Fuku Box 2 Delivery Blunder & Boogaloo
6Most of you have seen the comics that we included in the Fukubukuro bags letting people know they had another box of something coming.
Unfortunately one of these second boxes is coming back undeliverable because we aren't getting a response to schedule a delivery after trying multiple times.
Before you ask why we only picked a few people to be eligible for this, it's about the large cost of shipping this thing. Since we already paid for the box to be delivered somewhere, we have to pick someone in that same area so it doesn't have to travel far which would cost us a lot of money. That would lead to speaker docks being sold multiple times a week since everyone keeps buying them.
We found these people that backed the Kickstarter within a short radius of where the box was going to be shipped:
@Mrgill3 @Kelley @Erica @Baowulf @neilmanley @pib @qdmanx @CeeEmBee
Whichever one of you responds in this thread first will get the box. If none of you respond by 6pm EST, we'll choose one of you at random.
So for everyone's sake pls respond when we try to send you stuff or it could be given away to someone else.

@JonT I've got a truck with a lift gate where do I need to be?
Bummer.
Oh hey, I guess I'll take it :D
All yours! Keep an eye out for an email from us soon.
@pib make sure you check your spam folder too. You've got an email waiting from us for more info.
Tick tock @pib. You probably don't want to pass this up...or you might. I don't know you.
Got it and responded...
Aw, sadness. Maybe they're out of town or something.
I'd like it, but it would help if i read the post and email correctly.
Aww man! I get to be passed up twice. Guess I'll just drink tears from my Fozzy mug...
(Seriously, who the hell doesn't follow up on a note like that?!?!?)
Why doesn't anything good ever happen in Florida?
I mean...zombies and meth are ok.
they try to save up all the good so they can put it in orange juice.
Oranges maaaan. Oranges.
Me and my "other thing" are in Florida. That's good. Sort of.
I'm in Florida and got a note. Got the email asking for # last week so now just waiting on a phone call!
Yeah, see actually the problem with that list of names is that none of those are my name.
You were also late double dukes for you.
@starblind I'll send you a really heavy box if you'd like
Note: It may or may not contain animals or other, unspecified living creatures and/or lab experiments
I'm imagining the big big gumball machine but with eyeballs instead of gumballs.
Or a box of rocks and spiders
If UPS shakes the box, it will be a box of rocks and flattened spiders
I'd have to send it via courier pigeons
@lou_s or angry spiders wielding rocks. That's terrifying.
I am NOT any of those people. However, I do have one thing going for me that they do not: a legitimate mailing address and a rapid response to email. Two things. And I like getting stuff in the mail. Three things. Three is a magical number, so... you know... There you have it.
Lucky!
Ahhhhh Its @marklog fault that I don't live closer....CURSE YOU @marklog
If you want to see what @pib's extra thing turned out to be, I suggest reading this: https://meh.com/forum/topics/fukubukuro#53e0e2a1f90e8f4c09e1e86c
Damn! That's some nice second-chance swag! It must not be the fault of @marklog.
too much meh on that link....wouldn't stop mehing
OMG you guys HAVE to get pages in these threads. That thread is STILL loading.
I'm generally a fan of the single page format, but, when you have over a hundred posts with pictures... maybe use pages when you get over 100 replies? Or some other very high number. Not 15 or 20 like some crappy websites that want lots of pageviews.
For future reference, let's just assume that I live near everyone else, thus making me eligible for all second-chance prizes :)
We have evidence to suggest otherwise. Quit trying to cheat the system @marklog.
Hey, I'll take the blame but I don't think we should resort to using me as an epithet. You flaming @mehcus.
It's been a week since I got the email asking for my phone number to schedule delivery. This suspense is killing me!
@bingo o?
THO SUSPONSO IS KILLING MO
I was gonna suggest THX but don't want the copyright infringement issues that would surely follow.
THIS PRETZEL IS MAKING ME THIRSTY (note: i was never any good at this game)
Finally got the call from FedEx Freight. 1 carton, 200 pounds. Good God. I've been saying mine will be a box of rocks. That's a lotta rocks.
@Bingo: My freight bill said 225 lbs. It was no where near that.
