Why did you bastards trick me into buying something which makes me do MORE work myself? I hate you. Nah, I love you. (Maybe this relationship isn’t healthy.)
@jsh139 Still at 2.2# and left Hutchins, TX this morning… Could be a giant sponge on a pallet, but I think the pallet itself weighs quite a bit more than that… IOW, I think I’m safe
@ciabelle Haha, no. I decided to be half-selfish. I donated one box of 80 and the ones from the other box I stuck up on eBay. Every once in a while someone buys one.
@ciabelle Safety is elusive. Look at the contents of your box very carefully. You may find an envelope containing a polite note explaining that the sky is about to fall on you, because shipment #2 is on its way.
Still processing. I need to stop going to MorningSave to check, because I just bought another speaker. ‘Garadise Curve Cube Bluetooth Speaker’, online only. Well, it’s been a couple of months since I bought a speaker, it was inevitable.
My Fuko hasn’t shipped yet, but I did receive the extra DIY bag that I ordered for a friend. Wish I had known that I needed to order some weasel pelts to make the handles. I wonder if possum pelts would work?

Mine is still showing the placeholder dimensions and weight, but is currently in transit through Divernon, IL, a city wikipedia tells me is named after a character in Sir Walter Scott’s Rob Roy.
Mine shipped 4/6 and is on an actual FedEx truck for delivery today. Not the usual smartpost way. Dimensions are still the placeholder. Excited and worried at the same time.
@baseba4551 Yeah, it’s been a little weird, mine went straight from TX to central IL super fast, and is now only one county away. My delivery date is still a week from today, but FedEx must have updated their routes or gotten really enthusiastic drivers.
Mine is still showing the default weight and size, but it has made a few stops along the standard spiral toward my house and is now at the Eastern edge.
Smartpost packages from Meh pass south of me through Kentucky to near Cincinnati, then up to Indianapolis, then back down into Kentucky for delivery. It’s an odd circuit.
Woot packages used to go up to New Berlin, Wisconsin, before getting to Indianapolis.
Mine is due here on the 15th, although on Saturday it was sitting in Ocala, about 85 miles away. I know from past shipments that it’ll go to Orlando, check into the FedEx hub, get a day pass to Universal and see the new ride, party for a few hours, check into the USPS hub about 36 hours later, then sleep on the ride back from Orlando to Jacksonville, and arrive here around Wednesday. This burns me; I haven’t been to Universal in years.
@OldCatLady My timing will be similar. It left the Cincinnati area (Independence, Kentucky) today and will arrive in Indianapolis tomorrow. It will visit the Kurt Vonnegut museum after the Post Office is notified to pick it up. Even though the ETA is still Saturday, this Post Office will probably get it in Tuesday and deliver it on Wednesday, even though they won’t update their tracking until I’ve already got it.
Well, I just realized that all my shit got sent to the wrong address and is now on its way back to meh. Morningsave had the address from when I first opened my meh account, not my current one.
edit: and it somehow changed my current address on meh back to the old one o.O?
Mine shows 2.2 pounds which I thought was just a placeholder weight. But last time, the package actually weighted about that much and contained hardly anything other than a bag, a mug, and a couple stickers. So when it says 2.2 pounds, I’m likely to believe that’s the final weight since it’s been 10 days now.
@daveinwarsh Please stop posting food images. I’m going to have to stop by my local steak place now, and they don’t have a Senior Citizen’s Early Bird Special. Of course, I’d never eat in a place that did. Too many liver spots. What tourist attractions are your fuko visiting?
/giphy fried crickets
There’s not that much to see in Ocala. Why the fuck did it take two days to sit around in Ocala, stand up, and arrive in Ocala AGAIN? And it’s still there. Scheduled for Saturday delivery. That means it’s got two days at Universal, two days at the Mouse, and another day to meander to my house.
Mine is still sitting in Puyallup, WA. (36 miles away).
It’s been there since Sunday evening.
What the hell is it doing in Puyallup, you ask?
Well, maybe it’s visiting the Ezra Meeker Mansion museum, or maybe it got hungry and went to Fiesta Taqueria & Tequila Bar.
@daveinwarsh i live in puyallup. mine was in north bend then puyallup for several days. now it’s in tacoma. est delivery changed from thursday to friday. i’ve never seen something go in transit here. perhaps they have caught on to all my great happy hour bars.
@meh - Mine has the exact same details as yours, including revised estimate. It departed Tacoma at 10:17 this morning. How long can it take to get from Tacoma to Kent? My experience has been that once it reaches Kent, it gets delivered the next day.
@KDemo yeah mine usually hits kent from troutdale then USPS and me in 1 or 2 days. i’ve never seen this trail before. crazy how inefficient it is lol. when i saw northbend last week i thought i’d have it by last friday.
@meh I just checked. Mine just ain’t leaving Puyallup, I think. If you see a FedEx truck drive by, wave it down for me please.

Oooh, I was expecting my fuko later this week or even next week, but it’s out for delivery right now. All 5.1 lbs of it in its shapely 12 inch cubed box.
mine got scanned ‘in transit’ in my town, on its way out of my town to a fed ex hub. it’s been within 10 miles of me for 4 days, but expected delivery in another 4 days.
Mine updated to 13x13x13 and 6 lbs. Expected delivery moved 1 day closer to Thursday. Although I’m going to get my hopes up it arrives tomorrow based on historical smartpost shipments.
Mine finally updated dimensions when it checked in at Orlando this afternoon. It’s a generous 4.5# 11" cube. I expect it will lose some weight running around the parks, and possibly get its sharp corners dented when it bounces off the concrete block walls of the holding cells in the jail. It’s due here Friday, which is a day earlier, but we all know how that goes.

11" cube that is 4.5 pounds and coming by Thursday. Looks like a typical box for this round so no good for me when I have to explain why I wasted money on this to the fam
The delivery date for mine moved to Friday, but the weight went from placeholder to 2.7 to 2.6 pounds. By the time it gets here it could be reduced to nothingness, which is pretty much what was expecting anyway. Guess I won’t be getting a Roomba or TV
My Fuko is only 20 miles away! It’s in Tacoma.
It only took the last 2.5 days to get 16 miles closer to me.
I call that progress.
It’s still due Monday & is still 16"x12"x10" and 2.2lbs.
@daveinwarsh Last night I saw your list and scrolled by it with my other hand covering it up because I thought it was a reveal/spoiler… I was scrolling up and read it just now, and it made me lol. I feel silly now.
Ummm… mine hasn’t shipped yet. So weird.
@DaveInSoCal Kinda glad I’m not alone in that boat, still haven’t heard anything here either.
Is that a drone I hear outside?!?
Oh wait, that’s the mother ship isn’t it?
NM.
/giphy Amazon Drone
@JanaS But how would a meh drome handle it?? I guess if it got it in the same zip code, that would be good enough, right??
@eeterrific I was thinking in the same state or a contiguous one… or even maybe one that started with the same letter…
Mine is still processing. Slackers.
Will the build your owns ship before the crap ones?
@thismyusername They’re both crap, so they’ll probably ship the same time
What is the difference?
Why did you bastards trick me into buying something which makes me do MORE work myself? I hate you. Nah, I love you. (Maybe this relationship isn’t healthy.)
/buy
@tedesj Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re trying to buy. Make sure you’re posting in today’s deal topic.
Wait…I had to choose stuff? I watched the stupid videos and answered to stupid questions. Paid my money and that’s it. I shouldn’t Meh when I’m drunk…
@mtlandi Nope, you’re good. Choosing stuff was for losers.

FedEx is showing a 2.2 lb placeholder for me
@jsh139 nice! Mine’s still processing.
@Pantheist mine too
But I checked FedEx and I saw they created the shipping label!
@jsh139 ooh snazzy! 2.2 lbs, 16x12x10 right now.
@Pantheist Mine is the same. The other items I bought from MorningSave all show a weight of .5 lbs.
@OldCatLady hm, my other ones are 1.7, .5, .8, and .1
@Pantheist Two of them have now updated to 1.7 and .8.
Yes, 2.2lb placeholder! Come on, Meh, slap that shipping label on something cool!!
To all you winners…
@mfladd shouldn’t that be: to all you whiners?
@mikibell
16x12x10
2.2 lbs
Two of the things I bought on morningsave at the same time shipped.
@Pantheist yup… all my meh items and the floppy hats have shipped!
I’ve got no Fedex information. Should it just show up in the desktop app the way the crap from the other site did?
I also checked the delivery manager stuff, and nothing is there but previous meh purchases.
@craigthom dunno about the desktop app- I found mine by entering the order “number” here: https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=altref&cntry_code=us&freight=yes
@Pantheist Nothing. And I should be notified as soon as Fedex has something for my address.
@craigthom Me either. They’re probably in the middle of label making.
BUT it’s there in the Fedex app on my phone. 1kg (2.2lb) and 16x12x10, like everybody else. I think that’s the default for the shipping program.
Just got my email shipping notification with placeholder data.
@BillLehecka same here!
Processing.
Update: Still processing.
@connorbush have you checked your FedEx queue? Sometimes they don’t get updated properly.
Still processing. Not sure if that’s good news or bad news.
Still just have the placeholder…
@jsh139 Shipped last night!
Wonder who the lucky “pallet-o-junk” recipients will be this year. I still have over 70 pairs of trip glasses in my garage
@jsh139 Still at 2.2# and left Hutchins, TX this morning… Could be a giant sponge on a pallet, but I think the pallet itself weighs quite a bit more than that… IOW, I think I’m safe
@ciabelle wait until it clears the next fedex hub
@jsh139 So you decided not to give epileptic seizures to all the trick or treaters’ last year I take it?
@ciabelle They would contact you separately if you were getting something big.
@ciabelle Haha, no. I decided to be half-selfish. I donated one box of 80 and the ones from the other box I stuck up on eBay. Every once in a while someone buys one.
@ciabelle Safety is elusive. Look at the contents of your box very carefully. You may find an envelope containing a polite note explaining that the sky is about to fall on you, because shipment #2 is on its way.
@jsh139 Halloween trick
@jsh139 halloween trick or treat ought to get rid of the rest of them if you want them out
Still processing…

Mine is still processing.
I also got a BOC, so I’m interested in comparing them…
@daveinwarsh my BOC was named by you. it was very much a BOC too…
@daveinwarsh It shipped!

Gotta appreciate random packages not just for the contents, but for the people who send them.
(I should throw in an adjective or two.)
@Thumperchick Maybe it’s payment for deleting all of the /buy commands?

@Thumperchick
Mine says it will be here 4/14. Still showing the placeholder dimensions and weight.
Mine shipped last night. Placeholder details as well, arriving 4/15.
Reference number lookup was not working as the last letter of my order number was cut off. I guess FedEx has a character limit.

Mine updated to a 5.6 pound 12 inch cube. Sounds very meh indeed. I’ll know for sure on Tuesday.

@baseba4551 I hope you have plenty of insurance.
@baseba4551 FedEx is notorious for not updating dimensions. Then you get a 28 lb carton that’s three feet tall…
@baseba4551 Yeah, it’s been a little weird, mine went straight from TX to central IL super fast, and is now only one county away. My delivery date is still a week from today, but FedEx must have updated their routes or gotten really enthusiastic drivers.

So it also went to Silver Springs or the drag racing museum or both.
@craigthom Possibly even went to the Mouse.

@daveinwarsh If it doesn’t visit extra states it’s not SmartPost.
Still processing. Maybe this week it will ship!

1 liter of Coke
290 pennies
1 pineapple
1 rack of ribs

@meh Oh cool you got the bamboo pillow.
@daveinwarsh mine’s finally been handed to USPS. 50/50 on if it they sort it in time for today.
@daveinwarsh Last night I saw your list and scrolled by it with my other hand covering it up because I thought it was a reveal/spoiler… I was scrolling up and read it just now, and it made me lol. I feel silly now.
Mine was just handed over to the USPS for delivery tomorrow. Is the basic 2.7 and 10 cubed.
I’m trying really hard to avoid the spoilers in here until tomorrow.
Fedex delivered it to my local USPS yesterday, but USPS doesn’t show anything yet. Not that that means anything. But I may get it today.
Original dimensions, but it’s grown to four pounds.
Mine is ‘Out for Delivery’. Four days early.
It also gained 2.8 lbs & a couple inches in girth.
I hope the mailman stays sober long enough to get it delivered!
