Any Other Control Freaks Out There?
4Or should I just crawl back into a hole? I find myself wishing for some sort or emails from meh (forum emails excepted). Order confirmations, shipping notifications, we used your credit card for prostitutes and an all-you-can-eat grilled cheese sandwich bar in Tijuana, etc. I'm confident that my mail delivery people/neighbors are out to get me so I'd feel more secure knowing a rough idea of when my special meh shirts and "Fucking Shitty Speakers" might arrive. Yes I'm neurotic. Meh.

Yes. It always unnerves me when I don't have a copy of my online order in my email. It's how I keep tabs on what I've received, what's late, etc.
While I can just check back here on my account, it does bug me to not have that email in my online shopping folder, waiting for the delivery, so it can be moved to "complete."
As a general rule, if a company doesn't email me an order confirmation, I don't shop there again. Meh gets to bypass this because I know they are real, but the email would be helpful.
You can always go here if you're feeling antsy. I'm kind of glad not to have more crap in my inbox.
https://meh.com/orders - is where that link was meant to go. It's missing a :
Thanks! I don't know what I did wrong, but I appreciate that you caught it for me!
Ahh, the problem was there were two https://
I kind of wish I got some emails as well, but you can check your order status on the Meh main page (bottom left). Once I found that, I felt better about it
Emails schmemails.... How about a poke?
Oooh, I like that idea - or better yet, they could just message us on Myspace... Or put it on our Geocities page.
Angelfire page, and ICQ.
Google Wave notification. (I actually like email, it is less one sided if something would ever happen and I need Credit Card Company help.)
Not that I expect to need Credit Card Company help for Meh.com.
We're actually working on a telnet-based order checking service.
It's a marketing ploy to not send emails. If I can remind myself to check the site, then the space in my mind for Meh is worth a lot more than the space in my inbox.
waitwaitwait. OK you convinced me, but....er you won't ship to my stinky little island. Meh? I guess I can live without another bluetooth speaker. buuut.... some day you might have something i can't live without, and you probably won't ship that here either. what do you have against hawaii? :(
Your life is already too good, you don't need us making it worse.
Plan: Anything you really want, buy it and use my ship addy. Send me a plane ticket I'll deliver it. You do have a guest room, right ?
@ceagee this is the most logical answer possible.
Whenever you buy something from meh.com send yourself an email problem solved. You're welcome everyone.
Too much effort on my part. I already waded through all of the thing they had for sale to decide what I wanted.
Fine. Email me when you buy something and I'll email you.
That's much more convenient, thanks!
I've been taking screenshots of the order page on my phone. This way I have a record (auto uploaded to Drive each day) and my email is unsullied. Win-win-win.
I just drag the image of my order to a file on my desktop.
I think the reason they don't email, is to try and make you forget how much you ordered, so you will buy more.
Normally I would agree that an email would be warranted, even necessary, however I find myself falling in line with the intended theme and concept of the site.
Meh. I don't even know if I really want that thing that I ordered anyway.
@marklog I'm certain you had a direct intention when posting that gif, I just have zero idea what it was. Either way, well played.
@mehcus, sometimes a gif is just a gif. Not this time, but sometimes.
