Ask our Wholesale team!
11The next interview is going to be someone from the Wholesale team. They may not be closely related to meh like those buyers you met so it would be interesting to learn about what they do and how the business runs on their side.
Post your questions here, I’ll ask them for you!

What’s the difference between wholesale and buyers?
Also i need a roomba or neato could you get one here? I promise a silly video in exchange.
@CaptAmehrican Buyer buy. Wholesalers sell. At least in my world. Goodness knows what’s Meh’s doing.
@ACraigL but wholesalers sell to bulk buyers meh is 3 at a time max
@CaptAmehrican I’m assuming that’s part of what Mediocre Labs does?
Where does most fuku/o content come from? The buyer’s misfire or the wholesalers whoopsie?
@ACraigL
I suspect the entire business model is whoopsie-driven

when someone buys 100 laptops or 1,000 knifes, how do you ship?

Why is it called “wholesale?” Is there anyone out there doing “half-sale” or “three-quarters-sale?”
Do you sell pies?

Do you have an on-site refrigerated vault for your perishables?

@f00l I’ve seen the coyote try this once before, and it’s far too ingenious to fail twice…
@f00l when i was lIttle i was so excited the first time i saw an acme supermarket. i was so disappointed when I realized that they didn’t sell anything attached to a rocket
Tell us about your typical day. What? It has to be in the form of a question? Never mind.

What types of delivery issues do the wholesalers see. We know the challenges folks on here see, but in bulk how bad does it get
Do you get to go to interesting conventions and shows? What was the weirdest thing someone tried to sell you?
Do the wholesale customers also complain about shipping?
Are any of the products on the wholesale side exclusive to the wholesale buyers?
Do your wholesale customers get the full Meh experience the Meh.com users have, or is it a much more serious tone?
Is it true you’d sell your own mother if the price was right?
@Pavlov Pussies.
@cranky1950 You’re cranky.
How do you find the products you buy? Do you contact companies randomly asking if they are overstocked or have clearance items they want to dump or is there a site somewhere that has lists of pallets of things like that for sale?
who is you’re target market when hole sailing? watt type of quantities our we talking? do any off you sepll berry goud?
How do you decide what’s being sold wholesale and what isn’t worthy of the meh deal of the day?
Do you act like adults on the wholesale side?
Do wholesale sellers ever get confused and buy stuff?
Do buyers ever get confused and sell stuff?
If either of those happens, are the results ever serendipitous, or do you just chalk it up to /hangover?
Is your main inventory the same sort of discontinued-but-interesting merchandise that gets sold direct to us via Meh, but on a larger scale? Or do you all deal more in stuff that’s actually new?
What is your favorite overused saying?
What do you do when the bosses aren’t watching?

Who would I want to contact about a semi bulk order… Support or a different email? 30-100 items… or too small for meh?
@sohmageek Just contact support, and they’ll route you to the right person (if you have 30-100 items to sell, possibly use sourcing@mediocre.com).
@dashcloud nah I’m looking for 30-100 items… maybe… I gotta get a quote blah blah blah…
How many holes could a wholesaler sell if a wholesaler could sell holes?
After years of doing this have you found that wholesale is like retail and get bummed when you have to pay it because you can’t find anything cheaper?
