USPS tells me that a package from meh was picked up at 11:07 AM this morning. Since there is no order number on there for me to reference yet until it hits the FedEx system, I’m going to assume it’s my IRK. It’s happening already! (I think)
Me too! I can’t wait for it to show “Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item” for like 3 weeks! No dimensions, weight, nor estimated delivery date! So exciting!
/giphy beyond thrilled
@medz oh good! Glad to know i’m not going crazy, i thought it was just my stuff. Looks like the new shipping method takes the website name literally. My meh stickers and irk box were both picked up at the same time. Can’t wait for mehmas in july!
@medz@vaxick GUESS WHAT??? Mine “MAGICALLY” arrives TODAY! It went from Atlanta to Bham overnight apparently and BOOM! It’s gonna be here today. How strange is that??? Any updates on yours???
Mine now says processing with a green bar. How do you see what is actually going on. I know some website was mentioned before but I don’t remember what it was. Of course I have no tracking number…
@Kidsandliz https://reg.usps.com/login
Create an account and add your shipping address to see what you have coming to you…seems like you have to prove you live there somehow…
@medz Says picked up by shipping partner and USPS is waiting for it. So I guess like some others. Made it out of the warehouse, strapped to the back of a turtle and now I wait…
Bought mine during the first IRK toilet flush and mine was shipped today. Guess the early bird catches the crap (worm I mean). Assume everyone elses who has shipped got theirs early on in the mehathon also.
@bdp 350 skids of USB hubmen arrived at the entrance of the overflowing Mediocre warehouse trapping the workers inside until they were able to fill enough boxes full of them to tunnel their way to freedom.
@Barney My last IRK was held hostage in the Grapevine, TX facility for about 4 days. I have no idea how this one escaped so soon. Maybe it’s a Roomba armed with knives.
@therealjrn Looks like you hit the jackpot with so much crap they had to ship it to you rather than deliver it by snail mail. I am jealous. One time some guy got 39 large screen tvs-all with cracked screens.
@Felton10@therealjrn I was originally offered that pallet but had to turn it down as I had no place to put it. I believe he was able to make a couple of working tv’s out of the pile (not all had cracked screens). I had posted about making one working mac laptop out of two broken ones I had bought from university surplus (and posted about it) which was likely why jont was going to originally send those to me.
@Kidsandliz You don’t get it. There is no choosing over who gets what when it comes to a Fuku, Fuko, or I.R.K. Not then, not now, not ever. It’s the luck of the draw. You are not more special than anyone else.
@Barney Ahh but I was special, at least for a moment, when they called me to tell me they were shipping me a pallet and wanted to confirm my address. They gave me good regret though that I had no place when I found out what was on that pallet.
Wow, some people are getting theirs already? Todays tracking history says:
July 12, 2019, 10:42 pm
Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item
LOS ANGELES, CA 90040
Shipping Partner: NEWGISTICS
Your item departed a shipping partner facility at 10:42 pm on July 12, 2019 in LOS ANGELES, CA 90040. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.
Well mine is taking an 1800 mile detour… Grapevine TX to IL then, hopefully, back to MS. I’d guess it will take longer due to the predicted flooding here(10+ inches of rain predicted here in 36 hours). Apparently my IRK is taking the scenic route.
@Kidsandliz Well, place of origin is actually in Carrollton, but yeah, Grapevine is about 20 minutes away. Carrollton is the return address on my shipments, including my IRK. Same as it was for my woot! shipments back in the day.
@ashergrl Fuku was a lucky bag. Fuko was an unlucky bag. Now it’s called an I.R.K. (Instant Regret Kit). They are all various editions of Meh’s version of a grab bag. Some contain(ed) very good stuff, others just pure crap. What you get is just the luck of the draw.
Mine was delivered to the local PO yesterday, but too late to go out for delivery (there’s just one delivery guy, and he only makes one trip), so it was unceremoniously heaved over the gate today. It has stuff in it, decent stuff, nothing I would want or buy, but may keep anyway. I’d say regret level minimal, disappointment medium high.
@Barney Maybe they are saving the best for last? If your box stays there long enough it might become fuller since a bunch of us got boxes not completely taped shut. And so they’d need someone’s box to stuff in all the good stuff that fell out of ours
Is Newgistics being used to ship everything now, or just the I.R.K.s? If it’s being used for everything, I’m pretty sure I’ve made my last purchase (not that I’ve been finding much to buy recently). This is ridiculous and their Yelp reviews are atrocious with A LOT of accusations of them stealing return shipments.
Mine has been stuck in Carol Stream, IL since July 14th. Post Office told me the weight of it is 19 pounds, but I’ll have no idea what it is until Newgistics ever decides to hand it off to the Post Office.
Mine shipped on 7/10 like a good little IRK , made it to ATL by 7/12 and then apparently decided to hike the rest of the way to B’ham. Tracking ceased on July 12 and only resumed today july 25 just in time appear on the front porch at 1:23pm CDT. This is weirder than the old WOOT. Also heard from Megan @meh, who agreed that it seemed to have fallen off the truck, but wait till today to seek it out. Girl must be psychic !
@meh Weird on at least two levels, maybe 3,
I ALMOST bought two pillows yesterday, glad I didn’t since there were two duck down king size pillows in the IRK
@lichme You made me look. Me too! Although I ordered a six-pack of stickers too…naw…it can’t be them…ME TOO!
Mine was picked up at 11:06. Wonder if it’s better?
Oh, and @lichme? I don’t think they’re using FedEx anymore. Welcome to New Logistics!
http://tracking.smartlabel.com/
/giphy yes
@blndfayth How does she shake her head “no” and say yes?
That missing period is bothering me. Pretty sure it’s not my fault.
@cinoclav I did it to irk you
@lichme And to think, I thanked you in that I.R.K. thread. You’re just vicious!
@cinoclav @lichme Shame
Me too! I can’t wait for it to show “Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item” for like 3 weeks! No dimensions, weight, nor estimated delivery date! So exciting!
/giphy beyond thrilled
@medz Yep the new shipping method really sucks the fun out of watching the I.R.K.'s travel journey.
@medz oh good! Glad to know i’m not going crazy, i thought it was just my stuff. Looks like the new shipping method takes the website name literally. My meh stickers and irk box were both picked up at the same time. Can’t wait for mehmas in july!
@medz Ahhh, good to know. My IRK’s been like that for over a week now and I thought I was going crazy.
@medz @yougotrossed same here, mine has been sitting in one place since July 14th now. Hopefully we’ll end up seeing these one day.
@medz @vaxick GUESS WHAT??? Mine “MAGICALLY” arrives TODAY! It went from Atlanta to Bham overnight apparently and BOOM! It’s gonna be here today. How strange is that??? Any updates on yours???
@medz @yougotrossed no movement on mine yet. Last update is still July 14th.
Mine is still processing. This means it is either
Or
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@CaptAmehrican Mine still processing too, but they’ve made USPS aware of the tracking # who has made me aware of it.
@CaptAmehrican Same. No tracking number.
Mine says it left at 11:07. Also have something coming from DHL that I don’t know what it is.
Mine now says processing with a green bar. How do you see what is actually going on. I know some website was mentioned before but I don’t remember what it was. Of course I have no tracking number…

@Kidsandliz Or http://tracking.newgistics.com/
@rtjhnstn Thanks.
I hear it through the grapevine it is parked in Grapevine TX
I checked my order just now (7-ish PT) and the bar jumped to “SHIPPED” (!) and I got a tracking number.
So as of 10:51 ET, “Arrived Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item, Grapevine, TX”
What is this “Shipping Partner Facility”? Sounds like it’s in the trunk of someone’s car …
@stolicat Worse than that-in the toilet ready to be flushed to you.
@stolicat mines at the same place. My last one day there for about a week… I’m hopeful this time goes faster!
Bought mine during the first IRK toilet flush and mine was shipped today. Guess the early bird catches the crap (worm I mean). Assume everyone elses who has shipped got theirs early on in the mehathon also.
@Felton10 I got one of the last ones and mine has shipped, too
@AnnaB Well there goes that theory. Guess crap is crap. On to my next theory-the better crap is in the first ones that are shipped.
Ooohhhhh mine shipped yesterday!!!
Mine shipped yesterday, too! Pity we can’t see the dimensions and weight on USPS.
@jsh139 IKR, serious delayed gratification.
@tinamarie1974 totally. But I guess it makes it a little more exciting that way.
@jsh139 nnnooooo I miss seeing dims and weight. You could drive yourself crazy wondering what could fit in the box.
@jsh139 @tinamarie1974 I know-waiting for the weight to be posted was almost as exciting as getting the box itself.
@tinamarie1974 I’d drive myself crazy even if I had the dims and weight
It’s on its way!
Oh god they shipped fast. What have we done?
@bdp 350 skids of USB hubmen arrived at the entrance of the overflowing Mediocre warehouse trapping the workers inside until they were able to fill enough boxes full of them to tunnel their way to freedom.
@bdp If it shipped quick, its not a “special”…
IRK my did ship?

Picked Up by Shipping Partner, USPS Awaiting Item
Carrollton, TX
/giphy it’s on it’s way!
Arriving tomorrow, so I have an entire weekend of regret to look forward to.
@Trillian You mean yours isn’t going to Ohio and then to Florida by way of Oregon?
Lucky you.
@Barney My last IRK was held hostage in the Grapevine, TX facility for about 4 days. I have no idea how this one escaped so soon. Maybe it’s a Roomba armed with knives.
What does “call shipping company to arrange delivery” mean?
@therealjrn oh boy
it looks like you get the pallet of IRK
@therealjrn It means that the box is so small and lightweight that it keeps falling out of their hands.
@daveinwarsh Yeah, I thought so. Dave in Warshington is onto me : )
You “won” the prize. Now its just a toss up if its the USB men or something good.
@chaos13 Oh! You thought…oh…no…I was just wondering what that phrase meant!
@therealjrn Looks like you hit the jackpot with so much crap they had to ship it to you rather than deliver it by snail mail. I am jealous. One time some guy got 39 large screen tvs-all with cracked screens.
@Felton10 I was just messing with the forum…I got a regular IRK but it is out for delivery today!
@Felton10 @therealjrn I was originally offered that pallet but had to turn it down as I had no place to put it. I believe he was able to make a couple of working tv’s out of the pile (not all had cracked screens). I had posted about making one working mac laptop out of two broken ones I had bought from university surplus (and posted about it) which was likely why jont was going to originally send those to me.
@therealjrn You have ruined my weekend. I was going to live vicariously through you and your pallet.
@Kidsandliz @therealjrn I didn’t remember the outcome-only that someone suggested he might be able to get parts from all those broken TVs to sell.
@Felton10 I’m sorry
@therealjrn As long as we can compare crap all will be forgiven. Mine is in transit.
@Kidsandliz You don’t get it. There is no choosing over who gets what when it comes to a Fuku, Fuko, or I.R.K. Not then, not now, not ever. It’s the luck of the draw. You are not more special than anyone else.
@Barney Ahh but I was special, at least for a moment, when they called me to tell me they were shipping me a pallet and wanted to confirm my address. They gave me good regret though that I had no place when I found out what was on that pallet.
Hey Lizy… You left your box cutter in my IRK box. You can’t have it back. Just thought you should know what happened to it.
@ABERNASTY42 Hopefully the box cutter will not be used the same way one was used in “Breaking Bad.”
Wow, some people are getting theirs already? Todays tracking history says:
At least it’s getting close …
@stolicat You are lucky. Mine is going the wrong direction.
@Barney Once USPS gets its hands on it is when the fun really begins!
Well mine is taking an 1800 mile detour… Grapevine TX to IL then, hopefully, back to MS. I’d guess it will take longer due to the predicted flooding here(10+ inches of rain predicted here in 36 hours). Apparently my IRK is taking the scenic route.
@Kidsandliz Well, place of origin is actually in Carrollton, but yeah, Grapevine is about 20 minutes away. Carrollton is the return address on my shipments, including my IRK. Same as it was for my woot! shipments back in the day.
USPS has it now: it was in LA, but then went to Sparks, NV, and now is in Reno, NV. Hitting the casinos, I guess …
@stolicat Maybe it will win something for you…
@Kidsandliz Aha! Just arrived at SF Distribution Center! They’re working on a Sunday?
@stolicat Mine finally left IN after being parked there since the 12th.
Mine was just delivered!
@ELUNO On a Sunday? Wow!
@therealjrn yeah it was scheduled for tomorrow and was surprised by the doorbell.
Using newgistics has filled me with even more regret:
https://www.yelp.com/biz/newgistics-austin
@focalpoint wow, those are some horrid reviews! Seems to be working here so far, but I expect the unreasonable delay stories to start soon …
@focalpoint Dang, never used them, and never will. North Austin, though, so hopefully I’d never run into this business.
@focalpoint Those reviews sound about right.
@Kidsandliz I got mine today! I need to take a picture and post it in the reveal section.
Nothing new since 3pm on the 12th
@medz :sad_panda:
@medz Same here.
Mine arrived yesterday, as did my smokeless grill. The green bag shape is totally meh.
Bag design is otherwise cute, though. Nice drawings, not at all meh.
New-meh here… is the a difference between fuko, fuku & i.r.k.? Just trying to figure all of this out.
@ashergrl Fuku was a lucky bag. Fuko was an unlucky bag. Now it’s called an I.R.K. (Instant Regret Kit). They are all various editions of Meh’s version of a grab bag. Some contain(ed) very good stuff, others just pure crap. What you get is just the luck of the draw.
Mine arrived at the local post office today. Maybe get it tomorrow.
@medz No updates on mine, but I did get some Meh stickers.
Mine says delivered but it’s not here. I’ll add it to the other meh packages I’ve ordered but have not received since they’ve gone to USPS
/giphy prayers
@riceatusc Perhaps you have a porch pirate?
Mine was delivered to the local PO yesterday, but too late to go out for delivery (there’s just one delivery guy, and he only makes one trip), so it was unceremoniously heaved over the gate today. It has stuff in it, decent stuff, nothing I would want or buy, but may keep anyway. I’d say regret level minimal, disappointment medium high.
Every time I look for arrival information, my I.R.K.'s arrival date gets pushed back by one day. Not gonna look anymore. Nope. Uh-uh. No way. No how.
Maybe just one more little peek?
@Barney Maybe they are saving the best for last? If your box stays there long enough it might become fuller since a bunch of us got boxes not completely taped shut. And so they’d need someone’s box to stuff in all the good stuff that fell out of ours
I hate it when “the man” screws me and
takesthings “fall out” out of my box@therealjrn
Is Newgistics being used to ship everything now, or just the I.R.K.s? If it’s being used for everything, I’m pretty sure I’ve made my last purchase (not that I’ve been finding much to buy recently). This is ridiculous and their Yelp reviews are atrocious with A LOT of accusations of them stealing return shipments.
Mine still says processing. No shipping info yet.
Still stuck in LA.
@whistlingwilly
Mine has been stuck in Carol Stream, IL since July 14th. Post Office told me the weight of it is 19 pounds, but I’ll have no idea what it is until Newgistics ever decides to hand it off to the Post Office.
@vaxick Sorry, nobody has written a song about being stuck in Carol Stream, IL
Maybe that’s am untapped market!
I finally have a tracking # !!! Thanks Megan @ meh. !! Yeah me!
Mine shipped on 7/10 like a good little IRK , made it to ATL by 7/12 and then apparently decided to hike the rest of the way to B’ham. Tracking ceased on July 12 and only resumed today july 25 just in time appear on the front porch at 1:23pm CDT. This is weirder than the old WOOT. Also heard from Megan @meh, who agreed that it seemed to have fallen off the truck, but wait till today to seek it out. Girl must be psychic !
@AnniKat weird on two levels.
@AnniKat that gives me some hope I’ll see mine. It hasn’t moved since July 14th.
@meh Weird on at least two levels, maybe 3,
I ALMOST bought two pillows yesterday, glad I didn’t since there were two duck down king size pillows in the IRK
@AnniKat
/giphy DUCK DOWN!
Anybody with a IRK still in limbo? Mine has been at the same location for 14 days now. Might have to contact Meh next week.
