Love it! Same details here. (So, "We could try harder" applies to the Yankees too?) (I'm not a baseball person.) (Well, I knew they were a baseball team, right?)
@djugurba Makes this even more interesting because I haven't ordered anything else so I wonder what that UPS shipment is. I do have two coming from Fedex but they were for items ordered prior to the FUKU.
@djugurba@KDemo I was hoping for a live goat. Tried to get one at the store but they were sold out at the time. My Ex's parents wanted a goat but all I could give them was the FUKU supplies I got but no goat.
Same - label created, but not shipped out yet. Of little interest, however, is "Reference: SO-0085XXX". It clues in on how many orders Meh has overall.
Same as above, 3lb and still in the Label Created stage. Heres to hoping they go out before Monday! (Please tell me SmartPost ships on Saturdays?!) I got a reference in the high 0084xxxs..
@kadagan Too much information, so folks could use it to divert packages or something? I dunno, but it's something that Woot mods would regularly redact in the posts.
The dictionary order "numbers" don't easily correlate to the shipping, hence it's not as big of a deal.
@dashcloud I just avoided the threads last time; I missed out on #2. I also never commented on how the crayons came all melted from #1, which made a nice waxy mess.
My order is "Placed." So apparently I'm getting a location analytics company? Way to ruin the surprise on the order page...though I'm not sure how they're going to ship the whole company. Stock certificates? Cryo-stasis tubes for the employees?
A public service announcement for first time fukers, so this post won't be totally content free: When you first click on a SmartPost tracking number, it will show a FedEx and a USPS link. That's because SmartPost packages go cross country via FedEx, and are handed off to USPS for final delivery. It is just two links for one package. The USPS link won't work until the FedEx tracking shows that the information has been sent to USPS.
This is confusing because a very few people have gotten more than one package in previous fukus. Every time, a few people read posts from those folks, and they get all excited. Keep your expectations set at "meh" even if you are getting two packages. The second one might just be some goat food.
I've got my 3 lb placeholder and anxiously await further developments... Now I'll be stalking the FedEx site a jillion times a day. I really need to get a life.
@TBoneZeOriginal mines 3 lbs and 10x10x10 too, guessing it's a placeholder. Mine's also scheduled to get here a day after I leave for thanksgiving, but I have a PO box, so maybe I'll be lucky and it will get here early.
@Mavyn Yea I was trying for about 30 minutes then checked my orders and realized one of my attempts had gone through 20 minutes earlier... I had gotten an error screen earlier.
Estimated Friday arrival, which could mean Thursday since I'm not that far away from the regional SnailPost distribution center and the packages usually get from there to the local post office within a half a day.
@narfcake I am a bit envious of those of you who get to track your fukus from city to city. Watching mine go from Carrollton to Carrollton is not all that interesting. Though, knowing where Meh, FedEx, and the post office are, I suppose I could just count the number of times it passes by me without stopping
@Kleineleh It's SnailPost - it's just a matter of time before one of your packages takes a scenic trip. I've had packages originate 35 miles away and still take 3 days to get here.
Meh had the nerve to put it up a night I wasn't feeling well. Then again, I never posted what I got in my last one. I think I got one nice thing, but I have to read the instructions to figure it out. (I'm old)
Meh stop doing this stuff when I don't have time to pay attention!!!
3lb 10x10x10. Estimated delivery to Portland, OR Tuesday 11/25. Says it has already "Departed FedEx Location" so wouldn't they have updated the info from placeholder stats by then?
Oh hey, at some point in the last half-hour my status changed from "placed" to "shipped!" Of course, then FedEx says "tracking number not found," but progress is progressing!
@TBoneZeOriginal of the original 2: 1 was perfect the other worked for 1 movie and the next morning had lines through the top 3rd of the screen. 1st replacement had green shadows/weird looking screen. 2nd replacement has a nickel sized shadow near the bottom edge. I'm just tired of setting up and tearing down TVs at this point
@chellemonkey Was customer support easy to deal with? You never know with these Chinese companies. I do have one little concern with my TV, so I may call soon.
Still have no tracking number on mine yet, just stuck in "Placed" limbo waiting for any progress. Good to see some of you have bags on the way though. Can't wait to see what Meh bestowed upon us all.
I'm gonna make an unboxing video. I like making videos. Hey Meh, why don't you sell me a Canon 70D so I can make even better videos? The T5i you sold was great, but I think you deserve better.
I'm still in 'Placed' mode. Maybe the plan was to send me a few hundred Turtle Beach MW3 headsets? Alas, that's no longer an option thanks to a little, uh, situation.
@djames85 that's funny I grew up in ne Ohio. My fuku is coming to central Ohio though. Must be on a different truck because it has yet to update from "departed fedex location in tx"
@chellemonkey@djames85 Nice to see some other ohioans. don't you guys know that nw ohio is where it's @! ...no?...it's at least where i'm at...well..."west central ohio" if you belive the local Media... anyway my fuku should be here to Lima on monday, 12x10x9, 2.3lbs
Took 3 states for it to get real values, 14x11x10 in, 1.8lbs. Seems pretty light for its size, but I get to wait a week and another half a dozen states to find out if that's good or bad.
I haven't looked at mine...a certain part of me feels like it would be the same as peeking at your Christmas presents....sucking the joy right out of opening them
@studerc Originally, they thought the delay was your fault. Then they thought it was @thumperchick. In the end, it's been deemed that it's actually @cengland0's fault
@axleman1011 That had occurred to me. Upon further deliberation I've decided it's worth it. My dishwasher is worthless, but I'm sure I could get it clean without too much hassle.
@TBoneZeOriginal says the one with "bone" in your name! Teeheehee...snort. Not sure on the weight. Dimensions were 10x13x5. My tracking never changed from the placeholder.
No surprise, it looks like the northeast can expect shipping delays:
Last updated November 19, 2014 The winter storm that brought hazardous conditions across the northeastern U.S. earlier is still leaving difficult conditions and continues to affect FedEx operations. Unavoidable service delays should be expected due to local road conditions. FedEx is committed to providing service to the best of our ability in areas affected by the storm and as local conditions allow. We will continue to monitor the situation to minimize the impact on service. Please continue to check FedEx Service Alerts for updates. @cengland0, we know who really deserves the blame, don't we?
@KDemo I get the message "A winter storm is causing potential delays and disruptions in the northeastern U.S." and my package isn't due until 11/26. Man, that's longer than what anyone else has reported and I live in the South East -- way far from any storm.
15 x 10 x 6, 5.4 lbs. It is like a birth announcement! Whatever it is must be dense and short, as that's a pretty flat box. My first fuku from ANY deal a day site, and I will be watching for the mailman with binoculars.
@milujite Same here. Mine is currently in some teeny tiny Illinois town. I have never seen a package have a layover in New Douglas, IL on its way to Chicago.
@bruceoite Packages seem to be taking circuitous routes this time around. Mine is taking an extended sojourn in Joplin, MO on its way to Northern IL. Haven't see that before.
@boba1213 Yea, the New Berlin, WI stop is a time honored tradition with FedEx smartpost. Some liken it to the Klingon Age of Ascension ritual where the package is subjected to the cruel beatings of the United States Postal Service.
Mine hit the allentown morphing station today- 14x11x11 and 3.4 pounds. Estimated delivery pushed back till tuesday, so I probably won't get to open it until after thanksgiving.
@hart Thanks for checking, but yes, I did. This account, as it says, is a Self Imposed Meh Buying Moratorium. Permanent like. My other account? Yeah, I use it to buy. It's also a kickstarter backer and a VMP. Should I shoot you my other account name?
@hart Fort Bridger, WY, to be more specific. There ain't nothing there. My guess is that they shipped it up I-35 to I-70 to I-25 to I-80, and it'll stay on I-80 all the way to the SF bay area.
Mine got its shipping label on Tuesday, and nothing has happened since then. Worrying about the implications, especially since the cutting boards already have a size/weight and are due here Friday. As a longtime Woot customer, I remember a shrink-wrapped pallet of dented electronics, lots of left-handed golf clubs, etc. OTOH, once they sent me a brand new TV, and I still have the Letter from ThreePieceWoot somewhere. Back to F5ing the tracking screen.
Mine is less than 10 miles away, at the FedEx SmartPost office. It has to go to my post office next. Should get to my house on Monday. 1.9 lbs, 13x10x6 inches.
According to FedEx, mine is at a FedEx location 30ish miles from here (arrived Friday evening), but still won't be delivered until Tuesday??? (Previously listed as Monday).
I'm even more curious as it is listed as 15x11x10 and 7.2 lbs. I haven't seen anyone else list an identical package yet.
Hmm, I've had a tracking number for a few days now and it's been marked as shipped but there's absolutely no info showing on either FedEx or USPS. Am I just in limbo or should I be scared?!
Mine should be here tomorrow- USPS has it now. I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up too high. Seeing people getting Galaxy tablets and Kindle Fires makes that difficult, though! I'd be so thrilled to get either of those.
@Pony I haven't been watching the other thread (although it has been killing me to not look as the number of posts get higher and higher) Mine should arrive today or tomorrow
@chellemonkey Yeah, I was going to stay away from it too. But I couldn't resist either. I figured I'd either get my hopes way up or be thoroughly prepared for the mehness.
@Cinoclav@Pony I got a bag of crap twice. Once I stalked the thread watching what everyone else received and when I pulled things out of the box it was like ok I know what that is and just sat it aside. The other time I was surprised and I had to examine each item as I pulled it out of the box to determine what it was. It made it waaaay more fun to be surprised even if it was just junk.
@chellemonkey If I counted correctly, I've had a total of 14 bags of crap over the last 5 years. I'd say 98% of the stuff has been similar to what others have received. The crap that wasn't the same was mostly just more crap. I know I had mentioned in another thread that the recent woot anniversary craps had a few better items, such as the self winding Timex I got that retailed for $185. Overall though, I think I was more pleased (I mean thoroughly disappointed) with my first Fuku.
@chellemonkey It's always fun to be surprised, but knowing there could always be something different in there made it acceptable to see what everyone else had received. It wasn't like I was expecting a 55" tv because everyone else got one.
@DJP519 The tracking number assigned to my order by Meh never updated with FedEx. It never went past "A label has been created". If you create an account on Fedex's website, you can set alerts and track any shipment to your address under your name. That's where I was able to find the ACTUAL tracking number to my Fuku, which wasn't even SmartPost -- it was FedEx ground. Start here: https://www.fedex.com/fedextracking/?cntry_code=us&action=custdeliveryoptions
@capguncowboy Thanks, I am already signed up there. But now that you mention it, I DO have a "mystery" package coming from Texas. I was guessing it was the Mediocre t-shirt order, but maybe it's really the Fuku, with a different tracking number? Guess I'll find out in a few days when it arrives.
@capguncowboy Lol - How's this for timing... my gf just sent me a picture of a box that got delivered today. The Dept. line on the label says Fuku. Guess the tracking # was wrong. Used the one on the label picture and it says 17 x 16 x 16 at 3 lbs. No idea if that's correct. She'd better wait to open it...
@DJP519 Mine is stuck at that step also. I asked Meh for halp, and Marcus told me 'Don’t worry, Fuku’s come in all shapes and sizes and all kinds of random times.' A very Zen reply.
@rileyper your FUKU was sent via Ground using a completely different 10 digit tracking number - the tracking number on your order was never actually used. Mine was the same way.
@capguncowboy Thanks for the reminder about tracking alerts. I do indeed have incoming, not on the tracking number on my order. It's 20x20x11, 3 lbs. Whew.
Love it! Same details here. (So, "We could try harder" applies to the Yankees too?) (I'm not a baseball person.) (Well, I knew they were a baseball team, right?)
The tracking number is there on their site but when I click on the link, I get an error message:
Guess I'll have to wait later than everyone else before I get any additional info.
@cengland0 I think smart post is FedEx tracking. UPS isn't ever going to find more information.
@djugurba Makes this even more interesting because I haven't ordered anything else so I wonder what that UPS shipment is. I do have two coming from Fedex but they were for items ordered prior to the FUKU.
@cengland0 - Yours must be special. What could follow goat supplies, um . . . ewe poo?
@cengland0 yeah, a subscription to Goat Aficionado, I'd guess.
@djugurba @KDemo I was hoping for a live goat. Tried to get one at the store but they were sold out at the time. My Ex's parents wanted a goat but all I could give them was the FUKU supplies I got but no goat.
@cengland0 - Maybe UPS is a good thing then. Smart Post would spell doom for a live goat. (It would smart for sure).
Mine is simply still placed.
Placed where no one knows, but I have some guesses.
Last to ship , last to flip,
the trash bin at the Meh Ship.
Same - label created, but not shipped out yet. Of little interest, however, is "Reference: SO-0085XXX". It clues in on how many orders Meh has overall.
I don't even have a label yet - no tracking information posted to my order - that column isn't even there yet.
Well finally a shipping label created about an hour ago… perhaps arrival in 2015?
Same as above, 3lb and still in the Label Created stage. Heres to hoping they go out before Monday! (Please tell me SmartPost ships on Saturdays?!) I got a reference in the high 0084xxxs..
Mine was created too.. 3 lb's.. Is there a reason I shouldn't give my whole reference number on here? it's an 00854XX number
@kadagan Too much information, so folks could use it to divert packages or something? I dunno, but it's something that Woot mods would regularly redact in the posts.
The dictionary order "numbers" don't easily correlate to the shipping, hence it's not as big of a deal.
3 lbs here with just a label created too. I wonder if the weights will get more varied after they actually go into transit
@Pantheist They did last time.
@Kidsandliz Awesome, that's what I was hoping :)
Remember last time, everyone had a three pound box and once it shipped, it changed. Mine went from three to eleven pounds while in transit.
That's because the fukus make baby fukus in the shipping boxes from meh. (I've been taking notes.)
Why would you torment the fuku-less like this?!?
@dashcloud I just avoided the threads last time; I missed out on #2. I also never commented on how the crayons came all melted from #1, which made a nice waxy mess.
@narfcake Melted crayons can be art. Rather meh art, but still art. Barney will want to know. Was one of the crayons purple?
@hamjudo I love purple.
No tracking number yet, still basking in the post-fuku afterglow.
Label created, 3 pounds.
My order is "Placed." So apparently I'm getting a location analytics company? Way to ruin the surprise on the order page...though I'm not sure how they're going to ship the whole company. Stock certificates? Cryo-stasis tubes for the employees?
Placed, no tracking number yet.
A public service announcement for first time fukers, so this post won't be totally content free: When you first click on a SmartPost tracking number, it will show a FedEx and a USPS link. That's because SmartPost packages go cross country via FedEx, and are handed off to USPS for final delivery. It is just two links for one package.

Status: Shipped.
Weight: 3 lb placeholder.
Expectations: Low.
@jsh139 anticipation: High.
Mine says it's 117lbs and being shipped railway freight?
Nevermind, false alarm, that was my order from Adam & Eve. Got my tracking codes mixed up.
@Starblind I'm curious and a little alarmed...
@Starblind did someone get themselves a life size "action figure"
@Starblind Isn't that how much 55 gallon drums of lube weigh?
@Starblind The complete Ron Jeremy works on Cassette, Laserdisc, DVD and Blu-Ray?
I've got my 3 lb placeholder and anxiously await further developments... Now I'll be stalking the FedEx site a jillion times a day. I really need to get a life.
3lb shipping label as well. Also says 1 piece, but I believe past Fukus with multiple boxes came in separate shipments, so this all means nothing.
Mine updated today with a delivery date (Saturday, 11/22).. But still has the placeholder weight, and a 10x10x10 placeholder size.
@kadagan same here.
@kadagan Ditto
Mine just updated with a delivery date of 11/24.
Still have the 10x10x10 and 3lbs placeholder.
I ordered a Fukubukuro and all I got was a crappy pair of Razer Tiamat headphones.
mine still just says "placed"
@earlyre Same here
@earlyre Ditto.
@earlyre Now changed to "Shipped", but fed ex just says a label was printed.
@earlyre ditto. plus it tells me it is 3lbs
@earlyre yeah me too. At least there is evidence of life in the shipping department.
@earlyre should be here Monday, 12x10x9 2.3lbs
in transit. estimated delivery of 11/24. still 3lbs/10x10x10 placeholder. and here's a random superhero:
@carl669 Are you sure this is a super hero? He looks like a bad guy from Power Rangers when I was a kid
@chellemonkey it's Spectreman. it's also an awesome theme song:
In transit with an expected delivery of 11/22. Which sucks because it's being sent to my workplace and we're closed on Saturday.
It's 3lbs and 10x10x10, which I have to assume is a placeholder since not a single person so far has said anything otherwise.
@TBoneZeOriginal mines 3 lbs and 10x10x10 too, guessing it's a placeholder. Mine's also scheduled to get here a day after I leave for thanksgiving, but I have a PO box, so maybe I'll be lucky and it will get here early.
Ok...I looked in my order history, it shows an order placed for a fuku. I did get one, I guess? YAY ME!!!!
@Mavyn Yea I was trying for about 30 minutes then checked my orders and realized one of my attempts had gone through 20 minutes earlier... I had gotten an error screen earlier.
@Gurkie At least it's not just me! Whew.
And now it's showing shipped, delivery on Friday. yippee.!
Estimated Friday arrival, which could mean Thursday since I'm not that far away from the regional SnailPost distribution center and the packages usually get from there to the local post office within a half a day.
Still at 3#, 10x10x10.
It's one city over now! Still 3#, but the box grew to 14x11x10.
@narfcake I am a bit envious of those of you who get to track your fukus from city to city. Watching mine go from Carrollton to Carrollton is not all that interesting. Though, knowing where Meh, FedEx, and the post office are, I suppose I could just count the number of times it passes by me without stopping
@Kleineleh It's SnailPost - it's just a matter of time before one of your packages takes a scenic trip. I've had packages originate 35 miles away and still take 3 days to get here.
Left FedEx's distribution center an hour ago to my local post office for distribution, so it looks like mine will be here tomorrow afterall.
2lbs 14x11x10in
Seems a lot smaller then fuku 2, I'm still super excited though!
@axleman1011
Am i the only one with actual dimensions?
@axleman1011 My order number includes the word pocket so I assume that my whole fuku will fit inside one.
@chellemonkey ruh-roh mine includes the word building... Hmm I do have a decent sized house. @axleman1011 I still have no dimensions or weight...
@chellemonkey @Gurkie by that logic i'll be getting a 2lb box of spoons.
@axleman1011 No, no, no your entire fuku will fit in a spoon. Gold dust perhaps?
@chellemonkey or just garden variety dust with instructions on how to order a roomba
@Kidsandliz Oooh, yes that is much more meh!
@Kidsandliz Jokes on them, i ordered a neato months ago!
Good luck guys!
Meh had the nerve to put it up a night I wasn't feeling well. Then again, I never posted what I got in my last one. I think I got one nice thing, but I have to read the instructions to figure it out. (I'm old)
Meh stop doing this stuff when I don't have time to pay attention!!!
//shake fist at meh
@smilingjack "shake fist at meh" is not going to work as an order number. Try "steal me fuku"
@Kidsandliz shaking-angry-fist might work as an order number
I don't have any shipping information yet. Hopefully it updates soon!
3lb 10x10x10. Estimated delivery to Portland, OR Tuesday 11/25. Says it has already "Departed FedEx Location" so wouldn't they have updated the info from placeholder stats by then?
Oh hey, at some point in the last half-hour my status changed from "placed" to "shipped!" Of course, then FedEx says "tracking number not found," but progress is progressing!
Departed Dallas, finally. Still has 3 lb placeholder weight and 10 inches³ dimensions.
Not sure how you did it but I'm excited to see how you fit a 60" TV into a 10"x10"x10" box. Hope it still works.
@nacheen With all the troubles I had with my 39" emerson in a TV sized box I wouldn't count on it, eh @hollboll?
@nacheen probably it's an origami TV
@chellemonkey gets it.
@nacheen It's surprisingly easy to fit a 60" TV in a 10x10x10 box. The hard part is putting it back together again.
@chellemonkey What problems have you had? Mine has been working just fine!
@TBoneZeOriginal of the original 2: 1 was perfect the other worked for 1 movie and the next morning had lines through the top 3rd of the screen. 1st replacement had green shadows/weird looking screen. 2nd replacement has a nickel sized shadow near the bottom edge. I'm just tired of setting up and tearing down TVs at this point
@chellemonkey Was customer support easy to deal with? You never know with these Chinese companies. I do have one little concern with my TV, so I may call soon.
@TBoneZeOriginal they said "it has been less than 30 days since you got it. Talk to meh." But meh support is AWESOME!!
@chellemonkey Say what now? Meh told me that the first 90 days was through Funai and Meh could only help me AFTER that.
Still have no tracking number on mine yet, just stuck in "Placed" limbo waiting for any progress. Good to see some of you have bags on the way though. Can't wait to see what Meh bestowed upon us all.
I'm gonna make an unboxing video. I like making videos. Hey Meh, why don't you sell me a Canon 70D so I can make even better videos? The T5i you sold was great, but I think you deserve better.
In transit
Estimated delivery :
Mon 11/24/2014
Wooo hoo!
Friday delivery. Still seeing the 10x10x10 3lb placeholder.
Mine is also 3lbs at 10X10X10
Same placeholder. Watching it like a hawk, though. A hawk with OCD.
@abitterwoman Watching it like a hawk with OCD and access to the internet
@DaveInSoCal LOL!
3lbs. Label printed, but not shipped.
3 lbs.
10x10x10
Estimated Delivery: Thursday, 11/20.
Guess that's a plus of being a couple miles from Mediocrity.
Mine just updated to 20x18x11 and 9.2 lbs.. Bigger than my last one.. Is that good or bad? Haha
@kadagan bigger is better right?
@axleman1011 More room for speaker docks, amirite?
@chaoscatapult ALL THE SPEAKER DOCKS
I'm still in 'Placed' mode. Maybe the plan was to send me a few hundred Turtle Beach MW3 headsets? Alas, that's no longer an option thanks to a little, uh, situation.
Shipped - estimated arrival 11/24 - default weight and dimensions
@djames85 Mine too. pout I have to wait through a whole weekend
@chellemonkey mine updated - 6.4lbs 14x11x10 - sitting in KC waiting to go to NE Ohio
@djames85 that's funny I grew up in ne Ohio. My fuku is coming to central Ohio though. Must be on a different truck because it has yet to update from "departed fedex location in tx"
@chellemonkey @djames85 Nice to see some other ohioans. don't you guys know that nw ohio is where it's @! ...no?...it's at least where i'm at...well..."west central ohio" if you belive the local Media... anyway my fuku should be here to Lima on monday, 12x10x9, 2.3lbs
Mine is still at the label printed stage, with a 3lb place holder.
14x11x10 in.
3lbs
I wonder what it'll beeeeeeeee
Mine still isn't showing any shipping info.
I bet they're waiting until all the other boxes have shipped so they can be sure that all of the broken stuff only goes into my box.
They wouldn't want to spread around any disappointment, now would they?
updated to 14x11x10 - 6.1 lbs. i think that's only 2 speaker docks at the most. whew.
Took 3 states for it to get real values, 14x11x10 in, 1.8lbs.
Seems pretty light for its size, but I get to wait a week and another half a dozen states to find out if that's good or bad.
Are they 3D Printing my label? Because it's still hasn't shipped. Will I get it before Thanksgiving?
@BillLehecka Maybe you're going to get a box of broken left-over items like me. Mine hasn't updated with anything yet either
13x10x6, 1.8 lbs. Should get it by tomorrow.
my 3lb 10x10x10 is supposed to arrive Saturday. Well see!
I got my Fuku today! It sucked!
@phatmass pics or it didn't happen
Fukubukuro bag
Leak frog
Headphone jack splitter
Creepy coffee cup
2-Pac shot glass (no pun intended)
@phatmass well i guess it happened, thank you sir
@axleman1011 This is one of those that remind me, it's not about the destination, it's about how you get there.
@phatmass That spider cup is just mean.
@phatmass so, were was the actual dimensions and weight?
@Pantheist I don't know.
@phatmass Woohoo! All hail the Leak Frog!
@phatmass OMG a leak frog
An elusive leak frog has been spotted in the wild. And you don't get much wilder than @phatmass.
@phatmass I had not seen your pic before I posted mine...we arranged our items in the same manner...creepy, eh? meh.
@phatmass I'd be happy with a leak frog, I have a strange affinity for things that look like other things.
@phatmass Also, I've seen those glasses before, they come in a set of four shots
@Kleineleh shooter set.... too soon
@TheAlmighty1 The kicker is just how many people approved this packaging before it wound up on the store shelf
I haven't looked at mine...a certain part of me feels like it would be the same as peeking at your Christmas presents....sucking the joy right out of opening them
10.7 lbs, 20x18x11. Estimated to arrive here in the Paris of the Plains on Friday.
I have my fingers crossed for goat minerals.
Psssttt.... @JonT I'm a thinking an official reveal thread is in order. Don't you think? While you are at it, I'm still waiting on that goat prize...
@studerc Originally, they thought the delay was your fault. Then they thought it was @thumperchick. In the end, it's been deemed that it's actually @cengland0's fault
I had posted in the other thread not realizing this one existed...
Red fuku bag
Universal usb charging cable
Creepy Cups spider mug (no thank you!)
Stainless steel flask
Leak Frog!
My dimensions never changed from the placeholder. The box measured approx 10 x 13 x 5. Not sure about the weight. It was light.
@bolashoof I like that mug. I hope I get one in mine.
@milujite Honestly it looks like a pain in the ass just to clean it...
@axleman1011 a dishwasher would clean it just fine
@axleman1011 That had occurred to me. Upon further deliberation I've decided it's worth it. My dishwasher is worthless, but I'm sure I could get it clean without too much hassle.
@milujite if you don't, let me know. You can have mine.
@bolashoof What was your weight and package size (the box, not your junk, pervert)
@capguncowboy @milujite well arn't you fancy with your "new-age automatronic dishy washy machines"
@TBoneZeOriginal says the one with "bone" in your name! Teeheehee...snort. Not sure on the weight. Dimensions were 10x13x5. My tracking never changed from the placeholder.
@bolashoof Skip to 3:43... hopefully it inspires you to use the flask
@axleman1011 It's more of a fancy new-age dish drying rack. I have to hand-wash the dishes if I want them to actually be clean.
@bolashoof I love that mug.
Mine says expected delivery tomorrow. Still with placeholder dimensions
It's here! Smaller than the last box. I'll update the other thread once I get it opened.
Mine is updated too
20x11x10 and 10.6lbs.
It must be a speaker dock in the box
6.6lbs and 14x11x10
My last one was 5.9lbs and 15x15x10. So my theory is that heavier and smaller is better! Right? Guys?
@TBoneZeOriginal Gold is small and heavy. Just pointing that out just in case..
Mine is 14X11X10 and 2.3 lbs
Placeholder 10x10x10, 3 lbs, due 11/25. Per earlier recommendations from a Meh rep, I'm tapping nervously and hoping for the least worst...
No surprise, it looks like the northeast can expect shipping delays:
Last updated November 19, 2014
The winter storm that brought hazardous conditions across the northeastern U.S. earlier is still leaving difficult conditions and continues to affect FedEx operations. Unavoidable service delays should be expected due to local road conditions. FedEx is committed to providing service to the best of our ability in areas affected by the storm and as local conditions allow. We will continue to monitor the situation to minimize the impact on service.
Please continue to check FedEx Service Alerts for updates.
@cengland0, we know who really deserves the blame, don't we?
@KDemo I get the message "A winter storm is causing potential delays and disruptions in the northeastern U.S." and my package isn't due until 11/26. Man, that's longer than what anyone else has reported and I live in the South East -- way far from any storm.
Mine has updated to 15x11x10 inches, and 5.6 lbs. with Estimated delivery of Mon 11/24/2014.
15 x 10 x 6, 5.4 lbs. It is like a birth announcement! Whatever it is must be dense and short, as that's a pretty flat box. My first fuku from ANY deal a day site, and I will be watching for the mailman with binoculars.
My tracking finally updated. I still have the placeholder dimensions, but it should get here next Tuesday (11/25).
@milujite Same here. Mine is currently in some teeny tiny Illinois town. I have never seen a package have a layover in New Douglas, IL on its way to Chicago.
@bruceoite That's where mine is! Must have been on the same truck! (Mine is coming to ohio)
@chellemonkey Same with mine, but then it went to Berlin WI, and THEN it'll hopefully come to Chicago?
@bruceoite Packages seem to be taking circuitous routes this time around. Mine is taking an extended sojourn in Joplin, MO on its way to Northern IL. Haven't see that before.
@boba1213 Yea, the New Berlin, WI stop is a time honored tradition with FedEx smartpost. Some liken it to the Klingon Age of Ascension ritual where the package is subjected to the cruel beatings of the United States Postal Service.
Out for delivery today! Size and weight never changed, though.
Mine never updated specs, but it's been delivered. Weeeee!
Anyone get a second tracking number on their fuku order page? I didn't, but I'm just curious if anyone else did.
Mine finally updated size/weight
14x11x10 and 4.7lbs
Due on Monday to Central Ohio
Are we comparing box sizes now?
20x11x10in @ 4.1lbs
I can only assume that the box contains 66 oz of Pepperidge Farm Baked Goldfish Crackers
@gimpeyjoe You can hope anyway
@gimpeyjoe
@TehMaliron My heart was hoping someone would pick up the bounce pass. It's gauche to meme yourself.
@gimpeyjoe My pleasure, with a setup like that, who can resist?
@TehMaliron
Mine also updated. 20x18x11, 7.3 lbs. Due on Tuesday in south eastern Michigan.
Shows a three pound 10x10x10 inch cube is coming my way. Maybe it will undergo a metamorphosis en route.
mine now says "Arrived at local Post Office - Allow one to two additional days for delivery" but still default size and weight
@nadroj Same here, but you can now go to USPS tracking. USPS tracking says delivery today. But the default stats never changed.
@SIMBM Still showing the default at FedEx. Actual size and weight is around 2'x4'x6" and 20 lbs. o_O
@nadroj A tv?
@Kidsandliz I was worried it might be, because my current 26" LED is a good fit for its location. Maybe could go 32" at most. But not a TV the size of that box. Where would I put it? Well, as it turns out, there was no need to worry: https://meh.com/forum/topics/official-fukubukuro-3-reveal-thread#5471eafdf9de582009b0dd65
Updated, and handed off to local USPS... might get it today?
13x10x6 in. - 1.7 lbs
I got a broken hard drive in a BoC once, fingers crossed!
Mine hit the allentown morphing station today- 14x11x11 and 3.4 pounds. Estimated delivery pushed back till tuesday, so I probably won't get to open it until after thanksgiving.
I'm in California. Mine has gone from Texas to Colorado to Wyoming. Yeah. And the stats have not updated from the default.
@SIMBM Um...did you use a different account to buy it? This account doesn't show any orders.
@hart It is kind of odd that you checked.......
@hart Thanks for checking, but yes, I did. This account, as it says, is a Self Imposed Meh Buying Moratorium. Permanent like. My other account? Yeah, I use it to buy. It's also a kickstarter backer and a VMP. Should I shoot you my other account name?
@hart Fort Bridger, WY, to be more specific. There ain't nothing there. My guess is that they shipped it up I-35 to I-70 to I-25 to I-80, and it'll stay on I-80 all the way to the SF bay area.
@SIMBM If you're worried about it, just send a request in and I'll look into it.
@chellemonkey I check everything [cue nefarious laugh].
@hart I'm not worried. Just bemused. Fukubukuros are all about the experience.
@hart Can you check if I left my oven on this morning?
Mine's 14x11x10, 2.8lbs. Seems a bit on the light side?
I am SO STOKED that the most frequent fuku item thus far has been the leak frog!
20x20x11 @ 8.9lbs!!! That's a lotta fuku!
@TheAlmighty1 Yeah, mine's 20x18x11 but 12.3lbs, wonder if it's a speaker dock...
Mine hit the local smart post center. Should get it tomorrow or Saturday depending on the post office. Also updated to 5.8 lbs. woohoo!
Mine just updated to 13x10x6 in.with a weight of 6.7 lbs / 3.04 kgs and a delivery date of Tuesday.
13x10x6 with a weight of 3.1lbs
Mine has updated, finally. It's 15x15x11 in. and 7.3 lbs.
Mine got its shipping label on Tuesday, and nothing has happened since then. Worrying about the implications, especially since the cutting boards already have a size/weight and are due here Friday. As a longtime Woot customer, I remember a shrink-wrapped pallet of dented electronics, lots of left-handed golf clubs, etc. OTOH, once they sent me a brand new TV, and I still have the Letter from ThreePieceWoot somewhere. Back to F5ing the tracking screen.
Mine is less than 10 miles away, at the FedEx SmartPost office. It has to go to my post office next. Should get to my house on Monday. 1.9 lbs, 13x10x6 inches.
According to FedEx, mine is at a FedEx location 30ish miles from here (arrived Friday evening), but still won't be delivered until Tuesday??? (Previously listed as Monday).
I'm even more curious as it is listed as 15x11x10 and 7.2 lbs. I haven't seen anyone else list an identical package yet.
Got mine yesterday. 5.9#; 14x11x10.
-meh bag
-15 bags of Texas air
-shark creature cup
-leak frog
-y-split, purple
-folding knife
Thanks meh!
I love purple.
Hmm, I've had a tracking number for a few days now and it's been marked as shipped but there's absolutely no info showing on either FedEx or USPS. Am I just in limbo or should I be scared?!
Mine should be here tomorrow- USPS has it now. I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up too high. Seeing people getting Galaxy tablets and Kindle Fires makes that difficult, though! I'd be so thrilled to get either of those.
@Pony I haven't been watching the other thread (although it has been killing me to not look as the number of posts get higher and higher) Mine should arrive today or tomorrow
@chellemonkey I always tell myself not to read the reveal thread, but I just can't resist. ;)
@chellemonkey Yeah, I was going to stay away from it too. But I couldn't resist either. I figured I'd either get my hopes way up or be thoroughly prepared for the mehness.
@Cinoclav @Pony I got a bag of crap twice. Once I stalked the thread watching what everyone else received and when I pulled things out of the box it was like ok I know what that is and just sat it aside. The other time I was surprised and I had to examine each item as I pulled it out of the box to determine what it was. It made it waaaay more fun to be surprised even if it was just junk.
@chellemonkey If I counted correctly, I've had a total of 14 bags of crap over the last 5 years. I'd say 98% of the stuff has been similar to what others have received. The crap that wasn't the same was mostly just more crap. I know I had mentioned in another thread that the recent woot anniversary craps had a few better items, such as the self winding Timex I got that retailed for $185. Overall though, I think I was more pleased (I mean thoroughly disappointed) with my first Fuku.
@Cinoclav But was it more fun to be surprised or to generally know what you were receiving?
@chellemonkey It's always fun to be surprised, but knowing there could always be something different in there made it acceptable to see what everyone else had received. It wasn't like I was expecting a 55" tv because everyone else got one.
Mine has been stuck at the "label created" step since last Tuesday, no updates. Still sitting on the loading dock??
@DJP519 Not loading dock -- speaker dock.
@hart Should I be concerned that it's been a week, and fedex still has no info? Thanks!
@DJP519 The tracking number assigned to my order by Meh never updated with FedEx. It never went past "A label has been created". If you create an account on Fedex's website, you can set alerts and track any shipment to your address under your name. That's where I was able to find the ACTUAL tracking number to my Fuku, which wasn't even SmartPost -- it was FedEx ground. Start here: https://www.fedex.com/fedextracking/?cntry_code=us&action=custdeliveryoptions
@capguncowboy Thanks, I am already signed up there. But now that you mention it, I DO have a "mystery" package coming from Texas. I was guessing it was the Mediocre t-shirt order, but maybe it's really the Fuku, with a different tracking number? Guess I'll find out in a few days when it arrives.
@DJP519 On mine, the details on the order actually said FUKU. My shirt order (I think anyway) is a 6x6x6 box weighing .5 lbs.
@capguncowboy Thanks for clarifying the tracking alerts. I still have absolutely no listing of anything in shipment to me. Hmm...
@Cinoclav
@capguncowboy Lol - How's this for timing... my gf just sent me a picture of a box that got delivered today. The Dept. line on the label says Fuku. Guess the tracking # was wrong. Used the one on the label picture and it says 17 x 16 x 16 at 3 lbs. No idea if that's correct. She'd better wait to open it...
@DJP519 Mine is stuck at that step also. I asked Meh for halp, and Marcus told me 'Don’t worry, Fuku’s come in all shapes and sizes and all kinds of random times.' A very Zen reply.
The tracking weights- they lie. Mine said 5.9 lbs, but in reality it was like 1.5 lbs. :/
@Pony maybe it leaked....
@chellemonkey Yeah, leak frogs... leaking all over the place... 4.4 lbs worth
@capguncowboy or all that TX air leaked out...
My tracking still says nothing on usps or ups, but i received my fuku yesterday with a note :D
@rileyper your FUKU was sent via Ground using a completely different 10 digit tracking number - the tracking number on your order was never actually used. Mine was the same way.
@capguncowboy So, stealth FUKUs on the move...
@rileyper So what did you get that it had to be shipped by ground????? Enquiring minds want to know...
@capguncowboy Thanks for the reminder about tracking alerts. I do indeed have incoming, not on the tracking number on my order. It's 20x20x11, 3 lbs. Whew.
