Finally snagging a bag
Me: It’s going to be fantastically awful!
Wife: Why did you buy that? Package arrives with all feminine products
Me: It’s awful…
Wife: It’s fantastic!
Happened yesterday:
Kid: Remember that mystery bag thing you bought?
(she was there when I scored it)
Me: Yeah. They said we wouldn’t get it before Christmas, so it hasn’t shipped yet.
Kid: Tell them to hurry up.
Welp, shipping notification is in my inbox, just as Im leaving for vacation, figures, lol. I dont know why I keep doing this to myself though, I just dropped off a load of crap at goodwill from my last BOC.
For those who got this IR Kit, I received mine today and it included the following:
Meshare wireless camera
unbranded Wireless AirBuds
5-in-1 Universal Clip Lens (clip on camera phone lenses)
Gabba Goods Dash Cam Witness
case of 6 Monster 7’ USB cables (USB A to USB B connection)
Bamboo Slimming Bodysuit
Angelina sports bra
@Moodog If you had posted faster I could have given you the Slimming Bodysuit and sports bra out of my IRK. But unfortunately I donated them to Goodwill this morning.
Man this sucks, I can never get one. I wish they limited how many someone could get in a year or something to give more people a chance. I tried three times today but before I could get the approval it sells out
Every time this comes up I have to prove I’m not a robot then it’s gone. I missed out on the 5 puzzles too even after it said I got them. This is getting to be a freaking pain Plus I have issues with depth perception so it takes me twice as long
AArrgghh - Perfect refresh execution, had the buy screen up and blew it because I forgot to click the shipping option button! By the time I caught it …
/giphy too slow
@SteveL I had to check the box, select store fronts, and still clicked the box again. But I got one! Honestly didn’t think I would, felt like it took too long.
I had to click captcha and still got one. I am the most l337 robot here. Nah real tip tho…I just upgraded to my 56k flex modem and kept reconnecting till I got 53k connection so I could hack into the kitz
@megnla Yeah what’s the policy on broken stuff in an IRK? I got the Gabba Goods earpods and one had come apart (it was clearly a return, too, since the box was open and the pods were in the charging dock instead of their spot in the packaging).
@Barney@sammydog01 I’m OK with it even if “you own broken crap” is the answer. For my $5 I got some stuff to donate to Goodwill, broken earbuds, a wireless charging pad that I can use that would have cost me >= $5 anyway, and anticipation of getting something by surprise. That’s what fukos are all about
WTFFF is the deal with the DAMN “Pass this vision test” before permission to buy? I had an IRK the millisecond it came onscreen but…NOOOOOOOOOO!
I took too long figuring out WTF was a car and what wasn’t. Now I am IRKED!!!
@mrallen1 Now I get it…I didn’t realize, never having snagged one, that the picture of the bag should’ve been there! Thx for the info! There’ll be a next time! Lol
Here is how it works. I’m on my phone, I tap buy, it loads the page showing the robot checkbox, I tap the checkbox, it loads my address, I munge my address, GAME OVER MAN.
You may all think I’m a tad crazy but I have yet to open my “THE FINAL FUKOBUKURO”. That combined with my ability to aquire an IRK-1 will be a splendid opportunity to open both together in some not really important handoff like fashion.
@stuntdriver my last fuko, i opened the box, saw i had what must be the crappiest fuko ever. Folded the box back up and there it still sits. Nothing has been taken out. It was that bad.
@stuntdriver Wow… how can you resist, I am impressed. I am already ready to open the one just got yesterday but sadly looks like not until next year!
Then thinking about getting together with a couple other friends here that were able to snag them as well and might have to wait a few days after it arrives to get together, that will be torturous!
@raccoon81 it was the last one I’d ever get, I got the Kickstarter Fuko as well as other along the way with many more purchases… But getting in on IRK-1 well that is a reason to celebrate!!
My shipping notice showed up a few days ago. Should arrive on Thursday. And they finally updated the package info today. Looks like 5.6 lbs and 14x10x12 in size.
Opened up my IRK a couple of days ago. Unusual items: Antonio Collection plush robe
(3) Ashley Chloe iPhone 6 cases
Adjustable dry measuring cup
Plazatex hand towel
Set of two Press Dome lids.
(2) black lacey “shape you” undergarments
A pair of planter faciaitis (sp) socks
A pair of stretch pants size large
A 2014 pioneer VSX-524-k receiver - iPod AND iPod touch compatible
The original box was what my kit was shipped in.
Address label slapped right on the pioneer box.
I don’t know if it works or not, it looks new with the exception that it’s 5 yes old and was opened at some point to toss docks and pants in… it I don’t have any speakers so I can’t hook it up lol…
Amiable-deaf-dime…persistence mother fuckers! Boom shaka laka
Oh God. I just got one. I think it’s going to be full of 160 dead LED speaker docks…
@mrallen1 You wish.
@mrallen1 haha, you can only hope to be that lucky.
@mrallen1 be careful what you wish for
@mrallen1 maybe special toothbrushes
@hachover If they have dead LEDs I am satisfied with that.
@mrallen1 More like 160 fidget spinners.
Even when you win…you still somehow lose…
/giphy zealous-adorable-toast
guys they did surgery on a GRAPE
@zanderman72 I still think the fact they stitched up the grape was more impressive than the cut in surgery.
Awesome! Merry Christmas Meh!
/giphy flirtatious-indented-range
I can’t believe it I got one! I want to unblame our wonderful goat…sorry goat
/giphy forthright-lolling-trade
@candiedisilvio1 Congrats!
somehow snagged it on the phone!
thanks meh. i take back all the recent criticisms
Finally snagging a bag
Me: It’s going to be fantastically awful!
Wife: Why did you buy that?
Package arrives with all feminine products
Me: It’s awful…
Wife: It’s fantastic!

/giphy gushy-generous-wing
Got one!!!
Why did I purchase this?
/giphy spicy-watchful-mentalist
Finally!
/giphy fumbling-unimportant-property
my first one ever, and I already regret it!
Yaas! I’ve only been able to check in sporadically today and figured there was no way I was getting one this time. Got it though! Bring on the IRKs!
Woohoo
/giphy fluid indigo lager
Finally, impatiently watching the countdown timer pays off!
/giphy reckless-grassy-zinc
Woo! First one! /giphy mountainous-soaking-plastic
@judy FYI, the /giphy needs to start on a new line like so:
/giphy mountainous-soaking-plastic
Tried two of the earlier ones today and missed, but scored an IRK this time! I do regret it already, though!

Meh!
/giphy gray-moody-curry
I’ve gotten some real crappy ones the past few times I’ve “won” fukus. I’m expecting no better than the worst again this time. Can’t wait.

/giphy hurry up

Yay! My first IRK!!!
Finally. Got one.
Wooohooo!
Yaaaaaay!
/giphy cheerful-craptacular-fighter
Glad to have got one after I missed the VMP regret
Granted, I kind of forgot about this for the majority of the day… I’m kind of the worst
@smigit2002 Likewise! I thought I’d missed the best chance I had of getting one today, but I snagged one this go 'round.
I still think the fact they stitched up the grape was more impressive than the cut in surgery.
@todaresq Hmmm good point chief
And my streak of not getting a fuku/fuko/irk continues
Two robot verifications…no shot
/giphy understood-entertaining-mailbox
wooooooo, first bag ever, been on here for YEARS!
Why did make me re-enter my card number now?!? It didn’t do that 10 minutes ago!
OMG…I actually got one!! Has been a really looooong dry spell. Merry Christmas to me!
Yes!! First one since April Fool’s
Finally!! I can’t wait to regret this even more than I already do
So, um, I didn’t get one, but I did get signed up and charged for a month of not-VMP.
/giphy instant regret double whammy
@stinks Send a note to support to cancel it.
dang it - the buy button would not work for me - then I noticed I hadnt specified shipping
@aaee I made the same mistake
Woooohooooo!!! I hope I’m terribly disappointed!
Man this sucks, I can never get one. I wish they limited how many someone could get in a year or something to give more people a chance. I tried three times today but before I could get the approval it sells out
/giphy ashamed-ungrateful-puma
Yo, the captcha you’re using for mobile users is a bit of a Richard move. Just sayin’.
Every time this comes up I have to prove I’m not a robot then it’s gone. I missed out on the 5 puzzles too even after it said I got them. This is getting to be a freaking pain Plus I have issues with depth perception so it takes me twice as long
AArrgghh - Perfect refresh execution, had the buy screen up and blew it because I forgot to click the shipping option button! By the time I caught it …
/giphy too slow
Got one finally! First irk
/giphy amusingly-buttoned-act
/giphy light-sweaty-barnacle
Are you serious? How come I have to pick recapcha and people sitting right next to me don’t? Meh has IRKed me for the last time. Signing off!!!
@SteveL I had to check the box, select store fronts, and still clicked the box again. But I got one! Honestly didn’t think I would, felt like it took too long.
its been a while but scored a bag . thanks meh .
Knew there would be one more and after missing VMP one, got it.
/giphy hexperienced-faint-hippopotamus
I had to click captcha and still got one. I am the most l337 robot here. Nah real tip tho…I just upgraded to my 56k flex modem and kept reconnecting till I got 53k connection so I could hack into the kitz
It’s been a while
/giphy garbled-seductive-crime
Got one!
/giphy icy-fumbling-scrooge
Maybe it bothers me more than it should!!
/image irk
This is the first one that sucks. Speaker dock for old iPhone connection and Bluetooth earbuds that were already opened and broken. Lame
@megnla Yeah what’s the policy on broken stuff in an IRK? I got the Gabba Goods earpods and one had come apart (it was clearly a return, too, since the box was open and the pods were in the charging dock instead of their spot in the packaging).
@kensey not sure. I sent email to meh support but haven’t heard back.
@kensey @megnla The policy is that you now own broken stuff. Congratulations!
@sammydog01 It always amazes me the number of people who buy fukus/fukos/I.R.Ks who have no clue about what they are about.
@Barney @sammydog01 I’m OK with it even if “you own broken crap” is the answer. For my $5 I got some stuff to donate to Goodwill, broken earbuds, a wireless charging pad that I can use that would have cost me >= $5 anyway, and anticipation of getting something by surprise. That’s what fukos are all about
@Barney @kensey
/giphy That’s the spirit!
@kensey I hope you get another I.R.K next time – without the broken crap.
Phbbtht!
/buy
@ticklescratch Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
YESSSSSSS
IRK me baby!
Epic fail, thanks to the damned recapcha… I hate those things.
really 3.5 seconds on the regret bundle
I am irked due to lack of irk.
Damn it
Like I said earlier- I would feel guilty with this being my only meh purchase lol
Got excited, then remembered I already scored one. Enjoy!
I’m hoping they’re still canceling double-dipper orders.
WTH - I’m not a robot but MEH didn’t like my check box because it kept telling me I couldn’t buy if I’m a robot.
I checked the damn box!!!
Yay me!!! Thank you meh!:) mehrry xmas!
I did not get one. But even if the stuff in them are junk, I still like the bags.
Gaaaaaaaaa!
Not a captcha friend.
I missed it again
I tried at each one. Yes it would be nice to limit to those who haven’t gotten in a year like an earlier poster said. Bags are nice
I clicked the button, then it complained
@kdemo wtf?
WTFFF is the deal with the DAMN “Pass this vision test” before permission to buy? I had an IRK the millisecond it came onscreen but…NOOOOOOOOOO!
I took too long figuring out WTF was a car and what wasn’t. Now I am IRKED!!!
Sure…Let Everyone get a Fuku I.R.K. Why don’t ya, make it unspecial for us all.
Someday will be irk day for me. Need to have more contests for them, at least those give me some hope. TTxTT
Why did it tell me “What stuff do you want to buy today?” And then an error message when I hit “buy!” ??? Big Disappointment.
@clutterbug Sometimes the stock is gone before you can pay meh for the privilege of clearing out their junk.
@mrallen1 Now I get it…I didn’t realize, never having snagged one, that the picture of the bag should’ve been there! Thx for the info! There’ll be a next time! Lol
Here is how it works. I’m on my phone, I tap buy, it loads the page showing the robot checkbox, I tap the checkbox, it loads my address, I munge my address, GAME OVER MAN.
@excarnate munge?
@Dave, I would like one of your secret stash Irk bags, thanks in advance.
GDMF’ers. Had to change my billing address and missed out…
You may all think I’m a tad crazy but I have yet to open my “THE FINAL FUKOBUKURO”. That combined with my ability to aquire an IRK-1 will be a splendid opportunity to open both together in some not really important handoff like fashion.
@stuntdriver my last fuko, i opened the box, saw i had what must be the crappiest fuko ever. Folded the box back up and there it still sits. Nothing has been taken out. It was that bad.
@jnicholson0619 I have a hunch as to what is in it, but will know for sure soon enough.
@jnicholson0619 What’s in the box???
/giphy What’s in the box?
@stuntdriver Wow… how can you resist, I am impressed. I am already ready to open the one just got yesterday but sadly looks like not until next year!
Then thinking about getting together with a couple other friends here that were able to snag them as well and might have to wait a few days after it arrives to get together, that will be torturous!

@blaineg @jnicholson0619 I believe a very large Bluetooth speaker… But beyond that it is a mystery!
Hi Meh moderators. If there are any duplicates or cancelations can I purchase one PLEASE??? Card on file.
My order status is still ‘Processing’ what does this mean? Are they going to be shipped soon?
@craigmclark Scroll up to the top of this thread and you can see the estimated delivery window.
@craigmclark It means that any IRK’s that are still processing will be sent to @Barney. Bwahahaha!
@sammydog01 Oh, I missed that part, thanks!
It shipped. Fedex shows 7x7x7, 1lb.
@j8048188 Update: 5.8lbs, 14x11x10"
My shipping notice showed up a few days ago. Should arrive on Thursday. And they finally updated the package info today. Looks like 5.6 lbs and 14x10x12 in size.
My FedEx tracking number doesn’t show the weight or size of the box. It only shows the tracking history
@christagious click the tracking history box to change it to shipment facts.
@RiotDemon thank you! 5.9 lbs and 14x10x11
