@Barney The gripe is that they had a whole week to ship this shit and chose not to. I needed these for the last two weeks of school. Now I will at best have them for finals and nothing more.
@Dizavid No, the point is that they said that they would ship them sometime between 4/29-5/2 (perhaps they don't have possession of them yet) and that is what they are doing. They are under no obligation to ship it to you early just because you want them to. (How's my driving @Thumperchick?)
@Dizavid I don't know how you figure 3 business days since the end of the sale to equal "a whole week". It's all explained in the FAQ for when customers pull BS moves like this.
@Barney@hallmike how do i get in on this? i'd be an awesome shill.
customer: hey! why didn't ship within 20 seconds after i placed my order???
me: they specifically stated the item would ship between 4/29-5/2. also note, they didn't say what year. just for being a dick, your shit won't ship until 2032. also, fuck you.
@carl669 You're hired! You will receive your first check in about a week. Do not be concerned that it is drawn on a Nigerian bank. However, you will be required to refund a very small portion of your first check, to @hallmike, as an activation fee. He will also be sending you a very special link to click on which will activate your account. Good luck with your new endeavor and welcome to the club!
@Barney @hallmike @Thumperchick @carl669 I'll be a fucking Meh fucking shill, all motherfucking jolly about how shitfucking awesome Meh is and how assfucking incredible their shipping is and how bastardfucking perfect their items-for-sale are, and how every stupidfucking whiner and complainer needs to shut the goatfuck up, only first Meh will have to pay me a whole lotta octopusfucking $$$$$ in fuckingadvance.
@jqubed Yeah, FedEx lost the box somewhere. Meh already refunded my card. Unfortunately I bought two 32GB EVO cards from AMZN in anticipation of the cameras. AMZN wants $8 for shipping them back...oh well, lesson learned I suppose.
@therealjrn Wait! What? Amazon charges to ship things back? Since when? I've returned things before and have never been charged a fee. Did you buy it from Amazon or a 3rd party vendor through Amazon?
@cengland0 I don't know--I think from Amazon. I was honest with them about the reason I didn't need the cards (items bought on another web site lost in shipping) I think if AMZN had messed up I would have a better chance. I've never had a problem returning defective things--this was the first time I tried to return a perfectly fine product. I've decided to keep the cards...they'll come in handy sometime.
It is still within the time frame listed in the FAQ:
"Q: When will it be shipped? And how can I track it?
A: We wait until the day after the event ends to print the shipping labels, and sometimes if it's busy it can be two or three days (not counting weekends, because we don't ship on weekends). Once it ships, we'll throw a tracking number on your orders page at https://meh.com/orders
Hey @Dizavid, the top post of every product discussion page has a Specs post. This post includes an estimated shipping time. Sometimes they get stuff out before then - but usually not. There are a variety of reasons for the delayed shipping. In some cases, there's a ton of shit to go out and your mixer tumblers are in the back of the line. Sometimes they have the vendor drop ship them and have to work on someone else's time table. Either way, they tell you in the specs when to expect your mediocre crap, so try not to put too much pressure on them to impress you by beating their time estimate. This ain't Amazon.
Until then, maybe just put your hand over a pint glass, shake like the dickens and try real hard not to spill any of whatever the hell it is you need to mix so badly.
@Thumperchick But we already covered that, those numbers are merely a pair of ass-covering boyshorts, relevant only to the meh overlords cackling as they revel in their hot tub full of blender bottles, deviously determining how many more days they can choose not to ship them!
@Dizavid Life must just suck for you. Next time read the product description. I know reading is hard, but sometimes you gotta do it. You have no one to blame but yourself.
@sammydog01 I'm going with college kids that likes to whine. Perhaps we should give him a ribbon for participating in the daily purchase. That might make him feel all better.
@Dizavid while it came late (assuming the delivery date of 5/5 on FedEx proved accurate) the fact remains that you, personally and singularly, were responsible for expecting it to magically show up three days after you ordered it. You made some kind of wild assumption which is what created this whole spectacle. Congratulations, you have a legitimate complaint finally in that it showed up after the original promised delivery date.
That you expected anything more than timely as-advertised delivery serves only to demonstrate a lack of appreciation for how this site works, I would be positively tickled if I were to find out that the reason yours showed up late was because you were kicked to the end of the line and had yours shipped out with all of the local (read: basically next day) deliveries because you made a scene over nothing in the first place. In fact, I sincerely hope that's what happened, it would add a certain sense of irony and justice to this whole affair.
Just because you made a purchase it doesn't give you the right to act all entitled three days later when the shipping window is still wide open and the bottles didn't show up early like you'd wanted them to. You were promised only mediocre service and somehow decided you were entitled to more. Chill out, make yourself a piña colada or something with your new bottle, and get over yourself already.
Why do images always break, also?
@Dizavid Maybe because you can't link to something in Dropbox?
@Dizavid What is it that you bought that is still processing?
@Barney HEY! Let's not switch this to be all about silly mixer bottles! It's all about how I haven't yet got my cameras!
Here is the pic on a real host:
@Dizavid See? Not "always" broken.
@hallmike Gee thanks for the spoiler alert. :grumble:
@Dizavid But...but... those aren't due to ship until 4/29 - 5/2. What's the gripe?
@therealjrn Now we're even.
@therealjrn The wonderful thing about living in Kansas is that we can pick up discarded FedEx packages along side the road. Thanks for the cameras!
@Barney lol
@Barney The gripe is that they had a whole week to ship this shit and chose not to. I needed these for the last two weeks of school. Now I will at best have them for finals and nothing more.

@Barney You do realize that the "two weeks" thing is just for them to cover their asses for when they pull BS moves like this, right?
@Dizavid Here's another alternative for you. Don't order from Meh if you don't like their delivery system.
@Dizavid I don't know how you figure 3 business days since the end of the sale to equal "a whole week". It's all explained in the FAQ for when customers pull BS moves like this.
@Barney right between the lines.
@Barney
@hallmike
Shills.
@hallmike did you get your 25% increase on your shill paycheck this week? Pretty cool, huh?
@Barney I did! But I thought we weren't supposed to mention it to the non-shills.
@hallmike No problem, they won't believe us anyway.
@Barney @hallmike how do i get in on this? i'd be an awesome shill.
customer: hey! why didn't ship within 20 seconds after i placed my order???
me: they specifically stated the item would ship between 4/29-5/2. also note, they didn't say what year. just for being a dick, your shit won't ship until 2032. also, fuck you.
do i get the job?

@f00l I guess that's a yes?
@Barney
Hey Mom look! I gotta job! Somebody appreciates my skills!
@f00l Just keep in mind, I probably won't remember a thing I said tonight in morning.
@Barney
I'll dinosaurfucking remind you.
Purplefucking count on it.
@Dizavid So, you hoped they would come before the estimated delivery date?
"Estimated Delivery: 4/29 - 5/2"
Come back on 5/3 if you didn't get them and then you'll get a smidge more sympathy from someone, perhaps.
@Dizavid yeah, they are covering their ass -- but I'm ok with it because the deals are good.
@Kevin
I hope the are covering their asses. Don't wanna see Mediocre Asses.
@Collin1000 At this rate, that's going to happen!
@f00l Laughing really hard. Octopusfucking...
My Midland action cameras are still lost somewhere up in Kansas...Why are you bothering me with your petty shit?
@therealjrn so your Midland cameras are lost in Kansas. in the middle of the country. the mid land, if you will. whoa. freaky.
@therealjrn Man, I got mine a couple weeks ago!
@jqubed Yeah, FedEx lost the box somewhere. Meh already refunded my card. Unfortunately I bought two 32GB EVO cards from AMZN in anticipation of the cameras. AMZN wants $8 for shipping them back...oh well, lesson learned I suppose.

So where are my cameras?
@therealjrn Spoiler alert: Kansas. Says so right up there. ^
@hallmike
@therealjrn
Just remember, Kansas shares an unmarked tornado border with Oz, so Toto could be chewing on your order right now.
I just want my pearls before Mother's day.
@medz I also plan to give my wife a pearl necklace.
@ACraigL nudge, nudge, wink, wink

@brhfl Was that your shill audition? If so, you're hired.
@Barney It's all I've ever wanted!
@Thumperchick
Almost spewed tea through my nose. Tchick, you are the best.
@gregormehndel
@Thumperchick
Some of you may have almost spewed tea thru your noses.
I, for real, not almost, spewed protein-powder-shake/tea mix thru my fingers all over my Anvil t-shirt and kitchen counter/sink/floor/stove area.
+1 for validating my userid.
Thanks, @Thumperchick!
@f00l Aren't you glad there's a goat around to lay a little blame onto?
@narfcake
I'm giving the Goat a rest and blaming my Anvil shirt!
@f00l @KDemo approves! :)
@narfcake @f00l -
Yesterday's item is in the mail. Still nothing for my blender bottles.
@Dizavid
@Dizavid they are still on target for 4/29 - 5/2, in the mean time use one of these:
@thismyusername It's on the razor's edge.
@Barney You don't have to look at my threads, shill guy.
@Dizavid I'd rather be shill guy than shrill guy.
@Barney
He called you a shill!
@thismyusername Shill we dance?
@Barney upvotes Yul
@Pamtha I
Yul.
@Barney @Pamtha I want to go here on vacation. Up to the death part anyway.
HAY I'M HAV'NT GOT MY BLANDER BOTTLES YET IS THIS WHERE WE COMPLAIN FOR HALP?
:)
@djslack Yer doin fine.
YOU WERE SAYING??
UNLESS IT COMES EARLY, IT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE USELESS BY THE TIME IT GETS TO ME!!
@Dizavid yeah stick it to all those shills!
@Dizavid and of course when they show up before 5/2 you will pop in here and let us know right? right?
... useless? so they don't work after 5/2?
@thismyusername they no longer shake after that date.
@Ignorant @thismyusername
They still have a manual mode though from what I've heard.
@Dizavid So you bought bottles that you were going to use for at most two weeks then throw away?
@Ignorant you rang?
@djslack I bought bottles I was going to use for two weeks, put away for the summer, and drag back out in the fall.
@Dizavid So essentially useless means "I will have to wait to use them"...
The timing of today's product writeup seems appropriate for this lesson.
@Dizavid Life must just suck for you. Next time read the product description. I know reading is hard, but sometimes you gotta do it. You have no one to blame but yourself.
@Dizavid OK, the curiosity is killing me- there must be a good story here. Tell it please? Camping or something? Iron man triathlon?
@sammydog01 I'm going with college kids that likes to whine. Perhaps we should give him a ribbon for participating in the daily purchase. That might make him feel all better.
@Dizavid I bet you wish you lived in Hutchins, TX right about now.
@sammydog01 is this a new contest?
I'm guessing they want to mix up finger paints.
@Ignorant @sammydog01
Finger-painting? Count me in.
@Ignorant @sammydog01 Maybe gene splicing?
@DaveInSoCal @Ignorant @sammydog01
Could the gene splicing be done a different day than the finger painting?
It can't be before, because if something were to go wrong, it would not only ruin concentration, but "stuff" could get on the paint.
It can't be after, for similar reasons.
@Ignorant @DaveInSoCal Purple pancakes?
@sammydog01 I love purple.
@sammydog01 I don't see myself needing to mix anything when school is out and summer is in. I'm just going to be at the pool all day erryday.
@Dizavid Then use it as a cocktail mixer! Ooh, drinks by the pool. Unless you're underage?
@sammydog01 This is a good idea, but I don't drink.
I think he needed them for to beef up for a weightlifting contest.... now he will have to go like this
I think he had a date and needed to mix some rufies.
Huh? I hadn't posted here confirming it came late?
Yeah, it was like three days late. Even worse, it was missing a component.
Should there not be a mixy ball in here?
@Dizavid Good for you- you found a legitimate complaint.
@sammydog01 >implying the item being shipped and delivered late as shit isn't a legitimate complaint
@Dizavid Three days past an estimated delivery date? Yep, not legitimate.
@Dizavid this makes me smile just a little bit.
@Dizavid open it up and look!
@Dizavid while it came late (assuming the delivery date of 5/5 on FedEx proved accurate) the fact remains that you, personally and singularly, were responsible for expecting it to magically show up three days after you ordered it. You made some kind of wild assumption which is what created this whole spectacle.

@jbartus I like you.
@sammydog01
Aw, thanks. I like me too.
You seem a good sort as well.
