Hey you! Yea, you! Come join the Studerc Finally Finished His Fucking Thesis Mehrican Exchange!
31Alright party starters,
Got boxes of pointless crap laying around?
Getting yelled at my your S.O. because you've got too much stuff in the garage or basement?
Getting told by "the man" that your so called "hoarding" problem is leading to the loss of your home and/or property?
Well then this is for YOU!
For those that have participated in the past, things are pretty much the same...minor changes and tweaks. Guidelines can be found in the link below.
For those that are new, things are pretty easy...
Step 1: review the posted information and guidelines HERE
Step 2.1: Still kinda new*** Complete this super slick Google Form!! This should provide me with all the necessary information needed for the exchange and it will organize it for me. (PLEASE, also email mehexchange@gmail.com that you completed the form just so I can keep track that the form is working correctly!) DUE DATE: AUGUST 7th
Step 2.2: If you don't agree, well that's just like your opinion man and you can walk away no harm no foul.
Step 3: Your information will be compiled and you will receive randomly selected mehrican/mehricans to send crap to. (You will receive your suckers on August 10th ..again tentatively)'
Step 4: Gather your stuff, pack them in a box, and send them to the designated Mehricans. (Expectation here is to send them out by the end of the work week?) Also, USPS, FEDEX, UPS, its all up to you, just make sure the package gets to its destination.
Step 5: Wait for your package and post the results for everyone to see!!
TL;DR

ABOUT TIME! ;) Thanks for doing this man! :) Also may want to clarify as the last one was cancelled if those did participate only to be cancelled on would answer yes or no on your form... :P
@sohmageek I've got a copy of the failed exchange recipients. If I find people trying to bend the rules they simply will not play with us. We will take our ball and go play somewhere else! :)
@studerc I'm still a bit confused. My first exchange was the cancelled one. Is this still my first or is it my second? Am I to be limited to 1 or can I do two? I put 1 on the form but I'd really like to do two.
@Mehrocco_Mole It'll most likely be your first. You're a newbie until your package arrives at its destination and isn't utter trash. Nothing against you, but that's why that rule is in place.
@Mehrocco_Mole if you look at one of the last ones there were a few people that ruined it for the other new people. I'm glad j can get rid of some of this crap. :) (note it's not really crap. Well some of it is. I've had them boxed up for a while. But need to inbox and make sure that things didn't expire.
Thanks for the heads up!
@march5th00
Wow! This is happening? Awesome! I even got more stuff to pack.. Glad all things worked out..
@Dadoboy
Huzzah! I still have the box all packed up from the one that got cancelled. :)
@Pony The dust on the box just means it's extra good!
@Pony Mine has been sitting in the garage... I am hoping I didnt put anything in there that melts.
@Pony I've been sending out stuff on contests here that I made for the exchange, but time to get creative and make more!
Sorry all my stuff got sent to Meh as a birthday present. Maybe next time.
@sammydog01 Sad News Bears :(
Excellent! I can't wait. Thanks @studerc!
@LadyLeela
Hooray!!!!
@flouise
I'm in!
@juststephen
Not sure I can participate as I might, maybe, if I am really lucky, have a job and be moving sometime between Aug 10 and 20th. Maybe. Crossed fingers (didn't get the other one). But what I can do is send you a box in case someone craps out so that you can send it to the person who got gipped.
@Kidsandliz Few options...1. The person that gets you is just told to delay shipment for a few weeks till things settle down. 2. I'll have the person ship your box to me and there it shall sit unopened until you are ready to receive it. Up to you!
@studerc I emailed you, but I will know Monday afternoon if I am a finalist so that should help. If I am not then no problems (well other than no job). If I am I will let you know what option. Thanks for the options.
@Kidsandliz Good luck!!!!
@sohmageek Thank you. I didn't get the Chicago one that I thanked @pavlov for that interview when we were thanking him for things... those fools cancelled the search and decided they wanted someone with a different background - job redo went up today, and I am no longer qualified for it. Nice of them not to bother to tell me what they had done. I found out by calling HR to see where they were in the search. On the other hand it would have been the job from hell. And if I had gotten it I would have taken it anyway since I am desperate. Oh well. This is a better job. In a cheaper city.
@Kidsandliz Best of luck to you!!
@dashcloud thanks
@dashcloud YES!!! Good luck dashcloud! (if you need help from nearby (to Chicago) Milwaukee, send a pm - or something)
@v Don't wish me good luck- send it to @kidsandliz!
Well did not get that job. Another possibility that would start the end of October... sigh.
@Kidsandliz So sorry to hear that! Sending you some luck for the next possibility!
@Kidsandliz next time - don't lose hope!
I'm so glad this is happening. I've been stockpiling crap since signing up for the one that was cancelled....stuff that Goodwill wouldn't necessarily value.
Please dont die this time.
@darkzrobe
@studerc Wanted to find a dont die gif... But all I got was Die Antwood :(
@darkzrobe Never a sad face for Die Antwoord!
Yay! I get to participate this time. Although if I get @mfladd, I'll send him poop. Goat poop. :)
@jaremelz
@jaremelz
@jaremelz
@mfladd @studerc
@mfladd Why we miss having dogs...
They'd clean up the cat poop so we wouldn't step in it and dog poop is ever so much easier to pick up.
@lisaviolet we have to keep the cats litter box turned so the dogs can't get in it. They love cat poop.
@mfladd My vet joked about dogs and cat poo. Hey, taste this one, it's a little crunchy...
@lisaviolet truffles!....truffles everywhere!
@hippiechik Shudder...
@lisaviolet LOL that's what my husband and I call our Pug's constant search for the nuggets of kitty deliciousness. "Where's the pug?" "Oh she's truffle hunting again" gag
@christinewas
@christinewas I miss that show so much.
I have tons of crap to give away!
I'm definite in. I've been giving away some of the crap I've been going to send folk on random contests I've been hosting on the forum, however I have the materials to make new crap from scratch that you guys haven't seen before .
Expect to be surprised by my creativeness (not..really.. or maybe?) and post pictures people, I'll make sure I do the same..
I'm anticipating this so much, I'm going to start creating something "special" tomorrow. :)
Stephen
@juststephen I hope you get my name. I love creative crap
I'm in.
@Pavlov
@Pavlov
@studerc bang bang motherfucker
@studerc holy crap - what is this? and....stop picking on the fat kid. We eat our feelings.
This reminds me.. I did a Deals.Woot BOC Christmas exchange a couple of years ago.
Sent the guy a big package of stuff, but the one he sent to me is apparently still in transit.
Hate to seem pessimistic, but I'm kind of starting to wonder if maybe something happened to my package.
@Chops 60% of the time, it works everytime!
Yay!!! I'm in.
Good luck on your thesis/degree, @studerc. How long until acceptance?
@KDemo Thesis is in. Accepted with no conditions, as of August 1st.. Feels good, @studerc Master Teacher.
@studerc That's today, congratulations! Now, what should we call you, Master Studer? ;-)
@studerc @Kdemo
@studerc Congrats! You got a degree, I got married, August 1st was a freaking awesome day all around it sounds!
@studerc So, will your exchange recipients be getting copies of your thesis? (Also, I filled out the form.)
I'm a first-timer so I selected the one box choice, but I have very good references. Can I do more?
@ACraigL - You can use me as a reference, I'll vouch for you.
@KDemo Much appreciated!
@ACraigL
Disclosure: Not sure what it's worth, however, I'm not a participant.
Mine are packed and ready to go.
Hmmm, I hope the mice haven't gotten into them
@Foxborn cat toys extra bonus gift !
I had a pile of stuff ready to box up for the last one. Happy to be rid of this crap ... I mean, share this glorious bounty.
Can't wait! I packed the boxes in anticipation of the last one...and they are still sitting here. Best part is, I now no longer have any clue what's in them! Now...I'm wondering if I should open and repack them, or send them as is, and be just as surprised when the lucky (or unlucky) recipients receive said goodies....hmmmm
I'm so excited. I am cheap as hell on shipping though so whoever gets my stuff will find it stuffed into multiple flatrate boxes.
Oh. Speaking of shipping, is there any chance of getting someone overseas? Can I be limited to the US? I have a little extra money coming next paycheck but I can't be spending $100 to ship to Australia or somethin'. D:
@HELLOALICE thinking of cheap Shipping. I did some research on the way out meh-overlords ship. It's a bit cheaper than flatrate if it's not that far to go using fedex smart post. If you are shipping flatrate it's the same carrier method. Just fedex starts the process. It seems to be cheaper with a larger box than multiple smaller flatrate ones.
@HELLOALICE Staples has a 25% coupon for UPS shipping in the local ads, and presumably on their website as well for this week at least.
@dashcloud Wicked, no way!!! Thanks for the tip!
@dashcloud There's something very strange about that coupon. I snagged a copy from the website. The large coupon text says "25% off shipping services" but the fine print says "Excludes stamps, labels, and shipping services". I'm so confused.
@parodymandotcom It does say for in-store UPS shipping only, so I'm going to guess that's what the coupon is for, and the exclusions are for everything else. Since you can't use it online (the version I have), you'd have a very good chance in-store because the coupon would be pointless otherwise (and they wouldn't waste an ad spot on a pointless coupon).
@dashcloud Are you sure they wouldn't waste spot on an ad with a pointless coupon. I've seen pretty much useless... Example is Toys r us... They keep having a 15% off furniture coupon... But then it excludes special orders... Our Local Toys R us doesn't stock any furniture other than the kids sized chairs/some small tables all under $100.... So if you want to use it on a crib like the picture has... they deny it as it's a "special order"
TL DR
I feel like that guy as i walk away
I'm excited. I've never participated in one of these, so I'm in for one box and I already have a theme!!! :-)
@studerc Just emailed you...
@medz its what all the cool kids are doing!
I'm going away for a week vacation from the 8th to the 15th. I'd feel bad waiting until I came back to ship out my box....I will have to pass. Bummer.
I am awesome.
@sturderc said so.
@lisaviolet www.iamawesome.com verified it
I'm in, again.
I am in! My wife is excited to trade the many things we know we do don't need for other things we don't know and don't need
Shameless plug to bring this fucker back to the top of the heap.
@studerc I just finished creating something else for my exchange person by hand. I can guarantee you no-one has received anything like it in one of these exchanges.
I had to dig out my old boxes and track down parts of them as the kids ran off with parts of them. I figured why not and upped the box to 3!
I've been sending boxes of crap to people for years... Especially when they're away from home for an extended period of time. This is better than Christmas for me, and the recipient might appreciate it more!
Already 45 participants, shit's gonna go down!
@studerc 45??? :) Awesome! So 44 will be disappointed when all of the boxes end up at your house right?
@studerc 45 people how many boxes?
I am in. For the first time. It feels so wrong, it feels so right. Let us do it as we ship into the night. form complete
@connorbush Woo! I'm so ready. Can't wait to get my person for I can custom make them something personalized.
@juststephen personalized persons prevail proudly; providing pronounced personable portraits, probably...perhaps?
@studerc So......do I need to fill out the form again, or did you manage to save all the info from the last time and....
Do I need to fill out the form again?
@lumpthar yup new run so youll need to do it up again!
@studerc Okay. Fixed.
Is there a link to see examples of the contents of previously exchanged boxes?
@connorbush Good question....I was wondering the same thing!
@spotandginger @connorbush here is the last unboxing thread...there is one for ver 1.0 also... https://meh.com/forum/topics/mehrican-exchange-ver--2-0-unboxing
@mikibell Thank you! :-)
@mikibell Thanks!
I'm in; not as a representative of Meh, but as a simple man who will do his best, lovingly curating a box of gifts for a friend whom I don't know.
(Don't expect a roomba, is what I'm saying.)
@Moose But we should expect something from the speaker dock or toilet paper collections?
@dashcloud I really hope a vindictive staffer doesn't get me... I'm worried that a box of tp shows up... Lol
@Moose Oh wow, an official Meh staffer sending an offical Meh box officially in an official capacity! This will be the greatest thing since a confused intern at Woot accidentally sent out Wendell & Kiki, the Kidfoot puppets, in somebody's BOC shipment!
@Starblind so you're saying whoever gets the goods from @moose should expect glen? Or at the very least irk's headband? I really hope that he doesn't ship Irk. I like those videos. As much as I'd love to have Irk... It would bother me more than it should that there wouldn't be any more videos from him then. But if that happens we know who is at fault. @mfladd
Tomorrow is the last day to sign up! (ACCORDING TO THE OP) If you want to, here's your chance...
Whew! Got in just in time. I'm afk till the 17th, though ... hopefully that doesn't cause any undue anguish for the lucky suckers on my list. Cheers!
Bump..because, why the fuck not.
@studerc fuck knots yasssss muahahaha
I am just glad I entered when the thread was released. Instead of signing up, spending a couple hours building a box, then going back to the thread and realizing it was a month and a half old and @studerc had disappeared off the planet.
I felt pretty stupid. We really need like a banner or something that say "Caution Old Thread"
"I have opted to create a truly random experience in that the same person that you send crap to, will not send you crap in return. "
If it was indeed truly random, there be a chance that the same person you send crap would send crap to you.
@MrMark Or a chance that the same person you send crap to, is also you.
@MrMark In the past people were randomly paired up. In that respect, once you got your random pairing, you knew who to expect a package from. Now things are done by random number generation with regenerations if people are paired up. Thanks for your input though, so helpful.
@Moose if you get yourself I'll be sure to leave it. But its not much of an exchange. :)
@studerc Sarcasm?
@MrMark What? Nooooo, you've single handedly revolutionized the system through your comment.
@studerc
Ok in under the wire.
BTW: Did you know that goggle is not the same as google and they make you think it is and that you are going to win a prize ?
Bump
@studerc double bump :) when is this closing anyway?
@studerc I'm getting so excited with some recent additions to mine! Squeeeee
@studerc If you exceed your bump limit, the thread will start to grind and you'll be charged for any damage.
@KDemo...@JonT will cover the costs for any damages. He owes me. :)
@sohmageek Well it says August 7th so i would say that at 12:00am tonight the deadline would hit.
In the past though ive allowed people to join as long as i havent sent out emails.
@studerc I can't wait till midnight! :) I end mine around Raylans bedtime.
5 spots down on the list?!?! Blasphemy!
@studerc
@studerc seriously you kee bumping this...
@sohmageek here comes another bump!
@studerc no... Stop the bumping...
I think I've officially put -way- too much effort into my package. Just spent a couple hours crafting something else.
@juststephen I haven't touched mine in a few months... I think I may need to crack it open and try something else....
Yeah, I still have my half-filled box from the aborted exchange ready in a closet corner. I should probably go through it.
I don't plan on filling the rest of the box 'til I get my recipient's name and site/net-stalk 'em a bit to see if I can find any interests or qualities to influence the remaining fill.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I got an address! I was beginning t think this was like @Studerc's Goat Prize!
@sohmageek
@studerc Did you ever get that man?
@sohmageek The goat prize? Of course not. :)
Just got my email- will send out in the next few days.
Just got mine. My box literally broke because of too much stuff. I'll have to get to the post office, grab another box and redo it. Then go back to the post office. Kinda a six mile bicycle trip for me. I'll try to get it out this week, will let you all know...
@juststephen Or... order a new set of boxes from the post office... takes a few days...
@Pony Mine will be heading out within the week or so... I figure faster is better, but I have a lot of work to catch up on...
@sohmageek Last time it took two weeks!
@juststephen Put your broken box of stuff in a backpack, take it with you to the post office, get new box, pack & ship. Boom. 1 trip.
@juststephen Really 2 weeks? It takes them about 3 days or so to get it to me in Vt... I Think @tHumperchick hit the nail on the head though.
@Thumperchick True. Some of the stuff is fairly weird though, some of it very "unique" as it's homemade... I could see people thinking, "wth is he shipping that", however it doesn't really matter what they think.
As for a backpack, I have back issues, I could probably put it a reusable grocery bag maybe and do it that way...
@juststephen They are going to take what ever you send and they are gonna like it..
Woohoo! I got my address, grabbed the box, added more stuff to and will be shipping to Colorado by Tuesday!
Go Broncos!
@Dadoboy got my email. ignored it. have yet to assemble my box. huge bummer for whomever is on the receiving end.
@connorbush nope.. I got another Bronco's fan address.. :)
Edit: er.. Wait did you send me an email, that I ignored?
I'm confused.
@Dadoboy no, no, no..I was just remarking that, unlike you, I have yet to take any action toward assembling my box. Whereas you have already made progress toward completing and sending yours and that my recipient is sure to be disappointed.
@connorbush ahhh, ok..well,i had it pretty much done the first go around (before the sickness/baby), so i just had to pretty much find the box again..
Good luck!
@Dadoboy oooh. I'm in Colorado! I'm a Broncos fan! Though... I'm not sure how you would know that and there are... lots of us. So I won't get my hopes up.
@christinewas Mum's the word! :) Go Broncos!
If it wasn't already apparent, emails did just go out for the exchange...74 of them fuckers. Be sure to let me know if there are questions or concerns!
...and boom goes the dynamite!
@studerc What if I have concerns over questions?
@studerc So... These aren't the people sending me my box? (snicker at obvious question someone is bound to ask at some point...) ;) You're welcome for asking what's already been answered :)
@Thumperchick Are they about the box, your address, the swap, @studerc, or something unrelated to my options I've given you?
@sohmageek all and none of the above.
@studerc I have Questions about @thumperchick's Concerns
@Foxborn @studerc I have concerns about @thumperchick's question!
@mikibell @studerc After this exchange I have concerns about what someone devious soul might send @thumperchick !
@studerc I didn't get an email. Was I left out?
@Kidsandliz Probably nothing... I didn't sign up for the exchange. hides
Woohoo! I have some work to do in order to personalize it, but it should go out within a few days.
A little bummed that it's not @mfladd. It looks like his lucky day!
@jaremelz So you could give me goat poop? uh-huh. Plus, I apologize to @studerc for not participating, but I am going to have to find enough shit to send for my contest.
@mfladd
@mfladd What is your contest?
@juststephen Still in the works. How can you follow the likes of brilliance like @Pavlov and @Starblind as goat and not have a contest. Though mine will be mediocre at best.
@mfladd But your intentions, those are awesome.
@mfladd I still gotta send out my custom prize from my second contest. Thanks for reminding me. I just have to find a box for it to fit in.
YAY!! Let's do this thing
Fun Fun Fun!
I don't know how to stalk and find out the secret desires of my assigned name...guess he'll just get miscellaneous crap, ummm, I mean hand selected treasures.
@jann Put their username after the @ in the followng link... That'll do the trick.
https://meh.com/@
@juststephen That never does anything for me, I just get the header info and a blank page
@Nikodemus try google. I think I found my person although not sure how that is going to help me find other cool stuff for them - did let me figure out a few things not to send...
@juststephen Just tried that. My person has never posted. Sigh. Hope they post what I send. My last person didn't.
@Kidsandliz I agree, it satisfies that strange curiosity but doesn't help much otherwise. They are getting the same random junk either way.
@juststephen Well, swell. Of the people I got, only one has ever posted anything here and there's absolutely no personal information.
@lisaviolet Get them things an off the grid hermit might like then. You know sticks to whittle, maybe one of the cup and ball toy things.
@Nikodemus I was thinking toilet paper.
@lisaviolet Fancy toilet paper with cartoons on it. Or monsters.
@lisaviolet You could get them this. (also, my search history is now just that much more messed up, yay)
@juststephen This only brings up threads someone has started and not all of their comments, right? I tested it with mine and nothing came up. But I know I have done a fair amount of commenting.
@christinewas I believe that is the case.
I was just checking the name of this exchange. How the hell am I going to get all of that onto a bag? And who here would use a bag that has their name on it with words "the Studerc Finally Finished His Fucking Thesis Mehrican Exchange" in big bold letters on it?
What about the children? Even worse, what about the easily offended?
@lisaviolet I never take bags with me to the grocery store, but with that I would make an exception. Just so I could reply "we are all very proud of him" to the strange looks, with the hope someone would ask what a thesis titled "Mehrican Exchange" is about.
@Nikodemus
@juststephen Did you try to Google their name? My person has never posted as far as I know, but I found at least SOME info online. It helped a little.
I'm new to the exchange. Are we supposed to PM the recipient and let them know who they are getting the package from? I sent mine to the pacific coast today and it should arrive in a week or so, but not sure how anonymous this all is.
@readnj I'm making it semi anonymous on here.. All I'm saying here, is that's it's in Colorado country.. But put my user name in letter
@readnj Last time I included it on a note in the box, but I don't think there is any harm if you want to spill the beans ahead of time
@readnj Same here, I'll share shipping info with a general location. The boxes have notes with username.
@Nikodemus no return address on package ?
@ceagee Oh yeah I slap that on too no worries about it here
I wanted to get personal but I had the boxes set to go from last time and I didn't want to end up in creepy stalker territory. EDIT maybe I'll personalize the note more but hard to buy things based off twitter.
missed this, but participated in the first one... hope the next isn't too far off!
@becca There may be hope...email in and I'll see if I can make something work!
@studerc I no doubt have the junk for an 3rd box if helpful to match with a late comer.
Shipped
@darkzrobe heh.. Your enthusiasm made me get off my lazy ass, and get mine shipped as well.
@Dadoboy I wanted to get rid of it. I have been sitting on that since the last one.
I should probably begin assembling my box of meh.
edit bag of meh in a box.
Hey all, I just shipped mine, using USPS, and said it was media (a blue ray disc was in it) and it saved me about 10 bucks in shipping!
@Dadoboy That's not right. :( If they suspect it's not only media, they can open it and confiscate the contents... Or return to sender.
@juststephen really? The usps guy said "that's all i needed to hear" once i told him a blue ray was in it..
@Dadoboy @juststephen If it is inspected, it usually is sent on postage due. if it is refused it is returned to sender postage due. If the sender does not pay, it ends up in the mail recovery center (dead letter).
@speediedelivery do you think I could call usps, and say i was misinformed, and pay them? I don't want my person to think I'm sending them COD stuff (or want them to pay for it)
@Dadoboy I do not know if they would be able to catch it for you. It is likely on a truck headed for the next sorting center down the line from you. USPS charges to find and upgrade a package. You might be better sending a heads up to the recipient. If it arrives postage due, make it right then. The package may get through without inspection. The rules are the same everywhere but some areas check more than others.
@speediedelivery Thanks. I sent it pretty late and it was one of those drop off places that handles USPS, FEDEX,ect.. I called them and left a message saying that i wanted to pay a different rate.. Hopefully they haven't picked it up yet.. (Crossing fingers)
@Dadoboy Those places do not get normally get training from USPS. They usually charge a fee on top of the postage to make money.
It is easy to print your own label and ship from home or have it ready to drop off if you have a printer. Any scale that will do the weight works if you are not using flat rate boxes. If you buy a scale, it will pay for itself quick if you send a handful of packages.
@speediedelivery ugh.. They hadn't shipped it yet, so they are putting it aside.. But I lost that postage.. So much for saving money... :/
@Dadoboy They should give you credit for the postage already on it. Not sure with that company you are working with though
@speediedelivery Welllll... they wouldn't give me credit.. I understand they want to get another commission, so I just grabbed my box and went home. I knew the dimensions and weights, so I printed it online.. it was about 12 dollars cheaper than what they wanted to charge me, but with the original postage, I really didn't save anything... BUT - it IS on it's WAY!! Woohoo!
@Dadoboy Did they print an online label, use stamps or a meter strip? (Academic curiosity only, I can't change anything from here?)
@speediedelivery it said it was a " electronic label" that he printed. Said he couldn't do anything about it except put a new label on top of it.
Still uncertain as to what to put in my meh exchange box.... maybe like 50 packs of ramen, a phone stand, and my broken hopes and dreams?
@connorbush that and a hundred bucks might work ;)
@connorbush I might have an extra kindle case or two....
@speediedelivery @dadoboy Okay I have some neoprene too. Now my box is up to: Organic Ramen, A phone stand, a bag of some sort, my broken hopes and dreams, and some neoprene cases.
@connorbush At least your getting rid of your broken hopes and dreams.. Mine still wakes up with me every morning..
I just got started. Should go out in a week or so....
@lisaviolet you are not alone
@lisaviolet thank god I'm not the only one that wanted to wait a little bit... just so I have time to get to the Post office/Fedex.
@lisaviolet @ceagee @sohmageek I go to USPS six days a week. Mine might go out Thursday if I finish packing after work tomorrow. That was the plan tonight but I am fooling around here instead. Priorities, I guess, although I am still planning the contents.
@speediedelivery Well, some of us crafters, we're still crafting....of course, I could just put paper and glue into a box....
@lisaviolet What about pictorial instructions for the less crafty souls out here? I can admire the work of others but I must have been out sick when creativity was given out.
@speediedelivery Easy peasey. First you buy an electronic cutting machine that is able to process SVG files.
Then you get some SVG files. There are lots of freebies and a couple of places that sell them. I get most of mine from SVGcuts.com.
Because they have video tutorials!
Here are some of the things I've done.
No special talents, I just follow directions. Until it comes to the glue. Glue doesn't like me messing with it.
My box for the last exchange ended up donated to Purple Heart.... Started a new one, so it may take a few days to gather the crap... I mean goodies. How much time do we have to compile and send out before being considered a deadbeat?
@wildmomo I'm having to delay mine for a bit for to reasons out of my control, since I'm headed out of town Friday it probably won't be till one day next week.
Shipping mine today. I'm out of town on vacation 8/21-8/30 so if it comes in then it will have to wait before pics.
@StrangerDanger I am not going out of town but I am incredibly
lazybusy. So yeah, definitive timeline is a little much to craft.@connorbush If yo9u got me no worries. Just wanted people to know that pics will come depending on when I get back.
@StrangerDanger I have no idea who I got ! I should probably look.
@StrangerDanger I won't be sending yours out until this coming weekend, so you should be receiving it sometime early next week, I assume. I'll come back here and let you know estimated delivery time once it's sent.
@StrangerDanger Work has been ridiculous (+12hr days) with emergencies, so I haven't been able to work on your box 'til today. It's now packed and ready to go, but I'm going to hold off on mailing it until Wednesday, so it arrives on Saturday or Monday for your return. Sorry about the delay; I can only hope your impending 16lb shitbox somewhat makes up for my tardiness.
@goldenthorn It's cool. I've been there where you get home and just want to sleep. Thanks for the heads up.
@lisaviolet
I'm preparing a box for you and will try to mail it on Thursday. It's going to suck. I apologize in advance.
@sushiboy Seriously? You got my name? Really?
@lisaviolet Why's that?
@sushiboy All in good time....
I just started mine. Should go out by Monday.
My two just got dropped off at the office of the post. One on its way to GA and the other is going for a blistering 42 mile trek around western NY.
@Nikodemus Hey neighbor! My package arrived today. Thank so much, it's awesome! I'll take pics tonight & post tomorrow.
3 boxes sent
NY, ID PA, all set to arrive on Thursday. I hope they enjoy!
(and yes I dropped mine off with Nikodemus)

OK... So I checked my email last night and studerc replied to my "I completed the form" email and he needed my full address to continue.... Since everyone already has their names and I'm late to the party (but didn't know it), does that mean I have to wait for the NEXT exchange???
@wildmomo @studerc knows his shit. He will take care of you, dont worry.
@studerc :). Thank you. I am caring for my elderly mom and my life has turned upside down. Never in a million years did I think I would be where where I am at at this point of my life. Any form of happiness is welcome!
@studerc I even set up a new email just for this.... My other two are bombarded with crapola everyday and anything important usually gets lost in the crap.
@studerc :)
@studerc I just got my name tonight... Thanks Studerc! Wasn't sure if I was gonna get one or not, so I stopped compiling stuff. Now I will continue. I just hope my person doesn't get mad if it doesn't go out till next week...
Shipped yesterday from TX to WI. Due to arrive 08/13.
@parodymandotcom Update - the package is now in IL on its way to WI. Still scheduled to arrive 08/13. Via UPS.
@v So, did you get the box? Is it still at your front door?
@parodymandotcom (just got in - will open and list tomorrow! excited, but sleeeeepy)
Sorry to my recipient. I will get it sent out by the end of the week. I'm having issues with acquiring a box. I refuse to pay $6 for a stupid box that will fit everything.
I somehow did some mega reorganizing on the box and it looks so much more neat and tidy! I also finished my last 'project' for it. One of my other projects that I made for the first one kinda broke, so that made me sad. :(
Anywho...
Anybody sending to TX?
Close, but not quite. Mine is going 634 miles from me.
That doesn't do you much good if you don't know where I'm at. Neener.
I guess I could add the tracking
OR

About 1000 miles away so maybe Monday. And I feel I payed way to much for shipping. Damn thing was like $22
@darkzrobe Mine will be about that! Yeah, I know. Sheesh.
@juststephen I wonder if there is a way we can cheat and use Meh's shipping account. @JonT make it happen!
@darkzrobe all 3 of mine totaled over $50
@StrangerDanger Ya... I might just stick to one till I have a tad more disposable income.
Damn you student loans!
@darkzrobe 17 + 10 for my two, $22 for yours to go 1000 miles, $10 for mine to go 42...I think I lose on the cost per mile.
@darkzrobe If there's a Staples nearby, you can get a 15% off UPS shipping for in-store usage only- check the weekly ad on the site.
@Nikodemus You should go ask for a refund. Say someone on the internet got a better deal and you want it too.
@darkzrobe too late, I see it was already delivered this morning. At least they were fast delivering stuff of questionable value.
While I was digging around looking for things to add, I've misplaced my glasses that I've been looking for for two and a half hours.. Any idea where they might be? Seriously, I've looked everywhere. Even the box.
@juststephen they are probably on your head..... That's where mine always are! Or in my bra....
@wildmomo Actually, it's either my phone, or my glasses or a Kleenex.... Or what they say is "bra food"...
@juststephen they fell behind the thing
@thismyusername Huh? I have a pair in my purse and on my head and on the night stand.....
And the dollar has plenty....
@thismyusername what think they they fall behind)
@wildmomo you know that thing they are behind that thing... when @juststephen was doing whatever at some unspecified time his glasses fell behind that thing.
@juststephen - Between the cushions. Wait, this is for a prize, right? ;-)
@KDemo for the bra food?
@KDemo or another prize?
@wildmomo oh crap.... Maybe that should have gone to @juststhephen...
Crap... I need help and don't know what I'm doing....
@wildmomo I meant the dollar store has plenty of glasses :)
@wildmomo No luck. I looked behind, under, in, around, near and about everywhere in this room and in the rest of the house. They're my only good prescription pair and I'm headed out of town Friday, hopefully... Hmmm..
@juststephen I've even dug dig thr every trash bin in the house.
@wildmomo oh crap... Do I just alienate myself? I can send a prize if needed....
@juststephen I don't know how these "@" thinga work.....
@wildmomo don't feel alone, we all need help :)
@juststephen did you look in your mehrican exchange box? hehe
@thismyusername Yep. One of the first places I looked and I'll look there again in the morning, I'm sure. Wore myself out....
@juststephen - You might want to post this in the "Last thing you lost" thread. Seems you'd be a good candidate for that tracker. ;-)
@juststephen you needed to have bought that soccer ball thing so you could beep them.
@Kidsandliz It wouldn't have been here in time. I found an old pair that hurts my eyes that I'm wearing.
Mine has been shipped out. Cost twenty to ship it. Should be at its destination Friday. I don't remember every last thing I put in there. I know that there are a few homemade things and one "cute" object.
@juststephen Don't worry, I forgot what exactly I put in mine pretty much the moment I sealed them up. They have quasi homemade things, I mean they were made in my house and sorta by me.
Dropped mine off this afternoon. Only going to a few hrs away to the VA mountains, so $11 was probably a bit much. Nevertheless, if it fits, it ships!
@AlexNoVA does it matter if
heit fits willingly or unwillingly?@AlexNoVA oooooh I wonder if it's Mine, though I know there are several Meh-ers from all over VA
@Foxborn I'll never tell, and by "never" I mean yes it's yours.
@AlexNoVA SQUEEEEEE
@Foxborn USPS says it arrived yesterday afternoon. Still SQUEEEEE I hope...
@Foxborn USPS: 9405 5036 9930 0120 9689 37
I've got mine ready to go out, just waiting for the mailman to come by so I can hand it off to him. I did my usual large flat rate box full of randomness- I hope my recipient likes it. :)
@starblind's crap is on its way as of tomorrow. 6 pounds and 2 ounces of crap will be delivered via USPS 3-day Priority mail. If you need a tracking number, just let me know.
@capguncowboy Yay, thanks! Looking forward to 6 pounds o' crap! :)
Sent mine yesterday, 18 pounds but in state shipping, so only was 8.00. Was I supposed to put my user name inside? forgot...
@gnext2 Oh, I forgot too! Oh, well. My name is Stephen on the label and I did sign a certain piece of creativity with my name, so I guess that's okay. 8 bucks for 18lb! Impressive. What service did you use?
@juststephen Priority mail, but I get discounted rates on ordoro.com
Just sent @jaremelz 's package out today after ordering a couple last-minute items to throw into the box. Now the lid barely closes...
note: I had to ship it to Tacoma instead of Lakewood since USPS was making a big fuss over the zip code.
@eulestadt Woohoo! Can't wait. The crazy part is that technically we don't even live in either of those two cities, but a tiny town next to them.
@jaremelz Hey, I live in Lakewood! :)
@Pony Too funny!
@jaremelz Yeah I used to live between Dallas and Ft. Worth, so it just got easy to say I lived in Dallas.
Regarding the box though, I couldn't fit everything in, so I just decided to order some stuff and send it separately directly to you. (at least 2 packages total should arrive).
@jaremelz I probably told you too much...
@eulestadt Yes, yes you did. But I like it. I'm so excited! I just love that we have an outlet for this kind of crazy thing.
@jaremelz update: the first box you get will be about 1/3 of the total crap. Tracking says that the other shoulstuffd arrive about a week later.
@eulestadt Woohoo! I'm excited. And it sounds like you went and did too much! :). I'm feeling bad because I went to the post office to send mine and realized the most important thing was missing. And they were only open a couple hours. I hope my person doesn't mind.
@jaremelz nah. It's just cuz I felt like the first box was way too meh.
But this is the "meh"rican exchange so is that a good or bad thing?
My package from nikodemus arrived today. I'll take pics tonight & post tomorrow. I didn't see a thread for unboxing, did I miss it?
Also, @Lisaviolet your box is all packed up & I'll be taking it to the post office at lunch tomorrow!
@LadyLeela Hopefully not to undermehing
@LadyLeela You missed it. Here's the link:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/studerc-finally-finished-his-fucking-thesis-mehrican-exchange-the-unboxening
Well I have come to let people know that Friday morning (providing my wife is ok with me running errands) I'll be shipping the box(Es) :) sick kiddo means no Albany trip to Apple Store. But I ordered from bestbuy. It'll be here tomorrow :)
The mailman has picked up the box, and it's on its way to Vermont to Someone with the initials KB. :)
@Pony Whelp, that's not me. Looks like a lot of folk are shippin' out swiftly.
@juststephen Not me. I did consider just putting the paper, a glue stick and a link to the video tutorial in the box, but I figured that wasn't a cool thing to do.
@Pony I think I know that girl getting your package :)
I'll be mailing mine out Friday or Saturday, sorry for the delay to my two peeps, I've been swamped!
I am STILL working on the personalized item for mine! Sorry to my person, but it should go out in the next couple days.
@jaremelz Me too Only I got five of them. Her's hoping for another painfully slow day at work
@Foxborn not sure who has me, but nobody should rush on my account. I am 95% worried about getting mine out, and maybe 1% worried about when the other get to me. That other 4% is oh BIRD...what was I talking about again?
@jaremelz I finished!! Now, to sift through it and make sure it's ready to go. And weigh it. Oh dear.
Shipped today! 6lbs 8 oz headed to Tennessee to be delivered on Saturday. Keep expectations low.
@Moose Aww, you're the only ten I see. Well, ten pointer, where'd my shotgun go... Nah, I don't hunt. Couldn't stand to hurt any critters.
I'm so waiting for my person to receive theirs tomorrow. I'm probably more excited than they are.
I hope they'll be cool and post photos, there's several unique items in dere, handmade.
@juststephen woot! My persons box hopped from Jacksonville to another Jackson.
@juststephen Woot! Theirs arrived at the post office. I'm sure y'all are tired of play by play.
@juststephen Delivered! Left with individual.
Shipping mine tomorrow morning... Going south, so look out below the Mason-Dixon. Wanted to get it out earlier, but you know, life. Can't wait to see all the unboxings in the unboxing thread!
@primrosewater Mine's on its way to the post office now! Also, oh shit, I'm south of the Mason-Dixon (just barely!)
7ish pounds, headed north, box of crap
Mine shipped to Ohio today.
@lisaviolet
Your box is being shipped today via UPS. Tracking # 1Z05418V0391547209
@sushiboy I'm still working on yours, so....
My other 2 packages were delivered yesterday. I keep checking the unboxing page to see if it shows up!!!
@scolburn - OK - I blew it - yours is partially assembled and I will NOT make it to the post office today (insert first world life problems here involving work and taking 23 Cub Scouts/families camping 30 minutes from now). On pain of death, it will go out Monday and it will be well worth the wait, and will not contain anything that you sent me in the last exchange. :)
@Pamtha No worries at all. I just got back from vaca & I'm shipping my stuff out tomorrow. =)
Shipping mine after work today. I must say--it is my highest life achievement... mostly cause the rest of my existence is lackluster.
@connorbush shipped today. worked for 16 hours yesterday--excuse but; ya know, it is factual--so... there: okay.
Mine will be delivered in VT tomorrow, according to USPS. This is my third one of these exchanges, and I always freak out thinking my box of stuff sucks and I should have tried harder and then my recipient posts and graciously pretends it didn't suck and then I feel better... for a minute, until I see how awesome someone else did. gasp *wheeze* OMG I cant handle the stress. LOL
@Pony I think that feeling may be universal, everyone elses crap always seems way better than the crap your giving away.
@Pony awesome! I may not be home :(. But fret not! It'll be at the post office for pickup on Monday! If it is going to the kb I think it is :).
Side note: I must apologize to my (and my wife's) recipients. I meant to ship today but had a sick kiddo. So he wanted extra daddy time. I promise I'm not a deadbeat exchanger! They are boxed up and everything! Actually. I'm going to crack them open again and add to them tonight ;)
@sohmageek If she's the KB that's posing with a sunflower in her Facebook profile pic, then yes- it's her. (Yeah, I tried to see if I could figure out any likes/dislikes, but really didn't have much luck with that. LOL)
@Pony your usps tracking number is 9505511040685229318482 sent via priority mail! Sorry I was late getting it out - but I paid for it in postage. Ouch!
@march5th00 Ooh! I was so busy frazzling over the one I sent, I kinda forgot that I get one too! Haha! Thanks! I'll post pics when it arrives. :)
@Pony I'm sorry it's taking me so long to take pics and post... I have no energy with the heat wave by the time the baby is in bed. I'm going to try my hardest to make time to take pics before I go to work tomorrow. If not. It'll be Saturday morning (hopefully)
@sohmageek If you could just reassure me that it wasn't the suckiest box in the universe... or was it? (is insecure)
@Pony it wasn't. No worries. We loved the box :) it's been a hell of a week I feel bad for not taking the picture yet :(
@sohmageek Don't feel bad! Now I know it wasn't because it was too awful to post, I can breathe again. LOL ;) I hope your kidlet is feeling better!
Shipping my box tomorrow, but since I'm late I'll ship next day. It should arrive in NY on Tuesday
@spotandginger I wouldn't stress that much LOL Mine, or rather yours should hit the mail Monday. in fact it's Monday, I just don't know if "it" will be "done"
@Foxborn Yippie!!!! I'm excited :-)
Ok @Marion14505 your package is being dropped at Fed Ex momentaitly. Tracking number 808902695420
@spotandginger Yay! Maybe I'll take Wednesday off and sit by the back door waiting for my new box of stuff!
@Marion14505 ok, but you will be late. It should arrive by 1030 am on Tuesday :-) Hope you like it.
@spotandginger It said Wednesday when I first looked. Now says Monday. It's a mehricle.
@Marion14505 OMG!!!! MEH-SOM-NESS
@spotandginger Fedex priority overnight? Wowzers, you did go all out on shipping.
@juststephen it wasnt that bad. I used my company discount ;-)
@Marion14505 DELIVERED!!!!!
@spotandginger Received! Waiting till tonight to unboxificate.
@eulestadt yours is supposed to arrive Monday. Please post when you get it.
@eulestadt PS it is 14x10x10 and just under 9 pounds. I will have to find what I did with the USPS receipt so I can post the tracking number
@Kidsandliz oh shoot. I'm leaving on a business trip this Sunday and won't be back for another couple of days.
I'll ask my neighbor to help pick up the package, but I won't be able to post the pics until I get home; sorry for the wait.
Thanks a ton though! Looking forward to opening it up asap! :)
@eulestadt Sorry about that. There is no signature required so I'd guess the USPS will just leave it at your door. Fortunately only 1 or 2 things in there will get wrecked if they get wet if it rains. Hopefully it won't be stolen and your neighbor can pick it up for you. Here is the tracking number https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tRef=fullpage&tLc=1&text28777=&tLabels=9114+9999+4431+4710+2669+75enter link description here
It is already in Austin so I'd suspect is on target for delivery Monday.
@eulestadt You home yet and get it? Says delivered the 17th on the front porch...
@eulestadt Please at least tell me that the box arrived and your neighbor picked it up on the 17th (Post office lists it as delivered to the front porch). The post office said as a default that there is insurance and since almost everything in there was new, it would be worth me filing a claim if it didn't come.
@Kidsandliz Due to complications, I scheduled a short trip from China to NK, which was delayed and I just got back to China from Pyongyang yesterday.
And also as a result, the return flight is tomorrow instead of a week ago.
Just called my neighbor; they picked the box up.
I'm really sorry for all the trouble, but I promise I'll take photos and post it when I get back.
@Kidsandliz
Internet in NK costs $200 for 1 GB of 3G data, and being a cheapskate, I decided to go a week without internet, so I didn't see your message until I got back.
Either way, sorry for such a late response as well.
@eulestadt You have a good excuse so all is forgiven - blame the goat for the complications and the outrageous cost of internet for a week (I mean seriously @mfladd how could you do this to him?). Hope other than that your trip was a good one and you got some time to be a tourist since you were half way around the world. Don't worry about messing with this right when you get back. I just wanted to know you got it. Work, family and dealing with jet lag trumps posting about the exchange.
@eulestadt Hey so did you open the box yet? Was there anything in there that you actually are going to keep? Or did I just send you things you will regift and make someone else happy and then they will like you (so if that is the case it has to count for something? Right? LOL). Was the chocolate melted in the TX heat (I didn't think about that when I included those)?
@Foxborn, USPS Tracking #9114-9999-4431-4862-1357-61
@Marion14505 :)
@Flouise Congratulations on giving birth to a 9lb, 5oz package. It is on it's way to you! 9534613180575227027861
Everyone please congratulate the fantastic @Foxborn on her baby box as well, clocking in at 7lb, 2oz. Tis on it's way home, you can track it too! 9534613180575227027854
@Collin1000 Yay!
@Foxborn @collin1000 hooray!!
Just a Smig behind on the personal items!! YIKES Soon Soon I promise
@hippiechik and @smigit2002 your packages are packed and labeled, will be in the mail tomorrow. Tracking can be provided if needed.
@tightwad Yours should be in the mail tomorrow too
@tightwad
The box I sent south will be there tomorrow. ;-)

Shit was I too late
@lumpthar
@Moose Oops. I have been neglecting my Internetting duties. I received a "thing" on Saturday, but I haven't opened it because I am late sending mine out.
@Starblind don't fret. Your "thing" will appear in the next couple of days. It's going to the post in the next 15 minutes.
@lumpthar Don't feel too bad, I haven't sent any of mine yet either! (Should be today though). So you're not the last one!
Deadbeat no more! My package and my wife's package is gone! Yes... I have to put a unboxing of @Pony package my Wife received. BUT... I'm part way there... and with a sick Kiddo at home :( That's the part that made it hard to get out the door... I had them boxed up for a few months. I must also apologize to the recipients. I put my name on both boxes instead of my wife's on one. I also know I put the correct box to the correct person. BUT there is a 10% chance that I may have put the customized note into the wrong boxes. If so I'm sorry! (the customization was the name. With a sick 11 month old at home I didn't have much time to be creative.)
To my two recipients, I apologize, I too have been sick. I will get out my boxes this week. I take my kids to the drs for their well visit and every year I end up ill.. think I have finally found the pattern :) So sorry.
I just got back from vaca. If you're reading this and you live in NC, LA, or CA, (and you're "lucky" enough to be on my mailing list) then you have a box headed your way starting tomorrow; arrival expected by Thu 8/20. Hope I'm not too lame for being a late shipper, but ... it looks like I have company. As it stands, I just got my first box today. =) Cheers!
As Promised everything went to the post office today ENJOY
@salmeh check out this link
@Tightwad I got one for you too
@Mikeleemm here’s yours
@Hippiechik Did somebody ask for some more Meh?
@Spotandginger last but not last
I hope this formats right
@Foxborn Im so excited! Cant wait to see..... :-)
@Foxborn Woohoo...tracking is fun! Thanks!
@mikibell Your package shipped today, with delivery Wednesday! I somehow managed to get it all into a large flat rate box (with the exception of some candy my little evil boy ate). Be prepared for an explosion of meh.
@jaremelz I am not being rude by not posting the contents/any reaction -- I was sadly disappointed not to find a package waiting for me last night. Still at work, but I am so antsy to get home and check tonight !!! :)
@mikibell Yeah, their so-called Wednesday delivery didn't really pan out! I'm so hoping it's ok.
@jaremelz It is my hope to leave work soon.. keep your fingers crossed!!
@jaremelz Holy Guacamole!!!!! I am so thoroughly impressed by the quality AND quantity of my box o meh!! I will post pictures tomorrow. I have been fighting off my son from stealing lots of it. Thank you so much. I feel badly for the people getting my boxes of meh -- they are nowhere near as amazing as my mehbox!
@mikibell Woohoo! I'm so happy!
@AnotherDawn @dadoboy your boxes of meh-sized wonder went out this weekend. Forgot to put my handle in, so I added it to the return label... mr. Flouise said it looked more like "G. Louise". Eh.
@flouise I am the one who did your box, forgot to add my handle too, hope you liked it
@flouise Woohoo! I look forward to my meh'ness! Thanks!
@flouise I too woohoo!
@flouise Well, something went awry. The mail just came and still no box of meh-sized wonder. It's been a week since you mailed it. Can I haz a tracking number, please?
@AnotherDawn oh no! Yes of course - i am out of town but will be back for work on Monday. I'll respond here with # soon as I get back
@anotherdawn USPS # is 9534600005935227000163 -- looks like it'll be to you early next week. So sorry for delay!! Thought we sent 2-day but guessing I'm mistaken as it hasn't made it yet :/ hopefully something in there is extra amazing in its mediocrity to make up for the wait.
@flouise OhboyOhboyOhboy! Excited again!
@flouise Happy to say it's here! All I had to do was worry about it. It did not disappoint. Will post pics on the unboxening thread. Thanks!
@studerc Please send me my 2 recipients names and addresses. I didn't get them yet. denise.smith@mchsi.com
Thanks!
@AlexNoVA
@studerc
@cbilyak
Set expectations appropriately low. I will say I don't think I included any meh things, and while all things meh are equal, some things are clearly more equal that others. Unless I thought you might dig something personalized, you may have gotten some Woot! stuff, maybe dollar general, and for cryeye you may even see goodwill in there. Casey, you had one item that did not fit in the box and it will be shipped shortly. I hope it helps with your next thesis (as an aside, my (still current) wife told me at the time of my last graduation ceremony that my next degree will be with my next wife).
@v meh is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for the box!
@becca Package was shipped yesterday--expected arrival tomorrow (8/19). Had to fend off my teenagers from taking all of the "good stuff" out of the box. Hope you enjoy!
@Prissy yay thanks! I received a package today, which I'm assuming is from you. Mine are going out on Friday, and I'll wait til then to unbox, for motivation purposes. {if I only had a motivation porpoise...} Thanks so much! Expect to receive one from me next week. You too, @wildmomo. Thanks for your patience!
@becca Tracking shows it was delivered today, so I'm sure it's the one I sent--my initials are VJ if you want to check the return address.
You have so much more restraint than me if you can wait til Friday to open it.
@Prissy confirmed -- it's from you! I'll feel like a jerk if I open it before sending them out. If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
@becca No worries! I am out of town until Monday taking care of my Mom so I have not been able to finish compiling my big box 'o meh for @MrBoudreaux... Hopefully it will go out next week :). Just good to know I'm not the only one whose life got in the way of Meh fun.
@wildmomo I'm sending mine for @becca out this weekend! Any special requests?
@MrBoudreaux woop woop! Happy with whatever comes my way. Maybe something from your hometown?
@MrBoudreaux I was gonna ask u the same thing... When I started my box 'o meh months ago, it had a lot of girly-type stuff.... I may need to rethink this... If some not-so-manly stuff makes the cut, would u mind? I expect to ship out by the end of the week. Thanks for being patient :)
@wildmomo anything would be good! My girlfriend might like the girly stuff. I sent yours out this weekend, but I can't find the tracking number at the moment...
@MrBoudreaux Thanks... Will keep it as is and finish adding goodies. Now I feel like a total slacker.... I won't open mine until u get yours, promise 😉
@MrBoudreaux Sorry for not answering your post earlier.... I saw Becca answered it and assumed it wasn't meant for me😜
@lisaviolet my tracking said your package was delivered on Saturday. I know you haven't been feeling well. I hope you received it and are feeling better.
@LadyLeela I got it and took pictures, I'll post them as soon as I get my boxes out! Love everything, love Princess Bride!
My back is feeling much better. Yay!
@lisaviolet I'm glad you received you package. More importantly I'm very glad to hear your back is better!
My two boxes went out yesterday, and should be hitting IL tomorrow and IA Thursday. I didn't read the unboxening before I sent them out, in comparison with some of the stuff there I hope they're not too meh.
So interestingly enough I was the first to know the pairings (including my own ) and I have yet to send them out. My apologies in advance. School year starting up and free time is pretty much nonexistent.
@studerc Just throw a copy of your thesis in each box and mail em out
@studerc Is there somewhere to look to get the names and addresses of our victims? I need to know who I'm supposed to send these 2 boxes to please.
Boxed and waiting for the mailman. Two day priority. Let's hope they make it in one piece.

@lisaviolet Yay!
@lisaviolet Thanks for the tracking #. It looks like it should be delivered tomorrow but I don't think I'll get it until Monday.
As for your box from me, it looks like it's going to be delivered today.
@sushiboy And it's almost as if our UPS deliveries are the last ones of the day, so it won't be until late this afternoon. I'm looking forward to it, for sure!
I hope @kadagan wasn't too disappointed in and/or confused by his box, forgot to put a note in it!
@trisk I really liked it!! I'm sorry, been super busy and haven't had a chance to post yet!! I took pictures, and had to steal things back from my kids to put them in the pictures! My 18 month old daughter put a beer coozie on each hand like mittens and was running around the house.. lol.. And the heart rate monitor is perfect! My wife and I have both been starting to exercise and diet lately, so we'll make good use of it! I will make a bigger post soon!! (And I didn't know your username until now.. lol!)
Just a reminder, if you have one of my boxes I will be out of town until September 1st. If I get it today I will post it and maybe if it comes in tomorrow early but after that it will be held at the post office and will post the pics when I get back

@Uptrodden
Here's the photo:
@lisaviolet Thanks for posting the pic. Don't know how it got screwed up.
Darn..missed the deadline oh meh oh meh
Hey @Readnj! You haven't been forgotten!! I'm so sorry, but I had a lot of things come up (including my mother having unexpected surgery, and a lot of stuff I won't get into), and wasn't able to send your box when I was supposed to!! I've got it all together, and sending it out today! I'm in western PA, so it should hopefully get to NJ really soon! I tried to make it pretty good to make up for the wait!! Sorry again! (@studerc I wasn't trying to screw anyone! I hope this doesn't exclude me from future exchanges!)
@kadagan No worries, life happens! I hope your mom is doing better. Since I didn't know who was my sender, and couldn't contact them, I was afraid maybe it got lost in shipping or something.
I'm waiting on one last box. I'm sure someone's just a tad behind. :)
@StrangerDanger I'm waiting too. It's making me sad. Just knowing for sure that I haven't been forgotten or blown off would feel better. so who ever has us please let us know we aren't forgotten
Well at this point not sure my last box is coming. Been nearly a month since we gt our names.
@StrangerDanger Same here, wonder if we are waiting on the same person. email @studerc and there have been volunteers to send out another box.
@foxborn @StrangerDanger :( I'm sorry I know it wasn't me, but being the goat I'll apologize for them... Hopefully they have a reason, and aren't just Asshats...
@Foxborn @goldenthorn and @SavvySapphire did such a great job with the boxes they sent no need for another. Just disappointing that someone received a box and didn't send one out. I'm not too cynical and will like to believe it was for a good reason.
@StrangerDanger yeah @goldenthorne can pack a awesome box
@Foxborn @strangerdanger I'd let @studerc know that way they don't do it to someone else... Unless a box does end up showing up... or maybe he can jab them with a cattle prod as they may have sent something and it disappeared into the æther.
@sohmageek Already done on my part. Just waiting to hear back from them
@StrangerDanger...the culprit you are looking for is @hippiechik.
Interestingly enough, @hippiechik failed to send a box to @HELLOALICE and thus @HELLOALICE wasn't aware that she was even in the exchange which is why she didn't send her box to @Foxborn.
I'll send @hippiechik another follow-up email to see if I can get the ball rolling. Regardless, I'll be sure to get people some boxes!
@studerc thanks for finding out. Can't wait for the box o'mystery
@studerc It appears she didn't receive the e-mail.
@studerc I also wrote you a second request after that one that @StrangerDanger just posted that read: @studerc Is there somewhere to look to get the names and addresses of our victims? I need to know who I'm supposed to send these 2 boxes to please.
hippiechik said Fri, Aug 21st 2015 at 7:36pm eastern
I didn't get a response to either request. I'll be glad to send these boxes if I could just get some names and addresses
@hippiechik hey there! Ive sent you the contacts at least 3 times. Where do they keep going?!?! I will send them again...be sure to watch all your folders!
@hippiechik Did you get his e-mail?
