Well neato. Purchased a bundle for me, a bundle to break up to assist Christmas gifts, AND a bundle to donate. Everyone wins. Sadly the last image was a robotic hand and not a robotic baby arm, I for one, blame @lisaviolet!
@VeeDubTDI wait, what? You have several hundred of that size battery already and you ordered more than a hundred more? why???? I only have 2, do I need to buy some?
@chellemonkey Cover for the battery slots on top, I guess. But the more I look at it the more I think my first thought is correct. You can see it's privates reflected at the edge of the mirror.
Meh reads minds, apparently. My mom was asking a few days ago if I could find more batteries for her cheaply like I did last time (on Meh). I searched and found some that were reasonable, but she didn't like the price as much, so she said she would wait. She didn't have to wait long. Thanks Meh!
I still have about three-quarters of the batteries I bought a couple rounds ago, but our choir rents space from a church for our rehearsals and concerts. The church goes through case after case of AAs for their wireless mics. Some of the parishioners think we use the church more than we should so I'm going to donate $90 worth of batteries to engender a little goodwill. In for 120.
@Stallion I'm not going to tell them how much I actually paid, silly. I'm telling them how much they'd cost on Amazon (according to mediocrebot, anyway).
Welp... always gunna need some AA's... and these are about as cheap a AA as I'd be comfortable purchasing. surging-fragrant-rum = in for 120 and winning!
@snapster No Problem. I showed it to a coworker and he was like "Its Meh, they're probably doing it on purpose". So we checked if you were faking a slow load with JS or CSS trickery before I posted ;)
Everyone affected by this should have received an email from us (check your other folders if you didn't) but in the spirit of transparency we wanted to make this post.
There was a slight problem we ran into…we don’t have as many Toshiba batteries as we thought we did (Irk probably ate them or something, trolls eat batteries right? I don't even know). In order to get these out in time for Christmas (or whatever other holiday you're into) we’re sending the people affected (which isn't everybody that ordered) Fujitsus instead AND we’re refunding the $5 item cost per unit. Not ideal, but it's the best we could do to get people their batteries before the 25th.
Still, we know you wanted the Toshibas, and we're really sorry about that.
Look for that refund today and for the Fujitsu batteries sometime between now and Christmas.
Sorry again about the screw-up. Shoot us a message at https://meh.com/support if you have any other issues or questions or just want to talk about which 90s boy band was the best (it's obviously N*Sync).
@JonT Thank you for the nice letter regarding my battery order on Dec 10th and your generous offer to not only refund my money but also send me Fujitsus batteries. The only issue I have is your assumption that I really wanted Toshiba batteries or I even really wanted batteries. If you look at my order history you would realize, I just buy from you to support your site and my addition to it. Any member of my family, especially my wife, will tell you I don’t need the things I buy from your site. Isn’t that the point of meh if I cared about the products I would not be a true VMP. I was a very big, longtime fan of that other site; I have over a hundred flying monkeys and a lot of great memories to show for it. I am so glad you started this new site. My experience is you almost never make mistakes and when you do you always more than make up for it.
@JonT If I really wanted good customer service like this, I'd have gone anywhere else. Meh customer service should be more like "We F*cked up. Deal with it and your life choices." and use the $5 that you ripped off of us and do another experiment of some kind. With gift cards. And steak. And blackjack. And hookers.
@Sharie I just checked your tracking for you and it's currently in transit and the estimated delivery is 12/22/2014. You can check the status of your orders at https://meh.com/orders.
Mine arrived yesterday and as I'm carrying the box in the house my 15 yr old asks why the tivo remote isn't working right (as its 'stuck' fast forwarding the ESPN show he was watching) - I open box - hand him two fresh batteries - problem solved - thanks meh!
I received my order today and some of the batteries are corroded. I need replacements. Please advise as to how I go about getting them. (I sent a message about the order the day I made it and have yet to receive an answer to that. I will give a week and if I do not receive an answer, I will contest the charge with my credit card company since I question whether I will hear back from you because of that.) Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone else have dead fujitsus out of the package? I bought both fujitsus & toshibas and have had 0 issues with the toshibas & (so far) only dead ones out of the fujitsu package.
Specs
Toshiba:
Fujitsu:
Condition - New
Warranty - 90 Day Mediocre
Ships Via - FedEx SmartPost
What’s in the Box?
Pictures
Fujitsu batteries
Toshiba batteries
Toshiba packaging
Creepy and also kooky
Price Check
$30.71 at Amazon for Toshiba
This handy post by silalus over at Woot gives some information per battery comparisons.
For reference, ours break down to:
$0.13 per battery if you’re a VMP for 1 pack
Not a VMP? It’s $0.25 per battery with shipping
Warranty
90 days
I guess I could use them in Christmas presents if they get here in time...
I like batteries, have been using these in my kids toys no problem. Trying the Funitsu's this round.
@Stallion Fujitsu typo, but may as well be Funitsu's
@Stallion In for some fukunitsus too.
mAAh
Battery sales have been prolific this season. I think I bought about a hundred of each AA and AAA in the last two weeks.
@ruouttaurmind Every time i buy batteries I think about how I should be using rechargeables.
@naropa if @meh would sell us some eneloops or even knockoff eneloops that would be sweet.
Meh, these already destroyed all the other items in my last fukubukuro.
Well neato. Purchased a bundle for me, a bundle to break up to assist Christmas gifts, AND a bundle to donate. Everyone wins. Sadly the last image was a robotic hand and not a robotic baby arm, I for one, blame @lisaviolet!
@studerc I'd like to learn more about this robotic hand. Is Meh saying that the Munsters was a better show than the Adams Family?
no oh..........................................................................
이건아니지말입니다..
I already bought a bajillion AAs. The writeup was right. I need AAAs!!
In for 120.
@MsELizardBeth I'm glad I'm not the only one! I still have over 400 left from previous purchases. Obviously, I'm in for 120 more Fujitsus.
@VeeDubTDI wait, what? You have several hundred of that size battery already and you ordered more than a hundred more? why???? I only have 2, do I need to buy some?
@Lera fuckin' a yeah! Get some. :)
No photo zoom beta for VMP today? WTF? Need battery close-ups.
@heartny sorry, the gamma test is even more exclusive.
I was about to buy, but then I remembered that it's not 2006 anymore and everything I own uses rechargeable batteries.
@giroro I used to recharge batteries when I was a kid, now I just add to the landfill's, sad.
@giroro I have a three year old. He has a billion toys. We go through a lot of batteries.
@MsELizardBeth I have a 2yo, stocking up now.
How about some 9 volts? Just sayin'...
@AnnaB My smoke detectors may need batteries!
@opello mine too. I can barely hear mine when I'm standing under it.
@AnnaB You can crack open the 9v batteries to get 6 AAA batteries! Problem solved!
@Fej 6 AAAA batteries. Not AAA.
@Fej I'd like to HAVE 9 volts. I can't break open the 9 volts Meh isn't selling me. As they are nonexistent. Just sayin'
@alacrity That would have been my reaction if they had those underground AAA's.
@Moonb007 i was just excited that the deal wasn't a speaker dock, drinking glass, or iFruit-thingy
Unwary-entertained-show.
@MsELizardBeth ancient-dysfunctional-radish
MEH. . . . need AAA . . . if it's so hard to find AAA, perhaps work on finding a shrink ray that we can use on all these AA
i work in an industry that wastes more of these then I can use myself meh................
@sp3ar OR?
@sp3ar Sex toy testing?
How slow am I tonight - I thought the square under the hand was a mirror so it could look at its private parts.
@hallmike What is it really? I couldn't figure it out
@chellemonkey Cover for the battery slots on top, I guess. But the more I look at it the more I think my first thought is correct. You can see it's privates reflected at the edge of the mirror.
@hallmike That makes sense. I was thinking the thing on top the hand was a solar panel (I realize now that makes no sense in context)
A little more per battery (for VMP's) but for anyone that wants both AA and AAA, Home Depot has their Rayovac special going on again. 30 of each type for $9.98 with free store pickup. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Rayovac-Alkaline-1-5-Volt-AA30-AAA30-Pro-Pack-Battery-AL-60PPFQP100/202926671
@Cinoclav
Meh. We just bought a metric crap ton of eneloop rechargeables.
@Headly I also have been stocking up on eneloops, but I'm hooked on meh like a whore on crack. In for 120
morose-sweaty-tequila
I've had a few of those nights.
In for 1 because of VMP.
@remo28 top quality order phrase!
I still have 80 or so from the last time...
well my pirate ship runs on AAAs but I suppose I could find a use for some AAs.
I've used up all of 2 of the ones I bought last time.
SEE!?! This is why I know that woot got @snapster 's rolodex intha divorce! BOUGHT THIS 24hours ago
@unixrab
@JonT "I pardon You"
alright this is cool and all but sell some freaking AAA!!!!
Commander, did you not read the write-up?
@hems79 sincere-wistful-interest
Meh reads minds, apparently. My mom was asking a few days ago if I could find more batteries for her cheaply like I did last time (on Meh). I searched and found some that were reasonable, but she didn't like the price as much, so she said she would wait. She didn't have to wait long. Thanks Meh!
Well, even though I still have a bunch of Toshiba batteries, in for some Fujitsu batteries
shy-miraculously-shoe
I have only used four of the 80 I bought last time, but I'm in for 120. Meh, please sell more stuff that uses AA's...
I still have about three-quarters of the batteries I bought a couple rounds ago, but our choir rents space from a church for our rehearsals and concerts. The church goes through case after case of AAs for their wireless mics. Some of the parishioners think we use the church more than we should so I'm going to donate $90 worth of batteries to engender a little goodwill. In for 120.
@SSteve brilliant plan. Jesus will love you long time.
@SSteve great plan, but how does 120 batteries equal $90? Isn't it more like $15(3 packs of 40x$5) with VMP?
@Stallion I'm not going to tell them how much I actually paid, silly. I'm telling them how much they'd cost on Amazon (according to mediocrebot, anyway).
I bought 2 Fujitsu and 1 Toshiba, just because. Image search from order number:
@jqubed Good science museum, downtown Columbus
"delicious-light-beggar"
Well, here ya go…
Damnit, I gotta buy a vibrator that runs on AAs. In for two.
WONDERFUL...........
Did I miss something? It looked like there was no way to have them sent to an address other than my cc billing address.
@rbean2004 yep, you're missing something. You can add multiple shipping addresses and select which one you want from the drop-down menu.
ugly-versatile-hamster
I think that SOB Singing Cowboy just insulted me. I'm telling you, his dastardly days of putting lingerie on goats are numbered...
Delicious, delicious batteries. I bought the Toshiba ones because that was the only one I could find reviews for AA. Seem to work pretty decently.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga Do you have something against Georgia?
@dashcloud quite the contrary.
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
Welp... always gunna need some AA's... and these are about as cheap a AA as I'd be comfortable purchasing. surging-fragrant-rum = in for 120 and winning!
my first meh.. in for 120
Where do you find all of these things?
sour-lethal-nickel
I hope that's not related to the batteries.
I don't want to cancel, but why am I charged shipping? I was told it was free shipping.
@cmealy You have to be a member of a select club where anyone can join to get that.
@stupidrobot but you do have to pay $5 to be a member of the club...
The gift that fills the junk drawers of those who you barely know but want to force them to think of you every time their television remote dies.
Thank you, Meh, for continuing to find me ways to give gifts to those I want to think vaguely of me every time they experience a minor annoyance.
My kids thank you members of Meh! Just in time for Holidays
I'm really charged up by this powerful Meh today.
The highlight behind the batteries takes forever to load. I had it come in as "aiin1fqe0lc1rbrugdzn.png" at 3MB. MegaBytes. MEGA BYTES.
That's just silly, guys.
@gigoloma yuck - thanks for the headsup
@snapster No Problem. I showed it to a coworker and he was like "Its Meh, they're probably doing it on purpose". So we checked if you were faking a slow load with JS or CSS trickery before I posted ;)
Well no need in trying if you sold out already!! crap
@dallred11 we had larger quantity of the Fujitsu batteries - those remain available while the Toshiba's are sold out
@snapster and as the description says, the Fujitsus are better anyway.
devious-merciful-person MERRY XMAS MUAHAHAHHA!!!
Wow, comparing the price of the Fujitsu's to DailySteals they sell 80 for $24. Same for only $10 here on Meh.
Meh Reigns Supreme!!!!!
@Stallion Other than rush lottery I have yet to see something there cheaper than even really anyplace including Amazon.
Am I still the least interesting man if i got them as a dirty santa gift??
SUPER , JUST BOUGHT AA BATTERIES AT LOWES 12 FOR $10.99 aaaagh!!!!
@johnwayne that is like check-out lane level of robbery
@johnwayne omg, that sucks
Super deal
nothing
@grandmaallan
huh?
First time purchaser. Thanks guys and gals.
Im going to use most of these asap and put the rest in a sock and use it as a blackjack...
Stl county loves their batteries
meh, more into rechargeable batteries
With this deal I decided to just go ahead and order some AAAs. Aparently the deal I was waiting for is not coming around soon.
Thought I'd go ahead and help break the record. nominal-buoyant-octopus:
How do I order them?
@jdwhip1
@jdwhip1 you're too late. blame @lisaviolet
@nadroj lisaviolet is elbow deep in cat crap at the moment (man, I hate cleaning litter boxes).
How do I go and purchase them?
@jdwhip1 There's only one thing for sale here at a time. The batteries were yesterday, so they're no longer available.
@jdwhip1 every deal is only available 24 hours, check https://meh.com/faq for answers to more frequently asked questions.
You're about 17 hours too late. It is a Daily Deals site :/

@don My wife wanted to donate or let the the kids play with my screaming monkeys. I said no. Them b*tches are collectible! I think.
An example of how to do customer service -right-
--we have a problem
--we are making it right as best we can
--we are also refunding you your cost
That'll do, Meh. That'll do...
@TheLunk and being totally upfront about it.
@JonT Im not sure how these are here so fast, but I ordered Fujitsu's and got toshiba! I am surprised! But very happy, thank you Meh
Ordered on Dec. 10. When can I expect to receive them?

I received my batteries today... Half are corroded... I can't use these...
@danchampionjr1 You should probably contact halp@meh.com then.
@dashcloud I figured that out too late and couldn't come back and delete this. I have sent a comment to support, I am sure they will take care of it.
@danchampionjr1 that's super weird, we'll take care of you.
