@cranky1950 5am? That's too early to commit to. How about just release new products when it's convenient for me?
I also thought really strongly about cancelling my non-existent VMP subscription. Except I am subscribed, so out of protest, watch me NOT CANCEL MY VMP TODAY! That'll show 'em!!
@walarney@carl669 - 5/28/2016 - Saturday
1:45 pm In transit WASCO, OR
2:42 am In transit SALT LAKE CITY, UT
it’s now a little over 3 hrs from me. Watch it make a U turn and go into hiding.
@KDemo Sounds like our packages have been on the same truck and have now made it across the Cascades.
6/01/2016 - Wednesday
3:19 pm Arrived at FedEx location TROUTDALE, OR
fuck me sideways with a spork! mine gained 25.2 lbs on the way from OR to WA. total is listed as 27.2 lbs. 17" cube. it’s at my local post office, but still shows delivery as saturday.
@heartny hmm… if i get rocks in a box, can i get boxes for rocks?
edit: turns out i can.
i can get boxes for rocks.
it’s like a sock for my rocks,
but made from a box.
like tics for a toc.
and ships for a dock.
rocks, socks, box, tocs, docks.
i can. i can get a box for my rocks.
@MrGlass it would appear so. I hope those that paid are getting at least a coupon code or something a little more valuable. I’m suspecting that I’m getting a box of bacon bowl molds
Oh good, mine is just leaving Holt, FL. From there it will go to Orlando, where it will check in and check out, about 12 hours apart (to use its day pass to Disney). Then it will check in to the FedEx office in Orlando, spend another 12 hours (day pass to Universal), then head back to north FL, where USPS will keep it for a day or two, treat its sunburn, then get here on Friday.
Where's the dashboard with a camera to watch the warehouse guy pick the product off clearly identified shelf locations? I demand special interfaces that give processing routers and inventory visibility as a VMP, and I demand it yesterday!
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE meh’s shipping department and just how fast SnailPost is? Take all the time necessary for carefully packaging stuff, please!
@MrGlass Well, there’s priority-based shipping, and just-in-time shipping, and first in/first out shipping. Perhaps Meh has implemented a new complaint-based shipping system.
@DMlivezey I say we hijack this thread, it’s the meh way! Glad I’m not the only one, it has honestly made my year seeing that pop up…yes my year has been that craptastic that a FUKOBUKURO made my year.
@cengland0 yeah – my other 3 bags could be neatly arranged from best to worst based on weight. I dont think meh will be sending gold bullion, they aren’t Nigerian business men
@nalesean At least you have me beat. Mine is 2.2 pounds.
It is not the placeholder weight either. It was at 2.0 pounds for several days and I kept refreshing several times a day every day and it just changed a couple minutes ago to 2.2 pounds.
/giphy Woo Hoo
@nalesean Mine just updated to 3.2 lbs 16x16x15 in. I am bracing for disappointment as well. No TV or Roomba for me. However, if it’s a functioning tablet I would be happy
@cengland0 True enough, I’ve seen a few that small posted before and they were underwhelming. Didn’t @studerc have one that weight on the one previous to April 1 Fuko?
@nalesean Shipment information was sent to FedEx on 5/20. My package arrived at FedEx on 5/26 and departed from there on 5/27. Delivery has been updated to 6/2, but the size and weight hasn’t changed. Bracing myself for mediocrity.
Haven’t checked mine in a couple days and of course it is out for delivery to my workplace on my day off today. Looks like my package dropped some weight in transit from 2lbs place holder to a 13x10x6 1.5lb unlike the masses it seems who have gained weight. Maybe not rocks but some pebbles. Considering its my first fuko, should I be worried?
Processing, but my BoC is already on its way. I was hoping to do a side-by-side reveal, with a song playing in the background:
I want to open my BoC. Fuko! Fuko!
I want to open my BoC. Fuko! Fuko!
I want Woot’s pre-sent to me. Fuko! Fuko!
What is in it i want to see. Fuko! Fuko!
@Thumperchick Mine is en route too with the 2 lb placeholder, but delivery is scheduled for Saturday 6/4. Since I am having it delivered to work, which is closed on Saturday, I may have to wait for 6/6 to see it in all its glory.
Shipped! 2lbs and will be here by 6/6/6… If it arrives on that date at 6:00… and you don’t hear from me ever again… blame Meh for sending me something demonic.
But I am hoping it will be here by the 4th for it is my Happy Hatchday! And funny thing is I might get the Fuko before I receive the Nabi Look Camera!
Just a little concerned; mine has lost weight. It’s now 2.0 lbs. Since I also scored a BoC today, that’s showing on my list, at 1.1 lbs. Yes, I know the weights are fig newtons, but I will watch both with interest.
@narfcake mine is in the City of Industry as well! Mine usually goes to Chino, but knew something was different when it first went to Thousand Palms.
Mine still says that it wont be here until 6/6.
Woke up Sat and also got the shipping notification. Fed-Ex is suppose to notify me of any movement … didn’t get anything so didn’t check. BUT my fuko has moved from TX to KY with an EPA to PA on 6/6 but my postoffice has been really good at getting things out early :faint:
@Barney No data updates on Sunday, and sometimes not on holidays. Mine hasn’t checked in since Friday, but I know it’s at Disney or Universal because that’s where Florida packages always dally.
@OldCatLady Mine left Kansas City a few minutes ago. I’m surprised it’s on the move and I’m getting updates. Someone’s gonna get fired when they’re caught working on a holiday weekend.
Mine has hit New Jersey on it’s way to New York. Delivery date changed to Friday (Yeah!), but still has placeholder weight. Glad it won’t be delivered to work on Saturday when the office is closed.
@jayman7227 Same friday, no weight. Normally updates once they pass it off to usps. I leave for a month on thursday so might try to pick it up tomorrow. If not the wife will have the joy of opening it.
I knew this would happen. Mine took four days to tour Florida (Disney, Universal, beaches) before it checked in to the FedEx office in Orlando. It stayed just long enough to shower and nap, then went out clubbing and didn’t show up until 0947 today at the SmartPost office. It is undoubtedly sunburned and hungover, so it ought to be a fun passenger on the trip up to Jacksonville. Barf bag, anyone?
I’m so happy for you. How nice. It never works for me, just adds another leg to the pathway. Wait, what? All of a sudden USPS has announced that they have my 13x13x13 6.2 lb box and it’ll be here today. Keep on bitching, folks!
@narfcake I was going to wait until I had my BoC (tomorrow, perhaps) and open them side by side. Unfortunately I have no self-control, but it’s okay because the new BEM Duo needs to be charged before I use it. I don’t know whether I could have stood the excitement of two in one day. Oh, and I got a gun, too.
@KDemo sounds like our packages are still bunk mates. Mine is 11 x 11 x 11 and 4.5 lbs. Hoping they get it here Friday. As I have clearly angered the deliveryman gods, I am still not ruling out that FedEx will hand it to USPS who will conveniently lose it in Seattle mail jail.
@smartr Screw bunk mates, mine is almost a twin. 17x17x17 and 17.7 pounds. Odd thing is, it went to a fecex facility super close to me (where they have sent directly to my house from before) then decided they needed to fit the scheduled delivery date and sent it to a town about 3 towns over.
Due 3 June, still placeholder weight. I don’t think FedEx update their data over holidays, so unless it actually changes size/weight before Sunday, it’s all a mystery. Since FedEx does not tell the truth all the time, it’s a mystery anyway.
Shipped, it’s still at 2lbs, and has been traveling since 3am moving over 658 miles from Hutchins, TX to Albuquerque, NM where it is still currently traveling. ETA the for Sat the 4th, aka the 6th at the office.
@seraphimcaduto speaking of hazmat suits, someone brought us back some jars of Cambodian fish sauce from Cambodia. They mailed them to us in a priority mail box with NO PADDING!!!. And of course one broke. The post office left us a package note. They had it in one of those huge carts on their back porch, all by its lonely self. When I showed up to pick it up they wanted to know if it was dangerous and if the person who handled the box was going to get sick. Umm no other than it stinks to high heaven. I think this stuff is nasty but my daughter loves it and you can’t even get that brand in an asian grocery store.
I woke up this morning and found out my fukobukuro has shipped. All 2 lbs. made it to Hutchins TX with an estimated delivery date of 6/6. It’s happening.
Dread is increasing. What wrath have I brought upon myself?
My fuko weight updated to 7.1 lbs (if that means anything) and is now due to be here on this Thursday. Sooo, I have a chance of getting it on Wednesday or Friday.
I think that @moose is mad at me. I haven’t yet posted a picture of the nice non-participation award I got back in the drawing thread. One day when I’m back in the basement, I’ll do that.
My 2 lbs. showed up in Lenexa, KS (2 miles from work) yesterday somehow. No holidays for the Fuko?? Still says it won’t ship to my house until Friday. Still an improvement from the ETA of Saturday previously given. Why take 4 days to move 20 miles though?
This weekend we had the most beautiful, hot, sunny day Saturday but suddenly the sky turned dark and the clouds opened for about 10 minutes dropping a shit load of rain then stopped just as quickly and the sun came back out!
Bees have been swarming and my fuko shows that Fed-Ex has delivered to Grove City, OH with the next stop being Grove City, PA the USPS hub.
My fuko and two Banana Boat speakers left Texas on 5/26 and arrived in Maryland on 5/29. The speakers have both made it to West Virginia but the fuko hasn’t moved. Hmm…
My package woke up early this morning to take a 2 hour trip from “fedex smartpost”, which I thought was my local post office, to my actual local post office. It got there at 6am so I am no longer confident it will make it onto a truck today. Which is a shame, I was really hoping for a nice surprise while working from home today.
OMG it worked again! I complain on the forum and 5 minutes later it updates as out for delivery! I’m starting to understand why people are complaining here all the time!
My little box of joy is in my town, but still listed to be delivered on Saturday. It arrived at 5:26 AM, so I am not expecting it today, but should be here tomorrow.
Hahahaha, as a clear apology to me for all the forum abuse and shipping my blender bottles so late that they’re not useful to me anymore until fall, they sent out my free fuko on Thursday. By my calculations, it should be here by Wednesday.
I see you post elsewhere about your pool trip and think we’ve turned a corner with you, then I find this gem alluding to forum abuse and it’s all ruined.
@Dizavid well for what it’s worth the pool trip post and the one about the music are both great posts, if you keep up with that kind of stuff I think you’ll find you’ll get along just fine.
plots the breaking and entering of the FedEx Smartpost facility in Northborough
Does the federal crime for theft of mail apply to packages under the care of FedEx? If I intercept it before it hits the USPS I should be safe… I think
Oh good, this thread exists already.
@MEHcus better start shipping.
This is an outrage!
Why hasn't the Fuko that I couldn't order ship yet? It's been almost 12 hours already!
Also I'm thinking of flying to the East coast so this rant looks more fitting.
@narfcake Yeh you should. Getting up a 5 am eastern time solves all your Fuku problems.
@cranky1950 5am? That's too early to commit to. How about just release new products when it's convenient for me?
I also thought really strongly about cancelling my non-existent VMP subscription. Except I am subscribed, so out of protest, watch me NOT CANCEL MY VMP TODAY! That'll show 'em!!
Still says processing.
Weight updated to 14 lbs of “go fuck yourself, @studerc”.
Expectations remain tempered.
@studerc 14 lbs. of rocks.
@Barney omg i hope! Rocks would be fucking sweet in comparison to the 14 pounds of literal shit im expecting.
@studerc I’m still shocked any time they send you something in anything resembling a reasonable time-frame.
@studerc you always have the worst luck with the fuku/o bags
@Barney
@Barney mine shipped. scheduled 6/4 delivery.
@carl669
@carl669 - Me too, Sat 6/04/2016 by end of day
@carl669 mine is already in northern Oregon almost to Washington, how about yours? Do you think they’re really going to take another week to get here?
@KDemo ugh. mine went from TX to NM and apparently took a scenic route via UT. scheduled for 6/4.
@KDemo I think mine’s on the same truck again. Still says 2lbs.
@walarney @carl669 -
5/28/2016 - Saturday
1:45 pm In transit WASCO, OR
2:42 am In transit SALT LAKE CITY, UT
it’s now a little over 3 hrs from me. Watch it make a U turn and go into hiding.
@KDemo or just sit in Wasco until Friday.
@walarney so far your prediction seems accurate.
@KDemo Sounds like our packages have been on the same truck and have now made it across the Cascades.
6/01/2016 - Wednesday
3:19 pm Arrived at FedEx location TROUTDALE, OR
You’re here in Washington too? No wonder you’re @smartr. Mine took 4 days to to make 1 hour of progress. Extra anticipation, we’re extra lucky!
fuck me sideways with a spork! mine gained 25.2 lbs on the way from OR to WA. total is listed as 27.2 lbs. 17" cube. it’s at my local post office, but still shows delivery as saturday.
/giphy determined-mottled-sweater
@carl669 I hope you like rocks.
@heartny hmm… if i get rocks in a box, can i get boxes for rocks?
edit: turns out i can.
i can get boxes for rocks.
it’s like a sock for my rocks,
but made from a box.
like tics for a toc.
and ships for a dock.
rocks, socks, box, tocs, docks.
i can. i can get a box for my rocks.
@carl669
Does that rock have a dock?
And a secure lock?
That’ll withstand a heavy knock?
@narfcake
the rock from the speaker dock rocks.
but the speaker dock is locked in a box.
oh meh, oh meh, free the locked dock.
@carl669 NEVER, says the fox.
@narfcake
fuck the fox.
fuck the fox with lox.
may the fox catch the pox.
the pox for locking the docks.
@carl669
The fuko I didn't order is still processing. If @JonT were still around, well, it would never ship. Or so I hear.
@sligett Hey! Now it’s processing! Still.
@sligett Uh oh.
Waiting…

My order is processing so I am processing the processing of my processing order- guess it is just a process to process.
@AttyVette
My $0 Fuko has arrives at the Dallas
FedEx Hub. Showing a 2lb placeholder
@stryper2000 Mystery fukos shipped before paying customers?
@MrGlass it would appear so. I hope those that paid are getting at least a coupon code or something a little more valuable. I’m suspecting that I’m getting a box of bacon bowl molds
@stryper2000 Probably just mold
Processing
@DaveInSoCal
Mine’s still processing. I’m sure it’s tough to find a box big enough to fit my 1950 19’ Chris-Craft Racing Runabout. Take your time, Meh.
@rv617 I want that
Oh good, mine is just leaving Holt, FL. From there it will go to Orlando, where it will check in and check out, about 12 hours apart (to use its day pass to Disney). Then it will check in to the FedEx office in Orlando, spend another 12 hours (day pass to Universal), then head back to north FL, where USPS will keep it for a day or two, treat its sunburn, then get here on Friday.
@OldCatLady Mine just left Lenexa KS. Oh, so close, I can almost smell it. But it won’t get here until Thursday or Friday.
@OldCatLady I think we live in the same route. Mine was also in Holt, FL. Mine is still there and not moving – probably due to the 3 day weekend.
Got mine in a few minutes ago!!
@clonetek holy crap, a MINI…
@thismyusername Looks like it was a return, but works fine!
Ugh.
Where's the dashboard with a camera to watch the warehouse guy pick the product off clearly identified shelf locations? I demand special interfaces that give processing routers and inventory visibility as a VMP, and I demand it yesterday!
@smartr they did have it yesterday. where were you?!?!
@smartr
Bwaahahahhahahahaha
since mine hasn’t shipped yet, i’d like to formally request cricket flour protein bars be included in my fuko. thank you and goodnight.
@carl669 Please take ALL the insect protein products. Please.
@OldCatLady gladly!
@carl669 Some of them sounded ok (PB&J), but I do not think I could handle the mango curry. I am not a big mango fan.
@conandlibrarian i just looked at the savory ones. the sweet ones seem to have far too much sugar for me.
@carl669 I can’t star cricket flour protein bars. Nope.
@Barney but they’re sustainable and apparently, delicious.
@carl669 Because I like you so much, if I get any, I will send them to you.
Still waiting…
@Barney Mine fuko’s free, and it’s still processing, so I expect those who paid will wait longer. That’s the most mediocre way.
Or maybe Meh’s tank of purple is empty, so you’ll have to wait till they fill it to get your fuko.
@sligett
And it’s off!
Due Friday June 3rd
@Barney i fixed this for you.
@carl669 Aww, I love purple.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE meh’s shipping department and just how fast SnailPost is? Take all the time necessary for carefully packaging stuff, please!
@narfcake here ya go…
Labels created already, that's some mighty fast work meh. You'd better knock it off, being efficient isn't a standard you want to start setting.
2Lb Placeholder on my order that somebody pulled out of their bum.
@lichme Same here, still processing though. Now I can annoy FedEx constantly.
@lichme labels printing is the easiest part of the fukou shipping process, especially if its only 400ish orders this time
@lichme That doesn’t sound like an easy feat - I don’t want anything that weighs 2 lbs coming out of my bum.
Still processing. With how much I paid for this thing I’d expect much slower shipping.
@cinoclav
Anticipation…
Still processing. I like to imagine its taking so long because its a large shipment
@MrGlass It shipped! Posting this totally made it ship you guys!
Est. Saturday 6/4, 2lb placeholder.
@MrGlass Well, there’s priority-based shipping, and just-in-time shipping, and first in/first out shipping. Perhaps Meh has implemented a new complaint-based shipping system.
@rockblossom Thanks for that one, I needed a good laugh this afternoon.
@rockblossom I thought the complaint-based shipping system puts you to the back of the line?
(I’m basing it on @studerc’s history here.)
@MrGlass
You guys, it left Texas! Its coming!!!
Mine hit Lenexa, KS. Still 2lbs.
@medz If it travels like mine did, it will change weight when it gets to KC.
@Barney i still call foul on this ‘like mine did’, reveal yourself, oh you who really placed this order, not the purple, pear shaped, stuffed animal
@DMlivezey @Barney
Who’s a purple, pear shaped, stuffed animal?
@DMlivezey @Barney @FroodyFrog
@Barney yup in kc now. 6.7 pounds
@medz I hope your luck is better than mine.
package left salt lake on friday. no word since then. it’s 2lbs, but has no dimensions. so, i can only assume they’re shipping me a singularity.
@carl669 Perhaps it will meet up with @walarney’s and mine in Wasco OR and become lost in time.
@KDemo if there’s good breakfast in Wasco, i’ll just go pick it up!
@carl669 if you’re lucky maybe they sent you a breakfast fuko.
Mine updated today to 31.4 pounds and dimensions of 25x18x12 inches. These are gonna be the best rocks ever!
My First Fuko is Processing…
Is there a separate shipping thread for the 40-ish mystery fukuten orders? Mine is still processing, I feel so verklempt.
@DMlivezey I say we hijack this thread, it’s the meh way! Glad I’m not the only one, it has honestly made my year seeing that pop up…yes my year has been that craptastic that a FUKOBUKURO made my year.
@seraphimcaduto sorry about your year, and not to disappoint, but the best part of my last fuko was the anticipation
@DMlivezey Thats why these threads are so popular
@DMlivezey you’re right its entertaining, the excitement/anticipation/dread
So, is this waiting the unlucky bag? Is that all there is?
@sligett
@sligett Is that all there is to the circus?
@OldCatLady I love Peggy Lee.
Not yet shipped. I leave in a week for Paris, ill be gone for over a month I know it’ll arrive the day after I leave.
@whistlingwilly Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it.
@whistlingwilly but, but you get a month in Paris. Fair trade-off I’d say.
OH GOD IT’S MOVING
Mine is still processing. Ruh-roh.
@Angryface they are making one “extra special” for you
Mine is relaxing in GA en route to NC and remains a svelt 2lb. Bulk up with some pecan pralines, l’il fuko. You’ve got 4 days.
it blossomed to a beautiful 10.5 lbs
25 lbs. 17x17x17. Due Thursday, 6/02.
5.7 lbs 16x15x15
Brace for disappointment!
I never get the heavy ones, ugh.
@nalesean 5.7 pounds could still be a valuable haul.
@cengland0 yeah – my other 3 bags could be neatly arranged from best to worst based on weight. I dont think meh will be sending gold bullion, they aren’t Nigerian business men
@nalesean Maybe it’s not gold but it could be an iPhone 6 (with a cracked screen), or a broken radar detector, or a 4TB crashed hard drive.
@cengland0 True – those would all be cool. Or a hand drawn note, or a letter about that other package would be nice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@nalesean At least you have me beat. Mine is 2.2 pounds.
It is not the placeholder weight either. It was at 2.0 pounds for several days and I kept refreshing several times a day every day and it just changed a couple minutes ago to 2.2 pounds.
/giphy Woo Hoo
@nalesean Mine just updated to 3.2 lbs 16x16x15 in. I am bracing for disappointment as well. No TV or Roomba for me. However, if it’s a functioning tablet I would be happy
@cengland0 True enough, I’ve seen a few that small posted before and they were underwhelming. Didn’t @studerc have one that weight on the one previous to April 1 Fuko?
@heartny When did yours ship? Mine was stuck in processing limbo for awhile
@cengland0 also I’m not seeing a random gif come through on your woo hoo?
/giphy Woo Hoo
@nalesean Seems placement means everything. I thought you could put it on any blank line but apparently it has to be the first line.
/giphy Seems legit
@cengland0 That makes sense, and now I know as well.
@nalesean Shipment information was sent to FedEx on 5/20. My package arrived at FedEx on 5/26 and departed from there on 5/27. Delivery has been updated to 6/2, but the size and weight hasn’t changed. Bracing myself for mediocrity.
Mine just jumped to 19x18x18 inch and 20lbs… ominous.
/giphy ominous 20
mine’s 33.1 pounds and 17x17x17. should i be worried?
@NAFderwin yes. maybe it’s a fish!
@carl669 let’s hope it fits in my 17" box.
@NAFderwin
@conandlibrarian well ya know…it’s been through a lot…
Haven’t checked mine in a couple days and of course it is out for delivery to my workplace on my day off today. Looks like my package dropped some weight in transit from 2lbs place holder to a 13x10x6 1.5lb unlike the masses it seems who have gained weight. Maybe not rocks but some pebbles. Considering its my first fuko, should I be worried?
Patiently waiting…
@Barney
@lichme Yeah, that too.
@Barney Purply waiting…
@lichme ha… I read that wrong… thought you were correcting @Barney’s grammar… incorrectly – to I’M patiently waiting…
@mikibell Go back to work.
@Barney you are so right… I am too distracted…

Has there been total staff silence on this mystery?
@sligett ¯ \ (ツ) / ¯

Shipped! 2lb placeholder with est delivery of June 3rd.

On it’s way. I’m as curious about what’s in it as I am who is responsible for the love (or hate… depends).
Mine’s en route 2 lb placeholder, due 6/6
@Thumperchick Mine is en route too with the 2 lb placeholder, but delivery is scheduled for Saturday 6/4. Since I am having it delivered to work, which is closed on Saturday, I may have to wait for 6/6 to see it in all its glory.
Shipped! 2lbs and will be here by 6/6/6… If it arrives on that date at 6:00… and you don’t hear from me ever again… blame Meh for sending me something demonic.
But I am hoping it will be here by the 4th for it is my Happy Hatchday! And funny thing is I might get the Fuko before I receive the Nabi Look Camera!
I think you meant 6/6/16…
What happens if it shows up at 6:06:06?
Just a little concerned; mine has lost weight. It’s now 2.0 lbs. Since I also scored a BoC today, that’s showing on my list, at 1.1 lbs. Yes, I know the weights are fig newtons, but I will watch both with interest.
I received shipping notification this morning. I’m blaming @medz that they got it out so soon.
It’s out of Texas; last point was Las Cruces, NM. Thursday or Friday may be a possibility versus the estimated 6/6 arrival.
Well that’s weird. What’s my package doing in a general FedEx facility in the City of Industry, CA instead of the SnailPost hub in Chino, CA?
That is, unless this box was too big and went ground instead? It’s still the 2# placeholder, though.
@narfcake mine is in the City of Industry as well! Mine usually goes to Chino, but knew something was different when it first went to Thousand Palms.
Mine still says that it wont be here until 6/6.
@conandlibrarian Odd indeed. Well, I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
@conandlibrarian Is your box showing Chino now?
@narfcake It showed Chino for two days, and is now in my town. It still says that it will not be delivered until Saturday.
Mine has arrived in California, but still says it will not be delivered until 6/6. I am hoping it will be here by 6/1.
Woke up Sat and also got the shipping notification. Fed-Ex is suppose to notify me of any movement … didn’t get anything so didn’t check. BUT my fuko has moved from TX to KY with an EPA to PA on 6/6 but my postoffice has been really good at getting things out early :faint:
My package was in Virginia yesterday but it hasn’t called home since! I’m starting to get worried. What if it ran into some bandits?
@MrGlass I’d feel sorry for the bandits.
@Barney No data updates on Sunday, and sometimes not on holidays. Mine hasn’t checked in since Friday, but I know it’s at Disney or Universal because that’s where Florida packages always dally.
@OldCatLady Mine left Kansas City a few minutes ago. I’m surprised it’s on the move and I’m getting updates. Someone’s gonna get fired when they’re caught working on a holiday weekend.
@OldCatLady Mine made it to Hagerstown, Maryland today. I think it’s at the outlet mall.
@Barney Okay, maybe it’s just Florida where they don’t update. Unfair.
@sammydog01 FTR, mine is STILL in beautiful Holt, Florida. Never even made it to Orlando.
Weight update… 10.8 lbs
Mine has hit New Jersey on it’s way to New York. Delivery date changed to Friday (Yeah!), but still has placeholder weight. Glad it won’t be delivered to work on Saturday when the office is closed.
@heartny Did you get your Heliotrope Edition of Meh? Or if you wish, the Barney Edition (blush)?
@heartny Mine just hit NJ too! Are our Fukos traveling together?
@MrGlass Could be. Race to the finish?
@Barney Haven’t had a chance to, but it’s on my list of things to do. Looking forward to purple Meh
Mine showed up in Phoenix on Sunday. Still at the 2lb weight. ETA 06/06
@jayman7227 Same here! Same Team!
/giphy "go team"
@whistlingwilly mine updated to end of day Friday! Still no update on weight/size. You?
@jayman7227 Same friday, no weight. Normally updates once they pass it off to usps. I leave for a month on thursday so might try to pick it up tomorrow. If not the wife will have the joy of opening it.
Yay! No longer processing, now shipped!
@Angryface is angry no more
I knew this would happen. Mine took four days to tour Florida (Disney, Universal, beaches) before it checked in to the FedEx office in Orlando. It stayed just long enough to shower and nap, then went out clubbing and didn’t show up until 0947 today at the SmartPost office. It is undoubtedly sunburned and hungover, so it ought to be a fun passenger on the trip up to Jacksonville. Barf bag, anyone?

checking fed-ex and discovered this:
Shipment exception:
Barcode label unreadable and replaced
Fed-Ex mishap or?
@fjp999 17x17x17 and a big boy at 21.1 lbs.
/giphy Woot
Mine has updated to a 14inch cube with a weight of 8.8lbs
Mine is now 9.2 lbs, but still taking its sweet little time to get here.
/giphy snail mail
13" cube at 5.8lbs. I NEVER get the big ones…
@spectra242
/giphy too small
I’m so happy for you. How nice. It never works for me, just adds another leg to the pathway. Wait, what? All of a sudden USPS has announced that they have my 13x13x13 6.2 lb box and it’ll be here today. Keep on bitching, folks!
Out for delivery today at a reasonably tiny 3.5 lbs. Hmmm…
Mine is 20x17x6 in and 6.7 lbs. Is that close to a Roomba box size? Seems pretty short.
/giphy 6.7lbs
@medz Too small and too light. Sorry!
/giphy not a roomba
Out for delivery. 11" cube, 4.5#. That’s double the weight of the BOC that I still haven’t opened yet, so double the disappointment?
/giphy it’s not a cat
@narfcake I was going to wait until I had my BoC (tomorrow, perhaps) and open them side by side. Unfortunately I have no self-control, but it’s okay because the new BEM Duo needs to be charged before I use it. I don’t know whether I could have stood the excitement of two in one day. Oh, and I got a gun, too.
Out for delivery today. Updated to 16x15x15 and 7.8lbs.
Updated, 7.1Lbs 15x15x15 - Not due until Monday, but it normally arrives sooner
My package just arrived in Kent Washington and updated to 17 x 17 x 17 and 17.1 pounds. I like the Symmetry, thanks for the odd numbers meh.
@KDemo sounds like our packages are still bunk mates. Mine is 11 x 11 x 11 and 4.5 lbs. Hoping they get it here Friday. As I have clearly angered the deliveryman gods, I am still not ruling out that FedEx will hand it to USPS who will conveniently lose it in Seattle mail jail.
@smartr Screw bunk mates, mine is almost a twin. 17x17x17 and 17.7 pounds. Odd thing is, it went to a fecex facility super close to me (where they have sent directly to my house from before) then decided they needed to fit the scheduled delivery date and sent it to a town about 3 towns over.
Mine is still processing too. Good things come to those who wait, right?
Jumping the gun a bit, eh?
Mine still says “processing”
Also still processing
@clonetek @MsELizardBeth The trash truck hasn’t stopped by this week yet.
My third or fourth… still has that first fuko excitement though.
Still processing…
@hollboll I don’t see the fuku in my order history, what gives?
Due 3 June, still placeholder weight. I don’t think FedEx update their data over holidays, so unless it actually changes size/weight before Sunday, it’s all a mystery. Since FedEx does not tell the truth all the time, it’s a mystery anyway.
futuristic-crass-rod - Still processing
Shipped, it’s still at 2lbs, and has been traveling since 3am moving over 658 miles from Hutchins, TX to Albuquerque, NM where it is still currently traveling. ETA the for Sat the 4th, aka the 6th at the office.
woo shipped Weight 2 lbs / 0.91 kgs
Mine is still 2lbs, I’m thinking donning one of the hazmat suits at work might be a good idea when I open it, lol.
@seraphimcaduto speaking of hazmat suits, someone brought us back some jars of Cambodian fish sauce from Cambodia. They mailed them to us in a priority mail box with NO PADDING!!!. And of course one broke. The post office left us a package note. They had it in one of those huge carts on their back porch, all by its lonely self. When I showed up to pick it up they wanted to know if it was dangerous and if the person who handled the box was going to get sick. Umm no other than it stinks to high heaven. I think this stuff is nasty but my daughter loves it and you can’t even get that brand in an asian grocery store.
My $0 mystery fukobukuro is in Hutchins TX. Still shows 2lbs.
I woke up this morning and found out my fukobukuro has shipped. All 2 lbs. made it to Hutchins TX with an estimated delivery date of 6/6. It’s happening.
Dread is increasing. What wrath have I brought upon myself?
My fuko weight updated to 7.1 lbs (if that means anything) and is now due to be here on this Thursday. Sooo, I have a chance of getting it on Wednesday or Friday.
Its been 72 hours and it still hasnt called home. I think thats long enough to file a missing persons report. What do I do???
/giphy panic

/giphy mad moose
Mine is:
STATUS Processing
still. Will it ever ship?
I think that @moose is mad at me. I haven’t yet posted a picture of the nice non-participation award I got back in the drawing thread. One day when I’m back in the basement, I’ll do that.
@sligett I wasn’t mad.
But I am now.
I am excited. 16.9 lbs on my shipment. Scheduled to arrive by Thursday (6/2) but fingers crossed for a 6/1 delivery. Says its 17" x 17" x 17"
My 2 lbs. showed up in Lenexa, KS (2 miles from work) yesterday somehow. No holidays for the Fuko?? Still says it won’t ship to my house until Friday. Still an improvement from the ETA of Saturday previously given. Why take 4 days to move 20 miles though?
@Hskrjer99 Smartpost is not so smart.
@narfcake Today, it has traveled north to KC,KS…further from my house. Sense this makes not.
It somehow managed to pick up some weight though (6.5 lbs. now) so maybe I should let it circle the KC metro area and continue to pack on the pounds.
Thursday!
This weekend we had the most beautiful, hot, sunny day Saturday but suddenly the sky turned dark and the clouds opened for about 10 minutes dropping a shit load of rain then stopped just as quickly and the sun came back out!
Bees have been swarming and my fuko shows that Fed-Ex has delivered to Grove City, OH with the next stop being Grove City, PA the USPS hub.
Coincidence? I think not!
My fuko and two Banana Boat speakers left Texas on 5/26 and arrived in Maryland on 5/29. The speakers have both made it to West Virginia but the fuko hasn’t moved. Hmm…
All three boxes are back together again and heading to the post office.
/giphy together again
Shipped out today, estimated delivery Saturday. Placeholder weight. Expectations tempered.
Mine updated to 6.1 pounds, 13 inch cube. Looks like my floors are staying covered in dog fur.
Arrived at smartpost! Updated to 4.2lbs. I’m hoping texas air is slightly lighter than New Jersey air and is throwing off the scales.
Weight updated to 20lbs!! Ahhh what could it be!
My package woke up early this morning to take a 2 hour trip from “fedex smartpost”, which I thought was my local post office, to my actual local post office. It got there at 6am so I am no longer confident it will make it onto a truck today. Which is a shame, I was really hoping for a nice surprise while working from home today.
/giphy work from home surprise
OMG it worked again! I complain on the forum and 5 minutes later it updates as out for delivery! I’m starting to understand why people are complaining here all the time!
/giphy Fuko delivery
My little box of joy is in my town, but still listed to be delivered on Saturday. It arrived at 5:26 AM, so I am not expecting it today, but should be here tomorrow.
/giphy happy dance
Mail just came, but no sign of my fuko . Fedex tracking stills hows it out for delivery, USPS tracking has no idea about my package.
/giphy what does it all mean?
@MrGlass On a separate truck? It happens sometimes.
@MrGlass Does fedex tracking show FedEx SmartPost or FedEx Ground? Probably coming via FedEx truck and not USPS.
@medz “U.S. Postal Service will be delivering this shipment.”
@narfcake
/giphy crosses fingers
ITS HERE!
Hahahaha, as a clear apology to me for all the forum abuse and shipping my blender bottles so late that they’re not useful to me anymore until fall, they sent out my free fuko on Thursday. By my calculations, it should be here by Wednesday.
@Dizavid boo
@Ignorant This is meh we’re talking about. For all we know, the unlucky bag might be filled with liberal campaign flyers.
@narfcake they should still charge him
@Dizavid
sigh
I see you post elsewhere about your pool trip and think we’ve turned a corner with you, then I find this gem alluding to forum abuse and it’s all ruined.
@jbartus This time it was tongue-in-cheek. Although I am still a bit mad about all that.
@narfcake If that happens, I’m kidnapping Irk and making him into my assistant/cuddle buddy.
@Dizavid well for what it’s worth the pool trip post and the one about the music are both great posts, if you keep up with that kind of stuff I think you’ll find you’ll get along just fine.
@Dizavid thay is weirdly the least creepy thing anyone has wanted to do with a kidnapped Irk.
/giphy maniacal-annoying-lithium
It’s Alive! My fuko has arrived in Hutchins TX. Std weight. Due 6/9.
@sligett Now it has departed Hutchins!
3:27 am Departed FedEx location HUTCHINS, TX
@sligett Zoom - now my fuko has gone thru TN and VA. Still 2lb. I hope I get a pallet of broken cheerson drones!
@sligett Getting close to VT now –
Arrived at FedEx location WILLINGTON, CT
@sligett woo! When’s it due and what’s your address? I’ll drive up from MA and stea… sign for it for you so you can stay at work.
@sligett It’s still trucking along:
Arrived at FedEx location
FEDEX SMARTPOST NORTHBOROUGH, MA
It should arrive Monday. It is bigger and heavier now too.
@jbartus My address is POB 82. But Barb wouldn’t give it to anyone but me and Murphy.
Sorry.
@sligett ah but it’s in my state…
plots the breaking and entering of the FedEx Smartpost facility in Northborough
Does the federal crime for theft of mail apply to packages under the care of FedEx? If I intercept it before it hits the USPS I should be safe… I think
@jbartus It would be funny and serve you right for you to steal it - it’s a big box of crap, I’m sure.
@sligett just got back from Northborough. As usual specs on FedEx wrong. Package 3.2 lbs and only 6x6x4, opened up, gold bullion!
#Winning #IWish
I suspect it will actually be delivered today at the business address, but the tracking makes it look like it’s actually in mail jail.
