@katbyter Remember when they sent out free socks and said VMPs would get free stuff periodically? I never got anything after the socks! But now that nobody can join, it’s a threat of if you quit, you’re gone for good!
@Jamileigh17 Sadly I don’t drink, but I sure enjoy the Casemates kickstarter shirt!
I’d say I make 6-8 purchases a year across the various sites, so with the deals I get, yeah, it’s probably still worth it. Looking forward to my 20lbs of pasta, wife doesn’t know about it yet…
@Kyser_Soze was the the scary lizard in the bottom of the screen and that was you running away? I think i bought an old video camera of yours off of eBay. This was on it. It took me a while to transfer this video into a .gif, but it was worth it.
FYI, I also have that cheeze doodler that was on prior to this purchase. That doodler has been used one time…
I’m hoping, this kit will be used at least 3.14 times.
Sheeit I needed a new bag, otherwise I woulda regretted this damn shit. I wish my grandma was alive so I could give her that cosmetic bag only so that she can turn around and slap me with it.
That’s ok, I know that SOMEDAY Meh will recognize my dedication to ridiculous obsolete electronics I do not need, and send me that pallet of Martian watches they’ve been eyeballing with increasing despair.
Hmmm. It seems my kit has decided to come right to the Pitney Bowes distribution center in my NY town, and then ship right back to the mothership in Texas. Must have scared it off.

@nemo2005 Unfortunately that sounds about right. Mine did a round trip too and then back again (TX, IN, TX, IN) then to my post office, then to another one, then in transit to unknown destination, then showed up while still listed as in transit. After it showed up the tracking was changed retroactively and got rid of some of its wandering path. Who knows where it really was.
My IRK miraculously showed up this morning in a very light box. It included a black IRK bag, a very fancy overnight bag, a meh popsocket, some wine stoppers, and some nail polish to prevent you from biting your nails. It was a cromulent haul. I can’t complain.
@willdavi Ive been vmp for years and have only ever gotten 2 Fuko/IRK it drives me insane that only when its a IRK do they ask if I’m a robot and then ask me to select which picture has a car or something.
@dtwsportsfan@willdavi Yup, those of us with slow internet get screwed pretty consistently. I liked the choose-your-own-adventure; it was fun and, wonder of wonders, I got an IRK!
Thank you for still having the VMP ones! I know there’s not THAT many of us left, but it’s nice to know on Mehrathons I don’t have to fight for an IRK. Especially when I’m not really shopping a lot otherwise. (I mostly use it for the free shipping on casemates, well worth it!)
@moonhat The first year was from the kickstarter. VMP still gets free shipping there/the rest of the sites on the homepage’s lower left. And considering it’s a buck per bottle, that adds up!
Med size sports bra, small cosmetic bag, tamo phone case for iphone 6, scraf, black IRK bag, wine stoppers. I am happy just to get one and get the bag so you will not see me bitching. Mom took the scraf wife took the cosmetic bag and will give wine stoppers to alcoholic brother and I keep the bag very happy for five bucks.
It arrived today in a robotic vacuum box. It contained a USB plugin charger, three wine bottle stoppers and a broken roomba clone with half the pieces. In the end I got an IRK bag and USB charger I don’t need. I’d do it again! #NoRagrets
Mine departed the local shipping partner facility 11 days ago and has been stuck at that stage ever since. The USPS is still awaiting item. I think my IRK is lost in the mail.
This is my first Irk. But have had 3 fuko bags. This is the best by far. Finally the wife didn’t yell at me for receiving a bunch of crap. She got a new vacuum and is happy as can be
I got fooled last time by the VMP thing, turns out I’ve only been a paid member of this site for years, but not enough years. From the comments it sounds like other people are discovering the same thing…
Where oh where’s my instant regret kit?
I though I had it here in my hand.
I clicked through the checkout and tried “enough Already,”
The web site came back with a (MEH) It was gone.
Personally, I always try to get the regular offering and only rely on the VMP as a safety net…there is no guarantee they will always have VMP hour and even then you could be shut out
@arbdef contact support and let them know. FYI They are taking 5+ days to respond to people because they are so backed up with messages.They do honor that the irks are supposed to have a bag.
Pretty lousy. A bag plus:
6 pink 6 foot DC car charge paks
Another USB cable - 4461983 - can’t find
Another USB cable - Tamo charge-N-glow micro
2 hair ribbons
@coblebaby@vponce@kristikwhite You are all Members, not Very Mediocre People. VMP was discontinued. As mentioned above, those with the V shield are VMP and those with the hearts are Members.
@ShotgunX my husband got both but he isn’t VMP. He got the one during midnight. I tried and it is the first time I told me I couldn’t get another one - crazy . . . Guess Mediocrebot is playing a prank on me!!!
@ShotgunX not my first rodeo . . . . hubby has his own card and account and purchased on his own computer while I snoozed. When I tried the VMP I was on my phone and signed into my account . . . figure there was a glitch in the Matrix or @mediocrebot was
/giphy playing-tricks again
I got one and they sold out instantly. Looks like there are still 250 vmp’s left which is kinda surprising since the offerings have been so bad lately.
@dino2269 did you have to verify you were not a robot then click on boxes that had cars or bridges? I only get that when its IRK. Im still VMP, and ur right not much for us these days.
I call total bullshit - the page would not load (just this IRK page, all others load fine) then its sold out before I can hit the captcha - not a very happy VMP member at the moment
Are all of these for VMP’s only? Or, just this one? I was watching throughout the day, but then realized that I couldn’t have bought these even if I got through.
Ahhhhh, I missed it. Busy with work. I even set an outlook reminder, but I didn’t see it pop up - got burried under other windows. Dang it. Congrats to those of you lucky - or unlucky - VMPs and kickstarters who scored one.
RMA’d mPulse Go black BT speaker. Initial checkout: it works plugged in to USB power (pairs, plays), but looks like the battery is kaput as it never charges. This will get a teardown.
Propel Orbit HD drone bits, including the remote, drone, battery, battery charger, cable, spare blades and tools, 8G microSD and reader. Quick-check shows it works.
3 2-packs of Lucas alkaline AA cells (the drone remote takes 6 AA).
DC Car Charge Pack in pink (12V USB accessory charger with 6’ old Apple 30-pin plug cable).
Michael Kors snap-on iPhone 5/5s plastic case.
3 pairs of Jessica Simpson earrings. Gold tone, heavy. Must have steel core because the magnet grabs 'em. They look like rings of specialty opening tools.
Mine was exceptionally bad this time around. Usually they’re at least decent, but this one downright offended me.
2 iPhone cases of some sort
Vestia Wine Stopper set (lucky in a way, since I have the sealer from a previous purchase)
IRK bag
And the pièce de résistance, a black Bluetooth headset/earbud thing that looked and smelled like it had seen the inside of someone’s asshole. I seriously don’t know why they bothered shipping something like that and not throwing it in the trash at the warehouse, because that’s exactly what I did. First item from an IRK I’ve ever chucked into the garbage like that.
I got:
1 - cardboard box
1 - black irk bag
2 - camo trucker hats
1 - Monster screen cleaning kit
1 - ceramic knife (awesome!)
1 - mystery gift that was wrapped, turned out to be ladies in-ear headphones.

I GOT ONE FINALLY!!! 4 years of VMP membership leading up to this moment!
Everyone who stays VMP without ordering anything for a year should get a “free” IRK.
@katbyter I was at 4 months before this IRK.
@katbyter Remember when they sent out free socks and said VMPs would get free stuff periodically? I never got anything after the socks! But now that nobody can join, it’s a threat of if you quit, you’re gone for good!
yaaaaaaaaaas. Though let’s be honest, if all I ever buy is IRKs, is it really worth the VMP price?
/giphy frail-elicit-loris
@smigit2002 Depends if you’re also using any of the free shipping on their other tites. It more than pays for itself for me on Casemates orders.
@smigit2002 Your giphy says it all! haha
@smigit2002
/giphy yes
@Jamileigh17 Sadly I don’t drink, but I sure enjoy the Casemates kickstarter shirt!
I’d say I make 6-8 purchases a year across the various sites, so with the deals I get, yeah, it’s probably still worth it. Looking forward to my 20lbs of pasta, wife doesn’t know about it yet…
$60 a year for 5 years for one pair of socks, free shipping, and this! Thanks, meh-rcatalyst!
/giphy efficient-soggy-osprey
well hell I hope that mine is russian.

Of course. I cancel my VMP… this month of all months because of getting a paycut. After holding on to it all this time it finally bites me in the ass.
@zachary ouch
Meh - heh - heh…

@Kyser_Soze was the the scary lizard in the bottom of the screen and that was you running away? I think i bought an old video camera of yours off of eBay. This was on it. It took me a while to transfer this video into a .gif, but it was worth it.

Ugh mine has been stuck at a “Partner facility” since monday. I am guessing it got lost in the process somewhere.
@arbdef I think they must be backed up like crazy. Mine sat at one for four days.
@arbdef Mine, too. I think it has been like that since Saturday.

@Jamileigh17 there is still free shipping on casemates ? For some reason I thought it was just that first year
@Jamileigh17 Apparently there are a lot of us left since it sold out reasonably quick.
@moonhat The first year was from the kickstarter. VMP still gets free shipping there/the rest of the sites on the homepage’s lower left. And considering it’s a buck per bottle, that adds up!
finally, my first one since my last in 2006.
@stickscalhoun 2006???
@PocketBrain I have not had … great luck (and lived outside the US for 5 years)
@stickscalhoun Point being, Meh was founded in 2014, so you must have been living outside spacetime, as well.
@PocketBrain Maybe @stickscalhoun is an old Wooter and counting bags of crap as well?

There are more than 251 VMPs left – never would have guessed there were still that many.

@cinoclav Thanks for that explanation. I didn’t see it earlier and that helps shed some light.
Tried to buy and was told I couldn’t buy anymore. Ummm didn’t buy one ay all during this session. Last one was in January
Hmmm. Wonder if the April Fools side deal kept me away from this IRK???

@trlenoir Nope, I got both.
@ShotgunX my husband got both but he isn’t VMP. He got the one during midnight. I tried and it is the first time I told me I couldn’t get another one - crazy . . . Guess Mediocrebot is playing a prank on me!!!

@ekawaguchi @Kyser_Soze Members pay $4.99 though so this may confuse them. There are two types of membership.
@ekawaguchi @sammydog01 WTF! What do they get for a penny less?
Whats a VMP?

It’s like you instantly regret NOT getting the IRK. So that should cancel out the regret and leave you feeling meh.
Pantopon in the IRK?
Ahhhhh, I missed it. Busy with work. I even set an outlook reminder, but I didn’t see it pop up - got burried under other windows. Dang it. Congrats to those of you lucky - or unlucky - VMPs and kickstarters who scored one.
@DJP519 I’d guess there is likely at least one more left today… although not VMP

Yay! Mine shipped! Just another 1-2 more weeks before the big regret!
Just tracked mine. Shipped from Dallas to Denver and is currently in… Indiana? Regrettable routing delays regrettable openings, i suppose.
Hoping there will be more IRKs today.
@littlebadparrot This was the IRK from last month that you’re replying to.
I missed it! I picked a hell of a time to help my kid with math.
My IRK thus far:
I’ll probably follow with pictures.
Mine still shows:
May 20, 2020 at 4:57 pm
Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item
GREENWOOD, IN 46143
Seems slow…
Stuck at Pitney Bowes grapevine since May 13th. 15 days and counting. Hopefully it’s not chocolate… Or puppies.
Mine was exceptionally bad this time around. Usually they’re at least decent, but this one downright offended me.
I got:
1 - cardboard box
1 - black irk bag
2 - camo trucker hats
1 - Monster screen cleaning kit
1 - ceramic knife (awesome!)
1 - mystery gift that was wrapped, turned out to be ladies in-ear headphones.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@Kyser_Soze My daughter’s dog likes boxes. It has to “rest” for 3 days because of covid-19, then he gets to use it like this box.
@Kyser_Soze Your dog is a cat I think.
