ha April fools —it was a sic joke making sure we couldn’t snag an irk during the beginning stages of this mehrathon—aww and I can’t stay up all night as I am working tomorrow
The first 60 minutes last night were painful. I think i actually loaded the page four times in that time. I thought the first items would be a IRK but it wasn’t.
@trlenoir I was wondering that too. Used to go to the Fedex tracking site and I could see the package even before Fedex received it because Meh generated a tracking number ahead of the actual shipping. Now I only see the package after I get an email from Meh about the item being shipping and have to go to the USPS site instead. Not as much detail on that site (although the Fedex site usually had the wrong dimensions and weight for several days).
@dagirlgenius they only had 1,000 IRKs this time. For the first IRK, they had over 2,000. Remember good things usually come in small packages-but probably not with this bunch.
Parcel select on its way here as well. Keeping the mystery intact all the way to my doorstep. The only thing I know is it’s not a pallet of trip glasses.
Mine has shipped (I was the second yellow IRK) but no information other than shipped. Oh following the other url give up higher in this thread (how do people know these things to go look there???) mine says Delivery 4/9-4/12.
@heartny Yeah I think having that is no longer not happening. Their route though is odd - TX -> IN -> MS. Umm 6.5 hours from them to me. Adding oh, say 1000 miles to the trip going they way they are sending it. Hope I actually get it.
@heartny@Kidsandliz Mine is sitting in Indiana also, which irks me (hah!) as I just moved from there…
I double checked the shipping address to make sure it wasn’t going to my old Indy address!
@heartny@transplant Mine has been in Greenwood since the 6th just rotting at the dock I guess. Says estimated delivery is the 9th (today) through the 12th. Nope don’t think it is going to get here today. I don’t think smartpost uses a teletransporter. It might use a turtle though. 683 miles to go just to get to my town. So mine has gone/will go 1186 miles extra. I guess that is why it needs to rest in Greenwood.
@Felton10 I’m sooooo not living up to my username. I’ve been tracking the pop sockets I forgot I ordered this whole frigging time. Ugggghhhhh. My IRK is still in IN.
@dagirlgenius Haven’t gotten any notification that mine is at my PO yet for tomorrow delivery. Mine is still somewhere between Atlanta and Florida so you still might get yours before me-so you still have time.
Super meh IRK. Even fouling up the USPS. Tracking info from Saturday;
Processing Exception, Other Delay
Your shipment has potentially been delayed due to emergency or other conditions at 5:10 pm on April 6, 2019
/giphy processing exception
I swear the fine folks at the Grapevine, TX shipping facility must really enjoy staring at boxes My IRK has been sitting there for four days Wakey wakey folks…I have regrets to receive!
@Trillian that’s great! Mine too was paroled today and made it’s way all the way to Indiana. Only 8 hours of travel left to reach me here in Wisconsin. Unfortunately we’re a couple hours into a massive snow storm so I won’t be expecting it tomorrow. Hopefully Friday!
Does the fact that mine is still processing mean I should get my hopes up they’re looking for a big enough box to put all that awesome stuff in? Anyone else still processing?
@Barney@Ignorant@raccoon81 My last one was a computer box beat to heck and rattling like it was filled with broken stuff. Which it was. They sent it out on a separate truck, early, and ditched it before I noticed.
@sammydog01 the duct tape seemed to all be from the person that returned it, the damaged box is just shipping it so many times. Still surprised everything inside works with shipping 33 lb box of stuff.
check yours again. mine shipped 8 minutes ago.
@carl669 Define ‘mine’.
@carl669 @OldCatLady
It’s true. Check your Order Page
ha April fools —it was a sic joke making sure we couldn’t snag an irk during the beginning stages of this mehrathon—aww and I can’t stay up all night as I am working tomorrow
Mediocrebot rules. Hoomans are so dumb. Pressed F5 a thousand times. Still the robots won. Ha. Ha. Bleep. Blorp.
@mediocrebot did you just bleep me?? Oh my goodness that irks me—well no it doesn’t but I’d like an Instant regret kit tonight, tomorrow whenever…
The first 60 minutes last night were painful. I think i actually loaded the page four times in that time. I thought the first items would be a IRK but it wasn’t.
…So one guesses this topic would be plastered with “I got one”/“I didn’t” comments if there had been IRKs.
I managed to get three irks this time.
@OnionSoup Is that possible? There is no limit to how many you can buy?
@Dakini Limit of one per person or bot.
@Dakini @OnionSoup April fools joke
April: confirmed. Fools: confirmed. Day: confirmed.
Mine hasn’t shipped yet either. @mediocrebot, your drones are lazy.
But will there be more? WILL THERE BE MORE?!
@marcee They’ve only sold 400. I’m pretty sure there will be more.
@Barney Only bots are never wrong. You are stoopid human.
@marcee Likely a VMP only one around 4 or 5ish, then another evening one at least. Well if past history holds that is…
@Kidsandliz did you snag an irk? Once again I didn’t at VMP time or last one tonight
@AttyVette Yes. I got very lucky. No motorcycles and traffic lights and sidewalks the time I got one.
OMG! Mediocrebot is running the show and efficiency is still nil. Nothing has shipped yet!
/giphy IRK
It seems the only thing that Mediocrebot is awesome at is being snarky. What an April Fool’s joke it is.
April: confirmed. Fools: confirmed. Day: confirmed.
@Mehrocco_Mole He has a new trick. The Best. (not). See below (that took less than 10 seconds to pop up).
I just got mine and will have a live unboxing on Twitch yesterday.
@PocketBrain You had no idea how much I enjoyed missing it.
I’m just here for the viole… errr irk shipping.
Where is my stuff? Why has this not shipped yet, that other site I would already have my junk!
/giphy gimme gimme gimme
@raccoon81 @Barneybot wants to serve humans.
Purple is the worst color.
@mediocrebot likes sauerkraut on his ice cream.
My IRK shipped already! No ETD or anything but still… It’s already made its way to Grapevine, TX.
With the quickness this time, Meh! Well done!
Mine shipped! USPS Parcel Select. So no weight/size info
@jsh139 same.
/giphy suspense
So . . . When did Meh start using the post office directly? Before it was FedEx or UPS with a hand off to USPS, but never USPS directly.
I expect a lot of shipping damage
/giphy shipped
@trlenoir I was wondering that too. Used to go to the Fedex tracking site and I could see the package even before Fedex received it because Meh generated a tracking number ahead of the actual shipping.

Not as much detail on that site (although the Fedex site usually had the wrong dimensions and weight for several days).
@cengland0 @trlenoir My last few packages have been USPS. On the plus side they now put a nifty Meh logo on the label.
@trlenoir https://meh.com/forum/topics/fedex-mehpost#5c54b4648fb79f008d014a0e
Just like others above, mine has shipping. No details about size, weight, or ETA.
I’m wondering if they are using usps for smaller packages?
@dagirlgenius they only had 1,000 IRKs this time. For the first IRK, they had over 2,000. Remember good things usually come in small packages-but probably not with this bunch.
It’s not going to be much fun following the tracking this time – It looks like there will be not be a shipping weight update or even an ETA.
@Barney you can get a delivery date if you track directly through Newgistics http://tracking.newgistics.com/
@Ignorant Cool. Mine shows estimated delivery 04/09/19-04/12/19.
Hey, Mr. Smartie Pants, have you figured out a way to determine the weight of my IRK?
(Thank you for the new way of tracking.)
@Barney irks don’t like to talk about their weight.
@Ignorant Neither do Barneys.
I have tracking. Grapevine Texas waiting to give to the UPS.
Mine has shipped.
Estimated Delivery
04/10/19-04/12/19
Parcel select on its way here as well. Keeping the mystery intact all the way to my doorstep. The only thing I know is it’s not a pallet of trip glasses.
@djslack Are you absolutely certain?
Mine has shipped but no estimated delivery date yet…
Mine has shipped (I was the second yellow IRK) but no information other than shipped. Oh following the other url give up higher in this thread (how do people know these things to go look there???) mine says Delivery 4/9-4/12.
Put your tracking number in here:
http://tracking.newgistics.com
and it will give more info (thanks for @ignorant for this)
@Kidsandliz Interesting, but still no package weight. I guess I will just have to be surprised.
@heartny Yeah I think having that is no longer not happening. Their route though is odd - TX -> IN -> MS. Umm 6.5 hours from them to me. Adding oh, say 1000 miles to the trip going they way they are sending it. Hope I actually get it.

My IRK (lovingly called my BOC) is in Atlanta and I live in Florida. Just waiting for the shit to hit my doorstep early next week.
@Felton10 Same. Mine’s been in the ATL since the 6th…
@llangley got mine today-you are better off not getting yours.
Mine is still hanging out in Grapevine. Taking a lovely nap, maybe collecting more garbage for me to throw away once it arrives.
@revloki that’s where mine has been sitting for what feels like forever!!!
Oh. Whoops. I’m bad at remembering to actually claim the only perk of the worst life decision I’ve ever made.
Do I win for “most regret”?
@TheMeerkat are you sure you don’t mean the best?
@TheMeerkat the way I read their post, they’re just gonna send you the IRK and then you owe them a photo.
@djslack Nah, you have to prove it ahead of time.
Mine is out for delivery today
@dagirlgenius Mine probably tomorrow. Let us know what kind of crap you got so we all can be prepared.
@Felton10 Will do!
@Felton10 I’m sooooo not living up to my username. I’ve been tracking the pop sockets I forgot I ordered this whole frigging time. Ugggghhhhh. My IRK is still in IN.
SOCKET POPPIT STAHPIT
@mediocrebot Ooh, an new phrase, I think. Awesome!
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@dagirlgenius Haven’t gotten any notification that mine is at my PO yet for tomorrow delivery. Mine is still somewhere between Atlanta and Florida so you still might get yours before me-so you still have time.
@mediocrebot Miami vice, very nice.
Mine might be here tomorrow. That might make it the worst birthday gift ever.
@RiotDemon I’m busy tomorrow so:
@sammydog01 haha, thanks!!
@RiotDemon Happy Birthday a day early!
@RiotDemon
Happy birthday to you . . .
@RiotDemon RD, so when’s your bday? The 9th? Mine is today! (The 8th)!
@moonhat the 9th.
Happy late birthday to you!
@RiotDemon thank you so much, my Aries buddy

/giphy processing exception
Today was the first day of the delivery window, but tracking shows it hasn’t updated since grapevine tx on 4/5.
/giphy keeping my hopes down
My tracking info finally just updated and the “Alert” is gone and it is at my post office - to be delivered tomorrow
@eric1024 Received!
So, no more size and weight data? That always made for good guessing
@crow I know. Sad that is no longer part of this.
Still showing processing.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@cinoclav Nice to know mine isn’t worse. Shipped but stuck at On Its Way To USPS. Nothing more… hoping it is moving but they sure won’t tell me.
I swear the fine folks at the Grapevine, TX shipping facility must really enjoy staring at boxes My IRK has been sitting there for four days Wakey wakey folks…I have regrets to receive!
@thecloudy1 My box was also incarcerated in Grapevine for four days, but was apparently paroled just a few hours ago and should be here tomorrow!
@Trillian that’s great! Mine too was paroled today and made it’s way all the way to Indiana. Only 8 hours of travel left to reach me here in Wisconsin. Unfortunately we’re a couple hours into a massive snow storm so I won’t be expecting it tomorrow. Hopefully Friday!

POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Delivery is complete… but not home to know what requires so much duct tape!
@raccoon81 and a mask!
@Ignorant must really reek to high hell!
@Ignorant @raccoon81 I think the mailman is embarrassed to be seen delivering an IRK.
@Barney @Ignorant @raccoon81 My last one was a computer box beat to heck and rattling like it was filled with broken stuff. Which it was. They sent it out on a separate truck, early, and ditched it before I noticed.
“I saw the UPS guy leave it. I swear.”
@sammydog01 the duct tape seemed to all be from the person that returned it, the damaged box is just shipping it so many times. Still surprised everything inside works with shipping 33 lb box of stuff.
