know it's been suggested to send a Self Addressed Stamped Box, but eh... I rarely have time to do such an endeavor. Besides, how big of a nox should I pack? Should I shoot for the moon?
Oh well. Maybe I'll get one and it'll be like Christmas.
I'll echo the other sentiments regarding the forums. I sometimes skim, but the UI and threading make it kind of difficult and annoying.
Biggest complaint, and maybe it's a strategic decision: Meh T-shirts. I'd like to be able to hand you money at any point and time and refresh my supply, so I can stop doing laundry.
larger variety... specifically, where's the cool summer sports stuff?
I'm still nursing a grudge about the coffee mug-geddon. I wanted so badly a double-insulated ceramic silicone-topped mug.
@simssj One survived for me. I am almost afraid to use it, for fear it may break. But at least I have 3 interchangeable lids for it.
@Pamtha I've been using mine every weekday at work for 6+ months. Its been great! Wish it held a little more liquid, though. 12oz of coffee is good, but 16oz would be great. I NEED THOSE EXTRA 4 OUNCES! :D
The way VMP is pitched keeps changing. More offers for VMPs to incentivize me to remain signed up. Even just let me buy more Meh shirts as a VMP. Maybe the Meh Faces shirt that I'm still bitter about.
@mikey What size are you looking for?
@YahSah15 I would pay small fistfuls of dollars for a 3xl.
@YahSah15 i would like a women's L (if they are sized like the AA shirts I know and love) and men's XL if you are stocked up...
@YahSah15 (or anybody else reading) if you are looking to unload a men's medium or large I would be tickled purple. I would even try a woman's size. I made a sad face when I missed out.
@mikey You got it. Five bucks plus postage, my username at yahoo dot com when shirt gets here.
@marklog, @speediedelivery Sorry, wrong size. :)
@YahSah15 Wow, that is entirely too generous! Did you get extras or something? I'd rather just continue feigning bitterness than deprive you of your only one, if that's what's happening here.
@speediedelivery Aww, purple. I wish I had a shirt for you.
@speediedelivery I showed my daughter the shirt -- she is on the fence as to whether she wants one or not.. if she doesn't, I have a man's medium or large up for grabs -- $5 plus shipping. I will let you know :)
@mikibell Sounds good. I know it is my, wait I mean @Starblind 's fault that it did not check in until they sold out.
@mikey Shirts arrived.
Apologies, yahsah151 @ same, and no deprivation involved. :)
@mikey Something's terribly wrong with my yahoo account. Locked out. Will have to find another way to send you the shirt.
@speediedelivery I swear I posted this already, but I have a man's large avail for you. Contact username @ onmyhonor dot com!
@mikibell Sent.
@speediedelivery your shirt is winging it way to you.. should be there in 3 days!! I will email you the tracking number..
@mikibell Awful trusting of you ;)
@mikey Shirt in unopened package is ready, but I still can't access my yahoo mail. If you still want it you might want to get a temporary email address and post it so I can contact you. :)
@YahSah15 You can email me at mikey@bluey.com.
@JonT BTW... I think some of my more recent complaints are more of suggestions on how to fix them also... I don't like to complain without 2 things, Possible solutions, and Smiles... Although sometimes possible solutions come off as arrogant but that's not the intent... so sometimes they come off with 4 things:
My biggest complaint is that on day four, you didn't remind me to click on the Meh button. It's my ONLY missing face (excluding day zero).
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that I didn't find out about Meh until day one. Why wasn't I told beforehand?
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that we were promised more Possum Head Chronicles, and yet it has been MONTHS since then and we have no chronicles.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that we had to wait until like this month to get a proper reply dialogue in the forums so I don't have to add manual HTML line breaks and stuff.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that @matthew still hasn't reached out to me to become best friends.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that meh.ca isn't a thing. There's a whole country to the north of you that is ripe for mediocritisation.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that I haven't actually met Irk in person. Or get my own Irk doll/toy/puppet.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that you used the better of the two Meh theme songs as your Twitter theme, rather than as your site theme, and I don't Tweet.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that one of my fantastic mediocre socks has gone missing. I'm looking at you, @Hollboll.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is all the kvetching about how Meh is unfair to eastern timers. I'm an eastern timer. Midnight is midnight. Would it be nice to have the site turn at 9PM? Sure. But at least I don't have to stay up till 1AM anymore.
Oh wait, scratch that, my biggest complaint is that I have to wait a whole year now before getting to wish Meh another happy birthmeh!
And if that's my biggest complaint, you've gotta think that you've done a pretty decent job, considering. ;-)
@curtise There's no meh.ca because, with your robot devil hands, you already have an edge over the whole US as it is.
@curtise I believe @MEHcus was holding a lone Mediocre sock in that periscope video. Hmmm...
@sammydog01 I saw where he had one flip flop... Pretty sure the socks were a pair, though they were likely used.
My biggest complaint is that there are not enough complaints. You're being totally not Mediocre, Meh.
Actually that guy is right. My biggest complaint about this site that can never be fixed is that I was never told about the kickstarter. Seriously, that bothers me the most. It's not like you couldn't harvested all the woot users emails with nnn items sold or something. Bah.
@DrunkCat I wasn't a huge woot user, but I did follow the deals.woot community (always meant to start posting there, but didn't, and now it's pining for the fjords), and there were a number of threads (swiftly removed) talking about this new site by snapster.
@dashcloud I gave up completely but still subscribed to the daily emails. The moment I caught wind of this place though that was done with.
@DrunkCat I found out about the Kickstarter on Facebook during a woot-off. Someone mentioned the KS site in the comments when people were complaining about not scoring a BOC.
@lisaviolet No Facebook either. What's wrong with just good old email?
A mehrathon/ambivalanche would be nice =P
I feel like the birthday celebration should have included @matthew's head photoshopped coming out of something birthcanalish.
Sorry, I didn't know we were supposed to save up our complaints for this occasion. I've already given them away. Now all I can give you is a sweater.
Hey, I found another thing to bitch about: I kinda hate the animal skulls and dancing worms. Tell me I'm not the only one. It's no biggie actually, but in the context of everyone begging to bring them back or somehow "enhance" the experience (what the actual fuck?), I felt like it needed to be said. So there, I said it.
To be clear, I don't find these things gross or otherwise offensive, just mind-numbingly boring. I mean, yaknow, if that's your thing, bully for you. But I don't give a shit.
And, really, it's okay. I like stuff with Irk. And when @matthew sings. And video ombudsman--that I love. Staff interviews. Chinface. Demos. Product demolitions. And the ever-brilliant MAD APE DEN. I even kinda sorta sometimes like Glen's nonsense. And Hank, Hank, buddy, you kill me. Yeah, just about everything. Everything but the fucking skeletal remains and earthworms. Maybe someone doesn't like the stuff that I think is genius.
Yaknow, maybe the worms and skeletal remains remind me of the redneck roots I've tried so hard to separate myself from. Hmmm. I might be onto something. Still, it wouldn't break my heart to never see a rodent skull or writhing worm on meh again.
I know people love that stupid shit and I don't mean to hurt any feelings. And if that's the cost for keeping the community going, so be it. But, hey, we've given you a ton of far more exciting video suggestions. Pick one of those. You won't regret it.
@joelmw I also dislike the earthworm dance parties, but I LOVE ME SOME POSSUM HEAD CHRONICLES!
BTW, your list of complaints is just a single complaint and a whole list of things you love about Meh. Son, I am disappoint. ;-)
@curtise :-)
@joelmw INCONCEIVABLE!
@curtise
(The traditional response seemed so, well, expected. But I'm not actually going to 'splain anything. I mean, I could, but no. :-) )
@joelmw You are not the only one. I also can't watch chinman, it really creeps me out for some reason. Sometimes I listen to the audio without watching. I had forgotten about the ombudsman, that was great. The rest are great, seems like Hiram would be the most labor-intensive to make, but it's always awesome. DTWM is fun, but I still say @Matthew is just trying to charge his grocery list to his expense account ;-)
@KDemo I love chinface. But I'm kind of a fan of creepy. ;-)
No complaints. I'm happy.
@Barney
@curtise Aw, I love purple.
Related. Size matters.
1) Lack of tall sizes in shirts. I'm gonna blame my weight gain on y'all and the fact that I have to buy XXXL in order to get things to fit lengthwise, which used to be like a tent and are now, not snug, but less tenty.
2) Inconsistency in sizes. My XXXL Mediocre Labs shirt fits like an AA tall--a little past my belly button. Despite my belly, one of my XXXL meh shirts (I think it's the grey on black) is still way baggy and plenty long. The others each fit differently. It's one thing that AA has its own special size universe and that they're prejudiced against normal bodies; it's quite another that they can't even get their shit consistent. I still like AA. And I know that their problems aren't on you, but, well, fuckit, you asked for complains; this is me complaining. Get off my back already.
3) That damned "one size fits all" apron. We were so excited. Who fits in that thing? I'm not even sure that Angela from The Office could wear it. Maybe an American Girl doll? Yeah, it might be loose on a regular-sized Barbie. Sheesh.
Here's the thing: I'm happy to be a brand whore for meh. That's how much I love you. Just help me do it in stuff that sorta fits. That's all I'm asking. Thanks. :-)
@joelmw The apron covers all frontal nudity parts on me :P Wouldn't wear it in public like that.. but my husband likes the look...
@mikibell Now you're giving me ideas . . .
@joelmw I was going to offer to help you relocate the apron to a good home where it could hang out with a couple of gigantic aprons (the wedding ones) and look like a child that belonged there. But... Thanks to @mikibell, I am now planning on hitting my head against a wall until I can't remember why I'm doing that.
@christinewas :-D
@christinewas muhhhahhhhhhaaaaaa my evil plan worked!! ;)
@joelmw I am surprised no one did it for the meh contest... I was too tired to do it, but that is how I know what all is exposed ;)
@christinewas P.S. you are tinier than I am.. bet your hubby would enjoy the look on you ;)
I'd like to complain that my office light turns off every 5 minutes after 6PM, and I have to clap my hands like an idiot to turn it back on.
But I doubt you can fix that for me, unless the solution is to continuously fly a gyrocopter/helicopter/drone in front of the sensor to make it think someone is moving around enough for the lights to stay on.
Hrm. I think you solved my problem. Thanks! :D
My only complaint as mentioned before:
3 months to get the lost Fuku (#3). 5 months and I've given up on this promise.
@Bogie This is quite the disappointment. One thing i really value is someones word. At times, i dont see this happening and its sad.
@snapster Great breakfast octopus, keeper of Mediocrity, please hear the pleas of the Fukubukuro Five, and intercede on their behalf.
It seems wrong to burden you with this impossible task, but my biggest complaint is that my husband doesn't fully comprehend the awesomeness of meh. He mocks me for the things you make me want to buy. Maybe I could send you his amazon wishlist and you could start looking for similar items to sell us at amazing deals. More Gerber? Even more knives?
While we are on the impossible... Could you also fix my luck? I got the fuko but have yet to snag a fuku. I think that pretty much sums up the problem.
Also, I'll jump in the mobile-friendly forum requests. I want to get more involved, but... it's kind of a headache. I'm rarely on a PC.
My gripe is the 1.5 Halo Personal Video Camera Messenger w/Built-in Mic & Magnet you sold then turned around and confessed it was a bogus piece of shit but you didn't even offer to exchange it for a $20.00 Insteon Camera.. That wasn't fair!! Uh, wait a minute.. I bought that messenger from another supplier and it works.. Never Mind.
@unkabob well mine was in my last FUKU and it truly is a piece of corn filled shit....
@somf69 ... Yeah, but for five bucks... wasn't it worth waiting for the disappointment? What if they had sent you a life sized Japanese sex robot, how would you have felt then?
Why do you have to sell out of stuff before I check in and buy it? I think I need to flounce.
There should be a Meh user setting. If the item going on sale is something that will sell out before I manage to check in and buy it, that the number that I want is reserved until I check in and pay. Actually, you can just charge me and send it now that I think a bit more about it. Yes, that would be perfect. Make it happen.
It has been a fun and interesting year. I need/want more time to keep up and be more active. I also need to figure a sleep wake schedule that allows me to check in at midnight. Setting an alarm wakes up more than just me and makes for a long grouchy morning.
I want to complain about @JonT for stealing the GIF that I stole. Shame on you @JonT you will probably most definitely maybe burn in GIF hell for this. I know what you are up to. Don't think I don't know.
Birthday wish
Another thing this site needs: more Beaver Skull!
@mikey AND HOW!
My only complaint is that you didn't hire me. I assume that's on the agenda for next year, right?
@HELLOALICE My only complaint is that I was hired... oh wait...
My Complaint is that there is not enough complaining....
I cancelled my VMP today. I had an issue a while back where something said it got delivered but never showed up. MEH sent me to USPS. The post office said it wasn't insured there was nothing they could do to call the vendor and you guys sent me back to USPS. This site is supposed to be fun, but it stopped being fun a while ago. For me, it's better to spend the extra money and know that my stuff will show up in a few days in one piece.
@neuromancer that's sucky and surprising.
@neuromancer @Thumperchick I haven't looked into this specific case but once we ship out a package and it's in FedEx/USPS hands there's not much we can do
ifwhen they screw it up.I've overheard @hollboll sitting on the phone for literal hours with both of them trying to get claims for missing packages worked out, they don't make it easy.
Sorry you had a bad experience, but if you gave us the chance I'm sure we would have done everything we could to make it right.
@JonT @Hollboll I'd love to hear the nightmare things that happen at MEH... I know you've read the mailbag, but things like the Ohshit reports on like the batteries or Big accidents outside causing work stoppages due to people watching cause it's bad to look, but you can't not look....
@JonT you guys said "sorry nothing we can do", and USPS said "sorry nothing we can do" . And I spent a few bucks to learn a valuable lesson.
I've noticed a startling lack of subdomains.
Where's the accessories.meh.com everyone has been clamouring for?
@Chops Don't you mean
Knives.meh.com
and
speakerdocks.meh.com
?
Whelp, since this got bumped, my complaint is that y'all in Texas and not Washington.
@DrunkCat I say keep meh out of my state. I am not charged taxes on my purchases.
@cengland0 True. Life changed when woot linked with Amazon in Seattle.
Wow, is this not on here yet? My complaint is that there's no pagination in the forum!
@DaveInSoCal this complaint won't be viable anymore soon enough.
@JonT How about PM system?
@JonT Getting rid of the forum's, eh? Smart move. All your customers are mouthy.
@DaveInSoCal But then he would be out of a job. So have pity on @JonT -- he's got a wedding to pay for.
No extra love for VMP; we've gotten socks and customized cables and then ?
The Captcha has never worked for me: not on Android tablets, not on IE; nothing. I am still torqued about that.
I'm not a fan of ChinFace, Dancing Earthworms, Hey, It's Glen, or Hank. But that I cop to being a personal problem, not Meh's fault.
