Too early in the morning. I meant "blacked out." Replies on a single line where most of your text scrolls off makes it hard to proofread before submitting.
Sorry Meh, tempted but my bank needs a break - I've only been trying to understand Meh for a couple months... but I have already bought twice as many things at Meh as I did in three years at Woot!
@JonT Neat, thanks. I mean, you did label the picture "Help us get rid of these" so I figured I could take them off your hands and provide them with more alcohol, but this works too.
my first Meh purchase. I think i'm going to put my iphone in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve
@mehybe I was hoping it'd sell out before someone in North Dakota purchased so we could praise North Dakota for being the smartest state in the nation. No such luck. They're just as bad as the rest of us.
Interesting, the 30 pack is cheaper than the 20 pack by a buck. You guys really do what this shit gone. Not badly enough to make the 30 pack cheaper than the 10 pack though...
I was going to have my husband buy 90 more on his account so we would have 180 but you're out of 30 packs. I should probably feel relieved but now I have this strange obsession with getting a massive amount of these that can't be satiated now. What are you doing to me? I don't even need these!
My name is mamawoot and I'm a Mehaholic. The first thing I'm going to do with these when they arrive is SORT them. By size, by color, by type. OMG I can't wait. OCD much?
@anchovi@hamjudo@Alien88@VeeDubTDII'm getting into the same Meh-triggered spousal trouble - how about we all go hide at the Detroit Int'l Autoshow next week? Week could meet up at Fishbones for some gumbo and beer.
@RedOak I have a pretty full schedule that weekend, but a bunch of us (from TDIClub) are going to Kart 2 Kart in Sterling Heights on Saturday afternoon after the show... should be there 2-5 or so. Gotta get through the show early before the hoards of flu-infected mouth-breathers descent upon COBO. When you see a bunch of Volkswagen TDIs (diesels) in town, you'll know it's us. ;)
@Headly@narfcake Whoa, dont blame me! I gladly roll over at midnight and check what popped. Its those west coasters complaining that it sold out when they had access at 9pm..
Thanks, Meh! This East Coaster is happy she stayed up tonight to score a 30 pack, especially since I wasn't interested in the knives last night. I also clicked my Meh face for the 189th time tonight. I can't believe it's been close to 200 days since I started giving you all my money. :-)
Looks like I got passed over for the extras @JonT is passing out. I guess thirty is more than enough for me, anyway. This is a fun thread though. I don't think I've ever seen one get so many posts as quickly as this.
I'm not buying any but I keep refreshing the page and watching the number of orders go up, and I'm getting more and more afraid. Why won't it stop? When will it sell out? If everyone bought 30 and there's 4437 orders so far, then that means there's at least 133,110 of these things out there and the number keeps going up.
I'm afraid I'm going to step outside tomorrow, my city will be gone and the world will be buried in neoprene laptop sleeves.
@grammarsheriff Me too. And that's pretty much my thought process as well. So what I'm moving in two weeks to another continent? It's thirty things for $8! How can I possibly resist this?
@JonT come at me, bro. Swing first buddy, swing first!! Shit send me a crate of them, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU! haha. And you know, whenever you are feeling super crazy that goat prize is still tugging at my heart strings. :)
@theco2 Try decaf! Maybe the guy was on his way to Woot's warehouse got a call from Woot and "execute order 666" and the guy crashes the truck right in front of Mediocre Labs and dumps all that fine product in thier laps and goes on to collect the insurance on the missing shipment. The driver? Well, he's back working his UPS route.
@BabyBear I could see Woot doing something like that. It's ingenious, but Woot could have sold them for more and no one would have known the difference.
I'm copying this and showing it to my economics teacher, tell her everything she has taught me was a lie. Then I'm going to show my math teacher and ask her to do the math. I have a busy day tomorrow, think I will go to bed now.
@BillLehecka You're a genius, my friend. And I'm sorry if I've never said that before now. At the very least, wee need to find out where he lives and send all of the packing material.
Proverbial knitted sweater. After reading comments i came up with a use for the small ones at least... I work with low income teens and we get donations of feminine hygiene items that we take to the girls at school sometimes as well as providing condoms. These cases would be way better than the brown paper bags or recycled plastic bags we use currently! (which brings me to 90)
@cengland0 You are right and they are sold out now. -sigh- @MsELizardBeth If you would like, maybe I could get Meh to send a couple of my boxes to you? However, I don't want to drown you in sleeves. :)
@barnabee If you want to look through yours and pick out the ones you want I could give you my work address to ship the ones you don't want to. We'd mostly use the small sizes I think. It would cost a little more in shipping for you but you'd at least get to see your purchase. :)
@MsELizardBeth How about this? I happened to mention to a church, where I volunteer, that I bought these sleeves. They said they would love to have a box to use for their mission work. So, why don't I see if I can get Meh to ship you a box, I give the church a box, and then I will have a box to give to family and friends. Lots of sleeves for everyone!
Today I received ten cases for which I never asked. At least @JonT warned me.
Oddly, yesterday I received a Kindle Paperwhite I'd ordered. And so my needs for a case went from 0 to 1, and I even had two appropriate cases from which to choose.
@Stallion Lucky you. I just spent eight bucks on thirty of these. What the hell am I going to do with them? It's like the aisle at the store with all the junk when you're waiting to checkout. fml
@Stallion@JonT I bought 30, but if all it takes to get another ten is that instead of a shower, I take a BATH, then I can totally do that. Prune fingers, here I come!
@JonT I also bought 30, specifically so I could take a bath in them. I wouldn't say no to more! ...I... I don't own anything that I can use them with. I don't know what's wrong with me.
@JonT is it a "shit-ton" or "metric shit-ton". cause the metric system is dumb. or good, I can't remember. But I do know that good is dumb, and always loses, so either way, a "metric shit-ton" loses. My vote for the secret word is "whatever the word is for the 'absence of metric'".
@lisaviolet I spent the $8 for 30, and then I was lucky enough to get another 10 Free if JonT should be so kind to shower me with more. Looks like i'll be giving these away for ages :)
@JonT If I knew you were giving out extra 10-packs, I would've spent the extra dollar and bought 20. That way, the extras would give me 30 overall, and I'd have spent $1 extra. Sounds like a win-win to me!
@BootlegCraig It was from them saying they were "Taking a bath" on these. And as you can see it took on a life of its own from there, of course with the help of @JonT
Ugh, missed some super fancy ass charger and then a knife... now just a bath of sleeves? Guess I can get a bunch of sleeves and throw them instead of beads at Mardi Gras, it'd be cheaper.
@somf69 at this rate they will sellout before 1am EST and we will have another 3 forums topics bitching about sellouts . on the bright side, @unixrab now has 30 more reasons to bitch and moan
So I decided to buy 30 and send it to my neighbor's address to get back at him for complaining about the "loud and disturbing" UPS truck delivering a package to me every day.
Christ, I cannot handle this any longer. I have to go to bed now and get up at 4:00 am. I'm on the east coast and have to do my performance review for 2014 between 4 am and 7 am. It's going to be horrible with only 3 hours of sleep and 3 hours to complete it.
I'm going to get a needs development on that review for sure and I have nobody to blame except Meh and maybe @joelmw.
Bet this was supposed to be the next VMP free giveaway, till they wised up that more people would probably cancel their VMP as these things don't live up to Mediocre's mediocre standards.
It looks like the thread is finally slowing down. Maybe I'll convince myself to go to bed and get some sleep. Well, after another refresh or two anyway.
@theco2 Sorry, it was after 1:00 and I couldn't bank on my kids getting a delay due to the ice. Looks like you did okay though and stayed away from the crazies.
No, no, no, no, no, don't you fucking realize, man, that if Bonnie comes home and finds 30 neoprene sleeves in her house, I'm gonna get divorced? All right? No marriage counseling, no trial separation, I'm going to get fucking divorced, okay? And I don't want to get fucking divorced. Now meh, you know, fuck, I wanna help you, but I don't want to lose my wife doing it, all right?
@tamalw No sign saying shitty neoprene storage on the front of the house? I bet the coffee is all gourmet and shit in your kitchen - I'll make a call before Bonnie comes home.
Nearly 1500 comments on this thread, and it's actually funny enough to keep reading. You guise really went over the top this time! Lucky for me, after I read through this last night, I fell asleep and it was sold out when I woke up today. Even though I have a room full of meh I was nearly overcome with temptation.
@hallmike You know there's two versions of it, and unless Pale Moon has made changes beyond optimizations for speed, not sure why it shouldn't work. Check the github page.
@joedel263 Oh I read it, but who the hell would want 30 of these things?! Then again, who would say 20 is just right, but 30?! No way José. That's entirely too much!
This had to come up the week I'm moving and already having to confront the mounts of useless crap I've purchased from the Internet...and yet....I had to buy 30. Never have I felt such simultaneous anticipation and regret.
@ModusPwnens Yeah, this. In three weeks, when this veritable clusterf*ck of neoprene is delivered... I'll feel like a ten year-old on Christmas morning, if only for a few fleeting seconds. That alone is worth eight dollarbucks.
Growing Plants: Hydroponic gardening[edit] Hydroponic and aerated gardening systems make use of small neoprene inserts to hold plants in place while propagating cuttings, or using net cups. Inserts are relatively small, ranging in size from 1.5" to 5". Neoprene is a good choice for supporting plants because of its flexibility and softness, allowing plants to be held securely in place without the chance of causing damage to the stem. Neoprene root covers also help block out light from entering the rooting chamber of hydroponic systems, allowing for better root growth and to help deter the growth of algae
Drum Pads: Musical instrument maker Yamaha uses neoprene. Neoprene is also used for drum practice pads.
Sport Braces: Sports Also in recent years, Jug, an after-market inline skate liner manufacturer, have incorporated neoprene into the construction of some of their more popular product-lines, citing that neoprene adds reinforcement (ankle support) and guards against abrasions as few materials do. As a simple matter of durability and product lifespan, liners constructed with neoprene additives are typically more expensive than those that are not.
In the equestrian world, it is used in cinches, saddle pads, bareback pads, and many other applications in all disciplines.
It is often used in Airsoft as a protective garment, as it is thin enough to feel the hit, but thick enough to reduce the impact velocity, thus avoiding breakage of the skin by the pellet.
Training knives and swords are made of Neoprene for safe self-defense instructions, practice, sparring, and martial arts demonstrations.
Used in powerlifting and Olympic lifting. Commonly used are rehband 7mm knee and elbow sleeves. Also they are acceptable support in most powerlifting or strongman federations.
Jacking up your house: Neoprene is used as a load bearing base, usually between two prefabricated reinforced concrete elements or steel plates as well to evenly guide tension from one element to another
I like hoarding. I like little bags to stick hoarded stuff in. I like neoprene. I like hoarding little neoprene bags of stuff. I like the number 8. I keep finding ways to justify buying meh stuff. I have NO need for any of this stuff... But free shipping. And now bags for all of my meh junk? Hopefully the 30 pack will contain at least one yellow case each for my laptop, nexus 7, and Droid. (or the Samsung galaxy s5 I'm lusting after but can't get without losing my unlimited data (thanks Verizon).... If i have the perfect case I'll NEED to buy a phone at full price, right?)
First Meh Purchase- I just bought a 30 pack and even signed up for VMP. I've been watching the site for weeks waiting to make my first purchase- waiting patiently, checking nightly at 9pm PST.
How on earth was this that item? Seriously, why. Why do i need 30 neoprene bags when I only have like 6 devices between my wife and I.
@Gadgets Welcome to the fold! The first step is always the hesitant one...next thing you know you will be waiting for a table a table at T.G.I.Fridays and buy some cables, then pack of batteries, and before you know it you find yourself justifying a UV sanitizing bed vacuum to your husband on the porch while your mailman strolls down the street like your personal drug mule.
@JonT What's funny is that my wife has been desperately trying to purge stuff from our house (on advice of http://www.apartmenttherapy.com) and was on board for the 10 pack. I bought the 30 plus the 10 free. If you gave me any more than that- she might very well lose her mind.
@Eddiegrau Sort of. You can keep things cold with it, and it does retain some warmth as it is used in wet suits. As for heating , it has started to appear in electrical applications but I am not sure of it's ability to be fried. I would try on the stove of someone you disliked to begin with to be sure.
@Eddiegrau I googled it. It says neoprene is okay to 200. So as long as the dish isn't too hot it would work. But higher than that it may start to melt.
I got the thirty-bundle, but didn't get a chance to choose colors. I'd like one in black with little pink stars, one in blue and green plaid, one with puppies and kittens, one in dayglow green print, one in Georgia red and purple, . . .
@Mac454@annwat I woke up and saw I had comments to my comment and checked and saw I got 10 and thought I was special, then I read more and saw @JonT lost his shit. Went to post about this all being an ellaborate ruse for him to satisfy his Oprah fantasy, and behold others have noticed my concerns.
This forum thread is why I love meh. I've already got about 5 years worth of stocking stuffers in my closet thanks to meh - so of course I just bought 30 more. Because, math. Duh. Now I guess I'm going to need to find more friends...
I was just looking at other deal sites and one of them is selling a 4 pack of neoprene drink coaster for $3.99. Imagine how many drink coasters you could make out of 30 of these cases. The phone sized ones will easily make 2. Then instead of giving people gadget cases they don't want, you can give them drink coasters they don't want, but might actually use. All you need is scissors to cut them to size.
How my morning went. I woke up, rolled over and checked Meh.com as is my pre-pee morning ritual. Being an East Coaster I have grown accustomed to the "Sold Out, sorry Fucker" message but to my surprise it wasn't sold out! Without even fully comprehending what I was doing I click to buy them. I found that I could purchase 10 or 20 but the 30 had the "Sorry Fucker" gray on it. Without a second thought I clicked the 20 and went on with my day.
Now that I've had time to process this transaction, why the hell could I order 10 AND 20 but not 30? Meh, you are liars, if you REALLY wanted to get rid of these you would've left 30 available and set the "sorry fucker gray" on the 10 and 20.... This makes no sense Meh, but then again, neither does purchasing 30 neoprene sleeves.
@petrosclark Someone conjectured that all the packs go in the same size box. The 10 packs are the largest, most expensive ones. They make more per unit on them. The 30s are mostly cell phone cases, and they paid and make the least on them. Who knows what the truth is.
Tracking number issued, but no lift-off to Fed-Ex yet. Hubby & I are decidedly in this one for the fun of the chase, & have already planned our own little competition "drinking/unboxing party" for when they arrive. Any guesses as to how many we ordered???? We actually only need around 7 of these sleeves for ourselves, but then plan to have everybody here watching the Superbowl pick whatever they want, & then ALL of whatever is left over will be donated to the school and the library - whom will, I am quite sure, be "super excited" to get them. As I am yet another contestant whom stayed up for 2 hours the other night trying for a Fuku, only to finally achieve a connection and fail, this is the best fun we can have for this amount of $$$ AND still not feel guilty about it, since we already know we'll be "sharing the wealth". So we don't care what they look like, or what size they are - we just can't wait to "unbox" them all and giggle like little kids about what we did!
my mom is going to be pissed when she finds out i ordered 30 useless cases. I have absolutely no excuse for her either. I just saw that they were 8 dollars and a completely odd sense of need for neoprene enveloped me...
Every time I think to myself, "Wow, my shipping number still isn't valid yet, maybe I should complain," then I think to myself, "It's called Meh, not OMGFASTSHIPPINGAWESOMESTUFF.com, so I should really just relax."
@JonT There needs to be a Meh.com version of this song: "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes / And other science facts / Just repeat to yourself, 'It's just a show, I should really just relax / For Mystery Science Theater 3000.'"
trusting-incredulous-flight for a 30 pack. I'm hoping I get a bunch of large ones so I have a place to store all my fucking PB n' J Spreaders. (Oddly enough, this was one of the top pictures on my order phrase image search.)
I bought 30! Meh! I am going to share them with all my nieces and nephews. I may even pad my daughters bed with them. I will take any extras and sew them together and make a cat bed for my cats.
I stay up in anticipation. The clock strikes 12. "Majsjxiodkandispqksnbeoo I MUST CHECK MEH!"
See deal, meh.
OK, in for 30. Why? Why not? I do not know. Is @JonT going to end up sending even more than the ridiculous 30 I ordered? If he does will I be making a neoprene suit coat? Will anything in the box be useful? Why am I asking so many questions? Do I blame @joelmw for all of my questions or absurd order? Should I ask another question?
@hamjudo See my post above, quite a few uses. Of which I selected the most viable from this shape and sizes. Cheap drum set. Weed errr plant growing and ankle/wrist/knee braces.
@hamjudo I want to make a water ski carrying bag out of mine. A friend of mine who makes and sells them says her machine hates sewing neoprene, but I'm willing to give it a go for one project.
@Perkalicious I read your earlier comment to the same effect, and both times my mind has translated 'water ski' to 'jet ski' which would be amazing and likely require 30x3 plus a secret word bonus 10.
Want to know what to use these for? Wrapping your co-worker's shit in useless neoprene sleeves while they're on vacation for the week. I can successfully wrap 30 odd shaped items around the office.
With some super glue, I might even be able to make it really fun.
I just figured out what happened. You guys went to CES and bought all the leftover swag. Vendors don't have to haul it home, Meh has several metric tons of Stuff, and we'll get it in installments. Amirite?
NO Idea what I just bought, so I bought 2.. Gotta be something in there JUST FOR ME!! And surely a few of my friends @ 2 / 30 packs..LOL...The real joy of buying meh crap, is... It takes so long to get there, when it arrives, it is almost like a Surprise Party.. Never know what is gonna be in the box...
@narfcake No complaints from me, I saved $3 by only getting a 10 pack. When I think of it, I would have bit on a lot of these sold out items. But since I didn't my $$ is in my bank and not meh's. So great job meh on another sellout!!!!
After doing some more quick math, it looks like Meh had roughly 175,000 of these and there were 5000+ lucky recipients getting way more than any individual needs, PLUS however many @JonT gave away.
Still amazes me they sold so cheap, the reviews on some of the Built NY stuff are decent.
@Stallion i've had a few built producs before. they can have a plasticky smell when they first arrive, but they are reasonably well built and protective. i'm really hoping i get one of the 15 inch laptop sleeves with handles.
@vampje Same here, bought my wife a Black Friday laptop for Xmas and she has been shopping a sleeve type bag with a handle. Fingers crossed I get one, AND it doesn't take too long to arrive.
@atravis6 would be great to set up an exchange forum. I bought 30+ the "bath" thing and already have a lot of sleeves. Am looking for an iPad Air2 also...
@atravis6 I really don't know the set up here at meh. New here, my first purchase. Maybe ask for a VMP Lounge for special posting/back & forth thing like this!?!
@mamawoot actually the ups guy only delivers it to your local post office, this is smartpost so your usps guy will bring it to your door in about 2 weeks
Mine arrived 3 days early. I received the 30 pack that I ordered, but the free 10 pack that I “won” from JonT for being spiteful is coming in a separate package. The contents break down like this:
2 16” laptop sleeves 3 10” tablet envelopes 4 twist top sleeves for 11” MacBook Air 10 slim sleeves for various Kindles 7 slim covers for various Kindles 3 twist top sleeves - Fire 1 stretch cover – Fire
Over 1/3 of these are of the black/white polka dot scheme, and there are a lot of duplicate patterns amongst the same size items, but I’m happy with them. I will spend next week passing these out to friends and random strangers.
I think some poor new employee at Meh. is using my 30lb box of 90 sleeves for a desk. At least for the past 8 days since "label (was) created." Or, They're using 90 sleeves as padding to ship me something else that weighs 30lbs. Bacon, hopefully.
No, I don't know what I'm going to do with 90 sleeves either, but at least I'll have options. Mwahh ha ha.
@TheCO2 Yeah, but they didn't offer us bacon, did they. If they'd offered bacon, it would have sold out so fast we'd never have heard the END of it from the rabid East Coasters.
@TheCO2 Y'know, I pimped the Bakon vodka when it first came out, and I love those guys, but honestly, it's just not that drinkable. Bacon is my spirit animal, but outside of using it for bloody marys, it's hard to find a good use for the Bakon vodka. Now, bacon chocolate, that's a whole other thing.
@Trin We were talking about it, with a bartender, when it first came out and she gave us a small glass to try some, because we didn't think it could really taste like bacon, but it sure does. You're right, though, it really isn't drinkable, by itself. We were trying to figure out, at the time, what all it could be used for and could only come up with Bloody Marys.
Why, these aren't ugly. These are very nice. I'm not usually lucky with random lots but I got 3 of what I was hoping to get, bright floral cases (reminds me somewhat of Andy Warhol's flowers) for a 16" laptop. My bath runneth over but, being a greedy meher, still looking forward to opening the box of 10 @JonT (thank you!) was good enough to gift me.
@Alien These are damn good! except for the amount of odor... really need to wash 15 of them before use, and give out the other 15 asap. I hate my small apartment full of formaldehyde :'<
@mediocrebot Wait a minute! $26383/3224=$8 and change which means almost everyone went with a 30 pack, which means 3224x30 sleeves=96000+!!!! How many hundreds of thousands of these darn things did you guys buy!!!???
@mediocrebot I was going to buy the 30, but apparently that's sold out? Settled for the 10. Geez, I really bought into this whole taking a bath thing, didn't I?
My dad gave me 3 laptop bags that will probably never get used while I'm bathing, much less carrying my computers. I'm pretty sure I don't need 30 more cases for the bathtub or shower or carrying my laptop around in. On the other hand, my dog did chew a small chunk out of the laptop bag I do use, so taking a bath with it is out of the question, unless I want the stuff inside to get wet. Meh!
I have a feeling that the 5 trillion pieces of floating plastic trash in the ocean is now going to be 5.1 trillion pieces thanks to Meh...you anti-eco bastards!!!! What the @#%! am I gonna do with 30 neoprene cases!?????? You're geniuses!!!! It's like Homer when he bought the extended warranty - How can I lose???? A lot of people we know are going to be getting neoprene cases for and next Christmas too - excellent Secret Santa gifts...BOOM Christmas shopping done 354 days early! I love you meh! And it'll be priceless - they'll all look quizzically at each other when they notice they all have similar neoprene cases for their junk...fuck 'em, it's the thought that counts!
My daughter made me buy 30. She's hoping there is a sleeve for her 17 inch laptop. 2 of them, would be nice, 1 for her, 1 for me. I actually have 2 of these for my iPad that I never use. I perfer my folding case with built in stand.
I tried looking for craft ideas to recycle these into though. The only thing I could think of was buy 90 and sew them together like a quilt to make a floor mat to lay on, do yoga, etc.
I was actually looking to buy a sleeve for the Kindle my wife got for Christmas. Judging by the comments so far, at 1/30 useful, I'm ahead of most of the folks buying so far.
When are people going to catch on that using the word bath isn't going to magically net them a free 10 pack. So far more people have gotten it for calling the sleeves junk. So according to science, if I call these cheap crappy bubble bath substitute, I will maximize my chances of being noticed. Please notice me. I want to feel special. And have extra sleeves.
@undecipher They do float, but not bubble. In fact even burning it is more a chemical smoldering that is not healthy to breathe. So really it cannot be a crappy bubble bath substitute. You could however make a duck with enough glue.
It's hilarious how everyone is trying to get free ones in addition to the ones they already didn't want but bought anyway. Meh has twisted our minds! What kind of weird science is this?!
I know it's completely crazy but I got 90 and I'm EXCITED AS HELL to get them. The more I think about it the more excited I get -- which is the opposite of how things usually work. I think I'm going to have an unboxing party.
I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do with all the the extras after I pick out the 1 or 2 I'm hoping will be useful to me. I've decided they will do nicely for gift bags to hold many of the smaller meh gifts I'm sure everyone who knows me will be receiving for various holidays this year.... It's going to be a very meh year...
Oh mann. I'm think i'll just start walking up to cafes and giving one to everyone with a laptop/tablet out. Let it rain neoprene sleeves! [throws sleeves in the air as my theme song plays in the background]
In for 60, an nice supply of gifts for the inevitable holiday parties and such. "Oh you don't have a 13" laptop? Wait, you don't like pink plaid? Oh..."
I said "bath" out loud and now I have a small Aussie trying her darnedest to crawl under the bed. I received the booger green version with the cartoon skulls on it in my Kickstarter Fuku. It's cute!
I wonder if I can make beer can coozy things with some of them? Edit--fussy-dazzle-foot. Is this a sign I need to try to make slippers, too?
@Zebra I've also been known to hammer a nail into the wall with a coffee cup, so I think my husband might argue the genius ideas part. I keep telling him monkeys use whatever tools are at hand. HE says "then USE THE PROPER TOOLS!" He might have a point, says the woman who hung 11 pictures with her coffee cup and only had to worry about getting the cup into the dishwasher instead of returning his tools to the proper place.
@LaVikinga This is a Tim Allen standup comedy bit. Seriously. We saw him in a club before he became famous. He maintains that a woman needs only two things for stuff around the house: a coffee mug and a butter knife. Men need the proper tool, and they'll take three hours at the hardware store to find and get it. That's the difference between men and women.
@SIMBM I agree with that in a way. I see Mrs. cengland0 prying open jars with steak knives. She will use a butter knife instead of a screwdriver. Pliers instead of a wrench. It puts chills up my spine but what can you do?!?!?!
@SIMBM I finally broke down and bought myself a very petite hammer which conventiently has a screwdriver with changeable tips hidden in the handle. Fact is, I'm busy (lazy) and it's easy to make a tool than go get a tool and then worry about him finding it three weeks later hidden between the couch cushions because I got side tracked.
@LaVikinga That gives me a great idea at least for one of them with a zipper. I have a cordless drill/screwdriver and it has a lot of different attachments (torque, phillips, standard, extensions, etc). I can just put them in one of these cases and store it with the tool.
@cengland0 Holy smokes! I can incorporate your idea for my Dremel and all its extra parts which don't want to stay secure in the case. You can add Velcro pretty easily if no zippered cases show up at your door.
I just thought...As a first year teacher these will make great "prizes" for my students. I feel they might actually think they are worth something and worth doing their math,silly little humans! Too pricey for 90 on a teachers salary though! In for 30
so if you'll do anything to get rid of these does that mean hypothetically all I would have to do is ask and you would send @unixrab a couple (hundred)?
@RedHot Correct! my doorbell has a motion sensor ( http://ring.com ) I'm alerted when any person steps into my yard or driveway.... not to mention that I know both the UPS drivers that cover my house, and the FedEx guy (Steve) who always pulls into the driveway instead of parking on the street. Between woot and amazon prime, They're here a lot.
So, impaired by NyQuil, I still managed to wake up to turn on my laptop to check the site at 11 CST last night. Then apparently fell right back to sleep and dreamt that I had seen today's deal. I need help.
Then this morning, when I couldn't remember what the deal was, I plugged in my now dead laptop and, scrolling through the product photos, inadvertantly got a closeup of someone's ass first thing in the morning. haha, I think I'm going back to bed now
@neuromancer I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who has had dreams about this place! And yeah, I'd like to see one of those for sale even if just for the comments
Not sure these were in equal lots, but since they were bucketed in 10, 20, and 30 units (and I'm getting super-mathy here), the average qty was 20. Meh had 5991 total sales, which means they had approximately 119,860 of those neoprene things. Almost 120K? Is that possible?
@ACraigL income divided by units sold is 8.4. Surprising that it's above 8 given that 30 were cheaper than 10, but it still looks like the average wasn't too far off from 30.
Now I wonder, did they take into account all the freebies @JonT gave away and remove them from inventory before selling out? Or did our resident Oprah just screw himself big time...
@Cinoclav I'm guessing they are accounted for. I checked my order status to follow up on an older order, and saw the 10 pack from @JonT as a placed order for $0.
I went to bed at 10:30 last night (WAY early for me) and woke up unexpectedly at 12:01am ET. I checked the site and in my sleepy state I was highly confused as to WTF this deal even was. Now that I see what the shit actually is, it's long since sold out... And I want some. Damn. Lesson learned, never go to bed early and/or never check Meh without being fully coherent.
Goddamn, shipped already?! That's impressive as hell. I'm so excited. Sure, this stuff is going to be flooding eBay, but I'm in a bunch of crafting groups where people buy stuff at or slightly below retail to help out fellow crafters. I'm hoping to profit a hundo or so from this. And boy do I need it.
@narfcake Im also seeing weird tracking # things. One package shows "Shipping info sent on 1/14" but the other two return a "This tracking number cannot be found" error...
@heli0s Yeah, it's a bit strange, but so long as it won't end up taking almost 6-weeks like what happened with some randoms at shirt.woot before, I'm fine.
@TheCO2 You and @thumperchick are quite the troopers in dealing with their repeated blunders! In my case, it wasn't anything they had to print or procure; just pack. And it's not like there was any server-overload-crashing issues like it was with TeeTurtle 1.0 that could be blamed on either.
@juststephen Yes, label created 1/14, but FedEx didn’t receive until 1/16. It was handed off to USPS early on Saturday and delivered same day. The FedEx site updated, but USPS sent me text updates after they got it, so I didn’t keep checking the FedEx tracking page.
I suddenly have a need to buy 27 kindles and 3 gps units. You guys that received sleeves for apple products or netbooks/laptops....consider yourself lucky!
@griffinua LOL, the Meh bundle should have just straight said "30 Kindle Fire cases, HD and non-HD." What size are the GPS sleeves? I didn't get any of those. I did get some other stuff, but mostly Kindle Fire 7" cases.
Nothing makes me wonder why I bought these quite as much as looking at 30 sleeves taking up nearly two cubic feet of space... and having no use for a single one. Meh pulled the wool over our eyes! Their junk is now our junk! ... I think I've discovered their (not so secret) business plan.
And just for fun I did a little math... so let's say my box of 30 is 1.7 cubic feet. And let's say they sold 120000 sleeves in about 4000 boxes... that's 6800 ft3... or the capacity of two 53' tractor trailers shipped from China, to Built's warehouse, to Meh's warehouse, to our houses for $8 per box. Someone lost some money along the line. O_O
@johnamo I need to do a math about the amount of formaldehyde produced by 120000 sleeves. formaldehyde is easy to be removed in water. but chronic inhalation of formaldehyde is carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic. Lovely things just need to do the laundry :P
Got mine today!!! The cats love the box and I love my cases. :-) I was hoping for a 13" case, but oh well! More than pleased with my purchase. Meh for life!
@Dash@redhot@Karzan@cengland ... Children Listen. @JonTknows if any unwanted packages show up at my door - They get refused all the way back to Texas.... on meh's dime. Now...go play in the street.
@unixrab Not sure you can do that if it gets delivered when you are not home. They will just leave it by your front door. Do you work at home so you're certain you'll be there to refuse the package?
Just to be clear, I have absolutely no clue of what was my rad purchase, but hey, 30 for $8 vs. 20 for $9, I'm in. And I guess it is excitable-babbling-stitch.
@ggomes and then, GOD F*CKING DAMNIT, I bought 10 more. Meh, just send me like a hundred and I swear I'll take 50 back to Brazil and make a parade of of fucking neoprene. Because fuck my money, that's why!
I was tempted, if it wasn't clear in the past hints I donate/give away virtually all my Mehs to my employees or goodwill ( with exception of 2 of 4 rc helis, 1 of 3 comforters, and as of Friday my Dyson ) but this would be a stretch.
@JonT Wait, what?? While I appreciate your generosity, don't send me your crap to dispose of. Or cram into my already overflowing apartment full of crap I actually bought that I don't know what to do with LOL Meh damn! You guys must have like 5 million of these.
@lichme I got one in FUKU #2 and I tried to give it away and was unsuccessful. I still have it by the front door ready to give it away to the first person that comes to the house that has anything that will fit in it.
Hmmm...3 of the 30 packs. I think I have a death wish. Seriously...it's a good thing I do sell at flea markets...although it's usually used, vintage or antiques. Oh well, might as well throw something completely wild and interesting into the mix.
tenacious-husky-berserker
(yeah, I have to be beserk to buy that many cases...just can't wait to see what the package looks like when it arrives)
I don't own a tablet, e-reader, or laptop. I don't know what I would do with them, but I strangely want some. Gf said she gives her dog a bath. I told her, "If the tub isn't full of water, it's a shower." "It would be weird to say I'm giving my dog a shower." So, I think the secret word should be shower.
Sorry meh. Couldn't convince my wife that these are worth taking up space in the apartment. I think she still resents the corner of the bedroom filled with two fukus.
Well, the zipper on my laptop sleeve is coming apart. I figure instead of going to Target and buying one laptop sleeve for $10, I might as well buy 30 sleeves from Meh for $8 and hope that at least one of those is a laptop sleeve.
I would absolutely love to buy 90, but my house is already full of enough crap. Maybe I could have them shipped directly to the donation center down the street...
So you're trying to get rid of them, why can I only buy 90? I wanted over 9000! Or you know, maybe 300? Just enough to make my family hate me more than they already do.
@djslack ornery-uppity-show leads to this image: from an article entitled "Jews alive and kicking, to dismay of many". A bit much for my first try at the order image game.
Big charity garage sale coming up in March. A huge stash of these might just raise some money for our resource center on ASD! In for the max! Sorry I missed out on the bath deal, though. Er, unless I DIDN'T miss out!
strange-foggy-dove -- Yup, that sounds like me. Looks as though I was lucky to get in for 30, bath or no bath. Wish I had seen that the 20 packs have more of the large ones. Ah, well. Our super garage sale for Autism Spectrum Disorders will certainly benefit from whatever I get. In fact, I'll be unloading tons of assorted crap to the sale. Maybe I'll finally be able to see the floor in the spare room. I think it's got carpet, but I'm not quite sure....
I don't need them. I bought 30 of them. Then I scrambled to figure out what to do with them. BOOM! Some night when my husband is sleeping all of his electronics and cords and everything will be put into sleeves! MUHAWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
And that might be the worst practical joke ever. :-(
@johnvoliva I'm not currently employed. Maybe I could use them as business card holders (for my cards) to hand to potential employers? Think that would that help my employment chances???
Bought 30. went back for 60 more. I need help. Keep the alternate use ideas coming, I'll need them. Liked the Halloween idea best...cheaper than candy.
Sooo like, for $8, that's about a quarter dollar for each. This reminds me of 2002? when I bought 15 stupid logitech travel mice for $10 or something ridiculous. I gave them out as "awards" for LAN parties... maybe I'll use these as "gifts" too and the world will be happy. Or, maybe they'll sit in a fucking closet and collect dust.
I'm embarrassed to ask but why does everyone keep saying Bath? I know I'll feel stupid when you tell me.
I read the description over and over again but I don't see anything about that other than "We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair." Nothing about getting rewarded in any way for saying that word.
@cengland0 Read the top few bits of this chat (the bits that are hidden because this chat is getting long). @JonT is giving cases away to people who say the secret words!
@curtise I see @JonT giving some away but only to the first person that said Bath. Others have said it too so it appears to be more random than anything else. It's almost annoying to see that stupid Bath word being said over and over again from people trying to get something for free. I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago and I'm still reading these stupid messages trying to figure out what is going on.
North Dakota is missing out on all the fun! You should unload all the extras by sending packages to random people there. Come to think of it, I should do that with my extras.
@etnekoi first comment was bath, he got 10 sleeves for free. and then @jonT went all oprah and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves
There must really be a lot of these things, considering all of them that have been given away and bought. I'm scared to ask where they really came from.
Finally! I've been waiting for meh to offer this deal for MONTHS! I have thirty random electronics that desperately need neoprene cases, in for thirty.
This pleases me greatly. The next time I fail to get a fucking fukubukuro, at least I'll rest easy knowing that I didn't get a bag full of these damn things.
@cengland0 That's my point. There's no way that they'll sell out of this pile of wasted resources, which means the next FUKU will probably be boxed using these things for shipping peanuts. Actually, that's a great idea on how to get rid of them, if I do say so myself.
I should have the girls from my Brownie Troop sell this crap to raise money instead of the small box of 20 cookies for $4.00 that we have to beg people to buy right now!
@Purplefroggie Your troop will make a hell of a lot more than the measly $.70 per box they get for being GSA slaves. And you won't have to answer questions about why you don't have the same cookies as the troops using the other bakery.
@PurplePawprints Not only that but they contain less ingredients to be grilled about becuase they insist that thier kids are allergic to everything under the sun, including FUN!
@Purplefroggie You're not kidding! I got so tired of hearing about how 'we' should sell sugar-free or gluten-free stuff. Our troop had a gluten-free kind last year that we couldn't give away. It was nasty. Then, this year, they do all these commercials about three new kinds of cookies, but don't mention in the ad that one bakery makes two of them and another only makes one. So, some troops have two new kinds, some only have one, and depending on your council, you may have no new cookies. I'll pulled my daughter out this year, actually. I put her in ballet because I figured dealing with dance moms would be less stress after four years of GS.
@PurplePawprints I agree! It is a sad world we live in when more people are willing to buy this crap in hopes that ONE sleeve will work for them but won't buy any damn cookies to help a 7 year old get her badge! it only takes 30 boxes to get it! We didn't get any new cookies this year, I didn't know they existed! Be careful ballet moms can be brutal, and those moms definitely don't let thier kids eat GS cookies....or anything but water for that matter!!
@Purplefroggie@PurplePawprints ... what I say to cute kids selling cookies: "How 'bout we act like you sold me 3 boxes of cookies but I'll just give you $12 so your troop can keep it all." BTW, I'm seeing purple for some reason...
@Purplefroggie I never really had a problem getting people to buy, to be honest. My daughter always got at least the 200+ patch and received the 300+ patch one year and the 400+ patch another year. My issue is how much work the girls (mostly the parents though) have to do for so little return. @RedOak You're a good person. We'd always have a couple people that would donate at the booths and you have no idea how much that is appreciated. @Purplefroggie I'm sure it's different at other places, but the studio that my daughter goes to has students of all sizes and is pretty awesome. She's only been in a couple months, but I don't think food issues is where the craziness will be.
@PurplePawprints 1) Imagine what it's like to have to eat gluten free--all of the time. 2) Some of us, including kids, have serious medical reasons. But, yeah, those other people bother us too. 3) Honestly, this is how I'm assured when eating a typical bread or pastry that it's probably safe: it tastes not quite right and it doesn't have the right texture. 4) On the other hand, gluten-free doesn't have to taste like crap, and the slavemasters at the GSA don't get any points for their grand gesture. I think they have the resources to do it right. If they don't do it right, that's on them; and certainly not on the folks who (like me) get hit up by well-meaning, mostly ignorant, friends who say, "I've got gluten-free!" (accompanied by big-shit-eating grin; irony in the next sentence) Like just because it's gluten-free, I should lift my hands, praise Jesus, buy a couple of way-overpriced boxes and eat that cardboard shit.
@PurplePawprints a coworker is selling... I mean a coworker's daughter is selling cookies, but the list doesn't have any of the new flavors. I was intrigued by the Trios (peanut butter/oatmeal/chocolate chip) but no joy.
@PurplePawprints we have 4 kids, 3 of them girls... thankfully thru the scout stage. So I know well the GS cookie selling routine. We always told ourselves they were learning important selling/life skills, but the kids sure did have to work hard to make a buck in that low margin cookie racket.
@nadroj we were sensitive to that fellow parent shake-down at the office thing since we hated it when other parents did it to us. Kinda misses the point of forcing ("encouraging") the kids to learn some skills.
On my orders page it appears to say 130 @ $8 (it's actually 1 30 @ $8) and I was like "130 sleeves...my wife is going to kill me!", then I was like "30 sleeves...my wife is going to kill me!" ;)
I literally just said, 'Nooooooooooo!' as I bought another 30.
I'll probably take these to a local college and dump them there for students to use. If I can find one or two that's not to hideous that I can use, I'll consider it a win.
If we get all million of these to sell out can we get some of their other stuff next time? Wine totes and pot holders would get me to buy at least another 30.
I just woke up. Is this real life? Only a crazy person wouldn't want to pay a mere pittance to fill their house with these things. I bet some of them would even make great slippers and mittens.
@MsTinkles "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Neoprene: Sporty looks are in! Not every bikini has to be oozing with femininity or sex appeal. You can be comfortable and fit in this season’s neoprene [...]. Most of these come in great neon colors also!
Best use of neoprene I have found (aside from the bondage toys sold on Amazon UK) yet.
I was just about to click buy on the 20 pack and the pricing sent me back to the write up. What is ANYONE going to do with 30 of these ridiculous things? I'll find out soon, I guess. I hope they come in yellow.
Grabbed 30, just because I thought it might be amusing to have more sleeves to put random stuff in. Who knows, I'll probably never use them. I imagine a lot of them will be for Apple devices that I will never have.
I've never bought anything from you all before but my two and three year olds are going to love going through these and putting stuff in them. Cheap entertainment win. Maybe I'll get a few free moments. Thanks y'all.
You have got to be kidding. No one in their right mind would buy one of these, let alone 30. This reminds me of Wayne's World: "A gun rack? I do not own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXuCgD4cbHs
I've bought 30 and shipped them to the office. I'll take what I want and let the scavengers in the adjacent cubes take their pick, then schlep the rest to some donation site.
$8 is worth it to replace my current aging tablet case. Everything else is gravy.
My first Meh post. Darn thing sold out while I was reading the comments. Meh. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to stay dirty. No bath for me or my girls. Congrats on unloading those things. You guys rock.
Is it safe to post without getting another 10 thrown at you? Good, because I still have no idea why I bought a 30 pack. I blame my cats for depriving me of sleep.
@LionMan The free 10s appear to have occured in response to fresh posts when @johnt rolled into work. The very early posts/comments didn't get any, nor did later ones.
@lowerone yes ... they're attempting to dump it in my yard for the pittance of shipping costs...There's probably some EPA loophole that allows them to ship stuff "free" to get rid of it. meh indeed
I have a tracking number, and according to fedex the box weighs 30 pounds. I'm a little frightened.. (although 90 individual tracking numbers would have been far more amusing)
So, I checked these things out on feebay.. Selling presently for a low of $1 for some, and a high of $23 for others. I imagine that by early February, there will be such a glut of these that the average selling price for ANY will be hovering at about a buck... Well, some folks will at least get their investment back, but no profit attached...
My 33.5 lbs of Mehrrific BuiltNY sleeves are ON THE WAY. I am happy. I am also freaked out. And a big shout out to the other 90 sleeve purchasers. Also, bacon.
@mikibell@andrewkl I love snow. This probably is my fault. It's likely to get worse before it gets better, what with trying to get the snow to descend all the way south to Texas. Sorry about that.
@joelmw I'm cool with the snow....As long as i don't have to drive in it. I'll pack some Kindle sleeves full of the stuff, and send it your way.. More than enough to go 'round if this storm ever gets going. Not a flake in the sky right now (7PM Monday)..
I got 31 in my 30 pack...so there! :-) Got a really nice assortment too, though only 1 will actually fit something I own (Ipad). However, I plan on using a lot of the Kindle sleeves to put camera lenses in when I pack them in something other than their actual lens cases. Will be a nice little extra layer of protection without taking up nearly the room of the actual lens cases. Also, while some of the patterns I received were quite ugh, a lot of them, I thought, were perfectly nice. And those that are ugh and of no use to me are going to my stepmom who will chuck them off a Mardi Gras float, along with the beads and regular throws, a few weeks from now. Very, very happy with this purchase. It makes up for the broken fan switch on my first Meh purchase.
@KDemo I mostly watch my dog...Comet...which probably isn't as cool but is truthful. I do own a telescope, though...Thanks for the tip but seems I read it too late...
You guys rock! One of my neoprene items is an electronic accessories zippered organizer which is perfect for storing my Innergie mcube pro inflight. And they both came today. Yay!
The deal is terrific. I can't thank you too much, Meh.
Just didn't expect the amount of odor produced by 30 packs of sealed neoprene spared in my studio... :'o
Even with the well-designed odor adsorbent, I need to hang some of them in my bathroom, and open the window during a snow shower. Not bad for me at all. I really like these little bags... Just to make sure I don't breath in more of the odor... Need to give out the rest asap since I cant keep them for long in a closed environment. Just seal them well in the box at the moment. ;)
Not sure if you guys know how to remove the odor ;D
I got 10 of the stretch kindle covers, thinking if I can use them for notebook cover, if i have the right size book...or a good cover for some large-sized portable hard drive (but mine is smaller...).
Really got plenty of nice gifts for friends...awesome deal...
@joebootoo lol, the boy was also not amused, until i told him i might have a laptop sleeve for him. i have a sleeve for him, but it is poppies, not sure how he will feel about that.
Wanted a 16" Laptop Sleeve if anyone is looking to trade one? Seems I got everything but the one thing I really "needed". I have a nice 13" Laptop/Macbook zipper sleeve (pink/red pluses design) as well as a bunch of Kindle cases and others if anyone would like those.
I have three of the 16" laptop sleeves with the zipper side, and only need one. I'd be glad to trade one of the other two 16" sleeves for your 13" Macbook sleeve. Full disclosure: All my 16" sleeves are the poppy design, I'm afraid. I like the print, but it's possibly only appealing to us girls. But of you would like a 16" poppy laptop case, I'm up for a trade!
@axleman1011 From the item description: "We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair." Then somebody said 'bath' in reference to the item description and was informed it was a secret word and that they'd be receiving a bonus ten-pack. You know, to take a bath with.
@cl4rk3 You're trying too hard. I meant what I said. Straight into the garbage. Who wants overpriced, neoprene craps like this where you can't even choose the size. I guess nearly 2 sheeple.
I guess I need a sleeve for my laptop... ... and maybe I can find 29 other thing to put in the other pieces... You guys have been winning all my money lately.
I ordered 30 for $8 - the confirmation pop up said I ordered 10 for $8 - however the details page said 30 so I'm fine - just thought you'd like to know the order page seemed a bit wonky.
Ahahaha in for 30 cause of the fantastic write up. And cause it's a buck cheaper than 20. Bargain! My wife will cannibalize the zippers (are there zippers on any of them?) For her other projects
I pulled the trigger on a 20 pack because 30 would be overboard for me. Who knows what I plan on doing with them . I just hope @JonT is happy that I am getting these off his hands
@j8048188 Yes you do! Gift them, give them away at work, sell them on ebay, craigslist, freecycle them. Feed them to your siblings. See how well they burn. Jump on them. Use them to go sledding. Decorate a tree with them.
@theco2@narfcake I considered it. But I already got one of those "Why are you buying a bunch of crap we don't need? I would tell you not to buy it but I don't want to get in an argument about something so stupid." looks just buying 1 of the 30 packs.
@JonT I don't know whether I love you or hate you. For now I will go with love, but the day I get them, it might be hate. I guess that all depends on whether or not every single one of them comes in handy.
@chokcheesecake Pretty small - neoprene compresses very well :) The retail packaging is the only thing keeping meh from just rolling them all into a ball and covering in duct tape and writing your name/address on the outside. Would be great fun for the UPS guys :)
@klickster68 I would gladly accept a duct taped ball of neoprene. And if meh could put the bt headphones I bought a few days ago in said ball to save some space, even better! :) Actually, maybe they could use the cases as packaging for my next 30 purchases
In for 30. At my house, we've got a 10", two 11.6", a 14", and two 15" laptops, plus two 7" android tablets and a regular iPad. So some devices be getting new neoprene cases. Now to wait and see which ones get clothed and which ones stay naked...
In the beginning of Mediocre, why am I thinking that a laptop sleeve was the first thing that got to the new warehouse? Are these things like tribbles? They multiplied?
@JonT How about you send me 10 for free, so I can get them off your hands much quicker and easier. If not then you can tell me a secret word, and then I'll say it back to you so I can get them off your hands. Yeah???
I just ordered 60 of these things. I work in a fairly large IT department, so any of them I don't want will be [lovingly] gifted to our techs. Heck, I could probably have done with another 120 of them and given them out to all the site-based support personnel too.
Ha!. My last post I wondered if you could curse, and he's swearing in the description! Feels Goodman. I can't buy these though--I still have 6 HP touchpad sleeves I got a good deal on.
By my guess which is a average of 23 per order as many purchased 10 or 30 but not so much 20+ the random few frees tossed out multiplied by the current 1850ish orders is over 42,000 of these so far. I wonder how many of these DO fit into a shipping container. Edit Shame Groupon wasn't trying to sell these.
Fun fact about baths: President Taft needed to get a larger one installed in the White House because he was too fat to fit into the old one! Surely, though, one could have constructed a moomoo to fit him using the cloth/cloth-like substance from these cases given how many of them Meh has.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with all of the extras... @jonT are there any in camo or orange? I'll sew a few together for a ragtag hunting dog vest. Ha
I really, REALLY don't need these..... hummm, but with free shipping I must buy something before time runs out! Hmmm.. ok Moving in a month, could use these for packing and keeping my dishes safe?....... meh. Almost to the point of useless purchase......
@Shata Nah, you'll spend more on dedicated packing materials. You could put a picture frame in these then stack in between other frames. I used a surplus of mouse pads to pack last time I moved. So handy.
So I bought 30... But I want 60 more... But I don't want to spend the extra 16 dollars... I don't know what I'd do with these. I certainly wouldn't use them for their intended purpose.
@BillLehecka I just bought 30 more. unbalanced-spectacular-strudel. You know you want to see this sell out. If they don't the next Fukus will be full of them.
So, if they sold 2,700 of these and everyone just bought ten (most bought 30, more than likely, though) it'd be 27,000 of these sitting in their warehouse.
If everyone bought 30, a more likely scenario, that'd be at least 81,000. Whew. And they're still not out of stock.
@christinerenee Nothing is stopping you from making another account to buy more. Sure you have to pay another $5 for shipping but $29 for 90 is still a pretty good deal.
@juststephen if you do the math the average price seems to be just over $8, which currently means they have sold over 90,000 of these things. I'd love to see what 90,000 of them looked like in a giant pile.
@metaphore Clearly I was wrong about having enough willpower. I opened a second account so I could order another 90. But it's going to be awesome. I'm going to have an unboxing party and everyone is going home protected.
now my sleeves can have sleeves! and for $8, my sleeves' sleeves can have sleeves! ever notice that saying a word over and over again just makes it look and sound strange?
except for meh. i can say meh all day and it's still meh. meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh.
If I lived in North Dakota, I would purchase this just so it would no longer be the only state where none of these are headed. Thankfully I don't live there, so I have absolutely no reason to give you my money.
I already have Built NY totes for both wine bottles and six packs of beer. Now I can use my thirty new totes to also transport liquor bottles so I have a portable full bar!
Oh, what the hell. I'll bite. Hard. In for 2x30. My wife is going to kill me when she sees 60 of these things. She's going to give me the "WTF is wrong with you??" look!
I already got "Why did we need two vacuums?" um... gifts? I don't know...
I needed them to clean up after the neoprene bath I didn't know I was going to take?
I don't know enough people to justify buying any of these at the shot ONE of them will fit my tablet and not make me look like a 7 year old princess with a fetish for sparkly purple things, and I don't possess the needleworking skills to turn the other [9, 19, deargodpleasedosomethingwiththeseother29] into a dog bed or circus tent.
Do I need 30 of these? No. But here they come anyway. military-external-earwig I am a true VMP sucker. Oh, and 'Bath,' because I really don't need 40 of these.
@mbombley You can order 3x 30 packs in a single order. If you want more than 90 you'll have to make another account and can place another order of up to 90.
@metaphore Thx... I just realized that 90 was the limit. If they want a tax donation for all the remaining ones, they can email me. :) I will gladly take them off their hands and they can write off the full retail price!!! For now, I will stick with my 90! I will have a bunch of happy teachers and kids next week!
Oh what the hey, I'm in for 30. Probably going to make it rain cases. Not going to take a bath in them. Or maybe I will. At the least, some poor schmuck is going to be in for a surprise come white elephant gift exchange time.
Did you know, according to Wikipedia, that in Bath, Somerset, England, a bunch of stuff happened? It's, like, old or something, too. Really. You can look it up.
@peaceetc I read it multiple times. I've used that example in debates with people from the UK who somehow think we need more gun control. That blood bath was done with explosives and not guns so the point I was making is that you don't need guns to kill people. People in China are killing students with cleavers because guns are not available. It's sad but people will find a way to harm innocent people.
I have no idea what just came over me. In for 3x30=90
90 of these. Because you know what? 90 of them in a box will still be under the price limit for a white elephant gift exchange I participate in. Also, hey, I can be that person. For everyone. Ever.
I'm glad I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check meh. Now I'm going back to sleep laughing, with 30 neoprene sleeves on the way. Fucking chumps didn't know I had saved up $375 in my sleeves fund to spend this afternoon.
This inspires an idea for a flash game where you play as Irk and you have to move to avoid neoprene sleeves being thrown at you by the Meh staff. Pay me for this idea in royalties, or really anything but sleeves, thanks.
So, I've been kicking myself for being busy and having a life and missing some good deals. And then I check tonight... and ta-da... a truly crapalicious deal. Do I need these? No. I have electronic thingies, but never use a sleeve. Sleeves are for shirts. But I missed so many good Mehs, and well... in for 30.
Since I miss out on all the other nights of meh products to the Californians... guess I'm in for 30! Can't let California be the only state to have bath toys!
I love Repac bags and eBags cubes for packing and organization. I figure some of these will be nearly free substitutes. They don't HAVE to be used for electronics.
I shall go start a Ponterest board of how to make amazing stuff from these, just like the current trend here of making stuff out of used pallets.
So i actually do need one of these for my netbook, so i bought 30 to increase the odds of getting the one i need. But now that i'm thinking about it, even if i "win", what the hell am i going to do with the other 29? I don't have that many friends.
Just got home decided to check out meh built sleeves meh! don't need any but ... in for 30 serious impulse buy, will be fun to see if I can give them away .
I'm kind of confused as to how 30 is sold out but 20 and 10 are not. Couldn't you just combine a 20 and a 10 and save yourselves the torture of being buried by neoprene any longer than you already have?
@shellzy The 30 pack has mostly small sleeves so they fit in the box and keeps the weight down while the 10 pack has a greater % of large sleeves. The twenty pack costs more than the 30 pack because instead of using air packets to keep the box contents secure, they use 20 extra sleeves as filler.
@iggy71@JonT no! Say it ain't so! I want larger sleeves and bags, along with the cases and more, if the photos are to be believed. Ordered, tried to post several times to no avail, slept a couple hours, then couldn't resist checking in before heading off to work. What a non-meh thread!! And since I recently moved to the " 'hood ", I have to add, in the parlance of the lil' groms around here:
Baff. Which is what "bath" now sounds like coming out of my mouf. And because VMP status isn't enough. I want 10 more!!
I have an empty room in my house I would love to fill up with these and take a bath in. Are there any more secret words? Pineapple? Stapler? Umbrella? I love lamp? Brick are you just saying names of things you see around the room. In all honestly if I hit a secret word send as many as you please! I have plans for these bad boys..
I didn't even know I needed these, but there they are I must have them. I don't even know what I am getting yet I ordered them. I want to complain about these NOT being sold out by the time I woke up!!!!
@JonT Hey, I just had an amazing idea for how to get rid of these things: Use them as padding for shipping stuff people actually want! Sure, they're heavier and probably more expensive than peanuts, but you'll get enough space in your warehouse to play Settlers of Catan again.
If I comment maybe I will get a few more of these????? I am still not sure what I am going to do with 60 of them - Yes I am a hoarder and bought 2 - lots of 30! I guess I will just stitch them all together and create a wet suit or a bath mat.... or should I say Flea Bath....
They must have had millions of cases to unload. I would really like to know the story behind such a fiasco. If they can unload that many and rake in $50523, they had to have made a profit, but it couldn't be much, considering all of them that were given away and as cheap as they were.
@theco2 thankfully these people live in the wonderful state of texas where it seems you can live of anything even 8 bucks a month and be happy about it too. Maybe I am living in the wrong place..........
MANCAVE. Stuff them with the leftovers of lost sock pairs, old tee shirts or newspapers and use them as dude throw pillows for your man cave. Or use them for throw pillows on your neoprene couch (Is that how you spell couch?) in your newly opened dive shop themed coffee lounge with free wi-fi.
@nadroj I do this all of the time. And by "this" I mean stay up past my bedtime for meh, buy, move on to other things (mostly eventually sleep), then come back way later to discuss the purchase. Well, I've done it once or twice before now at least. No. As far as I know, there are no perks, other than the icon and the shitload of emails.
@Headly Hey, I'm on your side! I'm on the 'East Coast' and stay up for deals and shit. I'd stomp off in a huff if Meh changed the times to pacify the bitchers. I was just saying it before someone else did.
didn't buy these - just got done moving my M-IN-Laws house full of stuff, but now I really do need a bath. Moving stuff turned me off buying to much stuff I don't need. Back to the "wants vs needs" question.....
@lichme I had had a tracking number, for my Meh shirts, for almost a week, before they started moving. I'm thinking the number is sent to FedEx and us when it's packaged, then they wait until they have so many, before FedEx takes them.
This is almost as much fun as Fuku anticipation. And, is the longest thread ever? Should someone start an unveiling thread to display all their cases so we can compare? Maybe set up exchanges? (Oh god who would do that?)
Got mine today. "We'll try not to send you two of the same identical bag." HAHA!!! I guess that only applied to the orders of 10 as I got 3 of the same on 10 styles. I suddenly don't think I need 30 of these.
@ccyoun 4 of the 10 are strictly for Kindle Fire HD 7", 1 is for Kindle Fire, 2 are for Kindle and Kindle Touch, 1 GPS case, 1 11" MacBook Air, and 1 13" MacBook or MacBook Pro
If I had a Kindle Fire or a Macbook Pro, I'd crap myself in excitement over how many sleeves I have for them. But since I don't, I just hope I can make enough reselling these, except the one I'll keep for my camera, since it didn't come with any protection.
I am both relieved and bummed that I didn't purchase these. All of my devices have cases, I'm not in need of neoprene, but I feel like I missed the fun of seeing what showed up.
@YahSah15 Its cost prohibitive perhaps compared to our original cost for a box of neoprene. But we should both be able to ship via USPS First Class? (up to 13 ounces). If so, it'll just be a couple of bucks.
Curses! I got a couple laptop sleeves (awesome!) but about 85% of the sleeves are flowery/pink or purple dotty (the laptop ones being all flowers). Didn't account for this potentially having super ugly sleeves as the majority :P Ah well, I will bring them to work and throw them at people
I love the mental picture of a badass named @SkyyPunk walking around all covered with tats and piercings carrying a pink and purple flowery laptop cover.
@zerologic I would contact Meh if your missing 10 packs doesn't show up in a week or so. Missing 1 or 2 cases is different than missing 10 cases. It could be somebody made mistake and thought you ordered 10 packs instead of actual 20 packs. Did you get a tracking number for the package you received?
Well, I tried, but missed out on this meh. The nekked Kindles, tablet, and cameras in my home make me oh so very sad. They cry out each day for some neoprene. I weep for them in the BATH.
If anyone would like to strike a deal to get rid of a few (or 30), I'm game. I don't need or want coveted laptop cases, but desire the sizes it seems many folks are cursing their plethora of.
If only they'd used a few of these neoprene cases to pad the shipment of my 1st meh purchase - the ceramic coffee mugs - which arrived 2 of 3 shattered... Oh, meh....
I just got my box of 30, and have a complaint -- if I counted right (and that's a huge IF), I actually received 31. What the hell am I supposed to do with the extra one, when I don't know what to do with the other 30?
Actually, some of them actually fit things I have -- Kindle reader, tablet, laptop, etc. I got a nice variety of shapes and sizes, and some of the prints aren't atrocious. I'm glad I went ahead and spent the eight bucks.
I got a 13" Macbook Pro sleeve, (2) 11" Macbook prosleeves, a few generics that an Ipad fit into nicely, (1) GPS sleeve, (I still own a GPS) and a lot of Kindle stuff. I took them to work and gave them away. People snapped them up.
Well I just got a Venue 7840 and ordered the only case available for it on amazon to find it wont arrive for a month and I probably won't like it anyways. I really like the feel of it and don't want to use a case anyways, want a sleeve. But the Targus sleeve available has no pics so idk if it will suit my needs and be worth 30+
Then I see this. I figure if i order 30 maybe one of them will be of use for one of my various devices and perhaps one will even suit the Venue. I can even bring a box them to family gatherings to offer the extras out. It will be like a Meh santa of cases.
Now watch me cave and order that Targus before this package even arrives.
@communist I have had no issues with that, and infact found that more apps off amazons store support it than my nexus 4 or 7 2013, but its still 4.4, which sucks since it has 9gb of usable memory and I cant install apps to my 32gb sd card until its upgraded to 5.0. Screen is great and it runs nicely though (takes a second to wake though). Also @JonT Cool, more party to go around!
In for 30. Figure I'll give them away at work to earn good will if I can't use any of them. Or gift them to people I don't really care for but feel obligated to give a gift to for some reason.
@Crixus I think my only contribution to this sale was saying, "Wait, we have to ship what!?" Side note: Please buy all of these. Hell, if I could send you a pallet, I would.
Sigh. No idea why, but I bought the 30. I feel like Zoidberg when he buys five copies of a CD because it was on two discs. I don't even have a tablet!. At least my gift shopping is done for a while.
@jont I ordered 30, but if you throw more in, my wife will give them away at the library she works at. Someone there will use them (within reason- as in please don't ship us a thousand or so).
I go to film school and so I bought a pack of 30 to hand out to my classmates. I'd buy more but I don't like them enough to spend more than $8 + $5 shipping.
@username You could always put in more than one order on most items. If there is a limit of 3 per item, you can put in 3 separate orders of 1 each or a single order of all 3.
meh's message parser is awesome - I put a less-than "insert event here" greater-than right before "and next Christmas" and it thought it was an HTML/XML tag - isn't that quaint :)
Hoping for a kindle one. Otherwise, looks like I've now got just the thing to leave around at work so I can pretend that I remembered someone's birthday!
Bought 30. Kept thinking. Bought 10 more. Tried to get more 40. Card declined. Asking roommates for CC numbers. Being threaten with spoons. With a 100 I'll make a parade! Satan will be happy.
I'm onto you meh. You happen to have boxes of 40 prepackaged, don't you? Some intern screwed up and now you're covering, aren't you? SPILL IT BUB! THAT'S THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THE 30 FOR $8 + 10 FREEBIES YOU'VE BEEN LAYING OUT ALL OVER THIS THREAD!!!
@JonT man.. we are CoC clan mates, why you do this to me? In for 90... sent 30 to my mom, 30 to my dad, and 30 for me... what have I done? I know I'm going to get some strange calls from my parents on this one. Lol
Watched a Dragnet episode last night where manufacture of mink coats was covered (to aid in an undercover sting). Uniformity was important. I wonder if you get enough tablet sizes if you could make a colorful, yet tasteless neoprene coat. Maybe a diving suit. How thick is the material?
I bought 30. $8 and free shipping with VMP. Happy to help Meh get rid of the load. Send more if you want. I promise not to complain. I'll muddle through somehow.
In for 30 - I've got so many random things around the house that would love neoprene bags, maybe this'll cover 'em all. Or not, I guess. My wife will certainly be surprised when they show up... And what's with "bath"?
I bought 30 to put on my shelf in the basement with the crap I get from some amazon coupon site for free to give as presents to people I don't like, or don't like enough to give something that costs actual money. These will blend in perfectly.
This'll be just my second meh.com purchase and I already have 4 sets of earbuds in case I drop one in the bath. I definitely do not have the 30 gadgets required to use up all the sleeves I just purchased but it just seemed absolutely necessary.
Using this for a reason to get rid of my gift cards, only in for 10 though, sorry, Meh. Don't forget to take a bath in all the cases you have leftover.
In for 90...hope I fill a BATH tub with them. Going on a mission trip to a very rough part of Belize City. No glamor, no resorts, just hard work to help wonderful people in difficult situations. These sleeves should sell well as low priced items at our church fundraiser. THANKS, meh! By the way, I'm a teacher, and your pricing math is a bit illogical. ..but I LOVE it!
If they really (bath) wanted these gone, at 40 they'd knock another buck off AND throw on that snazzy smart car charger that I somehow missed.
Or possibly send it out to all those of us who ordered 60 so we could make a patchwork neoprene bikini. Which actually crossed my mind before I read the blurb.
Immense-toasty-horn? Does that say something about me or something that I'll be receiving? I was in for 30, hoping I'll get some big ones for my 17 inch laptop and my mini iPad. But I guess I'll just pray I get something I can use or I'll sew them into a wetsuit!!! Or a bathing suit if I get them all tiny ones! Haha!!!
I just wonder what the circumstances are that lead up to meh getting their hands on so many of these. I just can't pull the trigger on this one though, even though those patterns look, um, "lovely."
Bacon. I feel oddly comforted my first contribution to the Meh forums is the word bacon. Can I add a picture? Does Built NY make a bacon design? Scratch and sniff would be fun. I'm tired. And hungry. And I've played Destiny for way too long tonight. G'night, but first I'm going to spend $8
@Stallion oh yeah, I read that. I guess I was confused when people started saying they were getting 10 free for saying the "secret" word. Lol. You started a mass hysteria... Nice
@Drunkenalien Well, the first person to say Bath did get 10 free. I suspect since it was the first post that @JonT gave 10 away for free to start everyone typing random crap hoping for a free pack of 10. Only the first person that said Bath actually got a free 10 pack so far.
just ordered 90, wish i could have ordered a sweet 100. 90 just seems wrong, 100 would have been a nice number. figure 90 can line my bath tub when in need of emergency extra beds and 10 could be used as a pillow.
My first meh - in for the 30 as I didn't get anyone christmas presents so this will do nicely and if BATH really does anything can give out a few presents to strangers!
In for 60. Such a deal, had to take advantage of getting more than one bundle. 90, however, just seemed a bit excessive. I work with college students and plan to give these away... they are going to LOVE these and I'm gonna score some points! Maybe I should go back for that third one....
@theco2 You're right. I did it. Just hope I don't start having nightmares about being drowned in a BATH of rainbow polka dots, neon pop graffiti and highly-stylized black-line architectural drawings. Damn you Meh! Your deals are just. too. hard. to. resist.
What I'll tell my partner: Even if everything we get fits everything else but what we own, it'll be okay. We're not going to have 30 unused neoprene sleeves around the house. I'll use these for padding random bits of expensive camera equipment.
Or I'll use them for bedding when I'm in the doghouse.
Its a giant train wreck. I hope it comes in a giant box that I can jump into it and swim around in a 30pk like I'm taking a bath in soft smooth neoprene!
Secret Santa / White Elephant is going to be so much fun! Only 346 more days and somebody's going to really, really, really thank me for all this shit.
grating-exultant-gum. In for 60 that I will paint/bedazzle/decorate and resell, so please feel free to give me duplicates and/or solid colors. Only way I could excuse this purchase while unemployed is to hope I can turn a profit. If not, Christmas gifts for everyone!

This is absurd and I must get in on this. In for 10 because I don't think I have 30 devices that can be covered. This is exactly why I love this site though.
Meh. Bath. Meh. Bath. Meth. Hmmm... Nope. Not in. But if 10 neoprene thingies launch themselves at my mailbox, it doesn't really stand a chance at fighting back.
Okay. We've been schooled. THIS is a deal. Those other guys sell discounted crap. At this price I'll cut them up and make clothes for my grandchildren or hell for us.
I'm planning on dropping these off at work for people to grab, but I can't figure out how to do it anonymously and I don't want anyone to know I bought so much crap on impulse. Help!
@johntmeche3 That's not bad math. a 20pk is $9 and a 10pk is 5. $5 plus $9 = $14. But it is interesting that the 30pks are all sold out. This is a good thing, they are nearing the end of the supply.
30 was out so i grabbed the higher priced 20..lol bastards, but then, wait, it says Built NY Assorted Bundle 1 20 @ $9, but then i realize its 1-20 pack. bastards again!
@jonT I was going to order 30 packs but it was sold out and couldn't add 30 packs, so I ordered 20 packs instead. Is it true that I get extra 10 packs by saying the secret code, "bath"? For some reason, I really REALLY want to get 30 packs.
I got 90 of these. Using them for prizes for a kids event we hold in the late summer every year. Kids always have electronics. Going to go take a bath and warm up. It's cold here!
Wonder if the sale figure are how many units were sold or sales of 30/20/5? looks like they sold a ton of them and still have more. How many did you guys have? EDIT: Why is everyone saying bath?
I have been a member now for uhm a very long 15 minutes or so. Why was I not informed of this secret word business? I'm really bummed because I wanted 30 :( I guess I'll just have to get by with only 20 THAT SUCKS! 0.o
@tamytinks I don't think there really was a secret word. I think they were just having fun passing them out, at random. I didn't buy any, but I still have 10 coming my way.
bought a 30 pack because I'm a good samaritan and also because I want to make a dozen dozen coasters made of overpriced neoprene products that no one buys
@tanassa You can use them to line the baseboards of your walls. This will serve as padding, preventing your expensive vaccuum from breaking when you ram it into the walls.
I'm going to have to store these in my bathtub until they become door prizes at two different fundraising events in February. There will still be room, feel free to send more. Think of the children, really, both non-profits benefit underprivileged youth. Hopefully bringing the sense of Meh will create an overwhelming and urgent drive in them to give money.
@wooguay Unfortunately yes. You missed the early bird special where you could get all 30 in one pack. At that time, you could order up to three 30 packs for a total of 90. Oh, and I see you are not a VMP member so you will also pay $5 shipping on the entire order. So that would be $20 total. You can sign up for VMP for $5/month that will give you free shipping for 30 days.
Grabbed a 10 pack, 30s are out or I would have grabbed them. I figure, whatever I can't use for my devices, I can always take to work for the holidays and put in the white elephant exchange. Someone will be thrilled. (Yes, I plan ahead.) Also, now I want to go take a bubble bath.
Hmm. Didn't realize 30-pack was small and only the 10-pack was large. I needed large....sigh, what's a few more bucks and pieces of neoprene around I suppose!
Are there any that aren't super ugly? I was thinking about getting some but the ones in the pictures are not things I would want to be seen carrying around :P
Took a bath on 60 of them, couldn't bring myself to break $20 or I would have bought 90+. Oh well. Time to get out of bed and take a bath (: Maybe give the pets a bath too.
Bummed :*(. I attempted to purchase these last night. It sat there "loading" when I clicked "buy" and then fell asleep. Saw this morning they are all sold out. la sigh
@defibrillator I'm planning on having an unboxing party and letting everyone there pick whatever they want. I'll probably save a few for my gift stash too. And after that I don't know. It depends on what I get I guess.
@sskim3 email @jont and tell him to reroute the ones he sent me without permission to your address....otherwise they're going a long round trip back to Texas. bastards.
@christinerenee Yes @unixrab would probably send them back. He's an ass most of the time. He could just donate them to his church for their next garage sale but he would refuse the package to make a point.
WAIT?!? How am I an ass for sending back something I did not ask to receive??? Further... how many people who benefit from charity have e-devices that these are going to fit!?? Basically... @jont dumped his garbage into my mailbox and I'M THE BAD GUY!?!?!? LISTEN! : \If (by chance) I am unable to catch Dave the UPS guy - I will be opening a thread whereby I will send these to someone free IF they do something annoying to @jonT for sending them in the first place. Also, they will have to annoy @cengland0 for at least 1 month. FREE STUFF! Everyone cross your fingers that Dave the UPS guy is stealthy! @givemeyoursoul
@unixrab You're an ass just because you said you would send it back and have meh pay for the shipping back. Wouldn't it be nicer for you to just accept it and give them away. The people on charity probably do not have e-devices but the places you donate them to will sell them to earn money that can be used for charity. Regarding annoying me for a month, that already happened when I was the goat in November -- Bleat!
@unixrab Unless Texas is hugely different than the rest of the country, donating to a church or a Goodwill-type place will give you a pretty wide audience of people who would buy the stuff- certainly far more than you are imagining.
@cengland0 THEY DON'T PAY FOR THE SHIPPING BACK... they paid for it to leave Texas in the FIRST place! There's no "bill" on it when it comes back as refused! You can't give this crap away... unless you're @jont ! churches don't have back window stores where all the crap that @jont sends people can get sold... now... GRANTED.. @dashcloud brings up a good point about Goodwill... they would probably sell things that @jont dumps on unsuspecting people... but... why involve all the jet fuel and UPS labor ... just donate it locally in Texas... why send it to me and waste all the fuel and CO2 and Gasoline so I can waste MORE gasoline to take it to Goodwill!???
@dashcloud As someone who regularly shops at thrift stores, I can definitely vouch for paying $$ for what someone else considered worthless. So be a good sport, @unixrab, accept it and just donate it so others can benefit.
Did they release more of these, later on in the day? I seem to remember them being sold out, at about 9:30, this morning, but it seems like people were buying them after I saw them sold out. I'm so confused.
@theco2 I must not have refreshed the page prior to making my comment below - I wonder if those 50 un-sales were made available? But that wouldn't explain the remaining net drop in sales.
Why oh WHY did I buy 60 (YES, SIXTY.. SIX-ZERO) of these things.. My kid needed a sleeve for her Nexus 7, my wife needed a sleeve for her HTC One. So, I figured the odds were in my favor the more I bought, right? RIGHT??
@JAEHYUNGSHIN Tracking number will show up on your "Orders" page - https://meh.com/orders - when it's ready. Based on the newsletter, it'll take them longer-than-normal to ship all of these out.
Woo! 60 squishy pieces of neoprene on the way to me here in the frigid north. Fingers crossed for arrival by the end of the month. Bridal shower gifts for everyone! (:
Still no movement on mine ): Label created on the 14th, but nothing since. Hoping for a sign of life within the next few days. Very much hoping I get them by the end of this month.
so, this was my virgin purchase from Meh, and so far it's been just.. well... Meh. Shipping label created 1/14/15, and no movement since then. Once it moves, I get to wait for the whole snail-like process of SmartPost.
@andrewkl You picked an interesting first purchase. We're still working on this, and actually working overtime and the weekend to get it done. It's the largest order our team has ever fulfilled (150,000+ pieces). We've scaled up to address it, but it's still taking time to do it right. Give us some time. Hopefully, it'll be done in the next couple of days.
@hart I dreamed that I could pay extra for expedited/alternative shipping and woke up sad ): Smartpost packages come into my state a mere two hour drive from me, leave my state for the one next door, and come back to my state several days later to be given to USPS.
@hart Thanks Hart... What do I expect for my $21, right? :-) As a kid, I was always picked last for teams in gym class, so I'm having some nasty flashbacks right about now...
@pooflady make sure you are checking at fedex and not at usps... mine is found but it says Anticipated Ship Date: 1/14/2015 and that is all. ;) I think they got sick of looking at them and moved to other orders.
@pooflady Yes, I was checking FedEx. But this morning it says "in transit." Got to the FedEx facility in Texas at 1 a.m. this morning. Supposed to get it Monday.4.3 pounds.
Yay, mine are moving!! The app I use says 6 days for delivery, but I'm thinking 6 days to hand to USPS. For some reason, a smartpost package will process through 3 neighboring cities. Before going out for delivery. That in itself can take several days. I am East coast, so they are traveling far.
Mine came in today. Might go into details later and maybe a photo. But was a lil surprised that only one out of the 30 had a zipper. It's cool though, all the cases are pretty neat.
I haven't completely inventoried, but I got one Macbook 13" sleeve, looks like a couple 11", and a lot of 6-8" ones. We have three 13" Macbooks so I'd love to get a couple more of those sleeves somehow, but we also have various sizes of other devices for which the glut of sleeves should work.
My 30*2 set currently status is "Not found" Why??? Meh had been refused cancel or change address. Then, Meh has not send to FEDEX. I'm very upset. still has not create fedex label. "Not found This tracking number cannot be found, please check the number or contact the sender."
I just got my loot. Every single item is for a Kindle! Nothing for for a laptop or anything else! So much for random! I don't even own a Kindle! I ordered a 10 pack also that hasn't arrived yet maybe I'll have better luck with that one...
I received 29 of the 30 cases I ordered. I guess the missing one must be the one that would fit my iPad mini, which none of the 29 I received will. It probably wound up going to some lucky bastard who got a Fukumafuckit.
@Pony - Well I'm that bastard! I got 31 cases for everything from a MacBook to iPads 1.2and3,9-10" laptop and the required Kindle Fires and Paperwhites. (but I've never been able to get even close to connecting to the server on a FukubuketO'shit.
@hart, thank you to whoever packed my order! I actually got some sleeves that people will spend money on at the fundraisers. They were well protected thanks to the padding from the kindle sleeves.
3 - zip laptop: 2 flower 16" & a multicolor dot 13" 8 - 10" tablet: 3 black, 1 dot envelopes & 4 dot zip 2 - 6" zip e-reader/tablet (b & w) 2 - Compact camera envelopes (floral) 13 iPad: 6 flower iPad2 w/ Smart Cover sleeves, 5 navy dot iPad mini w/ Smart Cover & 2 navy dot zip 33 Kindle: 19 Fire & 5 slim sleeves, 4 Late Gen Sleeves, 3 Touch Stretch covers, 1 Fire HD 8.9” slim cover & 1 Touch twist top sleeve.
My came. Very "meh". The 30 pack only came with 26, but oh well. I got 24 kindle cases, and 2 macbook air. Sorry no picture at this time. Lot of flower and polka dot colors!
Here is my haul. Out of 50, I got one that barely fits my old MacBook, but I made it work. The rest of my haul fits various kindles and ipads and a couple of cameras.
@atravis6 I bought a 30 pack & the variety is pretty good with 2 types of those green skull cases *obviously for Kindle (Fire (whatever that is)) 1 is a "Slim Cover" & 1 is a "Twist Top Sleeve".
I bought 30 @ 8 but only received 26 lol. Hardly something to complain about but I'd like to let Meh know...if only so they know that someone's slackin and / or pocketting sleeves for steep profits.
2 boxes - 20 count each 3 16 inch laptop sleeves, zipper, poppy pattern (it is like they read my forum posts <3) 2 kindle fire slim covers, hearts and peace signs 1 kindle paperwhite envelope, rainbow dots 1 tablet envelope 6", black 3 tablet envelope 9-10 inch, 2 black, 1 blue with small pink dots 8 kindle sleeve, 7 rainbow dots, 1 black 1 kindle paperwhite sleeve, poppies 1 kindle sleeve, black 2 kindle fire hd sleeve, blue with small pink dots 1 ipad sleeve,zipper, blue with small pink dots 3 ipad mini sleeve, blue with small pink dots 4 tablet sleeve, zipper, black and white polka dots 3 ipad 2 sleeve, poppies 1 tablet 6" sleeve, zipper, black and white grid 2 kindle fire slim cover, 1 cartoon people (i put my nexus 7 in it, it is cool), 1 poppies 2 kindle touch sleeve, poppies 1 11 inch macbook air twist top sleeve, black 1 13 inch macbook laptop sleeve, zipper, rainbow 2 toned polka dots
i'm swimming in neoprene! now to figure out what i want to keep.
Purchased 60 got 50- meh... Got a lot of toe curling flower power and a hell of a LOT of Kindle stuff. Guess Kindle sales aren't doing as well as anticipated. Meh.
WHOOO Whoo! Package has found its way to Massachusetts! Took longer to get from West Virginia to Massachusetts (3 days total!!) than it did from Texas to Alabama.. sigh, delivery might be Tuesday.
I got exactly what I ordered (30 - sad I feel the need to mention that).
My 14 y.o. son now has 10+ cases for his Kindle Fire...
I will say that my wife was actually thrilled with them (the price had some impact on that). She's been excitedly giving some away to friends at the gym.
seriously, 9 GPS sleeves?? who even uses a portable gps unit anymore? literally everyone has a smartphone and/or uses the one that's already installed in the dash of their car. good grief. anyaways, i ordered the 30 pack and like most of you, i received mostly kindle crap and sleeves for portable gps units. i did get a cpl 13 inch laptop sleeves. so maybe it wasnt a total waste.
So I have a problem that others are having I ordered 3 of the 10 and only received 10 the other 20 are MIA. When I have emailed support they asked for a picture of the 10 that I did get and I sent that to them. Now they have gone radio silent so I am wondering if they have taken my money and run off to a third world country? Any ideas how to get the others?
@shopfamdenver I can promise you that we have not absconded to the Swiss Alps with your $10. Our customer support team is backed up and will get back to you as soon as possible, sorry about the wait.
We finally found it... http://engt.co/1Qk7ar6 Amazon is selling $50 tablet in a 6 pack... buy 5 get 1 free.. Now to order 5 of those for all the neoprene... ;)
I'll put each Neoprene sleeve in a slightly larger sleeve until I have my own Neoprene nightmare nesting doll of meh. I shall name it Son of Irk.
@kabijj ..but when I opened it, I saw a little dude there...
@nadroj where there should have been a pit. I loved that song!
If you tape like 50 of 'em together, you've got a "foam topper" for your mattress.
Sorry about that, I blacked out for a minute, what's going on in this thread?
Probably nothing, I better get to bed and read it in the morning.
@JonT You have a good night, mister... I can't wait to see how long this thread gets by morning! :D
@JonT same thing that goes on every night, nothing important.
@JonT you snooze, you lose. the only big thing happened is my second order of 30
@JonT Meh
@JonT Good thing you didn't give me anything while you were blacked out.
@JonT You blacked you, you get a pack of 10.
Too early in the morning. I meant "blacked out." Replies on a single line where most of your text scrolls off makes it hard to proofread before submitting.
@JonT a nice warm bath will help you sleep.
Bath eh. Lmao @ 30 for 8 and 20 for 9. Math is hard.
@lichme I didn't notice that, ordered 10 at first. Now I cancelled and ordered 30!
@madmaxmedia
Samesies. Do i get an additiona 10 for samesies? Im expecting 10 more
@lichme Makes perfect sense. Don't ask me how, though.
THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THEM.
Sorry Meh, tempted but my bank needs a break - I've only been trying to understand Meh for a couple months... but I have already bought twice as many things at Meh as I did in three years at Woot!
I feel a bit like an alcoholic.
@RedOak A meh-oholic.
I received one of these guys in a Fuku...gave it to my Mother back in August. Saw it re-gifted during Christmas. Good stuff
@tfreeman451 Now you can buy 30 more and gift them to EVERYONE.
So we already passed yesterday's comment/reply count in 10 minutes. I bet this topic ends up crashing the site.
@shawn The messages are coming in faster than I can read them.
@cengland0 Here is another for you to read.
How much for the wheelie bin full of people?
@Tiamat114 a lot more than the combined value of the 10 pack that I'm sending you!
@JonT Neat, thanks. I mean, you did label the picture "Help us get rid of these" so I figured I could take them off your hands and provide them with more alcohol, but this works too.
@JonT Seriously though, what the hell am I supposed to do with them, all I can think of is sandwich protectors but I dont ever leave my house.
@Tiamat114 You could always fill one with shower gel and use it to lather up in the bath :P
my first Meh purchase. I think i'm going to put my iphone in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve in a sleeve
@6squarefeet I'd suggest putting that pile of sleeves in a sleeve. Just a new idea you may have not thought of yet.........jk
@6squarefeet inception.
@6squarefeet even if it's 6 square feet?
@Perkalicious now thats funny right there, i dont care who you are.
@Perkalicious The interwebz must be broken, in ND. What a crappy day for that.
@Perkalicious Charge your phone.
@Perkalicious curse you whoever is in ND that bought one.
@mehybe I was hoping it'd sell out before someone in North Dakota purchased so we could praise North Dakota for being the smartest state in the nation. No such luck. They're just as bad as the rest of us.
@Perkalicious You'll NEVER see California nominated for that one.
Interesting, the 30 pack is cheaper than the 20 pack by a buck. You guys really do what this shit gone. Not badly enough to make the 30 pack cheaper than the 10 pack though...
@Thumperchick they aren't that crazy
@dougbaker45 @thumperchick
I was going to have my husband buy 90 more on his account so we would have 180 but you're out of 30 packs. I should probably feel relieved but now I have this strange obsession with getting a massive amount of these that can't be satiated now. What are you doing to me? I don't even need these!
Why are you doing this to us?!
@heli0s Why not? Have a 10 pack!
@JonT ahhh just bought 30 more! Theres no escape!
Fuck giving out candy this year - all kids come to the door, say trick or treat, and 30 lucky ones get a neoprene case for their troubles.
@angelgirl409 will they be peanut butter-filled?
@mehmeyousweet why not - peanut allergies are for losers anyway.
My name is mamawoot and I'm a Mehaholic.
The first thing I'm going to do with these when they arrive is SORT them. By size, by color, by type. OMG I can't wait.
OCD much?
@mamawoot now you're going to have 10 more to organize, I'm a jerk!
@mamawoot Maybe you should work for Meh. I think they need these things sorted, before they even leave the warehouse.
My wife is gonna kill me! I just bought 90... I have a problem. Is there a meh-anonymous meeting near the detroit area? I need a sponsor!
@anchovi We could create one. I'm in Ypsilanti.
@hamjudo I'll be in Ypsi this coming weekend. I'll bring some AA batteries to the meeting.
@hamjudo Clare here - not Detroit but mid Michigan counts. I could definitely use meh-anonymous after getting my 90.
@hamjudo You're WHERE!?!
@hamjudo
BRICK DICK FOR LIFE!!! I'm in Ypsi, too.
@anchovi @hamjudo @Alien88 @VeeDubTDI I'm getting into the same Meh-triggered spousal trouble - how about we all go hide at the Detroit Int'l Autoshow next week? Week could meet up at Fishbones for some gumbo and beer.
@RedOak I have a pretty full schedule that weekend, but a bunch of us (from TDIClub) are going to Kart 2 Kart in Sterling Heights on Saturday afternoon after the show... should be there 2-5 or so. Gotta get through the show early before the hoards of flu-infected mouth-breathers descent upon COBO. When you see a bunch of Volkswagen TDIs (diesels) in town, you'll know it's us. ;)
Dang East Coasters got up too early this morning and snatched all the 30 packs up while the West Coasters are still asleep.
@medz nah, everyone bought them up last night. You went to bed too early. Sales were close to 4000 sold when I went to bed at 2am.
@ryancunderwood I know, I bought 30 just after 11pm.
I escaped the Neoprene poisoning of 2015. Stay thirsty my friends.
@Outofmymind I'm glad I'm not the only one! It's time to take a bath in a giant margarita.
Sold out at 9:38 am ET
Those damn East Coast hoarders bought them all before the rest of the country woke up and had a chance.
@nadroj Don't even blame the east coast. We get the shit time when the product changes.
@ongware The world doesn't revolve around your schedule. One item, one day - and the item changes when the day changes.
@ongware sarcasm or woosh?
@Headly @narfcake Whoa, dont blame me! I gladly roll over at midnight and check what popped. Its those west coasters complaining that it sold out when they had access at 9pm..
@ongware Sorry. Your reply sounded serious to @nadroj's sarcastic post.
@narfcake i AM serious! #sarcasm
Thanks, Meh! This East Coaster is happy she stayed up tonight to score a 30 pack, especially since I wasn't interested in the knives last night. I also clicked my Meh face for the 189th time tonight. I can't believe it's been close to 200 days since I started giving you all my money. :-)
@PurplePawprints Us east coasters aren't real, though. We're fig newtons.
Looks like I got passed over for the extras @JonT is passing out. I guess thirty is more than enough for me, anyway. This is a fun thread though. I don't think I've ever seen one get so many posts as quickly as this.
@PurplePawprints Yay for us East Coasters that can break rules and stay past midnight! xD
@Keyeno @OldCatLady We have to prove the whiners wrong! It is possible for those of us on the right coast to get the deals, too!
@PurplePawprints Still wish we got in some of give outs. I have use for 40 neoprene sleeves... >.>
@Keyeno Maybe @JonT knows will stick around even if he doesn't bribe us with freebies.
@OldCatLady It's PIG Newton.
This is one of the times I am glad I always hear my wifes voice telling me not to buy stuff.
@lichme I'm hearing my husband saying, "how many of these things are you really going to sell before you get sick of looking at them?"
@lichme Please have her call me so I stop buying stuff I don't need too.
@lichme sending you a 10 pack!
@JonT LOL... You know, @lichme may need a palette to go with his zip ties he has. How many do you have left, sir?
@JonT shouldn't that be a pallet of 10,000 for @lichme
@JonT Gah! Missed a 10 pack again by one post. I see a pattern devloping.
@BillLehecka @stryper2000 I'd rather not sleep in the dog house.
I'm not buying any but I keep refreshing the page and watching the number of orders go up, and I'm getting more and more afraid. Why won't it stop? When will it sell out? If everyone bought 30 and there's 4437 orders so far, then that means there's at least 133,110 of these things out there and the number keeps going up.
I'm afraid I'm going to step outside tomorrow, my city will be gone and the world will be buried in neoprene laptop sleeves.
@hoborg The aMehcalypse is nigh
@hoborg The Mehtrix. Bath.
@hoborg neoprene amehrica
A item so meh, it didn't even qualify for a Fuku offering.
@Outofmymind, Perhaps you expecting a bath of Fuku?
@Outofmymind i got one in a fuku
@Outofmymind @medz Actually they were a common fuku item. We got a crazy yellow kindle case with skulls. It was regifted.
I'm moving in three weeks and already have boxes and boxes of stuff.
But for $8? Come at me, brah box.
@grammarsheriff Me too. And that's pretty much my thought process as well. So what I'm moving in two weeks to another continent? It's thirty things for $8! How can I possibly resist this?
@grammarsheriff you think you will get these before you move? LOLOLOLOL
Welp...better buy a 30 pack because, fuck logic. Hell let's just get three sets of 30...
@studerc speaking of fuck logic, WHY DON'T I SEND YOU 10 MORE??
@JonT come at me, bro. Swing first buddy, swing first!! Shit send me a crate of them, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU! haha. And you know, whenever you are feeling super crazy that goat prize is still tugging at my heart strings. :)
EVERYONE BUY!!! If we don't, all of our next fukubukuro's will just be these.
@Alien88
@Barney I guarantee there will be some purple in your order!
@Alien88 You've found us out! You get a 10 pack!
@Alien88 I love purple.
@Alien88
Did a truck full of these jackknife out in front of Mediocre Labs?
@BabyBear What if they did? Do you think the employees went out and hijacked the truck? This isn't funny. It's serious business, you poopie head.
@theco2 No, it's definitely funny...
@theco2 Try decaf! Maybe the guy was on his way to Woot's warehouse got a call from Woot and "execute order 666" and the guy crashes the truck right in front of Mediocre Labs and dumps all that fine product in thier laps and goes on to collect the insurance on the missing shipment. The driver? Well, he's back working his UPS route.
@BabyBear I could see Woot doing something like that. It's ingenious, but Woot could have sold them for more and no one would have known the difference.
I probably don't need these ... so yeah, I bought some.
@narfcake I know I don't need those, so yeah, I bought some too. Shipping to work so I can hand the out as bribes. defeated-craptacular-tree
@narfcake I probably don't need to give away another 10 pack, but I am and it's for you!
@JonT Gah! I missed a 10 pack by one post. Story of my life :-(
@JonT Hooray! Now to figure out how many shirts can fit in each size of sleeve!
Just bought 90 of them get on my level
@Speedius also no vmp because I like to live dangerously
@Speedius The closest to your level I can get is sending you 10 more!
@JonT I am ok with this
Sooo i'm predicting a wave of these showing up on craigslist & eBay in the next week or two...
@paulw1128 This is meh. It'll take at least 3 weeks to arrive so check those sites in February.
@paulw1128 And I bet they won't be selling them for less than $1, each.
@theco2 No - but I'LL be selling them for more than a dollar each...
In for 30, EAST COAST REPRESENT!
@The_Baron lets Anger the masses. Sell Out! Sell Out!
I'm also selling 25 for $9 if anyone is interested, they will be the 25 "finest" from my lot of 30
I'm copying this and showing it to my economics teacher, tell her everything she has taught me was a lie. Then I'm going to show my math teacher and ask her to do the math. I have a busy day tomorrow, think I will go to bed now.
@Calix
You know what you should do if these don't sell? Send all of the unsold palettes to @unixrab...
@BillLehecka
@BillLehecka You're a genius, my friend. And I'm sorry if I've never said that before now. At the very least, wee need to find out where he lives and send all of the packing material.
@joelmw
I've pre-sold my entire order on Craigslist.
@Pavlov That's the spirit! Maybe you should buy more.
Proverbial knitted sweater.
After reading comments i came up with a use for the small ones at least... I work with low income teens and we get donations of feminine hygiene items that we take to the girls at school sometimes as well as providing condoms. These cases would be way better than the brown paper bags or recycled plastic bags we use currently! (which brings me to 90)
@MsELizardBeth Great idea! Good thinking!
@MsELizardBeth That's a very nice thing that you do. I've ordered 90. If you wish, just tell me the sizes you could use and I will send them to you.
@barnabee It would probably cost more in shipping than if you ordered more and sent them directly to @MsELizardBeth.
@cengland0 You are right and they are sold out now. -sigh- @MsELizardBeth If you would like, maybe I could get Meh to send a couple of my boxes to you? However, I don't want to drown you in sleeves. :)
@barnabee If you want to look through yours and pick out the ones you want I could give you my work address to ship the ones you don't want to. We'd mostly use the small sizes I think. It would cost a little more in shipping for you but you'd at least get to see your purchase. :)
@MsELizardBeth How about this? I happened to mention to a church, where I volunteer, that I bought these sleeves. They said they would love to have a box to use for their mission work. So, why don't I see if I can get Meh to ship you a box, I give the church a box, and then I will have a box to give to family and friends. Lots of sleeves for everyone!
@MsELizardBeth Is this okay with you?
Today I received ten cases for which I never asked. At least @JonT warned me.
Oddly, yesterday I received a Kindle Paperwhite I'd ordered. And so my needs for a case went from 0 to 1, and I even had two appropriate cases from which to choose.
So, thanks, @JonT!
Traveling soon and FINALLY putting one of these to use!!
@mikibell It’s good to see that you are not rushing into anything.
@Barney and they say I have a fear of commitment!
The kids’ schools got a lot of them for the ipads.
Bath
@Stallion You just said the secret word! You get a free 10 pack!
@JonT bath^2
shower
meh^2
@JonT bath
@JonT Wait... there was a secret word to get this crap?
@aaronhurt Sure why not, and you said one of them! You get a 10 pack!!!
@jonT Bath!!
@JonT Bath?
@JonT Secret words schmords, are they a real thing? Bath, wot
@JonT Dog
@JonT Wait what? More secret words? Are you Conky from Pee Wee's Playhouse? What's today's secret word?!
@JonT bath
@Stallion Lucky you. I just spent eight bucks on thirty of these. What the hell am I going to do with them? It's like the aisle at the store with all the junk when you're waiting to checkout. fml
@JonT Yay!!!!!!!
@JonT Bath? Secret word? Cannot brain after midnight.
@JonT are you bathing people in neoprene?
@JonT
@Stallion @JonT I bought 30, but if all it takes to get another ten is that instead of a shower, I take a BATH, then I can totally do that. Prune fingers, here I come!
@Stallion Bath
@JonT I also bought 30, specifically so I could take a bath in them. I wouldn't say no to more! ...I... I don't own anything that I can use them with. I don't know what's wrong with me.
@JonT Why are these things so tempting? I don't even need one let alone 10,20,30 or more...
@Stallion who takes a bath at this hour?
@JonT There is also a secret handshake
@Stallion baths a secret word? What about shitload? Pittance? Bikini???
@Stallion I will take a bath with this purchase!
@JonT Bath Tacos. I just ordered 30 to help put this deal out of its misery.
@JonT I must have a baths worth of neoprene to accomplish my just-now-made-up-dream to have a bath full of neoprene! :D
@JonT You sure are desperate! Why don't you just pay me? 😃 You just sold 30!
@Stallion Wanna take a BATH with me??? :)
@JonT is it a "shit-ton" or "metric shit-ton". cause the metric system is dumb. or good, I can't remember. But I do know that good is dumb, and always loses, so either way, a "metric shit-ton" loses. My vote for the secret word is "whatever the word is for the 'absence of metric'".
Bath!!!
@jbreedlove you should get 90, then. clear as day.
@v Bath, Shower, Bidette, wootever gets me free NY here in NYS.
@Stallion impressive, the action that giving away 5 bucks of stuff will generate.
@JonT BATH BATH BATH BATH BATH BATH BATH BATH BATH BATH. Now send me a hundred to go with the sixty I already paid for?
bath math
@Stallion Tub.
@JonT bath!!!!!
@Stallion bath, motherfucker
@Stallion i didn't take a bath all week
@Stallion bath
@JonT has rescinded to the fetal position, lying naked in the cold icy bath tub he calls home.
This is hilarious! I never said the secret word would work more than once.
@JonT b-bath?
@rsky BATH wth i got the 30 pack
@JonT I'm in for 30, but I'd gladly take a bath in 40!!! Bwahahaha....
@JonT Someone took a bath at these prices.
bath it is. in for 30.
@lisaviolet I spent the $8 for 30, and then I was lucky enough to get another 10 Free if JonT should be so kind to shower me with more. Looks like i'll be giving these away for ages :)
@lichme but the secret handshake has to be done while taking a bath.
@JonT So ... bath? I plan to toss 30 of these into a tub and swim around - does that count?
@JonT Bath ^_^
@JonT If I knew you were giving out extra 10-packs, I would've spent the extra dollar and bought 20. That way, the extras would give me 30 overall, and I'd have spent $1 extra. Sounds like a win-win to me!
@JonT Goats. Mehn. Fuku. Random Dancing. Lucky?
@Stallion Bath (~o~). meh, or I'll just bathe with them. I guess.
@Stallion Htab, I am shipping 10 of these back to meh.
@JonT bath bathe bathes baths bathed bathing
Bath?>
@JonT
@Stallion Now a REAL BATH would be buying 90 and getting 10 more! I wonder if I can fashion a life jacket out of these? :-)
Bath!!?
@JonT I love to full up my empty room and take a bath in these bad boys. Have 5000 of them? Ill take them!
@Stallion Wow.. you get something free and you get an avalanche of comments. You are going to need a bath to clean up after that.
@JonT Can I please take a bath in these too? :)
@JonT Well, Jon, you never said the secret word WOULDN'T work more than once either. Bath.
@Stallion @jont shower
@Stallion Sold out...bath...I just won nothing :D the best prize instead of this stuff :P
@Stallion What's with the bath?
@BootlegCraig It was from them saying they were "Taking a bath" on these. And as you can see it took on a life of its own from there, of course with the help of @JonT
If I order a 30 pack what are the chances of an ipad in one of the sleeves?
@Kenahn 0%! But there's a 100% chance that I'm sending you a 10 pack!
@Kenahn Why would you ever want one of those?
In for thirty, damn you VMP
Sometimes I don't understand this place, but that's okay, I'm having fun.
@barnabee That's the whole idea. If you understood it, there would be no Meh.
What am I doing with my life
@zadmiralj winning a free 10 pack of something you don't want or need!
@JonT I ALREADY HAVE A 30 PACK BUT THANK YOU I THINK
Ugh, missed some super fancy ass charger and then a knife... now just a bath of sleeves? Guess I can get a bunch of sleeves and throw them instead of beads at Mardi Gras, it'd be cheaper.
I can't wait to hear people bitching when these sellout!
@somf69 wait for it!
@somf69 at this rate they will sellout before 1am EST and we will have another 3 forums topics bitching about sellouts . on the bright side, @unixrab now has 30 more reasons to bitch and moan
@communist
Mechanical Crooked Scale
Bought it. Don't need it. Only purchased in the hopes that they sell out before the east coast wakes up tomorrow.
@Trillian I'm from the part of the East Coast that stays up late. :)
@Trillian spiteful! 10 pack!
@mortonfox Samesies
I have no use for 30 of these things.
Wtf did I just order?
@JonT Are you having as much fun in this thread as I am having reading it? I'm trying to go to sleep and I can't stop laughing.
So I decided to buy 30 and send it to my neighbor's address to get back at him for complaining about the "loud and disturbing" UPS truck delivering a package to me every day.
@on That sounds like they should be complaining to UPS regarding truck volume not you for keeping the economy going...
Christ, I cannot handle this any longer. I have to go to bed now and get up at 4:00 am. I'm on the east coast and have to do my performance review for 2014 between 4 am and 7 am. It's going to be horrible with only 3 hours of sleep and 3 hours to complete it.
I'm going to get a needs development on that review for sure and I have nobody to blame except Meh and maybe @joelmw.
@cengland0
Bet this was supposed to be the next VMP free giveaway, till they wised up that more people would probably cancel their VMP as these things don't live up to Mediocre's mediocre standards.
It looks like the thread is finally slowing down. Maybe I'll convince myself to go to bed and get some sleep. Well, after another refresh or two anyway.
@PurplePawprints DON'T LEAVE ME HERE, ALONE!!!11!1!11 These people are scary.
@theco2 Sorry, it was after 1:00 and I couldn't bank on my kids getting a delay due to the ice. Looks like you did okay though and stayed away from the crazies.
@PurplePawprints They are all crazy, here. That's why I like it, so much.
No, no, no, no, no, don't you fucking realize, man, that if Bonnie comes home and finds 30 neoprene sleeves in her house, I'm gonna get divorced? All right? No marriage counseling, no trial separation, I'm going to get fucking divorced, okay? And I don't want to get fucking divorced. Now meh, you know, fuck, I wanna help you, but I don't want to lose my wife doing it, all right?
@tamalw but, your house does look like neoprene storage. There's a sign outside and everything.
@tamalw No sign saying shitty neoprene storage on the front of the house? I bet the coffee is all gourmet and shit in your kitchen - I'll make a call before Bonnie comes home.
@tamalw have it shipped to work, or a friend or relatives house.
@remo28 Holy shit, dude.
@tamalw You wanted to be divorced, anyway, right?
Holy crap, Batman!
Nearly 1500 comments on this thread, and it's actually funny enough to keep reading. You guise really went over the top this time!
Lucky for me, after I read through this last night, I fell asleep and it was sold out when I woke up today. Even though I have a room full of meh I was nearly overcome with temptation.
@2many2no Who would have thought anyone would read all of it? Totally worth it, though.
Hey, @jsh139! Thanks for your Unofficial meh-dot-com Forum Unread Scroller. It's the only way to keep up to date with this crazy-long thread.
@SSteve You're welcome! Glad it's working for you!
I wish it was compatible with Pale Moon.
@hallmike You know there's two versions of it, and unless Pale Moon has made changes beyond optimizations for speed, not sure why it shouldn't work. Check the github page.
Oh, by the way...
These have all shipped.
@hart Oh, oh.
@hart Great job!!! You all have my permission to take a couple of days off.
@KDemo Now they will take the next couple weeks to ship out the rest of FUKU #4 and more speaker docks.
So is anyone else hoping they do something like this again some day?
@sohmageek
@hallmike Starring for the awesome GIF!
@sohmageek I still have not figured out what to do with my boxes of those
Disappointed I missed the knife last night... Disappointed I even bothered checking tonight.
@Nexar Thanks for the awesome feedback, you get a 10 pack!
@JonT
@lichme hook me up!
@JonT I love this site :P
@lichme if I get a ten pack, it round out to a cool 100 total.
@JonT can you hook a brother up, if he promises to take a bath in these? :-)
@JonT I checked under my chair and I didn't find the prize sticker... I'm not sure if I would have been more excited or disturbed if I had though.
@JonT Man I don't even want ONE, let alone ten...
jk just punking you to get more ;P
Who'll be the one to get 20 without realizing 30 is cheaper?
@Mac454 it says it in the description, but no one really reads that anyways..
@joedel263 Oh I read it, but who the hell would want 30 of these things?! Then again, who would say 20 is just right, but 30?! No way José. That's entirely too much!
@Mac454 I have a feeling anyone ordering 20, will magically get 30.
In for 90 of them!! Everything i own will now be protected!!
Ya, i put my case in a case to protect it.
@jont I dare you to send a pallet of these to my 300 sq ft apartment. I dare you.
@Kenahn He wouldn't do anything of the sort! he isn't that mean.......
@Kenahn Double dog dare!
@Stallion
Had it loaded from another thread meh!
This had to come up the week I'm moving and already having to confront the mounts of useless crap I've purchased from the Internet...and yet....I had to buy 30. Never have I felt such simultaneous anticipation and regret.
@ModusPwnens Yeah, this. In three weeks, when this veritable clusterf*ck of neoprene is delivered... I'll feel like a ten year-old on Christmas morning, if only for a few fleeting seconds. That alone is worth eight dollarbucks.
Other uses for these sleeves:
Growing Plants: Hydroponic gardening[edit]
Hydroponic and aerated gardening systems make use of small neoprene inserts to hold plants in place while propagating cuttings, or using net cups. Inserts are relatively small, ranging in size from 1.5" to 5". Neoprene is a good choice for supporting plants because of its flexibility and softness, allowing plants to be held securely in place without the chance of causing damage to the stem. Neoprene root covers also help block out light from entering the rooting chamber of hydroponic systems, allowing for better root growth and to help deter the growth of algae
Drum Pads: Musical instrument maker Yamaha uses neoprene. Neoprene is also used for drum practice pads.
Sport Braces: Sports
Also in recent years, Jug, an after-market inline skate liner manufacturer, have incorporated neoprene into the construction of some of their more popular product-lines, citing that neoprene adds reinforcement (ankle support) and guards against abrasions as few materials do. As a simple matter of durability and product lifespan, liners constructed with neoprene additives are typically more expensive than those that are not.
In the equestrian world, it is used in cinches, saddle pads, bareback pads, and many other applications in all disciplines.
It is often used in Airsoft as a protective garment, as it is thin enough to feel the hit, but thick enough to reduce the impact velocity, thus avoiding breakage of the skin by the pellet.
Training knives and swords are made of Neoprene for safe self-defense instructions, practice, sparring, and martial arts demonstrations.
Used in powerlifting and Olympic lifting. Commonly used are rehband 7mm knee and elbow sleeves. Also they are acceptable support in most powerlifting or strongman federations.
Jacking up your house: Neoprene is used as a load bearing base, usually between two prefabricated reinforced concrete elements or steel plates as well to evenly guide tension from one element to another
Warning some people may be allergic.
@Outofmymind ... and insulated lunch boxes.
This site really does not help my compulsive internet junk purchasing malady... And yes, that IS the property medical terminology for my illness...
@Hopkins3030 BUY ALL THE THINGS!
I like hoarding. I like little bags to stick hoarded stuff in. I like neoprene. I like hoarding little neoprene bags of stuff. I like the number 8. I keep finding ways to justify buying meh stuff. I have NO need for any of this stuff... But free shipping. And now bags for all of my meh junk? Hopefully the 30 pack will contain at least one yellow case each for my laptop, nexus 7, and Droid. (or the Samsung galaxy s5 I'm lusting after but can't get without losing my unlimited data (thanks Verizon).... If i have the perfect case I'll NEED to buy a phone at full price, right?)
@MsELizardBeth I love purple.
@Barney me too girlfriend
These things are going to FLOOD ebay in about a week.
@Collin1000 have you ever gotten anything smartpost? its gonna be like 2-3weeks
First Meh Purchase- I just bought a 30 pack and even signed up for VMP. I've been watching the site for weeks waiting to make my first purchase- waiting patiently, checking nightly at 9pm PST.
How on earth was this that item? Seriously, why. Why do i need 30 neoprene bags when I only have like 6 devices between my wife and I.
What have I done.
@Gadgets hey you now have 24 coasters of various sizes
@communist Great. A coaster for my laptop sized mug. Is it the 90's?
@Gadgets to celebrate your first purchase I'm sending you 10 more!!
@Gadgets Welcome to the fold! The first step is always the hesitant one...next thing you know you will be waiting for a table a table at T.G.I.Fridays and buy some cables, then pack of batteries, and before you know it you find yourself justifying a UV sanitizing bed vacuum to your husband on the porch while your mailman strolls down the street like your personal drug mule.
@JonT What's funny is that my wife has been desperately trying to purge stuff from our house (on advice of http://www.apartmenttherapy.com) and was on board for the 10 pack. I bought the 30 plus the 10 free. If you gave me any more than that- she might very well lose her mind.
Can these things double as hot pads?
@Eddiegrau Trivets!
@Eddiegrau Sort of. You can keep things cold with it, and it does retain some warmth as it is used in wet suits. As for heating , it has started to appear in electrical applications but I am not sure of it's ability to be fried. I would try on the stove of someone you disliked to begin with to be sure.
@Eddiegrau I googled it. It says neoprene is okay to 200. So as long as the dish isn't too hot it would work. But higher than that it may start to melt.
I'm in for 30. I ship a lot of stuff so may have to use most of them as a bubble wrap substitute.
@gdawson6 man. That may make me go get 60 more. Good thinkin'!
@gdawson6 Great idea!
i've lost my mind but i bought 90. gonna hand them out to the local homeless folks to use as mittens.
Check out @annwat 's goodwill, @JonT! Send an extra 10!
Wow. My order number perfectly described how I felt as I purchased the 30-pack.
"brainless-doleful-beef"
I got the thirty-bundle, but didn't get a chance to choose colors. I'd like one in black with little pink stars, one in blue and green plaid, one with puppies and kittens, one in dayglow green print, one in Georgia red and purple, . . .
@KDemo I love purple.
@Barney - Yeah, I ordered that purple one for you.
@JonT (or other staff) Do you know if anyone has ordered a 20-Pack yet?
@a yes, we've sold 46 20-packs so far. i have no idea why.
@shawn Wow.
@shawn 46 people weren't paying attention.
@Thumperchick @shawn the maths are hard. :)
Someone near Carrollton Texas call the local mental institutions and see if @JonT has escaped and gone off his meds. He thinks he's Oprah.
@Mac454
10 PACK
@JonT
@Mac454 @annwat I woke up and saw I had comments to my comment and checked and saw I got 10 and thought I was special, then I read more and saw @JonT lost his shit. Went to post about this all being an ellaborate ruse for him to satisfy his Oprah fantasy, and behold others have noticed my concerns.
This forum thread is why I love meh. I've already got about 5 years worth of stocking stuffers in my closet thanks to meh - so of course I just bought 30 more. Because, math. Duh. Now I guess I'm going to need to find more friends...
I'm going to cut them up and re-sew them as the fanciest damn wetsuit you ever saw.
@cc3 You're going to post pictures, right?
I swear to god I will take a picture of myself in nothing but these sleeves.
@lego6245 I cannot wait for the picture thread this sale will spawn.
I was just looking at other deal sites and one of them is selling a 4 pack of neoprene drink coaster for $3.99. Imagine how many drink coasters you could make out of 30 of these cases. The phone sized ones will easily make 2. Then instead of giving people gadget cases they don't want, you can give them drink coasters they don't want, but might actually use. All you need is scissors to cut them to size.
@remo28 You're a genius. You could sell a 30 pack for $4.99.
I didn't need one of these things, let alone 30 of them. But I feel like I owed y'all 8 dollarbucks just for the entertainment value of this thread.
Hey Meh, you went above and beyond this time. Another sellout. Amazing job! Keep up the good work.
How my morning went. I woke up, rolled over and checked Meh.com as is my pre-pee morning ritual. Being an East Coaster I have grown accustomed to the "Sold Out, sorry Fucker" message but to my surprise it wasn't sold out! Without even fully comprehending what I was doing I click to buy them. I found that I could purchase 10 or 20 but the 30 had the "Sorry Fucker" gray on it. Without a second thought I clicked the 20 and went on with my day.
Now that I've had time to process this transaction, why the hell could I order 10 AND 20 but not 30? Meh, you are liars, if you REALLY wanted to get rid of these you would've left 30 available and set the "sorry fucker gray" on the 10 and 20.... This makes no sense Meh, but then again, neither does purchasing 30 neoprene sleeves.
@petrosclark
@petrosclark My guess is you would have gotten a lot more duplicate items, but maybe you'd be ok with that.
I like purple.
@petrosclark I suspect that they already started portioning up the things for shipment. Logistics.
@petrosclark Someone conjectured that all the packs go in the same size box. The 10 packs are the largest, most expensive ones. They make more per unit on them. The 30s are mostly cell phone cases, and they paid and make the least on them. Who knows what the truth is.
Tracking number issued, but no lift-off to Fed-Ex yet. Hubby & I are decidedly in this one for the fun of the chase, & have already planned our own little competition "drinking/unboxing party" for when they arrive. Any guesses as to how many we ordered???? We actually only need around 7 of these sleeves for ourselves, but then plan to have everybody here watching the Superbowl pick whatever they want, & then ALL of whatever is left over will be donated to the school and the library - whom will, I am quite sure, be "super excited" to get them. As I am yet another contestant whom stayed up for 2 hours the other night trying for a Fuku, only to finally achieve a connection and fail, this is the best fun we can have for this amount of $$$ AND still not feel guilty about it, since we already know we'll be "sharing the wealth". So we don't care what they look like, or what size they are - we just can't wait to "unbox" them all and giggle like little kids about what we did!
my mom is going to be pissed when she finds out i ordered 30 useless cases. I have absolutely no excuse for her either. I just saw that they were 8 dollars and a completely odd sense of need for neoprene enveloped me...
@Zestible - Enveloped. Good one.
Took one (30) for the team:
@dave Those slip covers in the middle fit over a bottle of wine or a 1L water bottle very nicely.
Every time I think to myself, "Wow, my shipping number still isn't valid yet, maybe I should complain," then I think to myself, "It's called Meh, not OMGFASTSHIPPINGAWESOMESTUFF.com, so I should really just relax."
@Trin you understand us!
@JonT There needs to be a Meh.com version of this song: "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes / And other science facts / Just repeat to yourself, 'It's just a show, I should really just relax / For Mystery Science Theater 3000.'"
Hmm so you're saying that for $9 I can make a lot of friends? I think yes!
@rmf83 For $8 you can make even more!
@rmf83 Sending a 10 pack your way, 10 more friends!!
@rmf83 For $8 you can make even more friends.
Buy a round on the house, and you'll make even MORE friends! (Well, at least until they've finished the beer.)
@JonT Thanks Jon! If I give you some will you be my friend!?
Seeing the 20 for $9 and the 30 for $8 made me immediately buy the 30 pack. Great strategy. It worked
@noel I did the same thing. Actually was going to pass but who can say no to 30 when 20 cost more?
@noel @rlesueur
NY. Isn't that on the East Coast? meh
Finally! Something to do with my 30 tablets.
That was the best Impulse buy I have ever made.
@mvincerer I'm impulsively sending you 10 more!
In for 30, my toddler needs a pair of shark suits.
You asked what you can do to get rid of these. Give us a free Irk mug along with each purchase.
trusting-incredulous-flight for a 30 pack. I'm hoping I get a bunch of large ones so I have a place to store all my fucking PB n' J Spreaders. (Oddly enough, this was one of the top pictures on my order phrase image search.)
I'm definitely getting a dirty look for this dumb purchase. In for a 30...
Why did I buy two 30 packs? WHY!!!
@dewaynelawson
@dewaynelawson It's not too late...
I smell imminent sell out. Over 1000 sold in 10 minutes.
How can I send @JonT a 10-pack? Also, could you send me a 6-pack... washboard abs here I come...
@TheAlmighty1 Return to sender?
I bought 30! Meh! I am going to share them with all my nieces and nephews. I may even pad my daughters bed with them. I will take any extras and sew them together and make a cat bed for my cats.
I stay up in anticipation. The clock strikes 12. "Majsjxiodkandispqksnbeoo I MUST CHECK MEH!"
See deal, meh.
OK, in for 30. Why? Why not? I do not know. Is @JonT going to end up sending even more than the ridiculous 30 I ordered? If he does will I be making a neoprene suit coat? Will anything in the box be useful? Why am I asking so many questions? Do I blame @joelmw for all of my questions or absurd order? Should I ask another question?
@brennenrampton Questions are good.
@brennenrampton There are stupid questions. You should ask them anyway.
I bought the 30 x 3. I've taken my sleeping pill already so I'm not exactly sure what I'm buying.
@outz Adventure is what you're buying. That and 90 neoprene device sleeves.
@outz you're not hallucinating, you just won 10 more!
Which one of you actually bought all of these in the first place?
@DJMiracle I won't mention any names, but I bet it was @JonT.
why? and why do i keep falling for these..........?
Actually.... If there are small ones in my set, I might just take them with me to gem shows to keep my beads from scratching!
My cats are getting a new climbing and scratching post. The colors will be Fabulous.
Who, beside me, intends to use these for something other than the manufacturer intended purpose?
I got a laptop sleeve in the kickstarter Fuku. Now I will have thirty more sleeves.
The neoprene looks easy to sew, if you aren't too fussy on how it looks. Ear muffs perhaps. A blindfold so I can sleep while my wife reads a book.
@hamjudo See my post above, quite a few uses. Of which I selected the most viable from this shape and sizes. Cheap drum set. Weed errr plant growing and ankle/wrist/knee braces.
@hamjudo I want to make a water ski carrying bag out of mine. A friend of mine who makes and sells them says her machine hates sewing neoprene, but I'm willing to give it a go for one project.
@Perkalicious I was going to sew the small projects by hand. I will use a staple gun for the cat's scratching post.
@Perkalicious I read your earlier comment to the same effect, and both times my mind has translated 'water ski' to 'jet ski' which would be amazing and likely require 30x3 plus a secret word bonus 10.
My wife would kill me with the Snow White Kershaw knife I bought yesterday.
8 bucks for a box full of complete trash, meh I'll take one
Want to know what to use these for? Wrapping your co-worker's shit in useless neoprene sleeves while they're on vacation for the week. I can successfully wrap 30 odd shaped items around the office.
With some super glue, I might even be able to make it really fun.
@Konraden you're a diabolical genius.... trying to decide if i need another 60 for that purpose...
366 comments in 20 minutes?!? You're doing just fine, meh.
I want enough to stitch together a neoprene cover for my car. How many 30pks do I need?
I just figured out what happened. You guys went to CES and bought all the leftover swag. Vendors don't have to haul it home, Meh has several metric tons of Stuff, and we'll get it in installments. Amirite?
Holy fuck this is an incredible deal. Everybody should buy as many as they can. In fact, @jont, is it possible to order 30 and send them to @unixrab?
@DaveInSoCal Missed this... I say send all of the unsold palettes to him. Heh heh heh.
@DaveInSoCal @BillLehecka
I vote @Barney gets ALL the purple ones.
@MsELizardBeth Awww. I love purple.
You can definitely just double these amounts for Two for Tuesday...
Here is some other uses:
Shipping Insulation (Packing Peanuts)
Koozie
Coaster
Rag
Secret Santa Present (As long as it is a secret, you don't need enemies)
Pencil Case
You could also spray perfume on them, then use them to pad your underwear. Then every time you fart, it would smell nice.
NO Idea what I just bought, so I bought 2.. Gotta be something in there JUST FOR ME!! And surely a few of my friends @ 2 / 30 packs..LOL...The real joy of buying meh crap, is... It takes so long to get there, when it arrives, it is almost like a Surprise Party.. Never know what is gonna be in the box...
Does the Goat(@joelmw) get a whole pallet? Or just what's left over if by some chance it doesn't sell-out?
@BabyBear What they should do is send the goat a functioning electronic device suited to each cover. That would be horrible, wouldn't it, @JonT?
Me, watching this thread unfold.
my first meh purchase, I love your order numbers!
@sublimosa Yay! It's funny sometimes to google images of the order phrase words and post them.
@sublimosa thanks! Flattery will get you everywhere, 10 pack!
In 5 minutes the new Woot will post- "2-pack of laptop sleeves. $14.99 (+ shipping!) WE'RE STILL RELEVANT!!"
I just bought 30 purely because this forum thread is the best entertainment that $13 can buy!
@Mendanbar you mean you didnt get christmas vmp?? I dont even know who you are anymore :(
@mehybe Aww! You're acting like you cared, or something.
Im going to use these to keep my hot pockets, hot in my pocket. Then burn the roof of my mouth on cheezy lava!
@opiemeh Boiling lava hot!
Mehrican Exchange 3.0 is going to be FULL of these. I might sit out that one.
How the fanciful fuck have these not sold out yet?
@Thumperchick They are holding half the inventory for the East Coast to buy at 9am.
@Thumperchick my guess is they have 1,000,000,000 of them
@Thumperchick @stryper2000 More! They have more of these. Like, the whole world's supply. I think they raided the factory.
@Thumperchick In all seriousness, they must have over 100k.
I hope they pack these better than they did the ceramic mugs. I don't want them to show up all broken.
@SSteve
Did you know if you take the letters from "meh" and "case" you can create the phrase, "a scheme"?
Yay, sold out! Don your battle helmets and let the whining commence now!
@narfcake it won't be long
@narfcake No complaints from me, I saved $3 by only getting a 10 pack. When I think of it, I would have bit on a lot of these sold out items. But since I didn't my $$ is in my bank and not meh's. So great job meh on another sellout!!!!
I suspect your warehouse looks something like "Trouble with Tribbles" but with neoprene sleeves.
After doing some more quick math, it looks like Meh had roughly 175,000 of these and there were 5000+ lucky recipients getting way more than any individual needs, PLUS however many @JonT gave away.
Still amazes me they sold so cheap, the reviews on some of the Built NY stuff are decent.
@Stallion i've had a few built producs before. they can have a plasticky smell when they first arrive, but they are reasonably well built and protective. i'm really hoping i get one of the 15 inch laptop sleeves with handles.
@vampje Me too. Just bought a new laptop and it needs "things."
@vampje Same here, bought my wife a Black Friday laptop for Xmas and she has been shopping a sleeve type bag with a handle. Fingers crossed I get one, AND it doesn't take too long to arrive.
@vampje If you didn't, message me. I bought two 30 packs, so there's a good chance I might have one, and I've no need for it.
@atravis6 if you wanna get rid of an iPad Air 2 case, lemme know
@atravis6 would be great to set up an exchange forum. I bought 30+ the "bath" thing and already have a lot of sleeves. Am looking for an iPad Air2 also...
@fjp999 That's a good idea. :)
@vampje Your homes are going to smell like Neoprene for weeks! Muahahahaha
@VeeDubTDI that is what the balcony is for. that and i live in socal, so i can just open the window and air the place out.
@sskim3 Will do (: I'm looking for a good fit for my iPad original.
@fjp999 Any suggestions where/how to?
@atravis6 I really don't know the set up here at meh. New here, my first purchase. Maybe ask for a VMP Lounge for special posting/back & forth thing like this!?!
3 words: Trick or Treat.
Last year's batteries were a real big hit.
@Teripie fucking brilliant
What did I do last night? I am now afraid of the UPS guy. Oh my gawd.
@mamawoot actually the ups guy only delivers it to your local post office, this is smartpost so your usps guy will bring it to your door in about 2 weeks
Mine arrived 3 days early. I received the 30 pack that I ordered, but the free 10 pack that I “won” from JonT for being spiteful is coming in a separate package. The contents break down like this:
2 16” laptop sleeves
3 10” tablet envelopes
4 twist top sleeves for 11” MacBook Air
10 slim sleeves for various Kindles
7 slim covers for various Kindles
3 twist top sleeves - Fire
1 stretch cover – Fire
Over 1/3 of these are of the black/white polka dot scheme, and there are a lot of duplicate patterns amongst the same size items, but I’m happy with them. I will spend next week passing these out to friends and random strangers.
@Trillian Pic? Looking forward to mine... Even though that polka dot pattern is ghastly.
I like purple.
@Trillian spiteful? I must have missed that LOL
I think some poor new employee at Meh. is using my 30lb box of 90 sleeves for a desk. At least for the past 8 days since "label (was) created."
Or,
They're using 90 sleeves as padding to ship me something else that weighs 30lbs. Bacon, hopefully.
No, I don't know what I'm going to do with 90 sleeves either, but at least I'll have options. Mwahh ha ha.
@djugurba I have similarly been waiting but mine is now ON THE MOVE. 33.5 lbs.
@Trin I would take 30 lbs of bacon, over these things, any day.
@TheCO2 Yeah, but they didn't offer us bacon, did they. If they'd offered bacon, it would have sold out so fast we'd never have heard the END of it from the rabid East Coasters.
@Trin This is true. Cheers!
@TheCO2 Y'know, I pimped the Bakon vodka when it first came out, and I love those guys, but honestly, it's just not that drinkable. Bacon is my spirit animal, but outside of using it for bloody marys, it's hard to find a good use for the Bakon vodka. Now, bacon chocolate, that's a whole other thing.
@Trin We were talking about it, with a bartender, when it first came out and she gave us a small glass to try some, because we didn't think it could really taste like bacon, but it sure does. You're right, though, it really isn't drinkable, by itself. We were trying to figure out, at the time, what all it could be used for and could only come up with Bloody Marys.
Why, these aren't ugly. These are very nice. I'm not usually lucky with random lots but I got 3 of what I was hoping to get, bright floral cases (reminds me somewhat of Andy Warhol's flowers) for a 16" laptop. My bath runneth over but, being a greedy meher, still looking forward to opening the box of 10 @JonT (thank you!) was good enough to gift me.
@Alien I guess if you were hoping for flowery, then it's a win.
@TheCO2 It may also be a win for staid customers who were spared the gaudiness of these beauties.
@Alien Why do I have a feeling no one was spared?
Box of 10 turned out to be fifteen. The zipper cases will be useful.
Thanks again, @JonT.
@Alien These are damn good! except for the amount of odor... really need to wash 15 of them before use, and give out the other 15 asap. I hate my small apartment full of formaldehyde :'<

@mediocrebot
you've hit bottom and you're digging
@mediocrebot I can't even wait for all the meh coming my way. in for 30.
In for 30 of these... No idea why... I don't need more crap sitting around my house but I'm a sucker
@unixrab So, how many did you buy?
@mediocrebot In for 30. Something feels fishy about this one. What are you guys up to? o.O
@rpg714 these sleeves cost like pennies to manufacture and as of this comment, meh has $16,000 from this deal so far.
@mediocrebot If i buy enough maybe i can open my own crap store?
@theco2
@mediocrebot Wait a minute! $26383/3224=$8 and change which means almost everyone went with a 30 pack, which means 3224x30 sleeves=96000+!!!! How many hundreds of thousands of these darn things did you guys buy!!!???
@mediocrebot Taking a bath in 30 of these things it seems. What was I thinking?
@jont did anybody buy 20 of these? im dying to know.
@mediocrebot Suddenly the free-MVP deal makes perfect sense. Evil plan.
@mediocrebot Finally, some where to stash all my bath salts.
@mediocrebot I was going to buy the 30, but apparently that's sold out? Settled for the 10. Geez, I really bought into this whole taking a bath thing, didn't I?
@mediocrebot i don't want o ake bath, i'm not dirty.
@mediocrebot bath?
Dear Meh,
Whatever you do, please don't give me any of these things! I will now go and take my bath in piece! Thank you for your cooperation.
@rayboga " I tried to warn you"
@unixrab I just noticed this. Extremely funny and especially since I'm not a female.
@TheCO2 Thank you sir. ...
30 was cheaper than 20? They REALLY want to be rid of them.
@Cagney it makes the 30 seem like a much better deal
Bought 90...Meh
@spencer060 You are awesome!
@spencer060 let's make it an even 100...10 pack comin' at you!
@JonT I love Meh :-D
@JonT 99 new friends!
@spencer060 I love purple
@spencer060 I love purple.
@spencer060 ARE YOU SECRETLY @BARNEY LOGGED INTO THE WRONG ACCOUNT???
@MsELizardBeth I love orange.
@theco2 orange > purple
@Headly I knew I liked you.
I don't need these. I have a 200 sq. foot apartment.
In for 30, Cheerio.
@amillar7 You can decorate a wall with them. And have 30 pockets for putting your weed and various other sundries in. :'|
@amillar7 sending you 10 more to fill up that extra space!
@JonT Can zipper one to the next one and make a fire escape ladder with little pockets for his feet!
@amillar7 cover the walls with soundproofing neoprene.
I bought 2x30. I can only imagine what my house will look like once they get here.
@harish more like what it will smell like
I think the only possible use for these is as packing material for my move in a month.
@rrapnek Yay dunnage!
@rrapnek Better make sure you're prepared, sending you 10!
@rrapnek That is an awesome idea. Some of the larger ones could separate your dinner plates.
Thought about getting 60 for $16, then remembered I need 0, so 30 is plenty.
textured-loony-holly
I'd like to sew a neoprene carrying case for a water ski. Feel free to send any extras @JonT & co.
Must not hit the buy button. Must not hit the buy button.
What the hell did I just buy? I don't even own any electronics. I guess I just bought 30 lunch boxes.
@dreamover You're making me hungry. Thanks!
My dad gave me 3 laptop bags that will probably never get used while I'm bathing, much less carrying my computers. I'm pretty sure I don't need 30 more cases for the bathtub or shower or carrying my laptop around in. On the other hand, my dog did chew a small chunk out of the laptop bag I do use, so taking a bath with it is out of the question, unless I want the stuff inside to get wet. Meh!
I got 60, I'm not sure why yet.
Really don't need these at all. Will probably sit in a corner and collect dust. Here's my 8 bucks.
I have a feeling that the 5 trillion pieces of floating plastic trash in the ocean is now going to be 5.1 trillion pieces thanks to Meh...you anti-eco bastards!!!! What the @#%! am I gonna do with 30 neoprene cases!?????? You're geniuses!!!! It's like Homer when he bought the extended warranty - How can I lose???? A lot of people we know are going to be getting neoprene cases for and next Christmas too - excellent Secret Santa gifts...BOOM Christmas shopping done 354 days early! I love you meh! And it'll be priceless - they'll all look quizzically at each other when they notice they all have similar neoprene cases for their junk...fuck 'em, it's the thought that counts!
Just use this shit as dunnage for my knives that I ordered.
My daughter made me buy 30. She's hoping there is a sleeve for her 17 inch laptop. 2 of them, would be nice, 1 for her, 1 for me. I actually have 2 of these for my iPad that I never use. I perfer my folding case with built in stand.
I tried looking for craft ideas to recycle these into though. The only thing I could think of was buy 90 and sew them together like a quilt to make a floor mat to lay on, do yoga, etc.
@remo28 May the Force be with you.
@remo28 I totally read that as "...to lay on, do dog yoga" and thought that would be aewsome!
@Slyness if my dog wants to go yoga I won't stop him.
THIS SHIT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stupid I am quitting meh for ever just as soon as I see tomorrow deal
@Anonymous I say that every night... Never gonna happen.
I was actually looking to buy a sleeve for the Kindle my wife got for Christmas. Judging by the comments so far, at 1/30 useful, I'm ahead of most of the folks buying so far.
I've sent a lot of people to Meh lately, you could send me a 10 pack for being so meh and sharing the love!
@Baybay11 Keep begging. :)
a cheered up sucka
bought many ugly cases
has no devices
@Alien HELLO BROTHER!
@Alien Cuz of your haiku
I'm going to send you some
Here comes a 10 pack.
@Alien88
regards to mother
though she always liked you best
but who could blame her
@JonT
happy that haiku
did not proliferate here
like the bath mentions
Gah, I need this to sellout before I buy 30 of the damned things. Hurry up people, use your VMP, so I don't!
in for thirty, hopefully all iPads lol, so my girlfriend can use them to cover the iPads the school she teaches at uses!! awesome deal.
@danmanstx bath and ** at the school
Also, whose ass is that on the right in the last pic?
@Thumperchick Looks like the sweet, juicy melons of @harrison.
@hart
no 10 pack...
@JonT for calling that ass "sweet, juicy melons" or for guessing it's @harrison's?
@hart
@Thumperchick (yeah i can confirm it is, in fact, my ass)
@hart Is he holding a bottle of Korbel?
@harrison
@hart
@Cinoclav yeah that was a rough day
@harrison Maybe it wouldn't have been as rough if you had opened the damn bottle!
So glad right now I missed the Xmas VMP.
My mind is telling me no, but my body, yeah, my body is telling me yesssssss.
I sense @JonT is giving so many of these away because Meh decided to use his home/apartment for storing these things.
In for a big nine-zero. Neoprene smells delightful.
Kidding.
Kind of.
Not.
First meh purchase. Could fill up the bath and pretend I'm Scrooge McDuck...
Question: If I had a dollar for every time I've bought something I didn't need or really want, how many dollars would I have?
Answer: fuck you and mind your own business
These cases are good quality, but they're really not that useful. Not even yard sale fodder.
You mean I could have just taken three baths instead of ordering a melodic-offbeat-sheep?
When are people going to catch on that using the word bath isn't going to magically net them a free 10 pack. So far more people have gotten it for calling the sleeves junk. So according to science, if I call these cheap crappy bubble bath substitute, I will maximize my chances of being noticed. Please notice me. I want to feel special. And have extra sleeves.
@undecipher That's just crappy.
@theco2 excuse you that's science
@undecipher They do float, but not bubble. In fact even burning it is more a chemical smoldering that is not healthy to breathe. So really it cannot be a crappy bubble bath substitute. You could however make a duck with enough glue.
I hope these are not the next speaker docks.
Fun fact: there are about 800 more buys than there are meh button clicks right now
wow, now it's over 1100
It's hilarious how everyone is trying to get free ones in addition to the ones they already didn't want but bought anyway. Meh has twisted our minds! What kind of weird science is this?!
@Pony but i didnt want and didnt buy... In fact, do you want the one i got in my bag of crap a few months ago? Fits an 11 incher (IIRC)
@mehybe Oh hell no. I don't even have any use for the ones I bought.
@Pony It is the best kind of social experiment.
I know it's completely crazy but I got 90 and I'm EXCITED AS HELL to get them. The more I think about it the more excited I get -- which is the opposite of how things usually work. I think I'm going to have an unboxing party.
I can't believe I read the whole thing.
@paula Now we need a brief report on everything you read.
@paula no you didn't...
literal-juvenile-sushi
@MehAmphetamine Fred Gwynne, right? Truly a renaissance man.
Tl;dr
I fingered my dog
@baseba4551 No, you need to read it all.
This has become a competition to get JohnT's attention for crap they never wanted in the first place. Well done meh.
Why did I just buy 60 of these fukubukuro-ing things. What will I even do with them? Meh.
@Dorkfish92 You're such a dorkfish. You're going to make something really pretty.
@theco2 Something pretty dorky
@Dorkfish92 Also, Meh employees. I give you permission to add a zero and send me 600 instead of 60 so I can watch my girlfriend freak out.
@Dorkfish92 I'm actually wondering why they didn't disguise this AS a fuku bag and watch everyone freak out as they all received 100 of these things.
I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do with all the the extras after I pick out the 1 or 2 I'm hoping will be useful to me. I've decided they will do nicely for gift bags to hold many of the smaller meh gifts I'm sure everyone who knows me will be receiving for various holidays this year.... It's going to be a very meh year...
@viciousterra I think Meh needs to have some kind of contest to where everyone posts pictures of what they have done with all of their cases.
@theco2 The prize: 10 more cases!
@Pavlov It's about time someone posted a meme.
Oh mann. I'm think i'll just start walking up to cafes and giving one to everyone with a laptop/tablet out. Let it rain neoprene sleeves! [throws sleeves in the air as my theme song plays in the background]
@eaticecream 1 or 30.
@theco2 How about we start off with a good even 20 each?
@eaticecream Either way, someone is going to think you were on Meh.
In for 60, an nice supply of gifts for the inevitable holiday parties and such. "Oh you don't have a 13" laptop? Wait, you don't like pink plaid? Oh..."
Nobody is going to want gifts from me again :)
I like purple.
I said "bath" out loud and now I have a small Aussie trying her darnedest to crawl under the bed.
I received the booger green version with the cartoon skulls on it in my Kickstarter Fuku. It's cute!
I wonder if I can make beer can coozy things with some of them?
Edit--fussy-dazzle-foot. Is this a sign I need to try to make slippers, too?
@LaVikinga !Beer Can coozy! Genius idea! You belong on here: http://www.dumpaday.com/category/genius-ideas-2/
@Zebra I've also been known to hammer a nail into the wall with a coffee cup, so I think my husband might argue the genius ideas part. I keep telling him monkeys use whatever tools are at hand. HE says "then USE THE PROPER TOOLS!" He might have a point, says the woman who hung 11 pictures with her coffee cup and only had to worry about getting the cup into the dishwasher instead of returning his tools to the proper place.
I love purple.
@LaVikinga This is a Tim Allen standup comedy bit. Seriously. We saw him in a club before he became famous. He maintains that a woman needs only two things for stuff around the house: a coffee mug and a butter knife. Men need the proper tool, and they'll take three hours at the hardware store to find and get it. That's the difference between men and women.
@SIMBM I agree with that in a way. I see Mrs. cengland0 prying open jars with steak knives. She will use a butter knife instead of a screwdriver. Pliers instead of a wrench. It puts chills up my spine but what can you do?!?!?!
@SIMBM I finally broke down and bought myself a very petite hammer which conventiently has a screwdriver with changeable tips hidden in the handle. Fact is, I'm busy (lazy) and it's easy to make a tool than go get a tool and then worry about him finding it three weeks later hidden between the couch cushions because I got side tracked.
@LaVikinga That gives me a great idea at least for one of them with a zipper. I have a cordless drill/screwdriver and it has a lot of different attachments (torque, phillips, standard, extensions, etc). I can just put them in one of these cases and store it with the tool.
@cengland0 Holy smokes! I can incorporate your idea for my Dremel and all its extra parts which don't want to stay secure in the case. You can add Velcro pretty easily if no zippered cases show up at your door.
@LaVikinga I own WAY more tools than my husband does.
I just thought...As a first year teacher these will make great "prizes" for my students. I feel they might actually think they are worth something and worth doing their math,silly little humans! Too pricey for 90 on a teachers salary though! In for 30
so if you'll do anything to get rid of these does that mean hypothetically all I would have to do is ask and you would send @unixrab a couple (hundred)?
@RedHot [see consolidated response above]
@unixrab you're home for every package that comes to your door? no one ever just drops it off on the stoop without knocking?
@RedHot Correct! my doorbell has a motion sensor ( http://ring.com ) I'm alerted when any person steps into my yard or driveway.... not to mention that I know both the UPS drivers that cover my house, and the FedEx guy (Steve) who always pulls into the driveway instead of parking on the street. Between woot and amazon prime, They're here a lot.
Hey look! The Meh badge-thing today spells MEH. I guess they were saving that one for a special occasion. Neoprene special.
@ACraigL - Good catch on the clickface.
So, impaired by NyQuil, I still managed to wake up to turn on my laptop to check the site at 11 CST last night. Then apparently fell right back to sleep and dreamt that I had seen today's deal. I need help.
Then this morning, when I couldn't remember what the deal was, I plugged in my now dead laptop and, scrolling through the product photos, inadvertantly got a closeup of someone's ass first thing in the morning. haha, I think I'm going back to bed now
@Kleineleh I once had a dream that Meh sold one of those rotary slicers you see at the deli. How awesome would that have been.
@neuromancer I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who has had dreams about this place! And yeah, I'd like to see one of those for sale even if just for the comments
Not sure these were in equal lots, but since they were bucketed in 10, 20, and 30 units (and I'm getting super-mathy here), the average qty was 20. Meh had 5991 total sales, which means they had approximately 119,860 of those neoprene things. Almost 120K? Is that possible?
@ACraigL income divided by units sold is 8.4. Surprising that it's above 8 given that 30 were cheaper than 10, but it still looks like the average wasn't too far off from 30.
@ACraigL Don't even try to math. It's not worth it.
@Pantheist Income includes shipping and tax where applicable.
@neuromancer C'mon... you think anyone here is paying shipping right now?
@ACraigL They're out there. Not everyone checks this site everyday so they missed out on the free 2-months of VMP.
@narfcake Oh, totally. I'd just be surprised if anyone purchased THIS without VMP.
@ACraigL Well, @unixrab will be receiving one without VMP.
@cengland0 no
@cengland0 Ha. Yes. That. Him. Ha.
@ACraigL
Now I wonder, did they take into account all the freebies @JonT gave away and remove them from inventory before selling out? Or did our resident Oprah just screw himself big time...
@Cinoclav Yes; just yes.
@Cinoclav I'm guessing they are accounted for. I checked my order status to follow up on an older order, and saw the 10 pack from @JonT as a placed order for $0.
@lichme Wow, I'm surprised considering how long it's typically taken to send out other freebies.
@Cinoclav I got some new tools that make it much much easier for me to do giveaways, YAY!
@JonT Oh yeah, prove it! (To me... only to me!)
I went to bed at 10:30 last night (WAY early for me) and woke up unexpectedly at 12:01am ET. I checked the site and in my sleepy state I was highly confused as to WTF this deal even was. Now that I see what the shit actually is, it's long since sold out... And I want some. Damn. Lesson learned, never go to bed early and/or never check Meh without being fully coherent.
Goddamn, shipped already?! That's impressive as hell. I'm so excited. Sure, this stuff is going to be flooding eBay, but I'm in a bunch of crafting groups where people buy stuff at or slightly below retail to help out fellow crafters. I'm hoping to profit a hundo or so from this. And boy do I need it.
As you wish...
@Trillian A good variety! My 70 still hasn't left Texas yet ... both tracking numbers don't even show up in FedEx's system.
@narfcake Im also seeing weird tracking # things. One package shows "Shipping info sent on 1/14" but the other two return a "This tracking number cannot be found" error...
@heli0s Yeah, it's a bit strange, but so long as it won't end up taking almost 6-weeks like what happened with some randoms at shirt.woot before, I'm fine.
@narfcake Let's not get started on shirt.woot taking forever.
@Trillian I'm seeing spots. ...and really ugly flowers.
I like the flowers.
@TheCO2 You and @thumperchick are quite the troopers in dealing with their repeated blunders! In my case, it wasn't anything they had to print or procure; just pack. And it's not like there was any server-overload-crashing issues like it was with TeeTurtle 1.0 that could be blamed on either.
@narfcake Yes, we do have a lot in common. For that reason, I think @thumperchick should marry me. ...or at least let me see more pictures of her dog.
@Trillian Did your package ever update from label (shipping) info received before you received it?
@juststephen Yes, label created 1/14, but FedEx didn’t receive until 1/16. It was handed off to USPS early on Saturday and delivered same day. The FedEx site updated, but USPS sent me text updates after they got it, so I didn’t keep checking the FedEx tracking page.
@TheCO2 I'll have to take more puppy pics for you. :)
@Thumperchick YAY!!!
@TheCO2 Loki in his cone of bullshit -
@Thumperchick Why does he have to wear that? Should have gotten him an inflatable one.
@TheCO2 he wore that for a few weeks after his bilateral TTA surgery. It's been off for a month now. We are all glad it's gone.
I got my 30, all for Kindle. Don't need any of it. Im going to make me a shirt.
@04600rr Something classy like this, I hope?
@Trillian except with much more zipper
@04600rr Mine are also all for Kindle. Now we know why they have so many. Nobody bought the Kindle Fire. I can't even give these away.
@kDCYorke i manage to give some away at work. Lol im just going to leave the rest in the breakroom at work and say its free, take 1 or 2 or 30.
I suddenly have a need to buy 27 kindles and 3 gps units. You guys that received sleeves for apple products or netbooks/laptops....consider yourself lucky!
@griffinua LOL, the Meh bundle should have just straight said "30 Kindle Fire cases, HD and non-HD." What size are the GPS sleeves? I didn't get any of those. I did get some other stuff, but mostly Kindle Fire 7" cases.
@Eddiegrau Nice. Thanks for that. I mean... the knife might've been overkill for... you know... packing tape, but still. Nice.
My cases are on their way, as of today.
@TheCO2 Don't feel so bad. The Fukubukuros haven't left Meh yet according to @Jont
@Teripie That was more of a, "I'm not looking forward to getting them."
Nothing makes me wonder why I bought these quite as much as looking at 30 sleeves taking up nearly two cubic feet of space... and having no use for a single one. Meh pulled the wool over our eyes! Their junk is now our junk! ... I think I've discovered their (not so secret) business plan.
And just for fun I did a little math... so let's say my box of 30 is 1.7 cubic feet. And let's say they sold 120000 sleeves in about 4000 boxes... that's 6800 ft3... or the capacity of two 53' tractor trailers shipped from China, to Built's warehouse, to Meh's warehouse, to our houses for $8 per box. Someone lost some money along the line. O_O
@johnamo I don't know why, but I have the feeling Meh still a killing.
@johnamo I need to do a math about the amount of formaldehyde produced by 120000 sleeves. formaldehyde is easy to be removed in water. but chronic inhalation of formaldehyde is carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic. Lovely things just need to do the laundry :P
Got mine today!!! The cats love the box and I love my cases. :-) I was hoping for a 13" case, but oh well! More than pleased with my purchase. Meh for life!
9-10" Tablet/E-reader Envelope (10 B&W Polka Dots, 10 Black, 2 Purple&Navy Polka Dots)
Kindle Fire Sleeves (12 Multi-Color Polka Dots)
Kindle Sleeves (15 Black)
Stretch Kindle Cases (6 Purple&Navy Polka Dots, 10 Black)
iPad2 Slim Sleeve (25 Flower Patterned)
16" Laptop Sleeve (1 Flower Patterned)
I like purple.
What a pile of shit! Ok, I'll bite. I'm in for a 30 pack.
@aaronhurt +10 MORE BUDDY
@JonT this is amazing, I'm so glad this site (and forum!) exists.
horrible.
@unixrab Thanks for being such a valued member of the community! You get a 30 pack!
@JonT Buahahahah. This has me laughing.
@JonT God I love this site <3
@JonT yesssss
@JonT @unixrab send along a signed VMP swag just to taunt him :P
@cengland0 out loud!! Great stuff.
@JonT no need. I drive forum traffic for free out of my love for @snapster. Keep your ... uh....
@communist
@unixrab @JonT I think we have somebody that needs at least 100 of these babies in thier home!
@Dash @redhot @Karzan @cengland ... Children Listen. @JonT knows if any unwanted packages show up at my door - They get refused all the way back to Texas.... on meh's dime. Now...go play in the street.
@unixrab Not sure you can do that if it gets delivered when you are not home. They will just leave it by your front door. Do you work at home so you're certain you'll be there to refuse the package?
@cengland0 of course I work from home! [ and I have one of these: https://ring.com/ !!!!]
@unixrab and then you get that bin delivered to your door for being sucha wonderful antagonist
@sp3ar Pretty sure that I am either the Foil or the Anti-Hero...
@JonT
@unixrab
@communist
Uh... buck a piece at a boot sale maybe? Sure, in for 30.
muddled-blind-suggestion
@ruouttaurmind resplendent-navigable-centaur We are on the same page broheim.
@ruouttaurmind that looks good!
@dfunk29 I might have had one too many of those 'cause I just ordered a SECOND 30 PACK. Why? I have no f-ing idea! ![wild-omniscient-bait][1] [1]:
Meh ... you did a really good job of making me think about buying this waste of money ... ... ... but I'm going to be strong!! (For now.)
Now, could you sell me 29 devices?
I bought the ten pack and I have no idea why. I blame @joelmw.
@gommiebears Oh good! Someone to blame :-)
@gommiebears I'm giving you a 10 pack and I have no idea why! THANKS @joelmw!
@gommiebears @JonT Yay, Capitalism!
shaggy-squalid-wind. in for 30
@Headly that's gross! Have a 10 pack!
@JonT sweet! animated-childish-word
@JonT BTW I love that one of your servers is named bacon-2.
@Headly ah, it's bEacon-2. I am dissapoint.
Next big t-shirt idea:
I went to Meh and all I got was this stupid free 10-pack.
Just to be clear, I have absolutely no clue of what was my rad purchase, but hey, 30 for $8 vs. 20 for $9, I'm in. And I guess it is excitable-babbling-stitch.
@ggomes and then, GOD F*CKING DAMNIT, I bought 10 more. Meh, just send me like a hundred and I swear I'll take 50 back to Brazil and make a parade of of fucking neoprene. Because fuck my money, that's why!
MacGyver could probably escape prison with just 2 of these. With 30 of them, there is no telling what I'll be capable of! evil laugh
I was tempted, if it wasn't clear in the past hints I donate/give away virtually all my Mehs to my employees or goodwill ( with exception of 2 of 4 rc helis, 1 of 3 comforters, and as of Friday my Dyson ) but this would be a stretch.
Can't believe I stayed up for this. Meh.
@judahsma1 me neither! Have a 10 pack!
@JonT just out of curiosity how many of these do you have on hand?
@JonT Wait, what?? While I appreciate your generosity, don't send me your crap to dispose of. Or cram into my already overflowing apartment full of crap I actually bought that I don't know what to do with LOL Meh damn! You guys must have like 5 million of these.
Somebody better buy all of these, or else you know what the next fuku is gonna be.
@lichme I got one in FUKU #2 and I tried to give it away and was unsuccessful. I still have it by the front door ready to give it away to the first person that comes to the house that has anything that will fit in it.
In for 90. This will go over well at the office!
I couldn't help myself. In for 30. The crazy "it was cheaper than 20" logic sucked me in
@AnnaB and then I bought 60 more because I think I can use these as a school team fundraiser item. Knowledge Bowl team. How geeky is that?
In for 90. All my dreams are complete
Now I'll have to go out and spend a fortune to buy 30 gizmos to fit them! Shit.
Love the write up again, two days of back to back game killing... Bought 60 of them to show appreciation
I got 90 because I couldn't resist. I need therapy.
@christinerenee You aren't the only one...see you in the waiting room
Hmmm...3 of the 30 packs. I think I have a death wish. Seriously...it's a good thing I do sell at flea markets...although it's usually used, vintage or antiques. Oh well, might as well throw something completely wild and interesting into the mix.
tenacious-husky-berserker
(yeah, I have to be beserk to buy that many cases...just can't wait to see what the package looks like when it arrives)
Bought 30 that I don't need. Soo tempted to buy 60 more that I don't need.
Bath?
I don't own a tablet, e-reader, or laptop. I don't know what I would do with them, but I strangely want some.
Gf said she gives her dog a bath. I told her, "If the tub isn't full of water, it's a shower." "It would be weird to say I'm giving my dog a shower." So, I think the secret word should be shower.
Sorry meh. Couldn't convince my wife that these are worth taking up space in the apartment. I think she still resents the corner of the bedroom filled with two fukus.
@denton You built a shrine? Cool.
If I buy 30, can I stitch them all together and make a wetsuit?
@Knightp Better buy 60 to make sure you have full coverage.
@hallmike Great idea!
misanthropic-jinxed-prison
Well, the zipper on my laptop sleeve is coming apart. I figure instead of going to Target and buying one laptop sleeve for $10, I might as well buy 30 sleeves from Meh for $8 and hope that at least one of those is a laptop sleeve.
@mortonfox sweet Krampus order word! That earns you a 10 pack!
I would absolutely love to buy 90, but my house is already full of enough crap. Maybe I could have them shipped directly to the donation center down the street...
So you're trying to get rid of them, why can I only buy 90? I wanted over 9000! Or you know, maybe 300? Just enough to make my family hate me more than they already do.
@Zelucifer maybe 10 more will help!
@JonT Can't hurt, at least it's an even 100 now, thanks! Not quite enough to make them say Meh, but definitely a good start.
BATH!!!
Thanks a lot, now I have to spend the next 3 hours figuring out creative uses for 30 cases...
Actually need 1. Bought 30. Hope I get 1 that fits and isn't too bad looking.
@djslack ornery-uppity-show leads to this image:
from an article entitled "Jews alive and kicking, to dismay of many". A bit much for my first try at the order image game.
Aaaaaand I'm in for 60... I'm never gonna get better... >sigh<
I only bought 30, but now I'm thinking I should get 90 and stuff them under the saggy couch cushions.
KuoH
@kuoh I can just see the look on someone's face, when they lift the couch cushion, looking for something.
@kuoh Read that as 'soggy couch cushions,' assumed you were a disgusting human. Sorry!
@brhfl You bet you should be sorry! There is no proof that I am human!
Can I just have the scale cup?
I got 30 just out of fear they'd send me more if I didn't pay up.
@TheSuss That would me scary.
In for 90. I do not know why.
What in the hell?
@SteveOOO TEN PACK!
Yes! I was hoping for just such a thing! or maybe I'm Sunday drunk...
@cleverogre I'm drunk...ON GIVEAWAYS! 10 PACK.
Big charity garage sale coming up in March. A huge stash of these might just raise some money for our resource center on ASD! In for the max! Sorry I missed out on the bath deal, though. Er, unless I DIDN'T miss out!
strange-foggy-dove -- Yup, that sounds like me. Looks as though I was lucky to get in for 30, bath or no bath. Wish I had seen that the 20 packs have more of the large ones. Ah, well. Our super garage sale for Autism Spectrum Disorders will certainly benefit from whatever I get. In fact, I'll be unloading tons of assorted crap to the sale. Maybe I'll finally be able to see the floor in the spare room. I think it's got carpet, but I'm not quite sure....
I don't need them. I bought 30 of them. Then I scrambled to figure out what to do with them. BOOM! Some night when my husband is sleeping all of his electronics and cords and everything will be put into sleeves! MUHAWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
And that might be the worst practical joke ever. :-(
I'M A GUNNA MAKE A QUILT. Every night, I'll rest under a blanket of Meh.
@ivymae Please post a photo when this happens!
If you don't order 30 it's like you're losing money.
My friend just bought 90. 3 30 packs baller wish I could too😭
I already bought a 30 pack, but if @jonT talks real slow to me, I'll buy another 30 pack.
In for 90!
Instant regret, changed my order to 60 "bath" instead.
@andantespeak Did you change your order to 2x 30 packs or 3x 20 packs?
Who else thinks there will be a whiny East Coaster complaining about not getting a chance at a free 10 pack?
@rchae73 Only one??
Hell, I'm in. Ship 'em to work, open 'em up at work, put a sign on them "Free to a good home" +1 Karma points
@johnvoliva I'm not currently employed. Maybe I could use them as business card holders (for my cards) to hand to potential employers? Think that would that help my employment chances???
@SmockJata fantastic idea, especially for interviews. Print the cards to fit nicely into the case....
If I go in for 30 more can you send a box of all purple ones to @barney?
@TehMaliron I LOVE purple!
Felt like a solid "Meh" then I read this entire page of comments. Like, all 500 of them.
I've almost convinced myself that I want these.
TL;DR: Comments are Dangerous.
@tonycolorado Bought 30 - Got 10 free. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
Bought 30. went back for 60 more.
I need help.
Keep the alternate use ideas coming, I'll need them.
Liked the Halloween idea best...cheaper than candy.
Wow. Bought thirty. Read the comments. Feel like I've been given a bath. Oh well. Sometimes being a VMP burns a little.
@phronemo I'm just kidding. I love you guys!
Can they be used as hats for my cats? This is an impurrrrtant question.
Sooo like, for $8, that's about a quarter dollar for each. This reminds me of 2002? when I bought 15 stupid logitech travel mice for $10 or something ridiculous. I gave them out as "awards" for LAN parties... maybe I'll use these as "gifts" too and the world will be happy. Or, maybe they'll sit in a fucking closet and collect dust.
I'm guessing #2...
I just ordered 30. I'm sure this is a bad decision.
In for 60 just so i can see how many places i can have them mysteriously end up in my room mates stuff until he goes crazy
Meh-ther of Dog... I'm in for 30 and feel so dirty.
In for 90..probably 180 in a sec. Because my husband and I both have VMP accounts.
Well for better or for worse, I ordered 3 of the 30 packs...
I'm embarrassed to ask but why does everyone keep saying Bath? I know I'll feel stupid when you tell me.
I read the description over and over again but I don't see anything about that other than "We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair." Nothing about getting rewarded in any way for saying that word.
@cengland0 when all you have is rubber duckie, everything looks like a bath
@cengland0 Same here. And, it seems like there is more than one 'secret word' but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.
@cengland0 Read the top few bits of this chat (the bits that are hidden because this chat is getting long). @JonT is giving cases away to people who say the secret words!
@curtise That much is obvious, but how did the first person know? Where is it all coming from?
@curtise I see @JonT giving some away but only to the first person that said Bath. Others have said it too so it appears to be more random than anything else. It's almost annoying to see that stupid Bath word being said over and over again from people trying to get something for free. I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago and I'm still reading these stupid messages trying to figure out what is going on.
@PurplePawprints It's random and apparently you, as well, as most of us aren't that good at guessing the random secret words.
@PurplePawprints dumb luck, I believe.
@PurplePawprints I don't think it was actually a secret word. It just became a running joke after the first 10-pack was given away.
@PurplePawprints its a joke, @jonT is randoming giving 10 to random commets he likes
@cengland0 I need a bath, but not in Neoprene.
@cengland0 Word of advise. NEVER TRY TO FIGURE OUT MEH. It's a lost cause.
Now I kinda want to see a neoprene bikini... or do I?
@iamabearRAWR psssst... I'll send you pics.
@iamabearRAWR Yes, I think you do.
Why am I so tempted? Is it the nonsensical pricing? The hideous designs? I certainly don't need 30 random sleeves, but still...
North Dakota is missing out on all the fun! You should unload all the extras by sending packages to random people there. Come to think of it, I should do that with my extras.
It took forever to finish reading this thread. I gave up but in for 30! Mehhhhhhhhh
What's the Bath mentioned above for?
@etnekoi first comment was bath, he got 10 sleeves for free. and then @jonT went all oprah and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves and you get 10 sleeves
@communist Quit being such a communist.
@etnekoi ... and now you're only about 60% of the way thru reading the comments!
Did we ever determine if they came in Georgia red?
@denton No, just NY ugly.
@denton Probably not purple, either, but that's alright, because I want one in orange.
I love purple.
oh god i bought more...
Rosebud
There must really be a lot of these things, considering all of them that have been given away and bought. I'm scared to ask where they really came from.
Finally! I've been waiting for meh to offer this deal for MONTHS! I have thirty random electronics that desperately need neoprene cases, in for thirty.
This pleases me greatly. The next time I fail to get a fucking fukubukuro, at least I'll rest easy knowing that I didn't get a bag full of these damn things.
@TheCraiggers They didn't sell out yet so there's still a chance of getting these in a FUKU.
@cengland0 That's my point. There's no way that they'll sell out of this pile of wasted resources, which means the next FUKU will probably be boxed using these things for shipping peanuts. Actually, that's a great idea on how to get rid of them, if I do say so myself.
@TheCraiggers How do those words taste?
@brhfl Well, they don't taste like neoprene, and that's the important part.
I cannot imagine any use for this crap.
Just bought 30.
I should have the girls from my Brownie Troop sell this crap to raise money instead of the small box of 20 cookies for $4.00 that we have to beg people to buy right now!
hey @JonT now that girl scouts can sell cookies on the internet, can you swing a 2-for-tuesday on thin mints sometime?
@Purplefroggie Your troop will make a hell of a lot more than the measly $.70 per box they get for being GSA slaves. And you won't have to answer questions about why you don't have the same cookies as the troops using the other bakery.
@PurplePawprints Not only that but they contain less ingredients to be grilled about becuase they insist that thier kids are allergic to everything under the sun, including FUN!
@semolina thats a great idea then they can rename them "Meh Mints"
@Purplefroggie You're not kidding! I got so tired of hearing about how 'we' should sell sugar-free or gluten-free stuff. Our troop had a gluten-free kind last year that we couldn't give away. It was nasty. Then, this year, they do all these commercials about three new kinds of cookies, but don't mention in the ad that one bakery makes two of them and another only makes one. So, some troops have two new kinds, some only have one, and depending on your council, you may have no new cookies. I'll pulled my daughter out this year, actually. I put her in ballet because I figured dealing with dance moms would be less stress after four years of GS.
@PurplePawprints I agree! It is a sad world we live in when more people are willing to buy this crap in hopes that ONE sleeve will work for them but won't buy any damn cookies to help a 7 year old get her badge! it only takes 30 boxes to get it! We didn't get any new cookies this year, I didn't know they existed! Be careful ballet moms can be brutal, and those moms definitely don't let thier kids eat GS cookies....or anything but water for that matter!!
@Purplefroggie @PurplePawprints ... what I say to cute kids selling cookies: "How 'bout we act like you sold me 3 boxes of cookies but I'll just give you $12 so your troop can keep it all." BTW, I'm seeing purple for some reason...
@RedOak I love purple.
@Purplefroggie I never really had a problem getting people to buy, to be honest. My daughter always got at least the 200+ patch and received the 300+ patch one year and the 400+ patch another year. My issue is how much work the girls (mostly the parents though) have to do for so little return. @RedOak You're a good person. We'd always have a couple people that would donate at the booths and you have no idea how much that is appreciated. @Purplefroggie I'm sure it's different at other places, but the studio that my daughter goes to has students of all sizes and is pretty awesome. She's only been in a couple months, but I don't think food issues is where the craziness will be.
@PurplePawprints 1) Imagine what it's like to have to eat gluten free--all of the time. 2) Some of us, including kids, have serious medical reasons. But, yeah, those other people bother us too. 3) Honestly, this is how I'm assured when eating a typical bread or pastry that it's probably safe: it tastes not quite right and it doesn't have the right texture. 4) On the other hand, gluten-free doesn't have to taste like crap, and the slavemasters at the GSA don't get any points for their grand gesture. I think they have the resources to do it right. If they don't do it right, that's on them; and certainly not on the folks who (like me) get hit up by well-meaning, mostly ignorant, friends who say, "I've got gluten-free!" (accompanied by big-shit-eating grin; irony in the next sentence) Like just because it's gluten-free, I should lift my hands, praise Jesus, buy a couple of way-overpriced boxes and eat that cardboard shit.
@PurplePawprints a coworker is selling... I mean a coworker's daughter is selling cookies, but the list doesn't have any of the new flavors. I was intrigued by the Trios (peanut butter/oatmeal/chocolate chip) but no joy.
@PurplePawprints we have 4 kids, 3 of them girls... thankfully thru the scout stage. So I know well the GS cookie selling routine. We always told ourselves they were learning important selling/life skills, but the kids sure did have to work hard to make a buck in that low margin cookie racket.
@nadroj we were sensitive to that fellow parent shake-down at the office thing since we hated it when other parents did it to us. Kinda misses the point of forcing ("encouraging") the kids to learn some skills.
On my orders page it appears to say 130 @ $8 (it's actually 1 30 @ $8) and I was like "130 sleeves...my wife is going to kill me!", then I was like "30 sleeves...my wife is going to kill me!" ;)
I literally just said, 'Nooooooooooo!' as I bought another 30.
I'll probably take these to a local college and dump them there for students to use. If I can find one or two that's not to hideous that I can use, I'll consider it a win.
I can imagine these will litter future Fuku exchange boxes
I just got a 30 pack shipped to the office. Phone cases for everyone!
@thelightguy best coworker ever
$26359 and still going. I would say, Meh has done something right.
...like selling a metric shit ton of these cases.
If we get all million of these to sell out can we get some of their other stuff next time? Wine totes and pot holders would get me to buy at least another 30.
@metaphore Nooooooooooooooooooo!
@theco2 Having an excuse to buy 30 bottles of wine is way better than 30 assorted electronics.
I just woke up. Is this real life? Only a crazy person wouldn't want to pay a mere pittance to fill their house with these things. I bet some of them would even make great slippers and mittens.
@MsTinkles "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sent shivers down my spine, Body's aching all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows), I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, Very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo. (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. (Let me go!) Never, never let you go Never let me go, oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.) Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. (Oh, yeah, oh yeah) Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Anyway the wind blows."
Ok,well if you want to help out and have a few frenimeies, just order the 30 pack and have it sent to there house. Passive aggressive gifting.
@JonT whatever you don't sell you could use for packing material for the next decade.
@cthrift1980 These would have saved many Smart Planet Eco Ceramic Mugs, may they rest in peace.
@viciousterra so true!!!
Neoprene: Sporty looks are in! Not every bikini has to be oozing with femininity or sex appeal. You can be comfortable and fit in this season’s neoprene [...]. Most of these come in great neon colors also!
Best use of neoprene I have found (aside from the bondage toys sold on Amazon UK) yet.
@Pavlov Do I see a camel, in that picture?
@theco2 More than two big toes has she?
@Pavlov So, who is she and where can I find her? ...other than in the picture.
Hmm, just bought 30. Wonder how many bikinis I'll be able make from them, and if they'd sell on Etsy? 30 neoprene bikinis for $8, such a deal! Meh!
I was just about to click buy on the 20 pack and the pricing sent me back to the write up. What is ANYONE going to do with 30 of these ridiculous things? I'll find out soon, I guess. I hope they come in yellow.
I love purple.
Grabbed 30, just because I thought it might be amusing to have more sleeves to put random stuff in. Who knows, I'll probably never use them. I imagine a lot of them will be for Apple devices that I will never have.
@kazriko You made my night with that last comment. Apple haters unite!
Just remember, no matter what you make out of these stupid things...
@theco2 And he can't wait to see the bald man in a boat.
@iggy71 That's what I'm talking about.
I've never bought anything from you all before but my two and three year olds are going to love going through these and putting stuff in them. Cheap entertainment win. Maybe I'll get a few free moments. Thanks y'all.
Fun tip, make sure safe search is on when you google "tongue bath". So many peni.
perfumed-tremendous-soldier... Seriously? How did you guys know what I call my equipment?
You have got to be kidding. No one in their right mind would buy one of these, let alone 30. This reminds me of Wayne's World:
"A gun rack? I do not own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXuCgD4cbHs
@lumpthar hmmm, i'll bring the sleeves to the apple store to see which macbook fits the best
@lumpthar I guess a lot of people weren't in their right mind, because they sold a BUNCH.
The 30s are sold out. I guess that means I missed the chance to stitch up my own wetsuit.
I've bought 30 and shipped them to the office. I'll take what I want and let the scavengers in the adjacent cubes take their pick, then schlep the rest to some donation site.
$8 is worth it to replace my current aging tablet case. Everything else is gravy.
My first Meh post. Darn thing sold out while I was reading the comments. Meh. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to stay dirty. No bath for me or my girls. Congrats on unloading those things. You guys rock.
Ugh. I had a nightmare about trying to give these away, but everyone I knew had also bought a ton and they were also trying to foist sleeves on me.
What is the opposite of buyers remorse? I really should have bought these.
@wew "Buyer's Regret", although that doesn't seem accurate since you didn't actually Buy. Urban Dictionary said the same http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=buyer%27s+regret
@Stallion Thanks. I wasn't expecting something that simple, but "Buyer's Regret" it is!
@wew @Stallion Shouldn't that be, "Non-Buyer's Regret?"
thank god i fell asleep last night! otherwise i would have drunk-bought a BATH tub full of these.....
I think you lost an amazing opportunity to re-brand your fukubukuros as "Sleeves of Crap".
Is it safe to post without getting another 10 thrown at you? Good, because I still have no idea why I bought a 30 pack. I blame my cats for depriving me of sleep.
@LionMan The free 10s appear to have occured in response to fresh posts when @johnt rolled into work. The very early posts/comments didn't get any, nor did later ones.
@givemeyoursoul explain mine!
@unixrab You are the GRINCH of MEH, thats why you got 30.
@unixrab that was a special case, they saved those just for you.
@givemeyoursoul @communist ... I HAVEN'T GOT THEM YET! They will be
@unixrab That didn't quite work out the way you intended, did it?
Why no @ssteve... no it decidedly did not.
Did I pay $8 to throw away meh's garbage?
@lowerone yes ... they're attempting to dump it in my yard for the pittance of shipping costs...There's probably some EPA loophole that allows them to ship stuff "free" to get rid of it. meh indeed
@unixrab I wouldn't put it past @JonT to secretly give you a VMP membership, and "forget" to change your icon.
@lowerone They won, didn't they?
@dashcloud
Wow. Just noticed that these shipped today. Somebody is on the ball.
I have a tracking number, and according to fedex the box weighs 30 pounds. I'm a little frightened.. (although 90 individual tracking numbers would have been far more amusing)
@joedel263 I bet the person who had to pick up the boxes, for FedEx, cringed when he saw all of them.
Two boxes of 30 comin' my way, 10lb each.
@juststephen I feel so much better; when I saw my 30 count box weighed 10 lbs, I was a little nervous. I hung around woot too long, I guess.
@juststephen me too
10 lbs on their way. But I forgot to mention the best order tracking...um...phrase...ever.
huge-moldy-highball
So, I checked these things out on feebay.. Selling presently for a low of $1 for some, and a high of $23 for others. I imagine that by early February, there will be such a glut of these that the average selling price for ANY will be hovering at about a buck... Well, some folks will at least get their investment back, but no profit attached...
@andrewkl If I sell one of them for $1, I made a profit.
@TheCO2 Probably not if that includes free shipping.
@cengland0 I would sell them to my coworkers, so no shipping.
@kuonji Looks real similar to my assortment, only differing with a couple of patterns.
My 33.5 lbs of Mehrrific BuiltNY sleeves are ON THE WAY. I am happy. I am also freaked out. And a big
shout out to the other 90 sleeve purchasers. Also, bacon.
So, of course now that my order ~finally~ made it to NJ, it will delayed by 2 more days due to the snowmageddon that is on the way...
@andrewkl gonna have to use your normal mitts this round of weather, next snow you can break out the polka-dot neoprene mitts!
@andrewkl I was thinking the same thing..kissing a Friday delivery good-bye! Blaming @joelmw for the delay..
@mikibell @andrewkl I love snow. This probably is my fault. It's likely to get worse before it gets better, what with trying to get the snow to descend all the way south to Texas. Sorry about that.
@joelmw I'm cool with the snow....As long as i don't have to drive in it. I'll pack some Kindle sleeves full of the stuff, and send it your way.. More than enough to go 'round if this storm ever gets going. Not a flake in the sky right now (7PM Monday)..
@andrewkl I hope you get some, but that you and yours stay warm and safe. And of course anything you can send our way would be much appreciated. :-)
I got 31 in my 30 pack...so there! :-) Got a really nice assortment too, though only 1 will actually fit something I own (Ipad). However, I plan on using a lot of the Kindle sleeves to put camera lenses in when I pack them in something other than their actual lens cases. Will be a nice little extra layer of protection without taking up nearly the room of the actual lens cases. Also, while some of the patterns I received were quite ugh, a lot of them, I thought, were perfectly nice. And those that are ugh and of no use to me are going to my stepmom who will chuck them off a Mardi Gras float, along with the beads and regular throws, a few weeks from now. Very, very happy with this purchase. It makes up for the broken fan switch on my first Meh purchase.
Hey, @cometwatcher, do you watch asteroids as well? They say Monday's will be visible with binoculars.
@KDemo I mostly watch my dog...Comet...which probably isn't as cool but is truthful. I do own a telescope, though...Thanks for the tip but seems I read it too late...
You guys rock! One of my neoprene items is an electronic accessories zippered organizer which is perfect for storing my Innergie mcube pro inflight. And they both came today. Yay!
The deal is terrific. I can't thank you too much, Meh.
Just didn't expect the amount of odor produced by 30 packs of sealed neoprene spared in my studio... :'o
Even with the well-designed odor adsorbent, I need to hang some of them in my bathroom, and open the window during a snow shower. Not bad for me at all. I really like these little bags... Just to make sure I don't breath in more of the odor... Need to give out the rest asap since I cant keep them for long in a closed environment. Just seal them well in the box at the moment. ;)
Not sure if you guys know how to remove the odor ;D
I got 10 of the stretch kindle covers, thinking if I can use them for notebook cover, if i have the right size book...or a good cover for some large-sized portable hard drive (but mine is smaller...).
Really got plenty of nice gifts for friends...awesome deal...
@usmile99 Just find out to remove the odor (from formaldehyde), I soak them in warm water with salt added. Very effect.
@usmile99 Will try the eHow tomorrow with washing machine. http://www.ehow.com/how_12031091_remove-formaldehyde-clothing.html looking forward to use it after I remove the odor :P
@usmile99 Just to make sure some are hand wash others are machine wash. Very effective to remove odor. Make sure wash them in water before use :D
Wow, I was right. The wife was very much not amused by this purchase. Best not even mention the incoming Fukubukuro...
@joebootoo lol, the boy was also not amused, until i told him i might have a laptop sleeve for him. i have a sleeve for him, but it is poppies, not sure how he will feel about that.
@vampje ![Love them after I remove the odor mostly from formaldehyde?][1] [1]:
@joebootoo my wife grabbed the only 15" laptop sleeve and stuck it on her mbp :(
I looked at this Meh offer, and thought to myself--I'm feeling silly, let's order 3 orders of 30.
Then I promptly forgot about it.
Today this monstrosity--33.5 pounds of what's basically foam--came. Not so funny anymore.
Or maybe it is. Sleeve party!
Wanted a 16" Laptop Sleeve if anyone is looking to trade one? Seems I got everything but the one thing I really "needed". I have a nice 13" Laptop/Macbook zipper sleeve (pink/red pluses design) as well as a bunch of Kindle cases and others if anyone would like those.
I have three of the 16" laptop sleeves with the zipper side, and only need one. I'd be glad to trade one of the other two 16" sleeves for your 13" Macbook sleeve. Full disclosure: All my 16" sleeves are the poppy design, I'm afraid. I like the print, but it's possibly only appealing to us girls. But of you would like a 16" poppy laptop case, I'm up for a trade!
I like purple.
Well played, Meh. I was hoping for laptop sleeves.
Of the 30 sleeves:
1 Real laptop sleeve
1 Macbook Air 11" sleeve
2 GPS sleeves
25 Kindle sleeves.
I threw them off of the 2nd floor and made a video of the results, in mediocre fake slow motion.
@pyip001 Ok maybe I exaggerated. 1 real laptop sleeve, 1 Macbook air sleeve, 2 GPS sleeves, 2 neoprene "e-reader" sleeves, and 23 Kindle sleeves.
Still having fun giving these away. The people I thought would leap at them haven't, but other friends have pillaged the box with cries of glee.
so im guessing a sellout at around 2am
@communist so I'm guessing you'll be guessing again
bath
@Crud What's up with bath? why is everyone saying it?
@axleman1011 it's a very dirty forum.
@axleman1011 From the item description: "We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair."
Then somebody said 'bath' in reference to the item description and was informed it was a secret word and that they'd be receiving a bonus ten-pack. You know, to take a bath with.
So meh I don't even want them for free. Bath or not.
@cblack You're trying too hard
@cl4rk3 You're trying too hard. I meant what I said. Straight into the garbage. Who wants overpriced, neoprene craps like this where you can't even choose the size. I guess nearly 2 sheeple.
@cl4rk3 @cblack You're trying too hard.
@theco2 You're trying to hard.
@cblack @theco2 @cl4rk3 We're ALL trying too hard. Or to hard. Keep up the good work!
Bath 🙈
Send me free shit!
@mbills2223
@JonT lmfao that's it...I'm clicking meh every single day for the rest of its meh existence (as if I wasn't going to do that already).
@JonT i loved that movie!
@JonT HA!
I guess I need a sleeve for my laptop... ... and maybe I can find 29 other thing to put in the other pieces... You guys have been winning all my money lately.
@johnamo I could use one for my laptop but I have a 17" and the max size supported is 16". Bummer.
@cengland0 me too, but neoprene has a little stretch... Just cram it in there.
In for 30 because I'm a rickety-generous-bison who likes baths. :D
@JonT I'll buy 30 more if you throw in the red rolly cart! :)
I really, really hope I get one in the crazy green skull pattern that will fit one of my devices. It's freakin' cute!
@Pony Wish I'd known that when we did our Fuku trade. I could have sent you one... Don't know if it would have worked for you though.
@mediobarkre No worries! I will just keep my fingers crossed that I get a useable one out of this deal. :)
I love purple.
bath?
(ps i may have just ordered 60, why)
@Sunbun also i need 59 friends
@Sunbun I like warm hugs.
@v hello new friend
I ordered 30 for $8 - the confirmation pop up said I ordered 10 for $8 - however the details page said 30 so I'm fine - just thought you'd like to know the order page seemed a bit wonky.
The 30 pack wasn't good enough for me, so I bought 2 of them. That's 60 items!! Now I only hope I don't get two boxes of the same 30 or I might cry.
Ahahaha in for 30 cause of the fantastic write up. And cause it's a buck cheaper than 20. Bargain! My wife will cannibalize the zippers (are there zippers on any of them?) For her other projects
@deadlybunny i had already bought my 30-pack, but now I'm excited about my purchase hoping there will be zippers!
@deadlybunny Does she steal the zippers from your pants?
@deadlybunny There are zippers on a few of them, maybe some of the 10 I'm sending you will have zippers!
@JonT His wife will be able to make quite the Gimp suit!
@BabyBear sometimes i see her eyeballing my crotch... For all the wrong reasons
@JonT I got a zippered one a few years back from Woot!, and it was actually handy on a few occasions. Now add a baby arm, and it's a bargin.
Sweet. I needed something to gift my employees. Hey meh, feel free to throw as many of these as possible at me. Employees love free stuff.
I pulled the trigger on a 20 pack because 30 would be overboard for me. Who knows what I plan on doing with them . I just hope @JonT is happy that I am getting these off his hands
@stryper2000 Create a geocache full of them!
@Alien88 We could line the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository...kind of a time capsule/lesson for non-reading future generations.
@margot Brilliant! I volunteer @JonT to help!
This is terrible. I don't need them. What would I even do with them? Yet I am tempted.
@justjking Regift them! Create a geocache! Sell them on craigslist! Give them away for free on a street corner! The ideas are endless.
@justjking I plan to sew them together and have a do it yourself wetsuit!
What deviousness are you up to? Sending 10 less for a buck more... I'm temted to buy it just to see.
@arj904 you've figured us out! Sending you 10!
Am I a valued member of this community? Should I buy this absurdly cheap thing?
@johnbujalski no and yes
@Perkalicious You're playing with Schrodinger's cat, aren't you?
I see what you're doing here, if I buy 30 of these things, then I have to buy devices from you to fill them all. Uh uh, no way, singing cowboy man.
@Schiavona You sound like @unixrab thinking that the free VMP was a trick to get people to buy more.
@cengland0 @schiavona
can I sew them together for monkey sleeves or a nice quilt?
Melons
I don't know how I went from wanting 20, to 30, and back to 0. But here I am.
@Marvelman and now you get a 10 pack for free! What a wild ride.
Bought 30. Now lets hope at least 1 of these fits my surface pro 3 so it wasn't a wast of $8 :P
In for 30 after I canceled my 20 order. So who wants a case?
Well maybe tomorrow night will be crap to put in these sleeves, like 30 tablets for $80
@Eron That would be cool, even if they were old stuff like Nooks and refurbished cell phones.
@Eron Don't give them any ideas.
@theco2 Perhaps a Zune to sweeten the deal?
oprah? if i say this is a sucky offering too, will i get a free 10-pack?
Look nice, but I don't think I have a use for them, you tempter.
@j8048188 Yes you do! Gift them, give them away at work, sell them on ebay, craigslist, freecycle them. Feed them to your siblings. See how well they burn. Jump on them. Use them to go sledding. Decorate a tree with them.
In order to take a bath in these, wouldn't we have to figure out how to liquefy them?
@jrbw3mi Fire.
If you can sew, it's a cheap way to an awesome multi-colored wetsuit!
@placeholder Or quilt.
Bought 30 so I can try to take a bath in them too!
I was gonna pull the trigger but then I realized I don't even have anything to do with them except pawn them off on relatives. Meh.
@ellismc Coworkers, random strangers, freecycle, craigslist, lots of places you could give them to!
I really just need 1 of the 11" ones... what are the chances I'll get at least one the right size in my 30 pack?
@metaphore Maybe you should buy 2 packs of 30, just to be sure.
@theco2 @metaphore Buy 3 x 30!
@theco2 @narfcake I considered it. But I already got one of those "Why are you buying a bunch of crap we don't need? I would tell you not to buy it but I don't want to get in an argument about something so stupid." looks just buying 1 of the 30 packs.
@metaphore I'm in the same boat; hoping 1 out of 30 will be one I'll want.
@Perkalicious We can start a trading thread after, I'm sure we'll all have a ton of "crap" to get rid of!
@Zelucifer I'm betting @lichme could add something to his new MehStalker page. He has a trading page for Woot shirts, already.
I think I'll take my $5 and buy a pint of Ruble vodka instead.
@johnbagdonas Sounds like a win.
Just a bunch of crap. Crappy things are fun, though.
@theco2 sending 10 pieces of crap your way!
@JonT I don't know whether I love you or hate you. For now I will go with love, but the day I get them, it might be hate. I guess that all depends on whether or not every single one of them comes in handy.
I bet you won't send me enough to make the most garish wetsuit IN THE WORLD EVER
@armchair that would be amazing.
I can't wait for the possible bitch fest in folks claimed that they were too sleepy/busy/whatever to partake on this deal.
Bath? Who wouldn't? I LOVE grab bags!
I SAID BATH!!!
@mbills2223 Maybe shower.
How big would a box of 30 of these be? I use a forwarding service & get charged by shipping dimensions.
@chokcheesecake Pretty small - neoprene compresses very well :) The retail packaging is the only thing keeping meh from just rolling them all into a ball and covering in duct tape and writing your name/address on the outside. Would be great fun for the UPS guys :)
@klickster68 I would gladly accept a duct taped ball of neoprene. And if meh could put the bt headphones I bought a few days ago in said ball to save some space, even better! :) Actually, maybe they could use the cases as packaging for my next 30 purchases
My first meh and I'm oddly excited. I have a lot of miscellaneous crap to stow.
The wife says she'd rather not have 10 of these lying around the house. Should we make her eat her words?
And if so...anyone have a couch I can sleep on?
@trimm Buy 90 and make a bed.
@trimm She's indirectly saying that 10 is too few. :)
@trimm If you buy enough, you can make your own bed.
@narfcake That's what I was thinking
I bought 10. I think. And not sure what I'm going to do with them.
I think there is a baby hand holding a glass of champagne in the last picture... Is a drinking baby included w/ a purchase of 30? God I hope so...
More for less? I can't stop myself. I have to have 30 for $8. That's a blow to my home decluttering project.
In for 30. At my house, we've got a 10", two 11.6", a 14", and two 15" laptops, plus two 7" android tablets and a regular iPad. So some devices be getting new neoprene cases. Now to wait and see which ones get clothed and which ones stay naked...
In for 30. Christmas 2015 is in the box … so to speak. I think I finally beat my wife this year in finishing my shopping early. Lol
I don't know 30 people but I bought 30. Maybe I will fill them with cat and dog treats and leave them around for them to chew on.
I'm not even sure why, but they call to me, in for 30.
It's hard to keep up with ya'll. I'm trying to read because I want to know if there's a secret word or code to get free pieces! I'm in for 30!
Did someone say something about taking a bath in these? They're neoprene so make a wet suit. ;)
I bought 30 of these. Why did I do this?
punctual-poetic-flock
In the beginning of Mediocre, why am I thinking that a laptop sleeve was the first thing that got to the new warehouse? Are these things like tribbles? They multiplied?
@JonT How about you send me 10 for free, so I can get them off your hands much quicker and easier. If not then you can tell me a secret word, and then I'll say it back to you so I can get them off your hands. Yeah???
Went through the password recovery process just to meh this. No I need to go take a bath...wait NOOOOOOOO!!!
Alright, I've got all of 4 earmarked... only 26 more to go!
Come to think of it, I didn't even try to order more than 30...
Wife'd kill me, but... would it have worked?
Don't know about the neoprene bath, but if nothing else a few of these should be great as odd koozies!
Neoprene is the new Georgia Red?
@bakeyoural I love purple.
@Barney Purple is the new neoprene?
30 for me and 30 for a friend? Sure why not. Hoarding for next year's secret santa...
towering-standing-zipper
I am such a sucker for grab bag type deals. It will be fun to find homes for all 90 (but it is completely insane).
I'm going to give these to the panhandlers in SLC, I'm sure they'll come up with better uses than me.
@gclark645 lets get enough to cover the arena :)
I just ordered 60 of these things. I work in a fairly large IT department, so any of them I don't want will be [lovingly] gifted to our techs. Heck, I could probably have done with another 120 of them and given them out to all the site-based support personnel too.
My nine months old will have some new bath toys
Not giving into the system. Buying 20.
@msimard8 Must. Not. Give. In.
@JonT New England clam chowder.
@bakeyoural Yay! 10 pack!
@JonT Um.... the correct response is "red or white?".
@bakeyoural is that the red or the white?
@Crumple2001 Ah, I can never remember that. White?
I love purple.
something something bath. I think this will be a good use of my VMP. Or not. Either way, more stuff!
I ordered these whilst enjoying a bubble bath. In for 30...meh.
Ha!. My last post I wondered if you could curse, and he's swearing in the description! Feels Goodman. I can't buy these though--I still have 6 HP touchpad sleeves I got a good deal on.
By my guess which is a average of 23 per order as many purchased 10 or 30 but not so much 20+ the random few frees tossed out multiplied by the current 1850ish orders is over 42,000 of these so far. I wonder how many of these DO fit into a shipping container. Edit Shame Groupon wasn't trying to sell these.
OH SHIZ! I think Imma upholster my kitchen chairs with these!
White mehlephant gifts for the next 60 years!
@menuett319 I love purple.
In for 90! This is the best day of my life!
@defective I mean...I hope that's not true, but I'm happy for you either way.
@hart oh no, definitely the best. I mean, my wife and children...are going to LOVE these! Right?
I should be bathing and going to bed instead of reading all of these comments
In for 30. Just going to let the kids open the box and try to figure out what's wrong with dad. BATH...
Fun fact about baths: President Taft needed to get a larger one installed in the White House because he was too fat to fit into the old one! Surely, though, one could have constructed a moomoo to fit him using the cloth/cloth-like substance from these cases given how many of them Meh has.
BTW, if you send me a free bundle, I'll use them to fill up my jacuzzi and I'll take a literal bath in them.
@BillLehecka 10 pack! SEND PICS
Well I could use 3. I'll give the other 27 to my fluffy dog to sleep on.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with all of the extras... @jonT are there any in camo or orange? I'll sew a few together for a ragtag hunting dog vest. Ha
@agford460 I love purple.
I really, REALLY don't need these..... hummm, but with free shipping I must buy something before time runs out! Hmmm.. ok Moving in a month, could use these for packing and keeping my dishes safe?....... meh. Almost to the point of useless purchase......
@Shata Nah, you'll spend more on dedicated packing materials. You could put a picture frame in these then stack in between other frames. I used a surplus of mouse pads to pack last time I moved. So handy.
I didn't need these...so I ordered 30. What was i possiblt thinking? WTH am I going to do with 30?
Giving to the library hoping the pic of 30 is correct, a iTouch case. Worth a BATH!!
Dang it, meh has my number. I just got another two 30 packs because I checked the prices elsewhere. I know better, but I couldn't help myself!
This is amazing! In for 60.
Should I get another 30?
@arnistotle2000 yes!
@arnistotle2000 Duh! Err I mean Meh.
@theco2 @VeeDubTDI Done.
I feel dirty from buying this. I don't feel like a shower, so I guess I'll just take a bath.
Been a few years since I had a bath...also in for 90. bath. bath. bath. bath. bath. bath. bath. bath. bath. bath. send me 200.
In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry ice-cream in your back pocket. But, not laptop sleeves.
@Jcisneros92 Also to wash a cow in your bathtub, or maybe that is Bowling Green only.
@Jcisneros92 But is it legal to carry ice cream in a laptop sleeve, in your back pocket?
@theco2 If I get some, ill let you know. Please pick up the phone if you get a call from the police station :/
So I bought 30... But I want 60 more... But I don't want to spend the extra 16 dollars... I don't know what I'd do with these. I certainly wouldn't use them for their intended purpose.
@BillLehecka I feel the same way. I'm hoping they sell out soon, or I may end up buying more.
@BillLehecka i showered while i pondered my extra 60. Bought them anyway
@BillLehecka I just bought 30 more. unbalanced-spectacular-strudel. You know you want to see this sell out. If they don't the next Fukus will be full of them.
Me thinks we will see a WHOLE lot of these in future Fukubukuro's
I can't believe they haven't sold out yet.
Really confused by this sale. REALLY CONFUSED!!! Time for a bath!
@billymayfield Don't be confused, little one. There are plenty to be had.
i hope i get a bunch that only fit Motorola razrs
I don't need these... I don't want these... I don't even have space for these, but I can tell when a friend is in need. In for a 30 pack.
@JonT How many of these things did your mediocre buyers get?
So, if they sold 2,700 of these and everyone just bought ten (most bought 30, more than likely, though) it'd be 27,000 of these sitting in their warehouse.
If everyone bought 30, a more likely scenario, that'd be at least 81,000. Whew. And they're still not out of stock.
@juststephen looks like most people are buying 30-packs. told you we had way too many of these.
@shawn If you lift the limit I'll buy more. But please don't enable my mental illness. (or do.)
@christinerenee Nothing is stopping you from making another account to buy more. Sure you have to pay another $5 for shipping but $29 for 90 is still a pretty good deal.
@metaphore The thought has crossed my mind. It's tempting but I think I have just enough willpower to stop myself.
@juststephen if you do the math the average price seems to be just over $8, which currently means they have sold over 90,000 of these things. I'd love to see what 90,000 of them looked like in a giant pile.
@metaphore Clearly I was wrong about having enough willpower. I opened a second account so I could order another 90. But it's going to be awesome. I'm going to have an unboxing party and everyone is going home protected.
@remo28 I would also like to see 90,000 of these in a big pile.
now my sleeves can have sleeves! and for $8, my sleeves' sleeves can have sleeves! ever notice that saying a word over and over again just makes it look and sound strange?
except for meh. i can say meh all day and it's still meh. meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh meh.
yep, still meh.
@Dwayne Yeah, kinda like that B word everyone keeps repeating.
@hallmike don't worry. The bananas can have sleeves, too.
@theco2 Thanks for the great idea - neoprene banana hammocks.
@hallmike good idea, with the 30 sleeves that I have coming, I can make a bunch of neoprene hammocks. Hoping tonight's meh is a crappy sewing machine.
@hallmike Please don't post pictures of those in use. Thanks!
If I lived in North Dakota, I would purchase this just so it would no longer be the only state where none of these are headed. Thankfully I don't live there, so I have absolutely no reason to give you my money.
@sbergus Oh good, North Dakota is on the map now, it would have been a shame is they somehow escaped this plague.
meh, took a bath on this one...
I already have Built NY totes for both wine bottles and six packs of beer. Now I can use my thirty new totes to also transport liquor bottles so I have a portable full bar!
@Smooth those are the ones I'd like to see included, with 30 gadget sleeves I guess you could rig something up though.
Oh, what the hell. I'll bite. Hard. In for 2x30. My wife is going to kill me when she sees 60 of these things. She's going to give me the "WTF is wrong with you??" look!
I already got "Why did we need two vacuums?" um... gifts? I don't know...
I needed them to clean up after the neoprene bath I didn't know I was going to take?
I bought 30. No idea why. Just like the storm radios. What is this site doing to me?
@moozicmon You made ten accounts so you could buy 30 storm radios!? You ask good questions!
Wonder if these will sell out...
Bah grabbed 70 but only can use 1.
69 left over, ewww.
I'm starting to freak out at the thought of how many they must have.
Only a few more comments to 1000. Keep up the good work, Mehers.
I don't know enough people to justify buying any of these at the shot ONE of them will fit my tablet and not make me look like a 7 year old princess with a fetish for sparkly purple things, and I don't possess the needleworking skills to turn the other [9, 19, deargodpleasedosomethingwiththeseother29] into a dog bed or circus tent.
@astrienne I love purple.
Oh, just about to 1000 comments. OH OH OH
Oh look, we passed 1000.
MEH!!!
@theco2 10 pack for you!
Wait. Is neoprene the red case or the blue case?
@nadroj Yes and yes and maybe even no.
I love purple.
Do I need 30 of these? No. But here they come anyway.
military-external-earwig I am a true VMP sucker. Oh, and 'Bath,' because I really don't need 40 of these.
@ArchStanton Yes, you need them all.
I work at a school. Can I get more than the 30 without needing to do multiple shipments!
@mbombley You can order 3x 30 packs in a single order. If you want more than 90 you'll have to make another account and can place another order of up to 90.
@metaphore Thx... I just realized that 90 was the limit. If they want a tax donation for all the remaining ones, they can email me. :) I will gladly take them off their hands and they can write off the full retail price!!! For now, I will stick with my 90! I will have a bunch of happy teachers and kids next week!
@mbombley Next week? Is this your first time ordering from Meh? It'll be 2-3 weeks.
I'm going to stuff all my hopes and dreams inside the 30 I purchased. Then I'm going to shove them in random mailboxes.
Oh what the hey, I'm in for 30. Probably going to make it rain cases. Not going to take a bath in them. Or maybe I will. At the least, some poor schmuck is going to be in for a surprise come white elephant gift exchange time.
I love purple.
I live in Dallas, can i just pick these up and avoid shipping cost? and I don't know why everyone is saying Bath, but I'm just gonna say it too. Bath.
Edit: After reading these comments, I wish I found this sooner!
@jonT Where have you been all my life?
@Tseng and Beyond
@Nest Are you a DevOp by any chance? If so, I have a lead on a job for you.
If this hasn't sold out, by the time I wake up, I maybe might buy 1 or 30.
Did you know, according to Wikipedia, that in Bath, Somerset, England, a bunch of stuff happened? It's, like, old or something, too. Really. You can look it up.
@peaceetc Lots of stuff?
@theco2 So much stuff.
@peaceetc Did you know, according to Wikipedia, that the Bath Consolidated School was part of the biggest school mass murder of all time, killing 45 people? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Consolidated_School
@cengland0 I did not know that, and now I am sad. But I am impressed you actually read the Wikipedia article. Can't say that I really did.
@peaceetc I read it multiple times. I've used that example in debates with people from the UK who somehow think we need more gun control. That blood bath was done with explosives and not guns so the point I was making is that you don't need guns to kill people. People in China are killing students with cleavers because guns are not available. It's sad but people will find a way to harm innocent people.
@cengland0 @peaceetc I have a friend in Bath, New York. Does that count for anything?
@theco2 Yes, because now I know there is a town called "Bath" in New York. I feel enriched by the experience.
I....I...blank look
I have no idea what just came over me. In for 3x30=90
90 of these. Because you know what? 90 of them in a box will still be under the price limit for a white elephant gift exchange I participate in. Also, hey, I can be that person. For everyone. Ever.
@Trin Please put all 90 of these in a box as a gift. And take pictures. Please, for the children.
I love purple.
@astrienne If we do it, it'll be next December, so you'll have to wait a while. But I'll try to remember to post a picture. ;-)
I just figured out where all of these came from.
I couldn't resist the urge to buy 90 , simply to buy 90. This mystery of the bath only adds to the allure.
Wow! I got 30. small box please, not large one.
I'm glad I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check meh. Now I'm going back to sleep laughing, with 30 neoprene sleeves on the way. Fucking chumps didn't know I had saved up $375 in my sleeves fund to spend this afternoon.
so meh is dabbling in some "fell off the back of the truck" deals and now you're trying to decrease traceability huh...
This inspires an idea for a flash game where you play as Irk and you have to move to avoid neoprene sleeves being thrown at you by the Meh staff. Pay me for this idea in royalties, or really anything but sleeves, thanks.
@bobthenormal How about a drinking game? I'm sure something could be done.
@theco2 Oh I'm pretty convinced the Meh team has a sweet drinking game already that they play it right before they make their purchases
@bobthenormal There is no doubt in my mind, about this one. I was talking about the Mehmbers, though.
So, I've been kicking myself for being busy and having a life and missing some good deals. And then I check tonight... and ta-da... a truly crapalicious deal. Do I need these? No. I have electronic thingies, but never use a sleeve. Sleeves are for shirts. But I missed so many good Mehs, and well... in for 30.
Since I miss out on all the other nights of meh products to the Californians... guess I'm in for 30! Can't let California be the only state to have bath toys!
@yeni Yes! i am excited that the long dry spell of insta-sellouts was broken. I have celebrated by giving Meh $8 hard earned dollars
I love Repac bags and eBags cubes for packing and organization. I figure some of these will be nearly free substitutes. They don't HAVE to be used for electronics.
I shall go start a Ponterest board of how to make amazing stuff from these, just like the current trend here of making stuff out of used pallets.
So i actually do need one of these for my netbook, so i bought 30 to increase the odds of getting the one i need. But now that i'm thinking about it, even if i "win", what the hell am i going to do with the other 29? I don't have that many friends.
@Karzan You need to send all the extra crappy ones to @unixrab
@cengland0 [see consolidated response above]
Just got home decided to check out meh built sleeves meh! don't need any but ... in for 30 serious impulse buy, will be fun to see if I can give them away .
I'm kind of confused as to how 30 is sold out but 20 and 10 are not. Couldn't you just combine a 20 and a 10 and save yourselves the torture of being buried by neoprene any longer than you already have?
@shellzy The 30 pack has mostly small sleeves so they fit in the box and keeps the weight down while the 10 pack has a greater % of large sleeves. The twenty pack costs more than the 30 pack because instead of using air packets to keep the box contents secure, they use 20 extra sleeves as filler.
@iggy71 Shh, stop sounding rational about this.
@iggy71 @JonT no! Say it ain't so! I want larger sleeves and bags, along with the cases and more, if the photos are to be believed. Ordered, tried to post several times to no avail, slept a couple hours, then couldn't resist checking in before heading off to work.
What a non-meh thread!!
And since I recently moved to the " 'hood ", I have to add, in the parlance of the lil' groms around here:
Baff. Which is what "bath" now sounds like coming out of my mouf. And because VMP status isn't enough. I want 10 more!!
I have an empty room in my house I would love to fill up with these and take a bath in. Are there any more secret words? Pineapple? Stapler? Umbrella? I love lamp? Brick are you just saying names of things you see around the room.
In all honestly if I hit a secret word send as many as you please! I have plans for these bad boys..
They must be running low…20 for $9 would have been a deal but I know that others got 30 of $8, sigh might do it anyway...
30 packs are sold out? Bummer now I have to spend more for less :( I guess I'll have to settle for only 20 of these
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
Who needs wrapping paper now? If they have zippers, won't even need tape!
I didn't even know I needed these, but there they are I must have them. I don't even know what I am getting yet I ordered them. I want to complain about these NOT being sold out by the time I woke up!!!!
@JonT Hey, I just had an amazing idea for how to get rid of these things: Use them as padding for shipping stuff people actually want! Sure, they're heavier and probably more expensive than peanuts, but you'll get enough space in your warehouse to play Settlers of Catan again.
@TheCraiggers Had they only thought of that when shipping the ceramic mugs...
TLDR, thread. But Bath seems to be a popular word...
@ongware
LOL still not sold out.
@VeeDubTDI I would've figured the same! How many are there?!
If I comment maybe I will get a few more of these????? I am still not sure what I am going to do with 60 of them - Yes I am a hoarder and bought 2 - lots of 30!
I guess I will just stitch them all together and create a wet suit or a bath mat.... or should I say Flea Bath....
@sakempf I think a true hoarder would have bought 3 lots of 30.
Sounds like these sold out around 8:30 AM CST.
They must have had millions of cases to unload. I would really like to know the story behind such a fiasco. If they can unload that many and rake in $50523, they had to have made a profit, but it couldn't be much, considering all of them that were given away and as cheap as they were.
@theco2 thankfully these people live in the wonderful state of texas where it seems you can live of anything even 8 bucks a month and be happy about it too. Maybe I am living in the wrong place..........
@theco2 Selling them on Meh was better than burying them in a landfill. Atari could have used Meh about 35 years ago...
@madmaxmedia At least they will all be buried in different landfills, now. That's spreading the love.
MANCAVE. Stuff them with the leftovers of lost sock pairs, old tee shirts or newspapers and use them as dude throw pillows for your man cave. Or use them for throw pillows on your neoprene couch (Is that how you spell couch?) in your newly opened dive shop themed coffee lounge with free wi-fi.
...also you could use them as throw pillows on your boat...
@miko1 That's assuming that many of them are laptop large.
yay sold out so i can't buy anymore.
I got my order in, for 30 in a ferocious-loud-pail, but I'll reserve judgement until I see them.
this is why we need pagination and sorting...
In for 30.
@neuromancer @cengland0 @BabyBear @gommiebears @brennenrampton I'm taking one for the team. I'm taking 30 for the team. You're welcome.
frivolous-artsy-bandicoot
@joelmw Sometimes I see myself as each one of these guys. How scary is that?
@joelmw Is buying after they're sold out a goat perk?
@nadroj I do this all of the time. And by "this" I mean stay up past my bedtime for meh, buy, move on to other things (mostly eventually sleep), then come back way later to discuss the purchase. Well, I've done it once or twice before now at least. No. As far as I know, there are no perks, other than the icon and the shitload of emails.
@joelmw The worst part is, had you hung around right when you bought, you might have "bathed" yourself into a free 10 pack!
@givemeyoursoul Yeah, that's the worst part.
So how may will appear in the next mehican exchange?
@StrangerDanger None. It'll be a law, similar to the prescription glasses from the first fuku.
Go Delaware. Hey... That's East Coast. That can't happen...
@Headly Shipping forwarder.
@PurplePawprints Well, yeah.
@Headly Hey, I'm on your side! I'm on the 'East Coast' and stay up for deals and shit. I'd stomp off in a huff if Meh changed the times to pacify the bitchers. I was just saying it before someone else did.
@PurplePawprints Oh, I totally get that. I was referring to my original post. to the complainers I say
@Headly Gotcha.
@Headly So that means me and at least one other person in Northern Delaware stayed up until midnight to catch the deal. :)
didn't buy these - just got done moving my M-IN-Laws house full of stuff, but now I really do need a bath. Moving stuff turned me off buying to much stuff I don't need. Back to the "wants vs needs" question.....
Long thread is long. Is it like this every day in the Threadplace? I have been sticking to the front page so far in this Meh journey.
@pauLuap only when @JonT offers free "stuff" (crap)
7lbs of 20 Neoprene scraps coming my way. Unknown Eta
Woohoo! My thirty pack at least has a shipping label created.... Now to continue sitting impatiently wondering what I got myself into with this one.
I've had a tracking number for a couple of days, although it appears to be a dud.
@lichme I had had a tracking number, for my Meh shirts, for almost a week, before they started moving. I'm thinking the number is sent to FedEx and us when it's packaged, then they wait until they have so many, before FedEx takes them.
@lichme Give it time. These are taking time to ship.
Oh please oh please run these again... I really do need them - was shopping for them at post-xmas sales. Dangit.
@Rochelleluck I'm betting you could talk someone into sending you 1 or 20, for real cheap.
@Relleluck Unless you have a Kindle Fire, don't bother.
This is almost as much fun as Fuku anticipation.
And, is the longest thread ever? Should someone start an unveiling thread to display all their cases so we can compare? Maybe set up exchanges? (Oh god who would do that?)
@Teripie I just started a new thread called Revelations, so we don't crash our computers by trying to load this thread.
Got mine today. "We'll try not to send you two of the same identical bag." HAHA!!! I guess that only applied to the orders of 10 as I got 3 of the same on 10 styles. I suddenly don't think I need 30 of these.
@lakersfankb81 what did you get? I ordered 60 and am getting a bit worried.
@ccyoun 4 of the 10 are strictly for Kindle Fire HD 7", 1 is for Kindle Fire, 2 are for Kindle and Kindle Touch, 1 GPS case, 1 11" MacBook Air, and 1 13" MacBook or MacBook Pro
If I had a Kindle Fire or a Macbook Pro, I'd crap myself in excitement over how many sleeves I have for them. But since I don't, I just hope I can make enough reselling these, except the one I'll keep for my camera, since it didn't come with any protection.
@LionMan I did that once. I had a baby girl....
@LionMan I hope I get some Macbook Pro cases in my box...
Count them people. I was shorted by 5. (Like I need 5 more covers for things I don't have!)
Shorter, easier to load thread on these is https://meh.com/forum/topics/revelations-built-ny-bundle
I am both relieved and bummed that I didn't purchase these. All of my devices have cases, I'm not in need of neoprene, but I feel like I missed the fun of seeing what showed up.
@Thumperchick That was 98% of my decision to purchase.
@Thumperchick Oculus Rift + Neoprene Unboxing Video = Heaven on earth
I have 2 15" laptop sleeves but only need 1, I also have 2 11" MBA sleeves I don't need. Anyone have a 13" sleeve they would like to trade?
Like everyone else, I also have a ton of Kindle Fire 7" (HD and non-HD). I would trade for a Kindle Fire 8.9" case.
I guess I can always make a neoprene patchwork quilt, or a sweater. Also pretty sure I will get my original $8 back at my wife's next garage sale.
@madmaxmedia I have a need for a 15", and have a 13" to get rid of, but I think the shipping cost might be prohibitive for this swap. :(
@YahSah15 Its cost prohibitive perhaps compared to our original cost for a box of neoprene. But we should both be able to ship via USPS First Class? (up to 13 ounces). If so, it'll just be a couple of bucks.
@madmaxmedia I would pay shipping for a 13" macbook air case! Please?
@christine403 I don't have a 13" sleeve, I NEED a 13". ;-)
Curses! I got a couple laptop sleeves (awesome!) but about 85% of the sleeves are flowery/pink or purple dotty (the laptop ones being all flowers). Didn't account for this potentially having super ugly sleeves as the majority :P Ah well, I will bring them to work and throw them at people
@SkyyPunk Well this is why Meh had them in the first place no?
@adamselby they had them for me to throw at people in the office? Soothsayers!
@SkyyPunk Yes. And yes, to any other reasons people come up with.
I love purple.
I love the mental picture of a badass named @SkyyPunk walking around all covered with tats and piercings carrying a pink and purple flowery laptop cover.
I like purple.
@SSteve
like Dave Navarro
a Hello Kitty addict
it's fun to muse on
I bought 20, but just 10 came...
I'm gonna guess this is why you got those 10...
@zerologic I would contact Meh if your missing 10 packs doesn't show up in a week or so. Missing 1 or 2 cases is different than missing 10 cases. It could be somebody made mistake and thought you ordered 10 packs instead of actual 20 packs. Did you get a tracking number for the package you received?
Well, I tried, but missed out on this meh. The nekked Kindles, tablet, and cameras in my home make me oh so very sad. They cry out each day for some neoprene. I weep for them in the BATH.
If anyone would like to strike a deal to get rid of a few (or 30), I'm game. I don't need or want coveted laptop cases, but desire the sizes it seems many folks are cursing their plethora of.
If only they'd used a few of these neoprene cases to pad the shipment of my 1st meh purchase - the ceramic coffee mugs - which arrived 2 of 3 shattered...
Oh, meh....
@Relleluck https://meh.com/forum/topics/revelations-built-ny-bundle#54c7b598fd3f151c06e77eee Let me know if something strikes your fancy (:
I just got my box of 30, and have a complaint -- if I counted right (and that's a huge IF), I actually received 31. What the hell am I supposed to do with the extra one, when I don't know what to do with the other 30?
Actually, some of them actually fit things I have -- Kindle reader, tablet, laptop, etc. I got a nice variety of shapes and sizes, and some of the prints aren't atrocious. I'm glad I went ahead and spent the eight bucks.
Very Good!!!!
TY FOR MY FREE 10 I GOT 2 FOR MY TABLET THAT I COULD NEVER FIND ANYWHERE YYAYY
92!! I am overwhelmed -- mostly from the scent of these! Mail lady left 33 lb box in front of door -- couldn't swing it open to bring in the box!!
I got a 13" Macbook Pro sleeve, (2) 11" Macbook prosleeves, a few generics that an Ipad fit into nicely, (1) GPS sleeve, (I still own a GPS) and a lot of Kindle stuff. I took them to work and gave them away. People snapped them up.
Bath?
@akoroka Bath!!!! Bed bath, blanket bath, blood bath, bubble bath, dust bath, hip bath, plunge bath, salt bath, sitz bath, slipper bath, sponge bath, steam bath, sun bath, steaming bath, turkish bath, water-bath, whirlpool bath. Bath. Bath. Bath. Bath.
Felt so right!
I don't really need a pile of these in my house. I appreciate the offer but I think I have to say... Meh... Thanks... Meh....
@SKostohryz Is 10 enough to make a pile? I hope not because you're getting a 10 pack!
@JonT can I buy 1000 for $20 lol i want to help you guys out ;)
@Anonymous I'll buy 1100 for $19 just because I'm a nice guy!!
YOU COULDNT EVEN ME 20 DOLLARS FOR THESE PLEASE DONT SEND ME ANY FOR FREE EITHER I WILL BE MOST UNTHANKFUL
Can I buy another 90 just to mail to this person?
@sp3ar …
@sp3ar YOU GET A 10 PACK!!!!
@JonT @Joedel263 should get a free 90 pack....in his name sent to @spar3ar :) Like charity or something.
Well I just got a Venue 7840 and ordered the only case available for it on amazon to find it wont arrive for a month and I probably won't like it anyways. I really like the feel of it and don't want to use a case anyways, want a sleeve. But the Targus sleeve available has no pics so idk if it will suit my needs and be worth 30+
Then I see this. I figure if i order 30 maybe one of them will be of use for one of my various devices and perhaps one will even suit the Venue. I can even bring a box them to family gatherings to offer the extras out. It will be like a Meh santa of cases.
Now watch me cave and order that Targus before this package even arrives.
@bph how do you like your 7840? have you found any apps that dont work with it yet?
@bph Increasing your chances by sending you 10 more!
@communist I have had no issues with that, and infact found that more apps off amazons store support it than my nexus 4 or 7 2013, but its still 4.4, which sucks since it has 9gb of usable memory and I cant install apps to my 32gb sd card until its upgraded to 5.0. Screen is great and it runs nicely though (takes a second to wake though). Also @JonT Cool, more party to go around!
IDK WTF I'm gonna do with 30 of these.
@shabazz18 how about 40? BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING 10 MORE, GET IT?
@JonT Now we're talkin.
Can I return these if I change my mind?
@armchair no. thats not how it works
@armchair only 1 at a time, and you pay return shipping.
In for 30. Figure I'll give them away at work to earn good will if I can't use any of them. Or gift them to people I don't really care for but feel obligated to give a gift to for some reason.
Bath time!
In for 10.
Nope. Not doing it. Maybe if they were free. Nope.
@msimard8 YEP! Doing it. They are free. Yep. 10 of them.
I will bath in le Neopreneness!
Also, can I have that cup too? :3
This is crazy. I might buy 2 and just give them away!
Hey, at least people on the east coast won't complain about it being sold out.
@Brakenridge you jinxed it
In for a juicy-lame-party of 30! Everyone at my birthday party is going home with a party favor, just like when we were kids! 🎉
Since you'll do anything, I'm willing to take 30 for free, no strings attached either!
This is one of the odder products you guys have offered. Something about the "assorted, you have no idea what they'll fit" fails to appeal to me.
@pwinn Maybe you'll understand after I send you a 10 pack!
adhesive-patriotic-respect
these are so meh. you could send me 100 and I still wouldn't care for these
@aj Good to know, I'll make sure to only send you 10!
BIKINI!!!!!
@bradyson if you bought these you could make your own Bikini with all that Neoprene
@stryper2000 That would be hot! No, like temperature hot.
@theco2 HAWT
Why did I just: resplendent-navigable-centaur
I know tomorrow's secret word 'salts'
butt muscles
You guys have lost your minds. @hart , @snapster , the lot of you.
(In for the 30, which is somehow cheaper than 20? In the words of my people, "I don't friggin' know.")
@Crixus I think my only contribution to this sale was saying, "Wait, we have to ship what!?" Side note: Please buy all of these. Hell, if I could send you a pallet, I would.
I just started using the Kindle Fire sleeve I got in my Kickstarter fuku. Granted I got a Kindle Basic but it still fits well.
Well, my old Nexus 7 doesn't have a case, so hopefully there's one that fits in my pack of 30? ....We'll see....
@placeholder increasing your chances and sending you 10 more!
not worth staying up till midnight for and bath
@zgranowitz is it worth it if you get a free 10 pack? No? Well too bad you're getting one anyway!
I'd sell these at a flea market but I'd surely take a bath on them.
This is so cheap but I don't even know what to do with them. I have several tablets and phones but I normally don't put them in cases. Hmm...
I don't want any, unless I can build a house with them, but I don't think 90 is enough. Honestly though maybe a dog house....
What have I just done?
knockout-blotchy-unicorn
Do I get the coffee cup?
Bath.
we're all in this together, and we love to take a bath!
In for 30 because of the sheer absurdity of it.
I'd post a picture of myself literally taking a bath in them if you sent me 300 and made my wife really angry.
I'll fill the tub full, and take a bath in them!
Useless. Completely useless.
@wushubeast I bet you'll come up with a use for the 10 I'm sending you!
@JonT You need a new plan. They've caught on and now people are just proclaiming them useless so you'll send them free ones!
hopefully i get one that fits my kindle, don't have anything else for a sleeve
@dougbaker45 I have a kindle fire case from a fuku that has nothing to hold. Pay the postage cost & it's yours.
@Perkalicious how much for the cheapest of cheap postage(take the case out of the wrap would make it cheaper i guess.
@Perkalicious thanks for the offer but I have a paperwhite
@communist I'll weigh it tomorrow and check USPS. I'm sure it'd go in first class mail...
@Perkalicious thanks
Sigh. No idea why, but I bought the 30. I feel like Zoidberg when he buys five copies of a CD because it was on two discs. I don't even have a tablet!. At least my gift shopping is done for a while.
necrotic-wandering-arsenic kinda screams walking dead meh to me. In for 30 because they're there.
wow
No idea why I was just convinced to buy 30 of these. Maybe I can combine them into trashy hipster clothes and sell it?
I got 30, but could always use 40! Bribe people at work to like me
What would I even do with all of these? Decorate my apartment?
@jont I ordered 30, but if you throw more in, my wife will give them away at the library she works at. Someone there will use them (within reason- as in please don't ship us a thousand or so).
@wishlist @JonT please ship this guy 1000 that would be freakin hilarious.
Woo hoo! Meh just made my year -- and it just started... Can't wait to fall into my cloud of 30 sleeves. Meh.
@ptn001 make it 40 champ!
Dibs on the 30 pack with a free iPod.
I go to film school and so I bought a pack of 30 to hand out to my classmates. I'd buy more but I don't like them enough to spend more than $8 + $5 shipping.
@ArthurKOT Well, if you just signed up for VMP with that purchase you could've gone back and bought 60 more for just $16 and free shipping!
@Cinoclav While this is true, It would also require an additional $16 worth of liking them, and currently the amount of like cuts off at around $13.
@ArthurKOT Well, you could've bought 40 more for $13!
gaping-frosty-attraction, and I ordered while shoveling my driveway!
I'm half tempted to buy 30 and save them. We do a $10 grab bag for Christmas every year. Hmm...
Bath? YES! What we don't need, the school and/or library would LOVE to have donated - in for 3 x 30!
Why Meh? WHY??
This is a great deal. Could use these for sorting cables and junk in my bag. The small ones anyway. Not sure what to do with the bigins
@daveJay Sorting cables huh? That's a good idea. Would even be better if they were clear so you can tell what cable is in them.
@cengland0 you just keep each cable in a different crazy-patterned bag and remember which pattern goes with what.
Had to go in for 30... Starting early this year on Christmas shopping. Dear family, hope you are ready for a box full of meh.
i don't get the bath thing, but i noticed it let me put 2 orders in, is this a new feature?
@username You could always put in more than one order on most items. If there is a limit of 3 per item, you can put in 3 separate orders of 1 each or a single order of all 3.
Fugly - pass...err meh
I can't believe I accidentally ordered the $9 20 pack…..
@ksuwildkat can't you cancel your order?
Goodwill bath?
30 pack looks like a trap, I might go in for 10, but maybe not this looks meh.
Maybe i'll continue the VIP sub... or maybe i'll just say Meh to it...
meh's message parser is awesome - I put a less-than "insert event here" greater-than right before "and next Christmas" and it thought it was an HTML/XML tag - isn't that quaint :)
Just got 90. I have no idea why. Also: bath nija BSG etc. secret.
Toilet > Bath
What to do what to do......
@chrisyinging in for 30...meh
Free stuff! Or a drawing...
Hoping for a kindle one. Otherwise, looks like I've now got just the thing to leave around at work so I can pretend that I remembered someone's birthday!
I like that cup that you used for scale. Is that the 30 pack? Or whatever I just ordered - the most you can get.
Hmph I didn't have to beat myself up for checking 15minutes late after all.
Bath?
Bought 30. Kept thinking. Bought 10 more. Tried to get more 40. Card declined. Asking roommates for CC numbers. Being threaten with spoons. With a 100 I'll make a parade! Satan will be happy.
I'm in for 30 just so I can take a bath in them!
Ha, hard pass for sure.
@ckrebel That's the spirit! You get a 10 pack!
i've lost my ability to can here
I bought 90, but could bath me another 10... so I have even 100. Then I could drop 10x10 packs of sorted duplicates anonymously to my co-workers.
@opiemeh you mean I could have had 90? Or 120??? Say what?!? Hey...
wonder what a home-made scuba suit made from this would look like ...
GRAPHICS! GET ME GRAPHICS!
Somebody whip up a graphic!
I'm onto you meh. You happen to have boxes of 40 prepackaged, don't you? Some intern screwed up and now you're covering, aren't you? SPILL IT BUB! THAT'S THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THE 30 FOR $8 + 10 FREEBIES YOU'VE BEEN LAYING OUT ALL OVER THIS THREAD!!!
@pholvey we really wanna get rid of them! Have a 10 pack!
This one is tempting but I just can't because I just got rid of a bunch of junk in my house, the last thing I need is more. LOL
@miscreant it's the last thing you need? Better send you 10!
What could you possibly do with 30 of these, or even 10??
@jasonmeltzer Please don't ask that. Please.
The hoarder in me is tempted but no thanks.
Just....could.....not....resist....
Got my 30 and ready to take a Bath!
@JonT man.. we are CoC clan mates, why you do this to me? In for 90... sent 30 to my mom, 30 to my dad, and 30 for me... what have I done? I know I'm going to get some strange calls from my parents on this one. Lol
In for 90....just kidding 30 will do.
I'm sure I won't get even one usable case/cover thing.
I'm gonna take a bath in a pile of neoprene cases
Bath with 30x2
Bath
In for 30. Gonna burn these bitches for extra BTUs this winter.
These are so fugly you really should pay us to take them! There's always the dumpster.
Seriously, who's idea was it to say yes to all the mass quantities of POS from Built? Definite meh.
I recently found a cache of useless Built NY cases in my attic. I wish someone would pay me $8 for them.
I hope at least one of my 30 can keep my kindle from getting sandy at the volleyball court.
how about weight the built bundle 30?
What the hell am I going to do with 30 of these things?
@TBoneZeOriginal Stuff them in the other 30 you're buying!
Fuck no....although flea market booth sounds tempting.
@ryancunderwood 10 PACK TO GET YOU STARTED
These things are really BUILT. Lol...get it? They're really built?...uh, no, guess not...Oh well, in for 30...
Imma gonna build one of them giant wavy arm inflatable guys. I hope I have enough
@mehmeyousweet whacky-waving-inflatable-arm flailing-tube man?
Family guy Wacky waving inflatable arm flaling tu…: PXs">http://youtu.be/6GznhT_PXs
Watched a Dragnet episode last night where manufacture of mink coats was covered (to aid in an undercover sting). Uniformity was important. I wonder if you get enough tablet sizes if you could make a colorful, yet tasteless neoprene coat. Maybe a diving suit. How thick is the material?
I bought 30. $8 and free shipping with VMP. Happy to help Meh get rid of the load. Send more if you want. I promise not to complain. I'll muddle through somehow.
It's cold. Can I use them as mittens? (Don't have 10 things to put in then, unless I start counting hands, feet, ears, and other body parts...)
wait if we say Bath , then we get another 10?!?!
In for 30.
@semolina AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh the joys of buying thing I don't need and probably can't use, but for $8 why not?
cute-regal-magpie -- does that say it all, or what??
"Bath"?
In for 30 - I've got so many random things around the house that would love neoprene bags, maybe this'll cover 'em all. Or not, I guess. My wife will certainly be surprised when they show up... And what's with "bath"?
Finally something to protect my bath yscaphe.
Uhm bath?
what are my chances I get one that actually says New York on it? If so, I'm in baby.
I dont know what to do!
@alpine ORDER FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER!!!
Stayed up for this crap because I missed the knife yesterday! Mehk me!
Keep it up youz. They sold 1840 so far. But if @JonT gives away enough 10 packs, maybe they can get rid of the million or so they have.
Bath
Hey @JonT I bought 90, do I get a free 10-pack?
Just for the fun of the secret word. I'll help you guys take a bath on these, Meh.
I just don't know why the heck I bought these... I suppose I'll find some use for them... maybe I could weave them into a neoprene blanket
How many are needed to make a patchwork wetsuit?
@Ignorant Depends on what sizes you get and what size you are.
I bought 30 to put on my shelf in the basement with the crap I get from some amazon coupon site for free to give as presents to people I don't like, or don't like enough to give something that costs actual money. These will blend in perfectly.
@Myk what site?
I got one of these in a boc from that other site and it's still sitting in a box under my bed. Gonna have to meh this one :/
Bath? I want free stuff, Free is my Favorite 4 letter word..lol Love reading all the crazy Crap..
I love purple
@spencer060 Foul! Impostor!
@mehjohnson I love purple.
Hmm, I want this... But don't have a use for it. Someone give me a reason to buy it I can give to the girlfriend xD
@llamasrforever Because you're yearning for the single life?
Ok, @snapster, don't ever say I didn't do anything for you. curious-evil-plane
@SSteve Nine Dragon Screen!
This'll be just my second meh.com purchase and I already have 4 sets of earbuds in case I drop one in the bath. I definitely do not have the 30 gadgets required to use up all the sleeves I just purchased but it just seemed absolutely necessary.
Bought 30. Wonder if they're edible.
@tannerscooter Yes. If you want to die.
Bought a thirty pack, thanks @JonT, I can't wait to burn these to sustain an perpetual indoor bonfire in my house.
My god, these are unbelievably hideous. Does anybody know if neoprene can be dyed to something less obnoxious (like solid black)?
Oh dear. I really had no need of more junk cluttering the place... but no self control, so in for 30! (Hey, I /saved/ a dollar, right?)
In for 90? Yup! Guess I drank too much envious-mediocre-beer. At least they can't show up broken like those mugs I'm still sad about.
I can't wait for the ensuing swap thread as people rush to trade to get sizes and styles they want.
And in case this gets me to an even hundred - bath!
I clicked meh, but now I kinda want to unclick. Why no un-Meh option?
@mikemiller because what's done is done, 10 pack!!
@mikemiller You know you can still order after you click meh, right?
@mikemiller What is Meh'd may never Meh. Iron Islands bro-code.
@JonT Thank you!
Would like to order 10 of these but I'm not sure if they would make good replacements for the tennis balls on the bottom of my grandmothers walker.
@Bz22 They would, especially if you use the rubbery side down. And if you really, really hate your grandma.
I just ordered 30! I think I could take them apart to build a BATH!
Just send 10pack to me. I will share with my friends.
Eh. Wrath.
Dam, I want one for me, but I Dont want crap, lol
wtf is this, lmfao. Just a bunch of electronics sleeves?
@Eris That's exactly what it is! 10 pack!
@JonT great, lol. Thanks I think :)
In for 30 on this exceedingly wierd deal. The goodwill store arond the corner will make a killng off of these. Thanks, Meh, you're an all right fella.
Did i just buy 30 of these? Maybe I can carry my daughter in one..who knows
@pedroescobar mehybe* ... There, ftfy ;)
Bath
Using this for a reason to get rid of my gift cards, only in for 10 though, sorry, Meh. Don't forget to take a bath in all the cases you have leftover.
@JonT you know.. I'd take some off of your hands to give to unwilling relatives ;)
I don't even know if I could even use 1 of these let alone 30. Still bought it though.
who needs this mehny bundles of bath crap?
I like to take a bath with these
I can even imagine what I'd do with these... Maybe gifts for people I don't care about? Bath toys for neglected children?
@JonT bath!!
Not sure what to do with all these.... But my students sure will benefit lol
In for 90...hope I fill a BATH tub with them. Going on a mission trip to a very rough part of Belize City. No glamor, no resorts, just hard work to help wonderful people in difficult situations. These sleeves should sell well as low priced items at our church fundraiser. THANKS, meh! By the way, I'm a teacher, and your pricing math is a bit illogical. ..but I LOVE it!
Sure why not, in for 30!
BATH. Just got 30
Bath time baby!
Do I need to take a bath to get more of these?
I bought 30 pack......Because you din't send them to me....
This is a bad thing to see when sleep-deprived. In for 30 for no good reason.
@musmis Sleep is highly overrated. I learned that after waiting up for BOC's at Woot.
BATH what is up with the bath, I am in for 30 pack!! but why ? why not ?
If I don't get a Kindle cover with my 30 I will scream. 1 Kindle cover- Everything else is going to Goodwill.
Someone is going to start an etsy store because of this...
@BillLehecka Think I'll do so right after I Bedazzle all of mine.
What alternative uses could you find for these in the Dakotas?
@mehmeyousweet penis cozy. I don't even care where you live, actually. PENIS COZY.
@mehmeyousweet you could build a tent to keep the snow off of your car
@mehmeyousweet hats and gloves or insulation, since it's been so damn cold
not sure what i did but took a bath and bought myself 30 of them!
How long will processing and shipping take? I live in Dallas and I am just wondering how long will it take to get here.
You folks just gave me an idea. I migh re purpose some and try to make a lunch bag because one can't have too many lunch bags.
@gommiebears I disagree, I have too many lunch bags.
@gommiebears Built NY makes lunch bags so maybe you'll get one, although the description didn't say anything about lunch bags.
My wife will kill me for buying 30. But it was cheaper than 20... Oh man.
@manwoot Shipping error. "I swear I only ordered 3!"
My first purchase here...I'm so glad I stayed up!
@CTLawn Your life has little meaning, doesn't it?
@Cinoclav and I'm enjoying every minute of it!
Bath?
Bought another thirty. Can wait for these.
Man, you guys have so many of these damn things you could give a whale a bath lol....
Bought the 30 because it was the better deal. Hopefully I get at least one to fit my Kindle.
If they really (bath) wanted these gone, at 40 they'd knock another buck off AND throw on that snazzy smart car charger that I somehow missed.
Or possibly send it out to all those of us who ordered 60 so we could make a patchwork neoprene bikini. Which actually crossed my mind before I read the blurb.
No idea what I'm going to do with 10 of these things, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Bath
Why did I do this to myself!
Help me I might buy another 30. help
@elpepe I was having similar thoughts, and then I said to myself... "I have 30 coming already... THIRTY!"
Bath time!
I'm in for 30 so I can sew them all together and take a nice BATH in it!
Why they were talking about Bath earlier ?
@jforkaz From the description on the home page, "We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair."
In for 30! Now I need to find 29 new friends to pawn this crap off to
Maybe I could make a cat bed out of these, or even a people bed!
I'm feeding poor kids in China! Maybe.
In for 30, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. Meh.
Wonder how many beer koosies I can make out of my 30 whatever i boughts?
Immense-toasty-horn? Does that say something about me or something that I'll be receiving? I was in for 30, hoping I'll get some big ones for my 17 inch laptop and my mini iPad. But I guess I'll just pray I get something I can use or I'll sew them into a wetsuit!!! Or a bathing suit if I get them all tiny ones! Haha!!!
Bath
Why do you take all my money? No idea what I'm going to do with 30 of these. But why not?
Why does everyone say bath?
@daniellu from the description on the home page, "We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair."
I take the bath. In for thirty.
After these arrive can i send the ones I don't want to the goat? Who's the goat now?
@neuromancer the current goat is @Joelmw
@neuromancer Oh man. Poor @joelmw could be getting an awful lot of these
@MsELizardBeth @neuromancer
I bought 30. Why did you do this to me?
I'm still pondering why the heck I bought 60 of these. I guess I'm doing y'all a favor, Meh.
lucky-vague-oregano
This is why I feel like a horder sometimes...
No thanks= meh...... Jk, im in! Every month can have a white elephant now!
Curious if the 10 pack is a better chance of getting a larger item... Ordered the 30 pack though, quantity wins in this case!
@inanepenguin I see the pun there! Case!
Wait, 20 for $9 and 30 for $8? Then 10 should only cost me $-1. Is there a $6 penalty for clicking the wrong button?
@thrashsoundly Congratulations! You figured it out.
Something something bath something something.
It's rainin' neoprene! Hallelujah!!
Oh god. I just got a 30 pack and I have way too much junk already. What have I done..
Wow. Meh. Where have you been all my life? This is my first time on here and I'm about to take a bath in this crap...
In for 30! Hope to find one that I can use and send the other 29 in the next Mehrican exchange.
I thought about buying 30, but I actually want 40 and I'm too cheap to spend another $5 :/
I guess I'll order some of this shit. Of all the things, this is my first buy.
What the fuck am I doing...
@Talidan Buying stuff on the interwebz. Duh!
I need a carrying case for my cat. Hoping to find one with somewhat rubbery padding in case I drop it. Will any of these fit a medium-sized cat?
@thrashsoundly If not, I'm sure you can use a 2nd one for a topper.
@theco2 Sold!
I just wonder what the circumstances are that lead up to meh getting their hands on so many of these. I just can't pull the trigger on this one though, even though those patterns look, um, "lovely."
Bacon. I feel oddly comforted my first contribution to the Meh forums is the word bacon. Can I add a picture? Does Built NY make a bacon design? Scratch and sniff would be fun. I'm tired. And hungry. And I've played Destiny for way too long tonight. G'night, but first I'm going to spend $8
@crafty Spend $8 instead!
@crafty Now I'm hungry for bacon. Damn you!
@crafty Fell for it...
@crafty Neoprene is a fun thing to scratch & sniff. You don't even have to scratch it, actually.
I find no reference to the word BATH anywhere. Someone please lead the way and point it out for me, thanks
@Drunkenalien I started that in the comments, and it was from them saying they were "Taking a bath" on these. So yeah, BATH!
@Stallion oh yeah, I read that. I guess I was confused when people started saying they were getting 10 free for saying the "secret" word. Lol. You started a mass hysteria... Nice
@Drunkenalien Well, the first person to say Bath did get 10 free. I suspect since it was the first post that @JonT gave 10 away for free to start everyone typing random crap hoping for a free pack of 10. Only the first person that said Bath actually got a free 10 pack so far.
I don't even want one copy of Time Cop.
In for 30. Nor am I sure why I did do such a silly thing.....
@R4nd0mH3r0 silly?? Heck, I bought 90... I wins
Neoprene is a perfect compliment to protect your device from taking a bath;)
Maybe I should help out, a little, in the reach for 1000.
They still have more to sell. Anyone? Anyone?
I don't know why but I'm in to 30 too.
I did 30, can we say yardsale fodder
If you want to add some extras to my order that's fine. Figure since I'm in dallas it would save you some shipping cost
I wonder how much it will weigh in 30 quantities.
It does matter to me cuz i live out side of US
Why did I buy 30?
I'm going to blame it on the sleeping pills when this box arrives.
@pineapple bath? yes, bath.
How about a shower and a bath?
just ordered 90, wish i could have ordered a sweet 100. 90 just seems wrong, 100 would have been a nice number. figure 90 can line my bath tub when in need of emergency extra beds and 10 could be used as a pillow.
Yeah, if Meh wants to throw me some extra, I'll take them, too. If there are too many, I will simply ship them off to my children.
What da meh?! why did i bother checkin tonight....
My first meh - in for the 30 as I didn't get anyone christmas presents so this will do nicely and if BATH really does anything can give out a few presents to strangers!
Bought 30, going to give some away to friends and family, if I find even one that I like for each of my devices I'll be happy.
Meh...
Can you believe I still haven't bought any?
In for 60. Such a deal, had to take advantage of getting more than one bundle. 90, however, just seemed a bit excessive. I work with college students and plan to give these away... they are going to LOVE these and I'm gonna score some points! Maybe I should go back for that third one....
@julielynnd Maybe? MAYBE? What in the heck are you waiting for?!?
@theco2 You're right. I did it. Just hope I don't start having nightmares about being drowned in a BATH of rainbow polka dots, neon pop graffiti and highly-stylized black-line architectural drawings. Damn you Meh! Your deals are just. too. hard. to. resist.
@julielynnd Somehow I resisted, but I still ended up with 10. Meh!
Fine since everyone else is going to say it....
《!!!!!!BATH!!!!!!》
BATH? Yep. I'll need a bath after getting all of this neoprene. They're going to a local university.
What I'll tell my partner: Even if everything we get fits everything else but what we own, it'll be okay. We're not going to have 30 unused neoprene sleeves around the house. I'll use these for padding random bits of expensive camera equipment.
Or I'll use them for bedding when I'm in the doghouse.
Its a giant train wreck. I hope it comes in a giant box that I can jump into it and swim around in a 30pk like I'm taking a bath in soft smooth neoprene!
tonal-domineering-zebra
Yes, the resulting image is just as horrific/awesome as you're thinking it should be.
Sad I missed the knife last night. Happy to have a box of 30 cases. Finally, I'll be able to say I have a case for my case if cases.
I just bought sixty of these. Am I a man now?
bath
Secret Santa / White Elephant is going to be so much fun! Only 346 more days and somebody's going to really, really, really thank me for all this shit.
@Pavlov
I love purple.
30 and flirty. I'm in!
I missed out on the bluetooth headphones. I missed out on the knife. Now I'm about to order 30 of these to feel better? Hmm
@blahg You could just get one of these and use any pair of head phones you like. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GUC4KZI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Is it OK that I ordered some, yet also clicked 'meh'? This has to be the least enthusiastic purchase Ive ever made.
@joehsk That is the ideal use of the meh button. I think it was @snapster himself who told me that.
I hope my 30 are enough to sew me a spectacular wetsuit!
It will probably turn out meh.
grating-exultant-gum. In for 60 that I will paint/bedazzle/decorate and resell, so please feel free to give me duplicates and/or solid colors. Only way I could excuse this purchase while unemployed is to hope I can turn a profit. If not, Christmas gifts for everyone!
@HELLOALICE I was thinking about using them as gift bags!
grating-exultant-gum. In for 60 that I will paint/bedazzle/decorate and resell, so please feel free to give me duplicates and/or solid colors. Only way I could excuse this purchase while unemployed is to hope I can turn a profit. If not, Christmas gifts for everyone!
You can say that again!
Wow. Why the heck do they have so many?
Got 30 when I remembered I had free VMP! I hope my ancient Kindle will fit something, but the rest? ???
Bath??
I should make a neoprene suit.
30 is enough.
I wonder who I can pay to make me a patchwork seat cover out of all the neoprene cases I have coming my way.
why did i buy 30? so i can put my limbs in them while i take a bath probably.
"We're going to take a bath on these just to get them out of our hair." :) I need a deal on shampoo after buying these.
So I bought 90 (gotta get my vmp money's worth) but I wish I could have bought more, 90 won't be enough to bathe in, err bath in
Came in confused. Still confused.
@ttnguyen88 Good, meh's strategy is working then.
I want the black bag.
This is absurd and I must get in on this. In for 10 because I don't think I have 30 devices that can be covered. This is exactly why I love this site though.
@PanicSwitch Cover the devices and then cover the covers.
Just got 60. Dont know why jajaja
Btw. "Bath" just in case there are some 10 packs left
This is so craptastic that I animated my ice cream, which doesn't even make sense.
Meh. Bath. Meh. Bath. Meth. Hmmm... Nope. Not in. But if 10 neoprene thingies launch themselves at my mailbox, it doesn't really stand a chance at fighting back.
Shower.
Did I do that right?
-first time buyer
If I get the 30-pack, will you throw in the cup used for scale?
Okay. We've been schooled. THIS is a deal. Those other guys sell discounted crap. At this price I'll cut them up and make clothes for my grandchildren or hell for us.
Why do I need these? I don't need these. . Oh meh.
I'm planning on dropping these off at work for people to grab, but I can't figure out how to do it anonymously and I don't want anyone to know I bought so much crap on impulse. Help!
@Sancdar Say it was the sleeve fairy?
Not a deal unless it sells out. Is it a deal if it does?
So, what are the chances that I get a coffee mug with the 30 pack?
@mahanna Wouldn't it be funny if they did send you a coffee mug but because there wasn't enough packing it got broken in the shipment?
We are up to ordering 180 of these between my coworkers tonight. Couldn't convince anyone to break 200.
Yay! In for 30! Send some tub toys for the BATH!!
I don't know about using them all but did take a bath for 10 sucked me in for a shower
Oh my... I just took a bath on 90 of them. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!
How is this still available? How many more does Meh have. I'd like to see a photo of someone taking a bath in a pile of these things. LOL
Bath indeed. I plan to use these as super absorbent sponges to bathe my dogs. Seriously? Nah. I'll wash my '69 Dodge Polara with them...
In for 60. Yes. 60.
Such a deal....
My first meh. Cherry popped. Just a matter of time before Wootton takes over?
I don't know. This seemed like a bad idea at 12:49am and it seems like a bad idea now.
30 + bath = meh
How can 30 be sold out? Can't they just toss in a 20 and a 10? And if I put a 20 and a 10 in the cart it's $14. Bad math.
@johntmeche3 That's not bad math. a 20pk is $9 and a 10pk is 5. $5 plus $9 = $14. But it is interesting that the 30pks are all sold out. This is a good thing, they are nearing the end of the supply.
30 was out so i grabbed the higher priced 20..lol
bastards, but then, wait, it says
Built NY Assorted Bundle 1 20 @ $9, but then i realize its 1-20 pack. bastards again!
@jonT I was going to order 30 packs but it was sold out and couldn't add 30 packs, so I ordered 20 packs instead. Is it true that I get extra 10 packs by saying the secret code, "bath"? For some reason, I really REALLY want to get 30 packs.
These seem like they would make great BATH toys for the kiddies.
Bath, Bath, Bath. (does that qualify for 30?)
No more 30's left... so in for 2x 20's. So technically that's 1x 40... preferably not Colt 45 though. Also, gotta put that VMP to good use!!!!
Bath, Bath, Bath
How could the 30 be sold out when I can still buy 20 and 10? Oh, I did buy 20, but if only I could have bought 30.
Poop. 30's are gone and looks like @Jon is in bed. I guess it's only a 20-ct for me. Off to wallow in a bath of my sorrows.
@clarinetbob you only want 30 now bc is not available. ....
aww man, no more 30:/ #bath
I got 90 of these. Using them for prizes for a kids event we hold in the late summer every year. Kids always have electronics. Going to go take a bath and warm up. It's cold here!
Wonder if the sale figure are how many units were sold or sales of 30/20/5? looks like they sold a ton of them and still have more. How many did you guys have?
EDIT: Why is everyone saying bath?
@StrangerDanger They gave a 10 pack out to the first person who posted Bath in the forums, everyone else just followed in the trend.
Had to get 20 omnipresent-terrified-stick
30 is sold out but I can buy 20 and a 10? Meh is pretty meh at maths...
Can I not get a 10 pack?
@nause Yes, those are still available. Just click the big red buy it button and select that option and go through the checkout process.
Hopefully I'll get something big enough to sew a koozie for my water bottle. Also, ah, can buy 10, can buy 20, cannot buy 30? Any particular reason?
I have been a member now for uhm a very long 15 minutes or so. Why was I not informed of this secret word business?
I'm really bummed because I wanted 30 :( I guess I'll just have to get by with only 20 THAT SUCKS! 0.o
@tamytinks I don't think there really was a secret word. I think they were just having fun passing them out, at random. I didn't buy any, but I still have 10 coming my way.
@theco2 you can send your 10 my way if you don't want them
i ended up buying another 20, wtf is wrong with me? and i kind of want the red bin, ultimate laundry cart.
I love purple.
bought a 30 pack because I'm a good samaritan and also because I want to make a dozen dozen coasters made of overpriced neoprene products that no one buys
i got to the meh when there was only 5$ 10 packs of BATH mats left so i got 3 + 5$ shipping. ? is this bath business a trolling method?
Edit - Bath
In for a 10 pack cause I'm a sucker. Hope they get here in less time than its taking my dyson (which still isn't here...)
@tanassa You can use them to line the baseboards of your walls. This will serve as padding, preventing your expensive vaccuum from breaking when you ram it into the walls.
I'm going to have to store these in my bathtub until they become door prizes at two different fundraising events in February. There will still be room, feel free to send more. Think of the children, really, both non-profits benefit underprivileged youth. Hopefully bringing the sense of Meh will create an overwhelming and urgent drive in them to give money.
I can buy multiple packs of 10, is there really no way to get 30 at this point? Because I'd like 30.
@wooguay Yes, you can buy up to a quantity of 3 ten packs for 30 total.
@cengland0 but it would be $15 instead of $8?
@wooguay Unfortunately yes. You missed the early bird special where you could get all 30 in one pack. At that time, you could order up to three 30 packs for a total of 90. Oh, and I see you are not a VMP member so you will also pay $5 shipping on the entire order. So that would be $20 total. You can sign up for VMP for $5/month that will give you free shipping for 30 days.
I want the 30 pack but it looks like theres only the 10 pack... Bah...
In for 30! Let's see what kind of Bikini I can make with 30 sleeves! A sleeveless bikini? Maybe they can bribe me to take more from them!!!
Grabbed a 10 pack, 30s are out or I would have grabbed them. I figure, whatever I can't use for my devices, I can always take to work for the holidays and put in the white elephant exchange. Someone will be thrilled. (Yes, I plan ahead.) Also, now I want to go take a bubble bath.
I love purple.
Hmm. Didn't realize 30-pack was small and only the 10-pack was large. I needed large....sigh, what's a few more bucks and pieces of neoprene around I suppose!
@steelersluver What do you mean?
@steelersluver They're assorted.
@steelersluver If that's the case, this could get interesting, when people start getting theirs.
@steelersluver Hook, line and sinker....
Wow, I can't believe people are buying so many of these. Wish I had so many tablets and laptops that I might need all of those sleeves.....
Are there any that aren't super ugly? I was thinking about getting some but the ones in the pictures are not things I would want to be seen carrying around :P
I was in for 30, but it wont let me select it.
Waaaaah!!!! I'm stuck with only 10!
Took a bath on 60 of them, couldn't bring myself to break $20 or I would have bought 90+. Oh well. Time to get out of bed and take a bath (: Maybe give the pets a bath too.
I thought the secret word was flea.
bath BATH BATH BATH BATH - WTF does this mean? Is someone trying to tell us something?
@Shata Did you wash your ass today?
I wanted 30. I really did. But there are only 10-packs left. Meh. Bath
Bath!
In for 10. Love me some neoprene! runny-pumped-polish
@ralphie Nice going....looks like you bought the last 10.
I bought 30, not sure why but hey I know my kids will enjoy them!
Aw I was awake and forgot to look, then woke up early enough but didn't check soon enough.
Just as well really- I have no idea what I would have done with 1 of these, let alone 30.
@Pantheist The answer is build a waterproof fort for water balloon fights.
@hart I was going to suggest burning them for warmth, but your suggestion is probably more environmentally friendly.
@hart Oh man, now I'm sad that I missed them :(
30 buy.
Packaging size?
Weight?
@Yueunseo
Whatever it fits in.
10lbs (ish)
I didn't really want these, but I was (and am) afraid of what you may do if left with too many sleeves.
Bummed :*(. I attempted to purchase these last night. It sat there "loading" when I clicked "buy" and then fell asleep. Saw this morning they are all sold out. la sigh
I wonder if @JonT has more to give away this morning?
@BillLehecka Maybe! Hopefully! I ordered 60, but can never have enough!
The one thing I did not care if it was sold out! I didn't want them, either.
Thank god these sold out. I have been resisting since midnight last night, peeking back every so often.
@defibrillator I know that feeling. I felt the same about the knives the other night. (But this time I was weak. Very weak.)
@christinerenee whatcha gonna do with your new neoprene sleeves?
@defibrillator I'm planning on having an unboxing party and letting everyone there pick whatever they want. I'll probably save a few for my gift stash too. And after that I don't know. It depends on what I get I guess.
lots of comments up in here
wahh..... $0.27 / each...... i wanna bathe in some cases.... so whos the sucker willing to sell me at $0.30 / each :)
@sskim3 email @jont and tell him to reroute the ones he sent me without permission to your address....otherwise they're going a long round trip back to Texas. bastards.
@unixrab You seriously would send them back rather than accept them graciously? You could donate them to some charity locally.
@christinerenee They haven't left Texas yet...I'd "SIRIUSLY" send them to @sskim!!! That's what I said.
@unixrab waaahhh! wahhhhh! Free stuff!!!! Wahhh! I could cover your shipping to send them to me=) I need an even 100!
@sskim3 I'll sell them you to for .3 each + shipping!
@christinerenee Yes @unixrab would probably send them back. He's an ass most of the time. He could just donate them to his church for their next garage sale but he would refuse the package to make a point.
WAIT?!? How am I an ass for sending back something I did not ask to receive??? Further... how many people who benefit from charity have e-devices that these are going to fit!?? Basically... @jont dumped his garbage into my mailbox and I'M THE BAD GUY!?!?!? LISTEN! : \If (by chance) I am unable to catch Dave the UPS guy - I will be opening a thread whereby I will send these to someone free IF they do something annoying to @jonT for sending them in the first place. Also, they will have to annoy @cengland0 for at least 1 month. FREE STUFF! Everyone cross your fingers that Dave the UPS guy is stealthy! @givemeyoursoul
@unixrab You're an ass just because you said you would send it back and have meh pay for the shipping back. Wouldn't it be nicer for you to just accept it and give them away. The people on charity probably do not have e-devices but the places you donate them to will sell them to earn money that can be used for charity. Regarding annoying me for a month, that already happened when I was the goat in November -- Bleat!
@unixrab Unless Texas is hugely different than the rest of the country, donating to a church or a Goodwill-type place will give you a pretty wide audience of people who would buy the stuff- certainly far more than you are imagining.
@cengland0 THEY DON'T PAY FOR THE SHIPPING BACK... they paid for it to leave Texas in the FIRST place! There's no "bill" on it when it comes back as refused! You can't give this crap away... unless you're @jont ! churches don't have back window stores where all the crap that @jont sends people can get sold... now... GRANTED.. @dashcloud brings up a good point about Goodwill... they would probably sell things that @jont dumps on unsuspecting people... but... why involve all the jet fuel and UPS labor ... just donate it locally in Texas... why send it to me and waste all the fuel and CO2 and Gasoline so I can waste MORE gasoline to take it to Goodwill!???
@unixrab tl;dr
@theco2 t;r
@unixrab Dude, I'm just going by what you said here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/built-ny-assorted-bundle#54b3dba27a9eaeec0aa1501e You said you would send it back on "meh's dime." That lead me to believe they paid for the return shipping.
@cengland0 I think you all just need a nice warm bath together.
@unixrab challenge accepted.... now what does @jonT find annoying??
@dashcloud As someone who regularly shops at thrift stores, I can definitely vouch for paying $$ for what someone else considered worthless. So be a good sport, @unixrab, accept it and just donate it so others can benefit.
@cengland0 to be sure... thou art easily ledst
@MsELizardBeth me apparently... sheesh..
@narfcake IT'S STILL IN TEXAS TELL @JONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@JonT When shipping out unixrab's set, can you put his own address as the return address? That way "return to sender" won't work. :)
@unixrab challenge accepted.
@JonT - hook me up :) highly appreciated
All last night I dreamed of taking a bath, but the water was lukewarm and the bubbles faded fast and the whole thing was sort of 'meh.' Meh.
Meh sold 59,590 of these. Is this record for comments?
Wonder if one will fit my desktop? Living on a dirt road is a constant dust battle.
@Teripie Maybe if you stitch a bunch of those sleeves together, it might fit.
Are all those flame-the-west/east-coast threads combined as long as this thread? That was a hella-lot of reading yesterday.
I bought two BATH-Tubs full... sorry-fine-vanilla and standing-hapless-cheese... Mmmm.. Vanilla and cheese...
I went for three of the 30-packs. I could fill my bath with them! Yay!
Please change my shipping address.ㅠㅠ
Please check my email.
Please write back.
@Yueunseo You can contact meh by using the support form https://meh.com/support Where are you @EthanP
@2many2no hahahaha good one.
Did they release more of these, later on in the day? I seem to remember them being sold out, at about 9:30, this morning, but it seems like people were buying them after I saw them sold out.
I'm so confused.
@theco2 I must not have refreshed the page prior to making my comment below - I wonder if those 50 un-sales were made available? But that wouldn't explain the remaining net drop in sales.
So the sales volume fell by about 50 since earlier today. (Long after the sellout in the morning.)
Is that due to Customer Service working its magic with buyer's remorsefuls?
@RedOak They were @unixrab's orders. :)
Why oh WHY did I buy 60 (YES, SIXTY.. SIX-ZERO) of these things.. My kid needed a sleeve for her Nexus 7, my wife needed a sleeve for her HTC One. So, I figured the odds were in my favor the more I bought, right? RIGHT??
@andrewkl You can send the leftovers to me. I'm going to break them down and sew them into useful things.
Are you going to let me know the tracking no for delivery when it 's on the way? if yes by email or otherway?
@JAEHYUNGSHIN Tracking number will show up on your "Orders" page - https://meh.com/orders - when it's ready. Based on the newsletter, it'll take them longer-than-normal to ship all of these out.
Woo! 60 squishy pieces of neoprene on the way to me here in the frigid north. Fingers crossed for arrival by the end of the month. Bridal shower gifts for everyone! (:
what happened? why did meh cancel my order! I'm super sad, what happened meh? why do you hate me! :(
Still no movement on mine ): Label created on the 14th, but nothing since. Hoping for a sign of life within the next few days. Very much hoping I get them by the end of this month.
@atravis6 I'm think more like St. Patricks Day at this rate....
My order of 30 shipped.
16x15x13 in
12.1 lbs / 5.49 kgs
I see some people are saying theirs were 10 lbs. I will post what shows up on the 23rd.
so, this was my virgin purchase from Meh, and so far it's been just.. well... Meh. Shipping label created 1/14/15, and no movement since then. Once it moves, I get to wait for the whole snail-like process of SmartPost.
@andrewkl You picked an interesting first purchase. We're still working on this, and actually working overtime and the weekend to get it done. It's the largest order our team has ever fulfilled (150,000+ pieces). We've scaled up to address it, but it's still taking time to do it right. Give us some time. Hopefully, it'll be done in the next couple of days.
@hart I dreamed that I could pay extra for expedited/alternative shipping and woke up sad ): Smartpost packages come into my state a mere two hour drive from me, leave my state for the one next door, and come back to my state several days later to be given to USPS.
@atravis6 Fuckin' Smartpost Hubs, how do they work?
@hart I have this image of the meh team, standing in front of a furnace, shoveling neoprene cases into a box.
@hart Thanks Hart... What do I expect for my $21, right? :-) As a kid, I was always picked last for teams in gym class, so I'm having some nasty flashbacks right about now...
Waiting patiently......
Getting nervous. Don't want to read this whole thread but does anyone else have a "not found" when clicking the tracking number?
@pooflady Mine didn't ship yet, but the tracking number is showing up for me for FedEx.
@hems79 Mine says "shipped" on my "Meh" order, but when I click on the tracking number, it says "not found."
@pooflady Was that the usps or fedex that you tried?
@pooflady make sure you are checking at fedex and not at usps... mine is found but it says Anticipated Ship Date: 1/14/2015 and that is all. ;) I think they got sick of looking at them and moved to other orders.
@pooflady Yes, I was checking FedEx. But this morning it says "in transit." Got to the FedEx facility in Texas at 1 a.m. this morning. Supposed to get it Monday.4.3 pounds.
@thismyusername we're still working through these and should be done with them today. See: https://meh.com/forum/topics/built-ny-assorted-bundle#54bd55500c7d29140b4e9696
I got 20 kindle sleeves and I don't even have a Kindle..
@tgarrett1992 - I have 4 nekked kindles in need of some neoprene... wanna unload some my way ?
Yay, mine are moving!! The app I use says 6 days for delivery, but I'm thinking 6 days to hand to USPS. For some reason, a smartpost package will process through 3 neighboring cities. Before going out for delivery. That in itself can take several days. I am East coast, so they are traveling far.
Mine came in today. Might go into details later and maybe a photo. But was a lil surprised that only one out of the 30 had a zipper. It's cool though, all the cases are pretty neat.
Mine are moving through the system, and should be here Monday. Yay.
I haven't completely inventoried, but I got one Macbook 13" sleeve, looks like a couple 11", and a lot of 6-8" ones. We have three 13" Macbooks so I'd love to get a couple more of those sleeves somehow, but we also have various sizes of other devices for which the glut of sleeves should work.
Yay I got my 30. Taking 2 for my Kindle, 2 for a friend's Kindle and 1 for my mom's small laptop... What to do with the other 25?
Wow, mine have actually moved! The wrong direction (south to Dallas)...doubled the mileage to my house.
Hehehe I got 31
@camillethey must have given you mine: I got 29. ;)
My 30*2 set currently status is "Not found"
Why??? Meh had been refused cancel or change address.
Then, Meh has not send to FEDEX. I'm very upset. still has not create fedex label. "Not found
This tracking number cannot be found, please check the number or contact the sender."
My cases arrived today. Seriously entertaining to unpack that box.
But then I decided to count. 29? Really? http://twitter.com/Perkalicious11/status/558001967004663809/photo/1
I thought y'all wanted these suckers gone, but you secretly just kept one from each box, didn't you, @JonT? ;)
@Perkalicious Ask yourself- do you really need one more Kindle Fire case?
I just got my loot. Every single item is for a Kindle! Nothing for for a laptop or anything else! So much for random! I don't even own a Kindle! I ordered a 10 pack also that hasn't arrived yet maybe I'll have better luck with that one...
@simonsz23 Wow that sucks! I'm suddenly wishing I only bought a 10 pack, lol
My 10 pack on the way 4.6 lbs est. 27th
OK so I got 30 cases but none for a laptop which is ALL THAT I WANTED.
Does anyone want to trade? I can trade you 25 kindle cases for one 13-inch or greater laptop case.
PLEASE
@elpepe Pretty sure we all got 80% kindle cases.
@elpepe I would go for that deal if your kindle cases were zipper sealing and not the folding type (or twist open).
I received 29 of the 30 cases I ordered. I guess the missing one must be the one that would fit my iPad mini, which none of the 29 I received will. It probably wound up going to some lucky bastard who got a Fukumafuckit.
@Pony - Well I'm that bastard! I got 31 cases for everything from a MacBook to iPads 1.2and3,9-10" laptop and the required Kindle Fires and Paperwhites. (but I've never been able to get even close to connecting to the server on a FukubuketO'shit.
So. Many. Kindle sleeves.
got mine today. pretty happy with my order, which included a 13" MacBook/MBP sleeve. not bad for $5.
Woohoo! got my today and included 11" MacAir sleeve in all black as well as a TON of kindle sleeves in various sizes and shapes.
Who can guess what kind of coffee table the sleeves are on...
@hammi99 Is it a Zune® coffee table?
@thismyusername here's a hint:
Fuck these useless kindle fire sleeves! Deceived.
@djayme7 Well that is an interesting thing to do with them. Good luck!
@hart, thank you to whoever packed my order! I actually got some sleeves that people will spend money on at the fundraisers. They were well protected thanks to the padding from the kindle sleeves.
3 - zip laptop: 2 flower 16" & a multicolor dot 13"
8 - 10" tablet: 3 black, 1 dot envelopes & 4 dot zip
2 - 6" zip e-reader/tablet (b & w)
2 - Compact camera envelopes (floral)

33 Kindle: 19 Fire & 5 slim sleeves, 4 Late Gen Sleeves, 3 Touch Stretch covers, 1 Fire HD 8.9” slim cover & 1 Touch twist top sleeve.
Mine just came today. I ordered 30 but I only got 24. Should I e-mail them?
@hellojasonyoon No
My came. Very "meh". The 30 pack only came with 26, but oh well. I got 24 kindle cases, and 2 macbook air. Sorry no picture at this time. Lot of flower and polka dot colors!
@bruinscbr I really wanted a 10" macbook air one and had no luck, so maybe we can do a trade?
@bruinscbr I meant 13"
Here is my haul. Out of 50, I got one that barely fits my old MacBook, but I made it work. The rest of my haul fits various kindles and ipads and a couple of cameras.
@gommiebears I envy your green skull case! What does it fit?
@atravis6 I bought a 30 pack & the variety is pretty good with 2 types of those green skull cases *obviously for Kindle (Fire (whatever that is)) 1 is a "Slim Cover" & 1 is a "Twist Top Sleeve".
I like purple.
In for 10, kept the 2 I wanted and sold the others on a local Facebook sell/swap page. Made $ off of this deal!
Did anyone get a 13" laptop sleeve? I was really hoping to get one in my box and no luck! If anyone is up for a trade I would be down!
@christine403 I will pay shipping if anyone wants to get rid of one :D?
@christine403 I got some 13" sleeves that states they are custom fit for a MacBook, but seem pretty universal. Feel free to look and let me know if you want one: https://meh.com/forum/topics/revelations-built-ny-bundle#54c7b598fd3f151c06e77eee
@atravis6 I would love one! Let me know what you need from me!
@christine403 If you made a post of what you received, can you reply with the link to it? There's too much going on for me to slog through it (:
I bought 2 10 packs (by the time I got here the 20 and 30 packs were gone) I received one box with 10 in them... now what?
@zoommsp If you got two order numbers, you'll get two shipments.
@YahSah15 1 order # - says 2 10 @5 http://imgur.com/cNkKZk2
I bought 30 @ 8 but only received 26 lol. Hardly something to complain about but I'd like to let Meh know...if only so they know that someone's slackin and / or pocketting sleeves for steep profits.

i'm swimming in neoprene! now to figure out what i want to keep.
@vampje wow, i have already found homes for at least half of these already. and both boy and i are happy with laptop sleeves.
I like purple.
So much neoprene.
I ordered 3x 10 packs, but only got one box of 10. wtf? Are there more on the way?
Purchased 90... only got 80. What gives?
Purchased 60 got 50- meh... Got a lot of toe curling flower power and a hell of a LOT of Kindle stuff. Guess Kindle sales aren't doing as well as anticipated. Meh.
WHOOO Whoo! Package has found its way to Massachusetts! Took longer to get from West Virginia to Massachusetts (3 days total!!) than it did from Texas to Alabama.. sigh, delivery might be Tuesday.
I got exactly what I ordered (30 - sad I feel the need to mention that).
My 14 y.o. son now has 10+ cases for his Kindle Fire...
I will say that my wife was actually thrilled with them (the price had some impact on that). She's been excitedly giving some away to friends at the gym.
What the heck? Ordered 90 and only got 80!
disappointing! zero laptop sleeves. all kindle of 7 inch and less.
seriously, 9 GPS sleeves?? who even uses a portable gps unit anymore? literally everyone has a smartphone and/or uses the one that's already installed in the dash of their car. good grief. anyaways, i ordered the 30 pack and like most of you, i received mostly kindle crap and sleeves for portable gps units. i did get a cpl 13 inch laptop sleeves. so maybe it wasnt a total waste.
So I have a problem that others are having I ordered 3 of the 10 and only received 10 the other 20 are MIA. When I have emailed support they asked for a picture of the 10 that I did get and I sent that to them. Now they have gone radio silent so I am wondering if they have taken my money and run off to a third world country? Any ideas how to get the others?
@shopfamdenver I can promise you that we have not absconded to the Swiss Alps with your $10. Our customer support team is backed up and will get back to you as soon as possible, sorry about the wait.
@JonT @shopfamdenver - Oh this is poetic justice!!!!!
I ordered thirty of these... And got 29. I want every freaking one of my sleeves. EVERY FREAKIN PINK POLKA DOTTED KINDLE SLEEVE.
I love purple.
We finally found it... http://engt.co/1Qk7ar6 Amazon is selling $50 tablet in a 6 pack... buy 5 get 1 free.. Now to order 5 of those for all the neoprene... ;)
@sohmageek @jONt bath?
