how long does this typically take?

kalamazandy thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Mar 21st 2016 at 11:03am ET

I ordered something from Meh.com recently, but was wondering how long things typically take. It's been a few days and it still says "processing." I think the slew of ordering options available have made me impatient. Many of them arrive next day without me even asking for it. And here, it's been several days and I haven't heard back more than a basic order confirmation.
That's fine. I'm not complaining, but I thought I'd ask to see what is typical here. I understand that higher volume items may take longer than others. But I'd like to know what I should have for expectations.

Hey @kalamazandy,

We actually don't ship over the weekend. We're pretty upfront about shipping stuff slowly and we post a general timeline on the product specs for each product.

For example, here's the Pebble watch we sold last Friday.

For a general lowering of expectations, check out our FAQ page. :)

Expectations appropriately lowered. Thanks. I just wasn't sure what to expect. I saw the estimated ship time. It's just that "processing" is somewhat vague.
Now that I have lower expectations in terms of expedience, I will do my best to put it in the back of my mind so I can manage my excitement more appropriately. I get excited for everything I order, but I'm not sure why. Seriously. I'll order special tissues or something, and I'm excited. It's an F'n tissue! Something is wrong with me.

Sometimes it takes awhile. I usually have forgotten what I've ordered by the time it gets to me and every package is a surprise.

Never order anything from meh.com that you need quickly. Having said that, the shipping costs (and the item costs themselves) are so low that it's worth the time/speed exchange, at least in my opinion.

You'll usually receive it before it comes up for sale again. If you look at it right, it's almost like it arrives BEFORE they even sell it!
