FUKO 14 Valentine SHIPPING Thread
1Some day very soon (??? hint hint meh) there will be shipping action. This is the thread to discuss that, along with the waiting, the agonizing, smart post’s failings as a prompt delivery method with the bizarre, scenic route delivery paths some boxes take, and general musings that more or less belong on the shipping thread.
This is not the reveal thread. That needs created when stuff starts shipping. Don’t ruin the surprise on this thread for those those whose boxes have not yet come who also have the self discipline not to sneak over to the reveal thread to peek.
Reveal Thread can be found HERE.

Placeholder Label created: 2.2 Lbs @ 14x9x6 in
Fedex track by reference tells me:
Label Created
14x9x6in
2.2 lbs
I’m sure that’s a placeholder cuz my real package will be hyuge!
@medz yeah like your hands : )
No shipping label here yet – but soon, right? I mean, it’s not like I ordered one or was able to, but I still get one … right?
Shipped: Arrived in Hutchins TX. That was quick
9:32AM - Departed FedEx Location
Place holder info 2.2 lbs and 14x9x6 in
Estimated delivery 2/23/2017
Updated to 11x11x11 in, 3.9 lbs
@Ignorant out for delivery but I won’t be home until later tonight.
@Ignorant I am jealous. : )
Wow shipped already. That was fast.
That was unusually fast… that can’t be a good sign… Or maybe it can, who knows
However props to the shipping department!
Just got my standard placeholder shipping notification as well. Wow! Hope it grows bigger than the stated 2.2 lbs.
Or maybe not.
Processing
Standard placeholder, scheduled to arrive next Thursday, usually gets here a day or two early but we shall see!
Mine hasn’t shipped yet. I wasn’t successful in ordering one, but I figured Meh is due to do me a favor
So those of you who have the standard placeholder now instead of processing, which time period did you buy it in? 11, 8 or 4? I am trying to figure out if they are shipping “in the order received”, in which case I “received” about, maybe 10 seconds prior to the sell out and likely mine will be sitting there all lonely and alone in the warehouse for a while LOL
@Kidsandliz I ordered mine at 12:03 and havent shipped yet.
@Kidsandliz I thought there was once a thread where @shawn said they were trying to arrange shipping so that everyone will get packages at the same time. If that is so, fuko’s for those farthest away should ship before fuko’s for those nearby.
@sligett
@Kidsandliz I ordered mine at 8AM. Shipped, same place holder dimension and weight.
@shawn I’ll tell you how ya did. I probably am the furthest away for you shipping wise. It says next Monday. So likely Saturday or Monday…
@thumperchick - thanks for adding the reveal thread link
Well, mine hasn’t shipped yet, but I’ve already done a lot of agonizing. This is my first fuk_bukuro but I didn’t realize that, at some point, meh stopped selling “fukubukuro” and began only selling “fukobukuro” and I never realized this subtle, but important distinction.
@TAsunder
May 20th, 2016
@PlacidPenguin aha, well, I am nothing if not ignorant, I guess…
@TAsunder you are nothing. I am ignorant.
@Ignorant
my high school gym teacher was right…
Place holder here too
2.2 lbs and 14x9x6 in
Estimated delivery 2/24/2017
Mine’s still processing. Bought at 4PM. Sending to East Coast.
@looseneck Got a place holder here too
2.2 lbs and 14x9x6 in
Estimated delivery 2/25/2017
I just got a notice mine has shipped. Bought 4pm, headed about 500 miles from Dallas. I’d bet some more people are getting notices as I’d guess there was just a pickup from meh. Expected delivery 24th. Placeholder 2.2 lbs and 14x9x6
Got the shipping notice too. Bought at 4pm and it has about a 430 mile distance to travel. Same 2.2lb placeholder weight and 14x9x6 box dimension.
Got my shipping notice with placeholder stats.
Placeholder 14x9x6in 2.2 lbs due in NY 2/27.
@Thumperchick same date as me according to fed ex!
Arrived in Lenexa KS, 2 more stops before it’s here! Still has placeholder until the next stop.
Well mine just left TX at 6:21am this morning. If they’d drive straight through, just stopping for gas, they’d be delivering it around 2 or 3 pm… Should I be holding my breath? Nah… probably on the Fed Ex “turtle express” rather than in a truck.
The current location of mine is only about 40 miles from me, but my estimated delivery was just updated from next Friday to next Saturday… WTH?
@SPARTEN2 Depends on what is around you, Mine was already in Florida yesterday, but won’t be delivered until next Thursday. Probably is going to stop in Orlando for a little R & R before getting to me.
Should I be nervous or nervously optimistic that I haven’t shipped yet
@racampbell1 Well at one point they said they ship VMP first… so that might be it. If you were getting a pallet that was coming by a non smart post method of shipping you’d be getting an email. But then if it can ship smart post you wouldn’t hear.
Don’t give up hope of shipping movement on this holiday weekend.
Mine left where ever it was in TX at 3:19am headed towards Memphis. Memphis is only 3.5 hours from me. It is predicted to take 5 days to go those last handful of miles.
Mines close enough that I can drive and pick it up within an hour. Yet I won’t get it until Thursday lol.
Mine’s in the same county as me and it says it will get here Friday. It’s usually wrong though. Los Angeles is a big county, but not 4 days to trek across big.
@madmod20061 but it’s been raining add 3 days to your commute.
Standard placeholder 2.2 - 14/9/6.
Friday. That’s like multiple days away from today. I shouldn’t bitch cuz my lucky ass scored one during VMP rush, but I’d expect that Meh drones could probably deliver within 8-9 hours (depending on charge).
@spectra242 me too. Vmp rush ftw!
I think they are purposely making sure our Fukos are close to us in miles-yet still multiple days away from being delivered. Ah-the agony.
My fukobukuro went through Starke, which is 40 miles away and then south to Ocala, which is 90 miles away. What the heck?! Placeholder 2.2/1496
@morrdt they like to see the sights.
Got mine during the VMP flash.
Currently sitting about 40 miles at a FedEx waiting for the handoff and still at 2.2 w/ 14x9x6.
Wt updated from 2.2 to 3.3 after passing thru an another fedex location - size also updated from 14x9x6 to 16x12x11
Updated to 4.3lbs and 11x11x11 inches…mine goes to 11.
@spleener Mine is ALSO 11x11x11, 4.3lbs, and the plot thickens!
10x10x10 clocked in at 3.1 lbs and estimated time of delivery is today, by end of day (yeah, ok mailguy)
@Alderuen delivered, but nobody home…interesting…
@Alderuen This is not the kind of box you sign for… Doubt it is insured either. LOL
4.4 lbs 11x11x11 and currently sitting on my front porch while I waste away at work debating bailing to open.
@mdjst5 leave early. Everyone will understand.
Mine is not updated and finally left Memphis - 3.5 hours away from me, and won’t be here until… oh my…Saturday.
10x10x10 2.8lb says Thursday, probably tomorrow tho.
VMP Batch. Phoenix, AZ.
13x13x13, 7.2lbs Fri 2/24/2017 by end of day, Georgia. Got mine at 12:05 in some baffling way
@ugadoch so what’d you get?
@tachijuan Sorry, I wasn’t clear on that. Fuko is due Friday. Bought it at 12:05AM the day of. Some folks are interested if you got it at midnight, 8am or vmp 4pm
Mine updated to 17x15x15 in. and 3.1 lbs. Shooting for a Thursday delivery.
All 3.7 lbs of my 17x15x14 in. package is out for delivery!
that’s a big box for a little weight.
@show_the_maw I got mine during the 8am sale and I’m in some bigish city between KCKS and SCSD.
Just updated to 12x12x12 and 5lbs, Looking forward to Friday!
At the local post office, won’t be delivered until tomorrow morning.
@lichme Where do you live? I’ll, um, pick it for you…
@Kidsandliz 4 Privet Drive in Little Whinging, Surrey
@lichme I’ll just give Harry Potter a call and ask him to send it over to me via some magical method he probably will keep a secret. Oh wait. I was picking it up for you. Oops.
@Kidsandliz Please send an owl to retrieve it. Anybody but Pigwidgeon
@lichme I just edited and we crossed in the mail. I was going to ask Harry Potter to use whatever magical means at his disposal to send it.
@Kidsandliz So many to choose from. He could put it in a vanishing closet, accompany it via floo powder, take an enchanted car, hail the knight bus, drop it from the sky on the way to a quidditch match. Possibilities are endless.
@lichme Well just as long as it ends up with
meyou (right you you you, gotta remember that so I don’t blow my cover) I don’t suppose it matters.@Kidsandliz
Updated to 13x13x13 and 6.0 lbs. Due Thursday, but I am thinking about tomorrow.
Mine updated to 16x12x11 and 4.5lbs. Supposed to be in Friday.
Mine updated to 13x13x13 and 6.2 pounds and delivery updated until Friday. Guess no computer monitor in that for me LOL Probably mostly escaped TX air.
12x12x12, 4.8 lbs scheduled by EOD tomorrow. Got mine out of the VMP 4pm sale. Will post back tomorrow
Shipped yesterday. Estimated delivery Thursday, so probably getting it next Monday, knowing my post office.
@ConradHilton also, 1.8 lbs 8x8x8
@ConradHilton My only concern is that 1.8 lbs of gold takes up considerably less space than that. What else could there be?
@ConradHilton small canisters of tritium gas
@nalesean what a happy valentine that would be. Meh must know how much i love radioactive lighter than air gasses.
Arriving Friday. 10.4 lbs. Snagged it at 4. Damn capcha almost beat me but I whooped it’s ass.
Coming tomorrow, 1 week.
Strange and unnatural…
Mine somehow got even closer to me but shipping added a day so now Saturday. I’m still not convinced it will take that long. I think probably Thursday.
12ish lbs, coming Friday!
About 10 miles away last night, should be 4 miles away soon but still Saturday delivery. 16x16x16 and 11.5 lbs
Ok, I am really late to the party. Meh, whatever. I snagged a 4PM Fuko. After the standard 1kg placeholder information the container grew to 1.45kgs en-route from TX to VA and is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Since it is currently resting somewhere with the USPS I know it is nearby. Only one more day until I will be graced with misfortune.
Mine’s arriving in two days, but my tracking info updated today. Now showing 22lbs and 15"x15"x15".
@TAsunder bricks?
@Kidsandliz That would be pretty awesome. We have a need for some bricks, actually. I was thinking empty coke bottles full of spider webs.
@TAsunder spider webs do not weight 15 pounds, perhaps 15 grams… I think you need to guess again.
Got a printer that is just another boat anchor.
