Hey @Deputydog - there are a few ways to answer this.
First - you can go to your meh.com/orders page and under your order click, “discuss my rad purchase” - this will take you the the forum page for that product. The top post of that thread will have a ton of useful info - including the estimated delivery date for your order.
Second answer is from the meh.com/FAQ which states:
Q: How much is shipping? How will it be shipped? Can I pay to expedite it?
A: Shipping’s always $5, and free for VMP members (see below). So yeah, we’re going to ship it the slowest and cheapest way we can possibly find. Usually that’s Smartpost or Surepost, which starts with FedEx or UPS and ends with the post office. It’ll probably be 2 weeks before you get it. And no you can’t get it any faster. Q: Ok, fine, it’s slow. But 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 (Enough people have asked for a tracking email that we’ll probably do that, but we’re not there yet.)
Third - it takes precisely as long as it takes, no more no less.
If you check out the estimated delivery date - and your order is later than that, please drop a note to meh.com/support so they can help you identify the issue. The support staff work m-f 9-5ish (central) and during busier times may take a few business days to respond. Rest assured though, when they do respond - they’re far from mediocre.
@Thumperchick I can opt out of forced emails clogging up in inbox??? Where do I sign up for that @Dave can we suggest going back to the asking if we want order confirmations?

It generally takes 1day to 1 week longer or shorter than it says on the estimated arrival time on the site… the longest I’ve had to wait after the “due date” was a week… When you start ordering things like me… you forget when they are supposed to arrive, and sometimes you get surprise packages… Then you THINK meh sent you something you didn’t order… But then you check your orders and realize that you did order it mindlessly at midnight one night.
@deputydog Looking at the one time you clicked the meh button, I am guessing you bought that Ful bag that was for sale earlier this week. The specifications post says that its estimated delivery is 6/15-6/17, which means that they’re not getting shipped until the end of next week. After that, it often takes 4-5 days for your thing to actually get from Mediocre’s warehouse to you; less if you live in or near Texas (especially the Dallas area), more if you live a long way away.
@lljk, I think your estimate is off… I just checked six of my recent orders (not including fuku/o, which have estimated delivery dates of “eventually”) and the shipping date is normally 6-8 days before the earliest of the estimated delivery dates. I’m guessing the fact that meh doesn’t ship on weekends explains the 6-8 variance, though the lack of weekend shipping could also be why the estimated delivery date is a range of three days. So 6/15 less six days would be 6/11 (today, a Saturday, upon which meh does not ship) and less eight days would be 6/9, this past Thursday. However, note that @deputydog complained about the lack of shipping on Thursday at 11:24 PM EDT, likely after Thursday’s shipments went out. This still leaves Friday, 6/10 as a possible ship date within the 6-8 day prior to the estimated delivery date range.
TL;DR: More likely the Fūl bags shipped at the end of this week, though Monday, June 13 is possible.

Does that poster say 1993, or 1995?

@dave - it may be time to update the FAQ language in a few places.
@Thumperchick yeah, either shipping notice emails are now a thing or I’m special.
@MsELizardBeth that is why I mentioned the need to update the language in the FAQ.
@Thumperchick you mean I’m not special? sniffle
@Thumperchick I can opt out of forced emails clogging up in inbox??? Where do I sign up for that @Dave can we suggest going back to the asking if we want order confirmations?
Hey @thumperchick this is the duplicate post!
@thismyusername oops.
if you were VMP, the wait time would be slightly less.
@carl669 However likely the wait time will be less than the wait time to die of old age… that’s a plus. Right?
@carl669 why, because they ship VMP orders before non-VMP orders? They are too Medi-ogre for that! Me thinks not…

@thismyusername No way…seriously? Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit…
@lisaviolet kinky!

Hey @Deputydog - It can take 3-5 days for them to ship… then another 7-10 days for it to get to your mailbox.

@DMlivezey Are you stalking the deputy?
@lisaviolet if looking at profiles is stalking, then of course i am, if lurking behind a stone wall with a hood on is stalking, then no
@DMlivezey I love it when bullshit is called on someone here in Mehland.
And all that has to be done is their profile perused.

@baqui63 Nah, there was an announcement on the bag thread the other day that shopping was delayed and wouldn’t happen until next week.
@djslack Ah… oh well, such is life… still, well within the mehness of things.
