Infinite Regret Kit Reveal 2018-2019
2I think this deserves its own thread.
1 x Big Headache!
Don’t know if anyone saw my post in the “Oh Em Gee - I.R.K. Shipping Thread” but it did turn out to be really, really regrettable.
After countless hours on the phone with Fed Ex because the package stopped moving, Fed Ex is telling me the package is too damaged to deliver. I told them that’s what I ordered. Please deliver it. They said tough shit, or something to that effect. Contact the shipper.
So this isn’t just meh. Or mediocre. It’s a frustratingly huge disappointment! You put the time in on the computer to nab one of these and then all the time on the phone with Fed Ex…
I have contacted customer service. No reply as of yet.

Customer service is a little backed up. They will get back to you.
@RiotDemon I’m sure they will. I just wanted to avoid comments suggesting contact them.
@jimmyjoemeeker Your front porch is really pretty.
@jimmyjoemeeker @sammydog01 that’s a big front porch, could fit a lot of broken Led fidget spinners on that… Many thousands of candy corns.
@jimmyjoemeeker @OnionSoup It would be really fun to decorate for Halloween too.
@RiotDemon Day one on the job as moderator and you’ve already helped someone and earned your pay cheque.
They should give you a promotion. Chief Glen operator.
@sammydog01 Thanks! I just showed it to my wife. She likes it, too! (stock photo)
@sammydog01 The kids tend to gravitate towards the garage at Halloween
@OnionSoup And if there’s too much or it’s too big for the porch, Meh is welcome to put it in the driveway.
Has anybody suggested contacting meh.com support?

@therealjrn
@therealjrn @unksol definitely
/giphy troll
@RiotDemon @unksol What? Is contacting support a troll? I see people recommend that all the time around here.
Perhaps I should be relieved my IRK was actually delivered. The box was carefully laid on my porch upside down. The original bottom tape had completely worn thru so the bottom box flaps were competely free to the point were had the box been lifted right side up, the contents would have fallen out.
@RedOak We probably need to “toilet paper” the meh warehouse with tape, packets of texas air (the poo spray debacle)…
@RedOak Mine was obviously in bad shape from the start. Fed Ex initially refused to take it. Someone at meh must’ve talked them into taking it.
@RedOak PS at least you had something in your box. I had one arrive empty, mostly untaped on the top, several fukos back.
@Kidsandliz @RedOak They sent you a replacement for that, right? So it’s not like you lost out.
@Kidsandliz - That story sounds familiar.
@sammydog01 I only kind of got a replacement. I got a fuko bag, a meh sticker, a meh branded hockey puck. I think that was it.
@Kidsandliz @RedOak Poo spray debacle? I figured something was up with that order too, especially since it appears mine is keeping the Quip brushes company.
You have to pay double price for an Irk with a non smashed box.
@OnionSoup And triple if you want the lid taped shut and texas air used when necessary.

Dear Mr. Meeker:
Thank you for contacting FedEx. We regret the delay in our response to your concern.
Please be advised that your package was sent via our FedEx SmartPost Service. This is a residential delivery solution for high volume shippers in the e-tailing and catalog segments.
According to our records, the package was unable to deliver due to damaged package. At this point, may we advise you to contact your shipper to make arrangements for a replacement or a refund for this shipment. For more information, please point your browser to: http://www.fedex.com/us/smartpost/
Thank you for your patience in this matter, and thank you for shipping with FedEx.

My last Fuko arrived with a box that had a side torn out, re-taped from the inside, with another package from FedEx INSIDE the “sealed” box. The package lost 20 lbs during transit and was 95% empty with some small junk remaining. CS responded saying “looks like a fuko to me” and that was the end of it.
FedEx refuses to look into any damaged product by customers request, only the sellers. Meh said “that’s how it should be” with a 4 foot tall having 3 small items in it and dropping 20 lbs. So that’s where it ended. I wouldn’t hold my breath on making any real headway on any front…
@Raider The stats on the package size and weight are often totally wrong. A big box with very little in it is also common - although since yours had a repaired hole likely you are right and stuff fell out.
@Kidsandliz It was very concerning that a totally unreleated package, from an unconnected company, being sent to a totally different area was inside my sealed box. Yet there was no investigation triggered as to how this might happen.
Based on similar size and weight specs by other recipients I’m fairly certain a large item was swiped in the process. It would have been nice for FedEx to have an investigation triggered, as not first package received that was cleared pulled open. Meh packed and shipped a package, they fulfilled their job. FedEx on the other hand… (and oddly final delivery was performed by FedEx, not USPS). But even this was not enough to have anything done. After this I give up on having an shipper face repercussions for damaged/robbed packages.
New I.R.K. is on the way. I don’t have my hopes up seeing how some other replacements went…
Sorry you missed out on getting an I.R.K.? Think your’s was barely worth the money. Want to get rid of some (decent) stuff for a crap shoot of getting more (decent) stuff? Well then sign up for the (unofficial) Mehrican Exchange #8.
Read all about it here
https://meh.com/forum/topics/unofficial-mehrican-exchange-ver--8-0-sign-up-now
and follow the link on that thread to the sign up sheet.
Deadline to sign up is 1/21/19
@Kidsandliz Sounds like fun! Will be signing up.
January 17th still no package. I live in Wilmington NC the package has been in transit to the post office in Wilmington NC since January 4th. I have reached out to Fedex and have the same disappointing experience them asking me the size and weight of the shipping and me copying and pasting the info from their website and sending it back to them. I sent a e-mail also to Meh.com yesterday evening. The wait continues.
@dino2269
You want another mystery box? Then sign up for the (unofficial mehrican exchange).
Due to the generosity of two people we now have an added special component to this exchange - several of you will receive a mystery box as a bonus present. If you are signed up for the exchange you are automatically entered to be a possible winner. I am in conversation with the donors on how they’d like to proceed (I figure their boxes, their money, their choice).
If you have signed up and DON’T want to be part of this, please let me know.
So far the odds of winning one of these boxes is far higher than the odds of getting a fuko/I.R.K. So sign up and join the fun!!!

1 x used/returned 360 Fly HD missing mounts. Definitely interesting!
1 x possibly used/returned advanced facial cleansing brush. Ummm…
1 x Foster Grant sunglasses hmm… no retail packaging. Hope no gets pink eye from them!
1 x 6 outlet with USB surge protector Useful!
1 x Universal clip lens for cell phones. Now I can throw away the Nikon!
1 x Qi wireless charging pad. I wonder if Scrabble will stop allowing the word qi because now it’s a name?
1 x Gabba Goods 3 piece gift set. The power bank might be useful but pink just isn’t my color.
1 x QVC Air Crawler drone. In a sealed package!!! Will be useful on those days when I can’t fly the real thing outside.
1 x Rowkin wireless earbuds. For those days when you just HAVE to irradiate both sides of your brain with blue tooth radio waves!

Very meh! But infinitely regrettable because I will always wonder what was in that other I.R.K…
@jimmyjoemeeker Probably stuff not as good as this- score!
@sammydog01 The world may never know…
