@jbartus They just started shipping them yesterday, even if people have had tracking numbers longer. I think it usually a week or so to get them all shipped out. Give them another 3 or 4 (business) days before your feel abandoned.
@jbartus If you make fedex delivery manager account you can find your tracking number there. It shows us as soon as the label is made, usually a day or so after the order is placed and a few days before it really ships. I think everyone here that had a tracking number and place holder stats before shipping emails started going out yesterday, got them from fedex.
@DJTy201 Meh is still processing mine, too. But that’s pretty typical for me. My orders always seem to be squeezed out fairly late after they’ve had plenty of time to be processed into big, greasy Fukos.
Seeing as how I purchased this a week ago and its still processing, I am becoming increasingly nervous. Not nervous about it coming or not…but nervous for what is coming…fuuuucckk.
Shipped. Anticipated arrival date: 7/23. I’ve compiled a list of things to do while I wait:
• Trim the bushes (not a euphemism)
• Smoke some pork butt (not a euphemism)
• Wax the Mini (not a euphemism)
• Mount the TV (not a euphemism)
• Lay some new flooring (not a euphemism)
• Strip the wallpaper
• Replace the cyan toner in my Samsung Xpress c410w laser printer (ok, this one’s a euphemism)
@jbartus Oops! I meant to say “Strip the wallpaper (a euphemism for replacing the cyan toner in my Samsung Xpress c410w laser printer)”. Sorry about the miscommunication.
Mine shipped today! I will probably be late-ish with posting the unboxening as I will be in SF next weekend participating in the Avon 39 Breast Cancer Walk. (Not a euphemism)
Mine just gained 17 lbs during its Orlando stopover. I guess I’d better stay home Wednesday, because my mailperson has been known to leave a pickup notice instead of dropping off the box. My woot BoC is also due then, so maybe I can have an unboxening comparison.
@mikibell I take it to mean that the authorities are anticipating civil unrest, à la 1968. My then husband and I were travelling just south of Chicago, and he wanted to drive into the city to ‘see what it was like’. No.
Mine has made it all the way to Ohio. Only about 600 miles to go! Still showing a weight of 2 lbs. Either it’s still a placeholder or it’s a tiny Fuko.
@Barney Yeah, I’d hold off on the “congrats” until I see what it is. However, I’m too excited to care what it is. It’s my first “extra” delivery and I’m super excited. It’s all I can do not to type in all caps.
@PurplePawprints Excited. And terrified. And thrilled. And wary. You’re just a tossed salad of emotions, right? Do you have a designated photographer,’ cause we want video.
@PurplePawprints - So here I am, all excited for you (and @studerc) and realized I hadn’t checked my email today. Guess what?
Yup. Me too. I know just how you feel!
/giphy happy and scared
@PurplePawprints I just checked my email and had one from Holly asking for my digits too! Whatever mediocrity is coming, I’m glad I’m waiting with such great company!
Oh…fukobukuro. @hollboll also just contacted me about an additional shitment…oh sorry, shipment. The meh gods have FINALLY shined their light upon thee. Now the question, will it be the God of goodness and awesomeness or the God of evil torment. Time will tell my friends.
@OldCatLady Well, yeah, okay…I guess sometimes a phone that doesn’t ring is a good thing. I just checked the caller ID. The last time someone called was last week when the vet’s office let me know Miss E’s ashes were back.
When I got one of my cell phones, I was assigning midi tunes to my contacts. My husband said “why bother, no one ever calls you anyway”…
@lisaviolet I only get phone calls from telemarketers, poll takers, and that guy at the Justice Department who says I’ll get arrested if I don’t give him money.
Me is now at 16.7 lbs , and should be here Thursday. Actually it should be here Wed. but Fed ex is being weird and sent my package from a hub an a hour away, back to a NC hub it normally goes through. But still glad that it’s coming
My package updated to 19.1 lbs and delivery moved from Saturday to Thursday. I suspect this isn’t necessarily a good thing. The last time something like this happened I got a used, non-functioning Dyson with parts missing and gobs of hair in the brushes. Ewww.
@conandlibrarian She is only sending out a failed idea to me. It takes many attempts to perfect the full range of emotions @hollboll is trying to express to you! I am merely going to receive what she deemed unworthy of such an undertaking. One day she will finally send you the perfection she is seeking.
Currently “In transit to postal service”, which is a shame because fuko was gonna be my main funemployed activity for the day. All in due time, I guess
My package shipped yesterday and is in Houston already, but won’t make it to me until Thursday. Weight updated to 22.8 lbs… I’m hoping it’s a couple of cats. I need some more cats.
Yay! Mine updated for delivery on Friday, and gained almost as much weight as I have in the last few days of nervous eating in anticipation of my first Fuku!
Well, my Fuko is now only one state away. And tracking STILL only shows 2 pounds! [Sigh] I’m trying to come to terms with the idea that I’ll be receiving a little, tiny Fuko this time around.
/giphy mini me
WTF, damn RNC. Both my Fuko and my BOC got delayed by a day. Now my BOC is scheduled to arrive on Thursday and my Fuko on Saturday. BOC, 2.9 lbs, Fuko still 2.0. If I’m not WAY disappointed, which i likely, I’ll report contents of both.
@Kleineleh My BOC and Fuko shipments have converged and will likely arrive Thursday, possibly today. BOC 2.9 lbs, Fuko 3.9 lbs. I’m now expecting 6.8 lbs of thrift store donations. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
@Stumpy91 BOCs seem to be a total crap shoot (so to speak) but I’ve never been completely disappointed with a fuku/fuko. Although now that @hollboll asked for my number to set up delivery I am a bit nervous…
My Fuko has gained weight. No longer 2 pounds, it has ballooned up to 13.9 pounds. While I wouldn’t exactly call that morbidly obese, it makes it a nice, portly Fuko in my book. My little chubby Fuko is just two towns over, scheduled for Friday delivery.

/giphy good things come to those who wait
Any body else have a tracking number already?
@lichme I found mine doing the good old track by reference. It’s currently sitting as “Label created”.
@lichme
I have the 2 lb placeholder tracking number.
Bump. Still “pending”
@jsh139 got my email. Still 2 lbs.
/giphy tracking number initiated
“Shipped” just now with a 2 lb weight. I’m guessing the weight is a placeholder?
/giphy shipped shipped ship shipped
2lb placeholder
I’ve had the 2lb place holder since the 9th.
/giphy move along
This will be my first fuko. I’m hoping for 1.9 lbs of bag and 0.1 lbs of crap.
/giphy fingers crossed
I’m so excited. I love terrible surprises. Delivery date of 7/22, supposedly.
/giphy terrible surprise
Is anyone else still stuck at “Processing”? I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve been forgotten.
/giphy mediocrity
First Fuko, terribly excited at its impending mediocrity.
@jbartus wow, I guess the Cowboys should be the official NFL team of Mediocre, Inc. – Maybe they need a sponsorship deal @snapster
@jbartus They just started shipping them yesterday, even if people have had tracking numbers longer. I think it usually a week or so to get them all shipped out. Give them another 3 or 4 (business) days before your feel abandoned.
@metaphore I was kind of teasing because I don’t even have a tracking number yet. Not really worried or I’d be bugging support.
@jbartus If you make fedex delivery manager account you can find your tracking number there. It shows us as soon as the label is made, usually a day or so after the order is placed and a few days before it really ships. I think everyone here that had a tracking number and place holder stats before shipping emails started going out yesterday, got them from fedex.
@metaphore thanks for the tip, didn’t think to check it since nothing notified me.
In other news mine shipped today.
I feel like I was #521 – literal-fishy-disease is still processing…
@mikibell I must’ve been 520.9- also still processing
@DJTy201 Meh is still processing mine, too. But that’s pretty typical for me. My orders always seem to be squeezed out fairly late after they’ve had plenty of time to be processed into big, greasy Fukos.
ahh thanks Meh for making me look silly – about 2 hours later, I received my shipping notification --due to arrive 7/22!!
I just got my shipping notification…it’s about time.
@mtbm33 Patience, grasshopper.
@juststephen I’m not really upset, just anxious for it to arrive!
Mine shipped today for a 7/21 delivery date-says 2 lbs also. Hope that isn’t the real weight cause that is about what a dump of mine weighs.
@Felton10 nope it always starts at 2 pounds then it changes after the first stop
@communist Usually doesn’t change until Atlanta for me.
@Felton10 0.7lb, just for you. A flat hospital pillow and a fuku bag.
shipped today…2lbs place holder weight…
@bullrocky I’m assuming you’ll recieve…
/image two pound chocolate bar
Melted. It’ll firm back up in the freezer.
Got my shipped message today as well
I’m so excited!!
I’m less excited and more worried about what the hell’s on its way

7/21 delivery date. 2lb placeholder weight.
7/23 delivery date, 2lb placeholder weight. And so it begins.
Amazing. Another thread made up of lurkers that never come out for anything but Fukos.
I try and I try, but this is the thanks I get?
Try a post now and then (besides fukos), people!
(re-post)
@mfladd I come out and post quite often!
@juststephen you are not included in this menagerie of lurkers. But “quite often”? Lets not get carried away
@mfladd I stalk the forums a lot more than I post…
@juststephen the term you’re searching for is lurk.
Mine shipped today. Delivery scheduled for 7/23, placeholder weight at present.
#Excited
/giphy quiver with anticipation
Seeing as how I purchased this a week ago and its still processing, I am becoming increasingly nervous. Not nervous about it coming or not…but nervous for what is coming…fuuuucckk.
@studerc should not have complained about all your sucky fuku/os…
I didn’t get one because I was exhausted having recently moved. I blame
/goat
Oh, that slash command doesn’t work? Boo.
@medz @shawn I think this would be an excellent slash command to have and fairly easy to implement since you guys already distinguish the goat user
@jbartus great idea
/giphy make it so
/giphy fuko anticipation
Tracking says it will be here the 21st, but it’s already on the way to my post office.
Processing, The anticipation always kills me then I’m excited to get it and then wonder where to put the stuff.

@rv617 wait, I’m confused. Was ‘Strip the wallpaper’ a euphemism or not?

Mine shipped today! I will probably be late-ish with posting the unboxening as I will be in SF next weekend participating in the Avon 39 Breast Cancer Walk. (Not a euphemism)
Got my notice at 3:15 on Friday…the later they ship, the more you get…right? (of course that could mean more “meh”).
Mine just gained 17 lbs during its Orlando stopover. I guess I’d better stay home Wednesday, because my mailperson has been known to leave a pickup notice instead of dropping off the box. My woot BoC is also due then, so maybe I can have an unboxening comparison.
@OldCatLady That’s what I am going to do. I will need to sit on the BOC for two days before my fuko comes.
Showing a weight of 5.3 lbs…
/giphy five pounds of fun
RNC and DNC are impacting my FUKO delivery!! Why did fedex send it through OH???
@mikibell I take it to mean that the authorities are anticipating civil unrest, à la 1968. My then husband and I were travelling just south of Chicago, and he wanted to drive into the city to ‘see what it was like’. No.
What in the fuck is happening at or near Hutchins, TX…box has been there since 9am on fucking Saturday.
Mine has made it all the way to Ohio. Only about 600 miles to go! Still showing a weight of 2 lbs. Either it’s still a placeholder or it’s a tiny Fuko.
Oh my goodness!!! I’m hyperventilating right now. Holly just contacted me for my phone number to set up delivery!!!
/giphy excited and scared
@PurplePawprints Congrats! Maybe?
@Barney Yeah, I’d hold off on the “congrats” until I see what it is. However, I’m too excited to care what it is. It’s my first “extra” delivery and I’m super excited. It’s all I can do not to type in all caps.
@PurplePawprints Excited. And terrified. And thrilled. And wary. You’re just a tossed salad of emotions, right? Do you have a designated photographer,’ cause we want video.
@PurplePawprints - Do you have a delivery estimate? I need to know how long to hold my breath.
@KDemo Not yet. I just got the email to get my phone number to set up delivery, so my guess is that it hasn’t shipped out to me yet.
@OldCatLady No, I’ll likely video it myself so I don’t have to be in the video. haha
@PurplePawprints - So here I am, all excited for you (and @studerc) and realized I hadn’t checked my email today. Guess what?
Yup. Me too. I know just how you feel!
/giphy happy and scared
@KDemo That’s awesome! Congratulations! I’m excited for you and @studerc, too! I wonder how many more emails, if any, went out today.
/giphy yay yay yay!
@PurplePawprints - Perhaps even some to people that don’t use the forums?
@PurplePawprints I just checked my email and had one from Holly asking for my digits too! Whatever mediocrity is coming, I’m glad I’m waiting with such great company!
Oh…fukobukuro. @hollboll also just contacted me about an additional shitment…oh sorry, shipment. The meh gods have FINALLY shined their light upon thee. Now the question, will it be the God of goodness and awesomeness or the God of evil torment. Time will tell my friends.
@studerc Nobody ever calls me…
@studerc Donald Trump and ‘unknown name’ and ‘FAV’ keep calling me. The Donald is asking for money again.
@OldCatLady Well, yeah, okay…I guess sometimes a phone that doesn’t ring is a good thing. I just checked the caller ID. The last time someone called was last week when the vet’s office let me know Miss E’s ashes were back.
When I got one of my cell phones, I was assigning midi tunes to my contacts. My husband said “why bother, no one ever calls you anyway”…
@lisaviolet I only get phone calls from telemarketers, poll takers, and that guy at the Justice Department who says I’ll get arrested if I don’t give him money.
@lisaviolet to be fair, I won’t be doing the calling.
@hollboll that’s okay, I don’t have a ringtone for you.
25.7 pound due Thursday! Woo hoo!
@sammydog01
@sammydog01 That’s heavy enough to be almost anything. What size is it?
@OldCatLady The size never updated. I’m hoping for a creepy thrift shop statue.
Mine gained some weight, up to 3.3lbs. Its currently in processing centers nearby, so I’m hoping it brings me some good luck tomorrow.
I’m scheduled to receive 13.7 pounds of mediocrity tomorrow. I’ve never been so excited to be underwhelmed!
/giphy long long time
Still showing 2 pounds. Now in Columbus Ohio. Much anticipation here. I haven’t scored a fuku in a long long time!
Mine is 2 pounds still… Hoping it is actually more than that.
Me is now at 16.7 lbs , and should be here Thursday. Actually it should be here Wed. but Fed ex is being weird and sent my package from a hub an a hour away, back to a NC hub it normally goes through. But still glad that it’s coming

Anyone watch Melanie Trump speech tonight? Along with Rick Perry that means there were 3 boobs on stage tonight.
Package updated to 4.0 lbs, and should be arriving tomorrow. By then, maybe it will be 8.0 lbs.
5.9lb, will be here Friday. My Boc will be here Thursday. If I can resist opening the box, I’ll do a both at once comparison video
Looks like I’m another one of the lucky(?) few @hollboll reached out to today. Anyway you look at it, this should be fun!
@Raider I hope you have a garage.
@Raider @hollboll, my one and only is sending out love notes, and they are not to me???

I won’t get my hopes up. I’ve received quite a few and they’ve been a huge disappointment. The Fuku/Fuko’s have been much better, in my experience.
My BOC and Fuku are racing. They’re tied now, to be delivered tomorrow. One has always been a day ahead of the other, until now.
Should I do a video comparative unboxing of the two and post it?
Let me know, yes or no.
