@steelersluver Maybe if they $5 coupons could be applied to our monthly VMP fees… (sh’yeah right!) Still amazed at the nearly instant sell-out at this price though…
so now an additional $15 coupon for mediocritee - it’s usually one shirt for $14 or two for $21, so that brings it down to free or 2 for $3 each. ok that helps with my $20 IRK and I still gain on my $5 IRK. YAY! Go Meh LOL (not meaning to gloat to those who couldn’t snag an IRK earlier in the day at cheaper prices), but overall, it’s been an enlightening experiment and true to form at Meh.
So, are they gonna throw in a few EXTRA $5 Coupons to cover the extra SALES TAX folks will have to pay for these Inflationary IRK’s??
I paid 38-cents tax on my $5 IRK I scored at midnight; this one here would have been $5.25 for sales tax!! So you’ll actually LOSE the benefit of 1 coupon (or more) at these inflated prices!!
This is crazy. I didn’t want to buy one at $25 but I did. There’s no way I’m buying one at $70 or higher when there’s literally sh** in these boxes. The best IRK I got was my first one ever right when the name change happened. And even with that my wife was not impressed that I had spent $5 on all this sh**… I’m also just bitter because I blew my click streak yesterday.
@Felton10@Koolhandjoe@Sneakertree
Could have been straw sales just to make us think there are Mehtizens smart enough to pre-buy a metric crapton of $5 coupons with a free IRK.
So how are we going to be given ALL of these said coupons? Since warehouse workers aren’t going to know how much we’ve spent on our IRKS they can’t be putting coupon cards in the boxes!
I guarantee those aren’t native Yankees making all those alleged purchases in NH & Maine, must be those bougie Massholes coming up to enjoy the pastoral life!
It contains:
1 Black IRK bag
1 glass screen protector for iPhone X
2 identical 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles
1 pack of 5 sets of Justice League footie socks too small for us
1 AYMO permanent hair removal system with a card in it showing that NO ONE with white or red hair should ever use it Guess what color my hair is? Still this thing costs $75, which is actually more than I paid for the whole IRK
Was it worth it?
Yea I guess so; I bought at the 70 dollar level so I got stuff worth more than I paid even without the coupons.
Well, the $15 for Mediocratee would have been nicer to know earlier, but probably still wouldn’t have mattered for me since they poof so fast. Still by far the least mediocre mehrathon yet. On the edge of my seat with anticipation seeing how fast they sell out.
Well I for one have been needing a new IRK bag
They are ideal for toting Christmas or Birthday presents and I left my old one (from literally years ago) in a window, so the sun destroyed it.
Even if I fail to use all the coupons, it WAS WORTH IT.
Believe me I’ll use most of the coupons.
AHhhhhh, nope, not condoms. Personal? Yeah I supposed it is. Its the Miracle Back and Leg Lotion Applicator. This time of the year I got no problems but once the heat gets turned on come October (or earlier) I gotta have lotion on my skin. The wife has to put it on my back & I am tired of bugging her.
If I don’t apply lotion regularly, my skin will itch. I mean seriously itch including hives. Check out r/crazyitch on reddit if you wanna pictures that I go through. As long as I puts the lotion on the skin, (usually) no problem.
Unboxing. Mediocre…? Less than that, mediocre would be much better. It’s not like they didn’t warn me. edit: even the way they taped the box is less than mediocre. Unboxing
Do I have to stay an active member to retain the membership benefits?
Yes. Your membership is billed at the end of each active month of enrollment [emph mine, etc], so you are using benefits free until your renewal date. You may cancel your membership at any time and we’ll end your benefits and waive your partial-month bill.
Well, that’s not true. I just got charged for a full month already today.
Your initial payment activates your membership and begins your enrollment. Your membership will renew automatically month-to-month unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it.
That sounds better, but I think the last time I bought on, say, the 3rd, I was charged on the 3rd, and if I didn’t cancel, I was charged on the next 3rd “30ish” days later.
This makes it sound like I should’ve been charged a second time 60ish days later (2 months) after the first. Is that right?
but, if I have that right, from same page…
You may deactivate your membership at any time prior to your monthly renewal date. Your benefits will end immediately and we will waive all charges for your partial month of enrollment.
How is meh waiving the charges in the first month if I already paid?
Refunding? Then, just to be super clear, I’d have that page say exactly that – “If it’s your first month, you’ll be refunded fully. If it’s a subsequent month, if we didn’t accidentally ninja-charge you, we won’t, and if we did ninja-charge you, that was a huge mistake and we’ll refund you immediately plus interest.”
@sammydog01@stinks I had that happen to me like 2 year ago and I’m surprised they are still doing this. I hate having to deal with customer service. I don’t know about this place anymore, starting to feel a little sketchy.
@Bladesosteel I got a dyson vacuum cleaner after i first joined up and bought one of my first fuko bags. I actually got a fuko box shipment with a note inside telling me to look for another package headed my way. The second package arrived a few days later with the dyson vacuum cleaner and I was beyond thrilled with my $5 purchase!
I gave the dyson vacuum cleaner to my parents, as they needed a good vacuum cleaner. It was great and worked UNTIL Hurricane Harvey/ /tropical storm Harvey sat over Houston and SE Texas area for days raining non- stop! Parents house flooded and they were evacuated in a canoe with their dog, two small suitcases and moms wheel chair. That’s it —- Mom never got over this traumatic event and died in 2020.
So the point is they use to give great gifts randomly with the fuko or fukoburro bags but I never have received anything remotely valuable to me since then.
So $70 dollars seems to be the breaking/cut off point, as timer is almost out and 39 out of ( assuming ) 50 have been sold. Spoke too soon now sold out !
@Joedetroit Nope, by email this week. Hope it doesn’t sell out. Can I ask what it is, or is that too personal? (They seem to have a shit-ton of condoms to sell.)
Wells Customer Service has done me a solid
I complained cause my irk went to Bessemer instead of Birmingham and then had a “delivery exception” apparently it fell off the truck and got run over
CS said it met with an untimely end and have sent me another IRK !!!
I’m assuming it was run over in Bessemer cause we have an ongoing problem with boxes being left outside our garages door
My car is 12 so no backup camera, but it happens to hubby with a backup camera
@emagaw Standard default - all of them likely will initially read like this. Some do even after delivered and the box is huge with mostly unpackaged air in them.
@AnniKat It appears that there is a FedEx Ground Depot out in Bessemer. I don’t know if that’s where all of the deliveries for the Birmingham area are processed, but it’s possible.
Hmm FedEx used to come from Irondale. This particular one went from Texas to Ellenwood GA (on I20 which goes right thru Bham) to Irondale to Bessemer to my front porch in Homewood. Way too Far East, then a bit too far southwest then here it is
@AnniKat Ironwood is probably the old FedEx Ground depot for Bham, and I’m guessing that Bessemer is the location of the Fedex Home Delivery depot. The sizes look kind of right. They split the two delivery systems a while back for inscrutable reasons of their own. (For “possibly really stupid” values of “inscrutable”.)
“members who buy at least one IRK any time today will also get a $15 Mediocritee coupon to use over at mediocritee.com”
And the rich get richer.
@medz Bought before realizing that the one I bought at 8am would still qualify. I could cancel… but maybe I’ll hand out meh gift codes for Halloween?
@lehigh @medz So… Trick.
@medz Does this include VMP’s or Members only?
@medz @WUZUP1998 VMPs are considered members, I believe
@WUZUP1998 All VMPs are members but not all members are VMPs
@medz @WUZUP1998 all members are equal, but some members are more equal than others
@medz Fair enough - Glad I scored the $5 one then.
@WUZUP1998 @ybmuG
None are Mediocre for there is only Mercatalyst!
In for none! Thanks Meh!
Damn VMP worthlessness
No VMP Deal? Boo!
@steelersluver Maybe if they $5 coupons could be applied to our monthly VMP fees… (sh’yeah right!) Still amazed at the nearly instant sell-out at this price though…
@ciabelle I know, right? $70 is insanity. Even with the zillion $5 coupons.
/giphy boo!
Why am I still a VMP?
/8ball Is VMP still worth it?
Yes
/giphy too rich for my blood
so now an additional $15 coupon for mediocritee - it’s usually one shirt for $14 or two for $21, so that brings it down to free or 2 for $3 each. ok that helps with my $20 IRK and I still gain on my $5 IRK. YAY! Go Meh LOL (not meaning to gloat to those who couldn’t snag an IRK earlier in the day at cheaper prices), but overall, it’s been an enlightening experiment and true to form at Meh.
@hammi99 Yeah, that $15 coupon is really awesome! I don’t know if it comes to the people who bought last night, though.
WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
WTF, where’s the VMP?
/giphy cajones
IRKs for rich people.
I need to invent a Stub Hub for IRKs.
@nemo2005 I think it’s called eBay.
@Kyeh @nemo2005
So, are they gonna throw in a few EXTRA $5 Coupons to cover the extra SALES TAX folks will have to pay for these Inflationary IRK’s??

/8ball if I buy the $100 IRK, will I also win the lottery?
My reply is no
DAMNIT!!
/8ball Will there even be a $100 IRK today?
Very doubtful
/giphy counting money
Wonder if @koolhandjoe gets a percentage from all these over priced IRKs.
@Felton10 id pay $70 for a koolhandjoe assembled IRK anyday.
@Felton10 @Sneakertree that is an interesting idea…
@Koolhandjoe @Sneakertree Someone got rich from yesterday’s IRK-a-thon. Hope it just wasn’t the guy who sold Woot to amazon for millions.
@Felton10 @Koolhandjoe @Sneakertree
Could have been straw sales just to make us think there are Mehtizens smart enough to pre-buy a metric crapton of $5 coupons with a free IRK.
Just like the NFT markets…
/giphy haggard-unlikely-idea
I may be stupid. No one tell my wife.
@riceatusc Hey Ms. Usc give me a call.
So how are we going to be given ALL of these said coupons? Since warehouse workers aren’t going to know how much we’ve spent on our IRKS they can’t be putting coupon cards in the boxes!
@Lynnerizer They’re probably going to be virtual. Which would mean you can’t give them to anyone else, unless you place the order for them.
@Kyeh @Lynnerizer Oh, good point! Hmmm…
@Kyeh
I was thinking about how many would be given away. So you mean they’ll apply them to our account?
@Lynnerizer Yes, they’ll keep track of how many you got and deduct one each time you use one, I think.
I guarantee those aren’t native Yankees making all those alleged purchases in NH & Maine, must be those bougie Massholes coming up to enjoy the pastoral life!
@ircon96
@aquastardreamer Boston? Southie? Wist-ah?
@ircon96 lol
@aquastardreamer
Ooh ooh ooh I’m actually super stoked for the mediocritee coupon! Wonder if it applies for people that could only afford the $5 irk.
@Sneakertree It does say:

You’ve hit a new low, Meh.
@Madboy121 They’ve hit a new HIGH!
@Madboy121 So they became meher?
No spank you verrry much
Wow, I am shocked these are selling out at this price!
Was VMP watching this time, to no useful purpose. Back to whale watching

@Joedetroit
So, five stars?
“Performed as directed by management”
@Joedetroit I like your teeshirt.
@Kyeh thanks, but it’s actually my son’s teeshirt. I was recording this time. We do love out teeshirts!
@Joedetroit Oh, okay - well, it’s a nice one. Too bad no tees in the Irks!
The Claws Fit!
NO WAY
Okay, look, there has to be a way that the membership doesn’t go through if the purchase doesn’t.
Back to customer service I go?
@stinks You can cancel the membership within a month for a full refund. As long as you haven’t ordered anything.
@stinks huh?
@sammydog01 @stinks thanks for this!
@sammydog01 I’ve never been smart enough to be able to understand exactly how that works.
https://meh.com/membership
Well, that’s not true. I just got charged for a full month already today.
Okay, so let’s try over here… https://meh.com/membership/agreement
That sounds better, but I think the last time I bought on, say, the 3rd, I was charged on the 3rd, and if I didn’t cancel, I was charged on the next 3rd “30ish” days later.
This makes it sound like I should’ve been charged a second time 60ish days later (2 months) after the first. Is that right?

If it’s a subsequent month, if we didn’t accidentally ninja-charge you, we won’t, and if we did ninja-charge you, that was a huge mistake and we’ll refund you immediately plus interest.”
Maybe not the interest part.
Anyhow, plain English not it is me to.
@sammydog01 @stinks I had that happen to me like 2 year ago and I’m surprised they are still doing this. I hate having to deal with customer service. I don’t know about this place anymore, starting to feel a little sketchy.
Really feel like the post 10pm IRK drop needs to be an auction, with gift card equivalents handed out regardless of final bid
Don’t see too many people bragging about scoring $70 IRKS!! Especially when they’re promised to be NO DIFFERENT than the $5 ones!!
Hmmm…
@Lynnerizer YMMV
$70???
/giphy thats-outrageous
Have any of these things ever had something really random and awesome like the old WOOT Bag of Crap?
WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
@Bladesosteel I once received a new Playstation 5.
@cbilyak Did you sell it for $5?
@Bladesosteel @cbilyak
@Felton10 got a new game station also, can’t remember which one.
@Bladesosteel I got a pair of boots I was able to sell for over $100, but that was my highest paying item
@Bladesosteel I got a dyson vacuum cleaner after i first joined up and bought one of my first fuko bags. I actually got a fuko box shipment with a note inside telling me to look for another package headed my way. The second package arrived a few days later with the dyson vacuum cleaner and I was beyond thrilled with my $5 purchase!

@Bladesosteel @cbilyak @Kyeh Got new, unused, and unregistered x-box series X.
@Bladesosteel @cbilyak Think me and cbilyak got the 2 best items ever.
@Bladesosteel nope, I have a son and a husband…the thing gets some use!
@Bladesosteel @cbilyak I gave mine to my son
@Bladesosteel In my very first one, I received a brand new in the box 65" TV. So, for me, yeah.
I was gonna brag about KS not being involved in the inflated IRKs. Doggone it, can’t anymore.
@SylvreKat Wyoming finally stopped, I see.
So $70 dollars seems to be the breaking/cut off point, as timer is almost out and 39 out of ( assuming ) 50 have been sold. Spoke too soon now sold out !
So these coupons…? They will be in the IRK? I found something on Sidedeal I actually want. The IRK shipped, I gotta wait.
@Joedetroit Nope, by email this week. Hope it doesn’t sell out. Can I ask what it is, or is that too personal? (They seem to have a shit-ton of condoms to sell.)
