Fukobukuro 17: MEH-RATHON EDITION shipping thread (Take 2)
5I know, I know. We already have a shipping thread for Fuko 17. Well too bad.
Anyways, since the mehrathon, I have been trying to track my Fuko by reference through FedEx.
I got a tracking number yesterday, and I was just notified that my Fuko arrived in Hutchins. ETA for delivery is next Thursday.
Anybody else who has been tracking by reference gotten notified that their Fuko was on the way?

MINE TOO!
/giphy happy dance
@sammydog01
Just got the email.
Pfff. I blame @RiotDemon for the delay.
@mflassy it showed up though, woo.
Mine shipped too, due Saturday
Mine is going to mostly empty
12x9x9 inches and 1.6 pounds.
Lets see, a bag and maybe just a couple of ounces left.
@Kidsandliz Geez, how heavy do you think that bag is?
@cinoclav Well by the time you count the weight of the box and tape - oh wait not much tape used… (grin)
@cinoclav Well this is very odd…Looks like meh has retracted the shipping and transit it had shown… mine is now listed as processing. Huh? So who knows. Maybe take two will weigh a bit more so more will be in it? Maybe the sky will rain money?
Actually based on the same shipping date and box size I’d bet the order I had after that for a family member’s birthday present got accidentally entered in my fuko order instead of crap in a bundle order and someone now fixed that error… so now maybe when it finally ships I will get a box, bag, tape AND something else in there (grin).
Mine is listed as 16x12x10 in. and 2.2 lbs. But aren’t these all just placeholder weights until it passes through the hub or whatever?
@ACraigL Same here
@ACraigL yes that is placeholder
@ACraigL Yep, same dimensions and weight listed for mine too.
/
aka outer-fussy-pistachio
is on it’s way
ETA the 10th
Still processing…
@duodec And shipped! Due 10/12, and showing the default weight and size.
Mine is due Wed the 11th and looks to be 2.2 lbs and 16x12x10.
Processing
2.2lbs, 16x12x10 as well
@tightwad Mine too. 2.2lbs, 16x12x10
/giphy operatic-owlish-competition
@tightwad @caffeine_dude That’s the typical placeholder size and weight. It should change.
@conoclav Dimensions updated, as is delivery date. Delivery is supposed to be EOD today (10.5.17). Package dimensions changed to 14x11x11 and 5.9lbs. Clearly not a roomba.
Mine is pending delivery date but same dimensions as most (placeholder?).
Hope y’all have lots of Pepto-Bismol on hand as your gonna undoubtedly need it when you realize it’s gonnabe all candy corn they couldn’t sell
@AiraCobra
HAHAHA my candy corn is in perfect condition and we are eating it away at work
/
/giphy afraid-level-sidecar
is on the way, and I am
/giphy a bit excited.
@hems79
If you’re even a bit excited, you’re doing something wrong.
@mflassy
Label created…
Still processing!
@bruinscbr Mine also- Three things ordered since then and already shipped already. How long does it take them to put together a bunch of useless crap?
@Felton10 Oh it takes time! I Don’t mind waiting though. I would guess it will arrive in the next two weeks
Got my placeholder label.
Mine made it to Hutchins.
Will be interested to see where it goes next.
Processing. Must be still dragging my last fuko of the day bag through hot tar for the dappled effect.
Still processing, but label created, 2.2lb (1kg) placeholder. Let’s get some movement on this thing!
Mine shipped yesterday.
10/04/2017 - Wednesday
6:37 pm In transit FORD, KS
6:34 am Departed FedEx location HUTCHINS, TX
we’ll see. FedEx, as it’s usual BS, declines to send me notices even though i have an account for them AND signed up for them.
/
Still processing.
My order is still processing as well!
Fedex says the label has been created, and shows the tracking number. Meh says it’s still processing.
13x13x13 and 4.2lbs. I’m feeling the disappointment already
Mine now says Friday delivery. We shall see. Last time it took 2 business days longer.
Placeholder dimensions and weight. In transit - Lamar Colorado, 10 minutes ago. Delivery date -
/giphy pending…
It has now been sitting on a FedEx ground delivery truck waiting for a driver on Monday morning since 4am. Since I get my packages delivered at work FedEx skips the whole transfer to usps thing and delivers it direct with the dozen or so packages we get every morning.
Fortunately there’s not much Meh could send me to give our FedEx drivers much pause (we regularly get 50lb boxes of ground coffee, weird shaped machine parts, and full 1/6th bbl kegs shipped from Hawaii)
@Oneroundrobb Well and that is only if they don’t take Monday off, being Columbus day and all…
Well mine had listed a tracking number, a delivery date, said it had even made it out of TX and now the tracking number is gone and it is listed as processing???
Too late to edit: Think I may have solved that. After the fuko I ordered something else for a family member’s birthday. Same box size. Shipped allegedly the same day. Bet that tracking number accidentally got entered into the wrong order, someone caught that mistake and fixed it.
And that fuko thread has been changed to: “FedEx SmartPost: Monday, October 30th - Thursday, November 2nd” so unlikely mine had shipped and then gotten had the tracking number stripped due to being caught in the Bermuda Triangle (spell check had changed that to tragical LOL).
I bet their order of crap from the dollar store warehouse is late so our fukos will be “late” (grin).
AND NOW IT SAYS IT HAS SHIPPED AGAIN!!! Who knows what really is the truth LOL
Nashville! I wish I was there with it.
My 16x12x10 2.2 lbs/1 kgs fuko has departed Memphis as of 7:15am this morning. Memphis is a 2 hour drive from my home. Estimated arrival? 5 days from now. FedEx Smartpost is a joke.
@benjaMEHn I was just coming here to say this. I also live two hours from Memphis, mine is scheduled for delivery in four days. Seriously, fed ex?
@Kessilari @benjaMEHn and I am about 3 hours from there, mine has been sitting there since Friday and not due until this Thursday…
I just got a shipping notification from Meh, and I confirmed on Fedex that it’s in route – 2.2lbs, 16x12x10 – stupid placeholder. I know it probably weighs less. 2.2 lbs is a lot of gold
FedEx is in possession of mine now. Estimated delivery: 12th
Woohoo! Shipped!
IT SSHHHIIPPPPPPPEEEEDDDD!!! it has the.placeholder weight of 2.2 lbs. The box dims are 16x12x10. Are they usually correct?
Sadily delivey is in A WEEK…phuf…
@tinamarie1974 The placeholder is seldom what the final delivery specs are. Sometimes they gain weight, sometimes they lose weight. Shrink. Grow. You just never can tell.
@ruouttaurmind OMG! It sounds like a man lol.
Thanks for the info, I guess Ill need to keep an eye on it.
@tinamarie1974 FedEx dimensions & weight usually start as a placeholder. As it passes through various stations, they change, not always based on reality. In short, FE lies like a rug.
@OldCatLady IDK Ive been to several of their sort stations, including the main hub in Memphis and it is mind blowing. They have spots on the belts where the package stops for mere seconds and it is weighed, a picture is taken and a laser thing takes the package dimensions. Now…ask me how often they calebrate their systems ??? No idea.
Dang. I was kinda getting used to having that unfilled order in my Orders page. Kinda like an old friend, right?
Unfortunatley, my warped-undersized-veil has been assigned a tracking number. Which means it’s actual dispatch from Meh is surely imminent. Probably even as soon as the end of next week or so!
I’m going to miss all the anticipation (dread?) for when it finally arrives.
@ruouttaurmind hopefully it was worth the wait!
@tinamarie1974 TBH, the last three or four have been non-events. In fact, I couldn’t even muster the motivation to post a reveal on the July Meh-rathon one.
But I have gotten a couple of gems. Definitely better than any BOC I received.
My box of Texas air and other not-delights is in the FedEx location in Hutchins, Texas! I also have the probably-placeholder dimensions of 16x12x10 inches and 2.2 pounds. Scheduled to arrive end of day October 14.
For reference, I was in Fukobukuro set 2, 4-ish PM Eastern.
My package has been delivered…now the countdown to when I get home begins…
@tightwad Looks like you get to start the reveal thread!
Mine claims shipped for the second time. WITH DELIVERY ON MY BIRTHDAY 10/12!!! We shall see if this “shipped” sticks or not. (grin).
@Kidsandliz My birthday is October 16th-hoping mine was coming on that day-but its coming this Friday. Don’t worry scheduled for a colonoscopy on my birthday.
Candy Corn!! In time for Halloween!
@eeterrific aww shucks
Mine shipped today. Expected Delivery is 10/13… Friday the 13th… That being said normally it’s a few days before. Like I ordered the “bundle” and it shipped 10/3 and the deliver estimate is 10/10, but from where it’s at now, I expect to see the bundle on Saturday, or at least a day early on Monday. So I’ll probably get my Fuko on Wednesday or Thursday.
Mine shipped today with delivery scheduled for Saturday 10/14. So far it has a placeholder weight and dimension. Disappointment awaits.
Mine’s scheduled to arrive the 13th (my birthday), but they often come one day earlier than expected for me. I’m excited even though I know I shouldn’t be.
@Pantheist Hey my birthday is the day before yours… what used to be columbus day.
@Kidsandliz Good time to be born Happy early birthday!
@Kidsandliz happy early birthday !
@Pantheist happy early birthday to you too!
Mine is 10/13 with placeholder dimensions. 8 days to get from Hutchins, TX to Birmingham, AL… A trip that would take less than 10 hrs by car.
@theporschephile maybe it is going by pony express?
@AttyVette nah - they’ve strapped it on the back of a squirrel.
@Kidsandliz umm that’s a squirrely thing for meh to do
Mine has shipped Thursday and shows scheduled for delivery next Wednesday October 11-but I am in Round Rock so I don’t get to be excited -ER disappointed opening the surprises waiting inside the box . So I will ask spouse to open it for me as I am living ( existing) in a Fena hotel with dad since he lost his car and their home flooded in Harvey devesatation. Moms in assisted living up here and I am currently dad”s chauffeur. #needsomethingtosmileabout
Delivery scheduled for 10/10, weight 2.2lbs; size 16x12x10. Will need to schedule Meh-opening video call with @norman8 once delivery is made. Facebook live anyone?
@hollycrisson that would be funny or embarrassing depends upon Meh items
Looks like I’ll be getting mine on Tuesday (due to Columbus Day being Monday)
It hit a hub, but it still shows placeholder weight and size. So we’ll see if that holds. Might do another live unboxing of it.
@BillLehecka Just got to a hub that does measure: 3.5lbs 13x13x13 box. Ugh.
3.2 pounds. Pretty meh indeed.
My 2.2 pounder grew to 4.9 pounds some time throughout the day! I should have it Tuesday…
Mine is now 4 pounds and 14x11x10 in. Will be here Monday/Tuesday.
14x11x11 and 6.1 pounds.
/giphy 2.2 lbs
Mine seems to have been compressed almost in half between Hutchins FedEx and smartpost Dallas. It’s now 12x10x9, still 2.2lbs.
I’ll be at a conference next week so won’t get to open it until the weekend.
@djslack Mine is stalled out in Memphis… but then it is likely to be stalled for a while because it will take it 5 more days to go the remaining 4 hour car drive - to arrive on my birthday. Mine is still placeholder size.
It’s in town. Damn you Christopher Colombus- you added a day to the delivery.
@sammydog01 That Christopher Columbus has been nothing but a big troublemaker ever since he sailed in.
@therealjrn Charlottesville, VA celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day. So can we blame them instead?
@sammydog01 Why not? Our Tulsa City Council is celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day too. I don’t know how many Tulsans are on board, probably a lot, we are in the Territories after all.
It’s coming Tuesday.
4.8 pounds.
SHIPPED!!!
It weighs something and is in a box of some dimensison!
@Ignorant Yay!
@Ignorant
Sorry to read that.
Still placeholder size, but it’s in New Jersey now. Somehow, it’ll take a week for it to get to me in New York City.
Mine has had its sorry box butt parked in Memphis since Friday early evening… no movement since then.
Mine still has placeholder dimensions, despite being on its final leg to my city
Dimensions of box changed to 17x 15x 14 but weight of 2.2 lbs. stayed the same. Yay! Extra room for more bags of air!!
17x14x14 and 5.1#…the anti-suspense builds…
Lots of changes today. Looks like my package will deliver a day early (Wednesday) the weight updated to 4.4 lbs and the dims are now 18x15x14.
So I know it is not a pallet of vibrators I wonder what it is…
Woo Hoo! Updated to 17x14x14 in. and 5.1 lbs. It’s still in OLATHE, KS though.
@therealjrn me too! 5.6 pounds now
updated to 17x15x15 and 3.6 pounds
Well I spoke too soon. Apparently it left Ellenwood, GA last night around 7PM and arrived back in Ellenwood, GA today at 6PM… During its tour of the city, my package grew in size to 17x15x14. However, like all law-abiding citizens, it conserved its mass.
@theporschephile I used to live in Ellenwood!!
@mehbee I’m actually in Birmingham, AL, no idea why it decided to tour Ellenwood. But it is on its way to my door today, two days earlier than initially scheduled, so I’m happy. It got a fun tour of a random city in Georgia, I get my random stuff two days early. That’s a win-win if I’ve ever seen one.
@theporschephile So kind of you to call Ellenwood a city…lol…mine was supposed to be delivered tomorrow but is now saying that it’s being delivered today, not that I’m holding my breath. Nate came through and poured a bunch more rain in my yard which ran down my driveway and put some in ruts which will cause anyone except my main mail lady to run the other way. However my dogs are freaking out right now, so maybe someone is outside delivering me some happy, happy right this minute. I’m going to run and check! Congrats on your day early delivery and your well traveled, and therefore more sophisticated, Fuku(o?).
@mehbee Well? Don’t keep the news to yourself. It’s been five minutes since you posted that.
@OldCatLady Nothing at the front door, so I’ll have to go down the driveway when I get a chance to see if they left it there. There was probably a deer in the yard that made the dogs bark. Most likely there is a “pick it up at the post office tomorrow” note. I did get one package, a new shirt that I ordered so the day is not a total loss. If I get lucky and it’s actually here, I’ll let you know.
@mehbee I got a pick it up at the post office notice today…
@Kidsandliz I got nothin’, nothin’. nothin’
@mehbee On the "17-arrival " thread, with pictures, please.
@OldCatLady I will when I get it.
mine is small now… so small
12x10x9
1.4 lbs
Only 1 bag of candy corn I guess.
Fedex has made it go further away from me. This will help keep me from knowing too soon, and increase the chances that my candy corn unites.
/giphy tiny
Mine is now 14x11x10 and 2.1 lbs (down from 16x12x10 and 2.2 lbs - it lost a tenth of a pound in those 380 square inches!) It’s also now in Edison, which is a little further from NYC than Woodbridge Township, though it also claims it’ll get here by Thursday.
Oohhh USPS THINK they will be delivering my box today, another day shaved off total time in transit. So much better than MEH
Updated from placeholder to 14x11x11 and 1.9 lbs.
Never knew they made Roombas that light. What a time to be alive…
Updated to 16x12x11 in. and 6.3 lbs…That’s a lot of Candy Corn…
@tugnutt I know-mine was just updated to 6 pounds-let’s see how many bags of candy corn is that.
g-dammit. FedEx driver decided to not leave the box at the door (they usually do when I am not home, no issue) so now I have to wait… another day waiting is torture.
@hollycrisson Wasnt it shipped smartpost? USPS should be in charge of the final leg.
@therealjrn
Sometimes FedEx cuts out USPS.
UPS does the same thing with their joint shipping method with USPS.
@mflassy Whatever. Just trying to help.
/shug
@therealjrn hey, when it comes to delivery logistics, I appreciate all help, advice, bon mots, whatever. But, the tracking code did show it’s in FedEx’s hands and was excepted yesterday. Total BS but whatever. On truck to arrive today! Hilarity shall ensue!
Updated to 14x11x10 and 1.9 lbs. Feeling cautiously pessimistic.
Mine now says delivered! Two full days earlier than originally scheduled. Now to find an excuse to duck out of work early to go save Meh box from the rainy wet porch!
Mine just arrived! 2.2 lbs of candy corn here I come!
Got mine!

Oh cool. Mine is supposed to be delivered one day early!! That just changed today. It is in town and they didn’t try to deliver it today (sigh).
My delivery date changed to Friday the 13th and the package now weighs 6.1 lbs and is 17x15x14 in. I guess it will be a slightly larger disappointment than when it was the placeholder weight. Certainly not the Roomba I was seeking.
Apparently my 1.4 pound package is so light it keeps blowing around trying to find it’s way to NY.
It made from
TX -> KY -> OH ok, but then
PA, back to
OH, back to
PA.
Scheduled for Sat delivery to my work, so I’m gonna have to wait 'til Monday it looks like.
/giphy hurry
Out for delivery a day early. I’m so thrilled.
/giphy stoked
Mine was originally scheduled for Saturday. Handed off to USPS and getting delivered tomorrow. Upstate NY.
mine is pretty meh
@mypiesarepiff Post your pic on the reveal thread too
