@mdrcoast - you can go on meh, sign in and look at your orders and it will tell if it has been delivered so that then would tell you if it is your irk. Open the box as they often stuff things inside boxes with whatever was supposed to be in there so you may find your bag and other things in there. If no bag and it is your irk contact customer support to get your bag.
@Kidsandliz They also have been known to recycle a box and put an entirely different thing inside. I’m hoping that somebody gets a giant TrackR box that has not a single TrackR in it, but contains something worthwhile instead.
@Kidsandliz It is the IRK. I checked the order page and was tongue-in-cheek about no TrakRs. The box only has one thing, but I am ok with it. It’s a pretty decent haul.
Total score! Ninja pro pressure cooker, not sure if it works yet. Extras were standard screen protector and cigarette lighter USB car charger, but no bag. This makes up for all those trackers as of late!
@medz
I feel for ya @scilynt ! I’m in full wraps due to swelling and it’s NO JOKE! I’ve never seen legs this swollen on anyone else ever! Good luck to you, healing prayers!
Mine just arrived- that was quick! I got a black IRK bag, a Star Wars t-shirt, a hoodie, (both of these in size small, which I haven’t worn since elementary school hahaha) the obligatory car chargers, and an electrode pad for a massager that I don’t own. Oh, and a really nice BIG air purifier to hold it all up for the photo.
@naturallia Yeah, it’s a great shirt- I just wish it was big enough to fit more than one of my arms. I do have a twenty-something niece that is super tiny, I’ll send it to her. She’s a total Star Wars geek.
Turns out that air cleaner is so noisy I can’t stand to be near it when it’s on. lol it’s got a high-pitched whine that just sets my nerves on edge. Oh well.
@ybmuG Nope it’s flat on both sides with handles dug into both ends. Just super sized. I’m thinking about adding legs and making it into a small table.
@werehatrack On closer inspection, the reason for the IRKing of the set became apparent. The box was split all the way down one corner from top to bottom, and taped back closed. That was the only thing “wrong” with it. This is easily my best IRK ever.
I am just shocked. What a great surprise to come home to. A 12 piece stainless Cuisinart pan set, recyclable/reusable straws, a red wallet (which I really like), and the obligatory phone grip. And an IRK bag which I always love. Thanks Meh…and I mean it.
updated comment - seems like everyone so far got “good stuff” even if they can’t personally use it. And we are happy (proof we can be bought ). Thank you for bringing back the old meh and then some.
Pretty good box again.
1 black irk bag
1 battery case
1 Godzilla tshirt, medium
1 TheHitDeal bathroom scrubber (looks like a return, but unused and works) I need to clean my shower, so this is great.
1 set of heart Solar lights
1 pair of fancy hand painted wine glasses
I think this is the first IRK I’ve ever gotten. It’s a SideDeal IRK.
1 red and green IRK bag
Obligatory chargers and screen protector
1 pair of pink 1X athletic leggings (little big for me)
8pc. set of Caphalon cookware (currently $449 on the Caphalon site) - One of the lids’ handle is broken off, but they included it in the box. Pretty sure I can reattach it with a quick spot weld.
So mine came in the original box, but it was pretty torn up:
I was skeptical because it had the return info on it, and I’ve gotten boxes before for good stuff that was broken or missing a crucial part.
Toby looks dubious too.
But - IT WORKS! It wasn’t even out of the wrapping inside, all the parts are there, and I just used it to heat up leftover pizza!!! So WOW, I got one of the spectacular boxes this time around, too! Woohoo!
@Kidsandliz Toby is an odd kitty - he doesn’t like getting into boxes. I suspect he has some past trauma from being in a box, maybe. He does love the laundry basket because he can see out the sides.
@ShotgunX We’ve had threads of cat pics on occasion in the past. Some very cute cats have been posted.
Mine are all strays and I have been very lucky that they like each other. Starting from the bottom Lizzy is 14, Thing Thing is 8 and Tigger (the yellow) is 5.5. The missing one will be 6 in May (I know that as she was feral with her mama and siblings in my parking lot; siblings were killed by cars).
@ShotgunX He is a sweetie and next to me right now partly draped across me (although my biggest lap cat is Thing Thing). He also likes to sleep by my head at night, at times curled against me.
Today I heard the beep-beep-beep of a truck in my driveway, which means one thing: my kickass FedEx guy (don’t hate) had something big so he had to back that thang up by the garage. Came downstairs in time to wave bye to him and had a huge box fully encased in stretch wrap laying by the garage.
What was in the box?
Most of a Go Power Bike. The frame with rear wheel, battery and motor. The front handlebars hanging down beneath. Front wheel separate. One pedal. No charger. No keys. Rough AF. Tires couldn’t be flatter if you ironed them.
AirWand Styler Set. Box has been retaped, looks like a return
Torrey Lane 4pc full sheet set in yellow
Black tote and Beetlejuice clutch banded together with a Compare At price tag already on it,
One pair Muk Luks size 8.5
Spiffy as hell silver on black IRK bag
Score! Thanks, Meh!
But wait, what’s that? I found the other pedal, yay!
Oh, but here’s the thing. The front forks, yeah, they’re toast.
The Old Meh has returned! Shipping something huge and worthless for entertainment value. I’m here for it! And I might be able to cannibalize that bike and do something cool with the powertrain. Maybe. So Thanks, Meh!
@werehatrack that silver part below the intentionally silver part is detached metal. The tube is broken off from the arch that connects to the other tube.
The fork is probably an easy swap. The rest I haven’t assessed yet.
The tube is broken off from the arch that connects to the other tube.
@djslack@werehatrack Damn. That’s a cast and forged piece, so it really took a bumping smashing in logistics. Forks are standardized enough that a replacement shouldn’t be any issue. What’s the tire size?
Charger – there’s bound to be one off eBay or Amazon. Keys – just use a wave rake.
@narfcake@troy yeah it looks like a pretty awesome bike. 26" tires and an integrated cargo rack.
I don’t know if it’s just logistics, it looks like it’s been together and some parts are roughed up a little, so maybe a return. But breaking a fork like that is impressive.
@djslack@narfcake@troy Those OEM forks are often not very robust. I’ve had to replace a couple over the years. The worst are the ones that ship with crappy chrome on the tubes; the rust pits bubble up and eat the bushings if the bike gets the least bit damp. Things like big-box-store Mongoose, Ozone, Pacific, or (gag me) Roadmaster. But as flimsy as those may be, I’ve seen some aftermarket forks that managed to be worse.
My IRK has had “Barcode label unreadable and replaced” 3 times now. The last time I had this happen I got a box that was super destroyed and wrapped in a several layers of tape to hold it mostly together. Makes me think it has some heft to it if it keeps breaking out of the box. And it’s still headed in the right direction.
@FreePasta at least it wasn’t broken bottles of poo pouri and didn’t trigger a 2 day migraine upon opening the box! It can happen… don’t ask me how I know.
TheHitDeal bathroom scrubber -a return with the person’s name and address still on the box; the box is trashed but all the parts are there and in their plastic bags. Plugged it in and it goes, didn’t before I plugged it in. Do not know yet if the battery holds a charge as I am charging it as I type. Currently $35-40 online. If it doesn’t hold a charge someone who already owns one can have all the cleaning heads for postage. I don’t have enough to clean to make it worth owning it, I’ll sell if the battery holds a charge.
Antoni Barcelona Glassware company, 2 wine glasses hand painted and hand blown. New and unopened. I don’t drink. $40 on amazon. The poor reviews say the paint peels even when you hand wash them. The good ones don’t so not sure what the deal is with that.
In beer we trust church stained glass window t-shirt. Won’t wear as I don’t drink. Appears to be men’s M. That likely I can sell.
The usual outdated iphone 6-8 screen protector. I likely have about 8 or 10 of those at this point.
Black irk bag. Those I keep.
Thanks meh for no sanitizer, masks, trackrs, phone rings, paint, unidentifiable objects, broken glass items, and things missing parts. I have more than enough of that stuff.
Mine arrived in a beat up box as well. Another air fryer!!! Meh must have quite and endless supply of these since so many people have posted these. Also received joggers size XL and a purple hoodie size xs. Quite a difference. Also got the car chargers and 2 sets of TMS charging pads (no TMS device, shocking!), and a black irk bag air fryer
I can guess the reason the air fryer was returned is because the door doesn’t fully close. Some rubber trim wasn’t installed properly and the front face needs to be removed to get it in place. But it does heat up!
I will post a picture soon, but I got an iHome Robot Vac, a pair of ladies warm knee high socks, two car USB chargers, a soft white XL ladies t-shirt (love it), and a Meh bag. Nice $10 haul! Meh really took the regret out of the irk this time.
The box was HUGE and HEAVY! Seriously beat up packaging.
I wrestled it into the house.
Got big knife and attacked box. First view looked like some sort of bike?? Then lots of smaller items pushed down the side of the box, totally jamming it full.
I carefully pulled out and set up the items below, while gradually being able to see that there what looked like a bike down in there.
Side Items:
King Bamboo sheet set - I think a grandson will claim
The Bag - we fight over these
Bathroom vanity mirror that looks like it is lighted - Yes! Those nasty facial whiskers.
Muk Looks - would you believe … exactly my size! They will sit by the garage door so I can slide into them rather than running out on that dirty floor in my socks (and then dragging in that dirt)
A pretty little carrying case that maybe will add a little class to my travels?
The Bike:
The bike gradually appeared. I can’t get it out of the box by myself so will have to wait for some help.
I’m an aged grandmother. Grew up on a farm and NEVER learned to ride a bike. However, the whole rest of my family takes their biking very seriously - bike club, bike trips across Europe, exercise via biking, etc. My retired DIL now even works at a bike store assembling them and repairing them. I’ll soon be able to learn just what I actually got.
But I can read. On the bike it says GoEagle and GoPowerBike. I’ll report back when they’ve got it out of the box, clear set up, tested and tried. My serious problem will be just exactly who gets it?? Two families. Six grandkids. ???
@romellex So that is the same $1500 bike that @djslack got (look up higher in the thread). Since your husband is “in the business” if yours comes broken he may be able to fix it. In fact he may be able to help djslack get the parts he needs.
@romellex That’s a great irk! The one that gets to ride the ebike is the one that comes and visits you because it can live at your house. That way no one can complain… Or 6 months with one family and 6 months with the other. Or sell it and go on a cruise!
Welp! I was going to complain about the mysterious lack of regret in my IRK, and then I saw the sheer deficit of regret the rest of you are facing, and must confess I found some regret after all!
-T shirt in yellow with a butterfly map design
-Solar heart light set
-Battery case (Popular Mechanic)
-Painted wine glasses - the box is very nice (and was bubbled wrapped, shockingly!) but sounds like the glasses may be meh?
-Fancy silver-on-black Meh bag
And a 4 pack of Detroit cityscapes. Um.
But no car chargers, accessories for cell phones I don’t own, Trackrs, or even computer cases! So thanks, Meh!
And congrats to the people drowning in non-regret! What a haul this has been so far for mehtizens!
I’m glad I was lucky enough to get back in the IRK game for this round.
1 Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Pro Stainless pots & pans set (only the ‘good’ option in this offer but I shall not look a gift IRK in the mouth, especially with kids fleeing the nest
1 Burgi Swarovski (!) watch, MSRP of $495! (but retails for $40)
1 iessentials universal car charger two pack (got these before and only one of 'em worked)
1 Casery glass protector for an iPhone 8
1 prophetic Lunar New Year eve dragon cerberus shirt
I have been a member of the meh community Since day zero, Plus I was a long time member of the original woot. Over the years I have received some true disappointments, I received some stuff that I could use some stuff that I threw away and some stuff I donated. I have received a delivery from a 18 Wheeler truck that had over 250 pair of “trippin” Eyeglasses, I’ve received a rumba, Some really good appliances like a panini maker and an air vacuum system, And I have appreciated every single item, even the speaker docs and candy corn.
Today once again I was amazed at what I received.
I got a…
beautiful thirty six c bra, not my wife’s size.
A couple of car chargers
A really nice t shirt with a raccoon on it
foundation that expires in two weeks
The obligatory meh bag
… And a Cuisinart Wine Refrigerator
A few dings and dents, but BFD
OMG you guys are killing me! I am slated to get mine delivered today but watching the tracking tells me they will be rescheduling. boohoo. Then again I might be getting excited over trackers, tweezers and phone cases.
Got a very large and heavy box claiming to be an electric bike. Too large to bring into the house so I tore into it on the porch.
First all the other stuff.
Set of full size sheets
Green battery storage case with tester
Roll of wrapping paper
Pair of muk luk slippers size 8.5
Burgundy celsius premier coat size medium
2 raiders themed irk bags
And then fully packaged and appearing brand new, a GoPowerBike Go Speed electric bike.
About an hour and 100 zip ties later, all the parts are there, it’s assembled and charging.
@djslack@romellex@kalma@gr8mick1 Any luck with getting your bikes to power on? I fully charged my battery but can’t seem to get it to power on. I had some doubts about if the battery would still be good, but the charger did change to green eventually, implying that it could tell it was fully charged. Maybe I’m just missing a step?
@djslack@kalma@metaphore@romellex powered on fine just held the button an or came on. Needs air in tires so didn’t get to test the motor assist but it did power up
@metaphore My son and grandson are coming this Saturday to take a run at it. I’ll let you know what we learn. They are both pretty fair mechanics and solvers of such. I couldn’t get them here this past weekend because of The Game.
@djslack@gr8mick1@metaphore@romellex My son got it to power on, but there are some gears inside that are messed up. He’s ordered replacements and we’ll see how easy it is to repair.
@Kyeh I transferred mine to another Mehtizen and had a wonderful albeit quick visit at the exchange. I was/am a bit overwhelmed with projects on various back burners so passing it along felt like the right thing to do. I’ll let them choose whether to share any success.
@djslack@gr8mick1@kalma@Kyeh@romellex Got mine to power on, the tires filled up, ready to ride, and then realized its too tall for me and its been too long since I’ve road a bike for me to give it a try when I can’t reach the ground. Hopefully I can find someone a bit taller to try it out for me pretty soon.
@djslack@gr8mick1@kalma@romellex @metaphore Bummer that it’s too tall for you. (That makes me feel less regret about not getting one though because I’m sure they’d be too tall for me as well.)
@djslack@gr8mick1@kalma@Kyeh@metaphore I’m behind everybody in getting going on mine. 82-YO grandmother here and have never ridden a bike . Ah, but the entire rest of my family does bike, some seriously, some REALLY seriously. One son and grandson came and checked it out (just plain bikers, but good mechanics). Missing keys, charger, something that mounts the seat to the frame. More than they wanted to attempt. But the other daughter-in-law actually works at a bike store assembling and repairing, and is a really serious biker. Has a friend with an amazing home shop who loves such projects. They should be coming to see it this Sunday or Monday (2/25 or 2/26). I expect they will lug it out of my living room and carry it off. Will give me frequent reports and I will share with you. They are in a bike club that does regular group trips, including chunks of other countries. And are VERY excited about my score.
@djslack@gr8mick1@kalma@Kyeh@metaphore My daughter-in-law and the friend (and wife) who should be able to get the bike up and running arrived Monday (2/26), packed it up and carried it off. He promised to let me know how things are going. A few early gleanings. He said that it was a good thing the bike was made in China, since most things made in China are from generic parts. So he should have no trouble finding needed replacements. I was just going to trash the big packing box, since he’d mounted the bike on a back car rack (with everything screwed/bolted down and a whole lot of shrink wrap). But he very carefully completely pulled the box apart and found several more missing screws and bolts. The key remained missing, so his plan is to drill out the hole and replace it. He is VERY excited about the bike. I am very happy to have it and all its parts out of my living room. If anyone is wondering this, I just gave it to him. Many friendship connections between he and his wife, my DIL and my now deceased son. Their bike club has wandered together for many many years.
@djslack@gr8mick1@kalma@Kyeh@metaphore@romellex The one @djslack received had no keys, a broken front fork arch, a bent derailleur hanger, bent derailleur, bent der guard, and missing charger. The lock will get picked and replaced, and everything else has allegedly arrived. When I get home, I’ll assemble and test it.
@djslack@romellex@werehatrack The keys are only to remove the battery from the bike and not necessary for operation. Unless you need to take the battery off you can ignore the missing keys
@PooltoyWolf I just checked, and the cheapest shipping option around here is almost $12. It would be cheaper for me to just PayPal you the eight bucks to buy it yourself, lol.
It’s probably gonna get donated anyway since I already have a cordless vac. Would’ve preferred a robo-vac for personal use. Oh well. I donate most of the stuff I win at meh and woot anyway.
I hit the Jackpot too, which was awesome. For a variety of reasons we didn’t get to celebrate Christmas with my eldest, and what I had for him was pretty lame but now I have an ELECTRIC BIKE to give him. So thanks for CMA Meh!
We have the bike, a puffy jacket with faux fur around the hood in navy, size xl. An over the door coat rack, full sized sheets, a remote control green bird (also going to son), a battery storage case (also going to son) and cuisinart juicer - but the bowl has a giant crack going through the bottom and there’s a broken off piece in there too, and a beautiful blue irk bag.
All in all, I’m so thankful to have gotten this Irk. I do love my trackrs and all the other cool and interesting things I’ve gotten over the years, but dang, this one really made my week.
@kalma@Kyeh I wonder if they’re giving out these bikes because the market absolutely crashed for them with all the new local legislation and HOAs banning electric vehicles due to fire risk? There have been some crazy deals on e-stuff this past year too.
@Kyeh@ShotgunX I’m not sure, the box was really rough and looked like it had termites or some other insect that had made its home in it. Pretty sure they couldn’t have sold it like that.
I got a large, heavy IRK this time, so going in I had high hopes…got a robot vacuum!! An iHome Autovac Eclipse Pro, with the self-emptying dock and everything! Also crammed into the top of the robot’s box was an XXL Star Wars shirt (nice), a Casery iPhone X screen protector, a 2-pack of iEssentials USB car chargers, and what I assume is a pad for a TENS massager. (Butterfly shaped with two snaps on it, branded IQmassager), as well as a black IRK bag. Thanks for a great one this time, Meh!
@PooltoyWolf Me either! But then I have never had an extra heavy IRK! Heaviest I have had was an ice cream maker in one. I just started wondering if they have to change that 1lb 6"x4"x1" setting for something like a bike. haha
1 Cuisinart touchscreen 14-cup coffee maker. the plastic is a bit cracked near the lid, but it turns on and i don’t see how the crack would interfere with it working. now i have to learn how to drink 14 cups of coffee a day.
1 t-shirt, size small. it’s like, a corona beer label parody shirt that has a reference to the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. i’m an xl.
4 or 5 pads for a tens-unit thing, but no unit
2 usb car charger packs
1 black and silver irk bag
Black IRK bag
Small tee shirt
Wine colored faux fur hooded coat, perfect for Little Red
Riding Hood
Towel Set
Solar hearts light set, just in time for Valentines Day!
Let’s Fit smart watch
My son wants an electric bike for his bday, so I was hoping, but no-go.
Black and silver IRK bag
2 pack universal car charger
Tens pads, I have a Tens unit
2 screen protectors for phones I don’t have
Minx sweater socks
Star Wars t-shirt, size way too small for me
Kalorik Indoor grill
@cbilyak I got basically the same thing except mine was an outdoor lantern that Meh was selling as a two pack for 50 bucks some time ago. I really didn’t want the ebike, we both have one but I don’t need an outdoor lantern either. lol
I’ll make someone happy on Buy Nothing with this lantern though! I like that.
@cbilyak same dilemma. My son’s birthday is in a week and has been begging for an e-bike so I was secretly hoping, though by no means expecting one. No dice.
Zero regrets at all. In fact, this was a true prize IRK.
Black and silver IRK bag
XL Leather Jacket (tan blazer style)
Thermometer
Some iPhone 8 screen protectors
and…
this:
So this is amazing. It’s a Vorwerk Thermomix TM6, and retails for $1,499. Still had the protective plastic film on it, and I set it up and everything is working. This makes up for the last several IRKs, which were truly regrettable.
@townmoron Wow, that’s a heck of a score! I have (most of) an e-bike that retails $1499 if you want to trade lol
I would actually like to hear the story of how Meh had this - maybe a sample from a deal that didn’t go through (or maybe morningsave/sidedeal has some rare kitchen deals).
P.S. I’m still holding out for that control freak deal.
@djslack@townmoron I seem to recall that a couple of models of GoPower bike showed up on SideDeal a while back, so these are most likely returns due to shipping damage, or maybe due to FXG “can’t find the address”, or some such. I’ve shipped enough crap over the years to have some tales of woe of my own in that area, including one customer who gave me their old address (the item bounced), then confirmed that the address was correct (reshipped, rebounced), then insisted that it was right (ditto, ditto) before realizing what they’d done. On the fourth try, it arrived at the correct door on time. Des trucs bizarres arrivent.
@djslack My suspicion is that some of the stuff in IRKs is samples obtained to evaluate whether to make a buy, oddball items included in a distress lot of mostly a different item, and the like. If they buy a brokered merch offer and it has just one or two of something in with 150 of a different item, it might be kind of hard to justify even putting it into a 'Thon.
@Kyeh That wasn’t me, unless it was for a very specific thing (like candle making with my kiddo). I bought a set of “Lifetime” pans back in 2009 and they’re still doing amazing along with a my couple of cast iron pans.
My oldest at some point will want to move out and I’ve been stashing anything good away to give to her when she does. I have towels, knives, this pan now, and several other things.
Have these all been the 10.00 Meh IRKs or are some of these the SideDeal IRK? I got one of each. Received the Meh, SideDeal created a label but FedEx hasn’t received the package yet.
@Dakini It’s been a mix, including some InkForIRK as well.
Personally, I think the high percentage of treasure is related to the relatively low total number of IRKs sold this time. That, and I suspect that they’ve been hoarding the good stuff for a major wave like this.
@werehatrack Well it has certainly been fun watching it unfold, even if my IRK wasn’t super…at least it wasn’t filled with a case of trackrs this time! haha
@user13771460 Mine still said that an hour before it arrived. Meh apparently has one of the special accounts with FXG that makes size and weight less important, so sometimes FedEx doesn’t update the info in transit. All of Meh’s packages probably go out the door as one pound at minimum dimensions.
First, CONGRATS to everyone who scored a non regret able IRK!
I was shocked when I saw a huge box at my door! I don’t ever track the IRKs so it’s ALWAYS a surprise when they arrive. Even though I yelled out “WOOHOO, THAT’S MY IRK” I still checked the name to make sure! I’ve never gotten such a big box! It’s condition though, IDK how on earth it made it here with the contents still inside. There was almost more tape trying to hold it together then there was brown box!
Okay, yes, I’m getting to the contents…
It was luggage, A 3 PIECE SET!
I said it was an omen to finally go on the long overdue, well deserved little getaway we’d been talking about forever. But within the hour that plan changed when my mom came down to help out with a few things and I asked if she needed luggage. Her and my sister are going away soon, the 3 piece set went home with my mom and I couldn’t be happier! Paying back is the most wonderful feeling ever!
Also inside was a XXL T-shirt that will fit one of the guys around here. Or we’ve got a new dust cloth. YAY!
Some sort of iPhone accessory. I haven’t seen it yet but know we don’t need it, we’re android user. Going in the gift box!
A double pack of USB vehicle chargers that will also be gifted.
Oh yeah, the super cool red and green IRK bag!
Thanks for showing so much love in these super spectacular Valentine’s Day IRKs Meh, and also to the worker bee’s who put them together! You’ve outdone yourselves!
Now let’s see if I can post some pics…
Times are tough right now and I was lucky enough to get the box inside and opened so no judgement please on my unfortunate pics. You’ll see what I mean. 🫣![enter image description here][1]
@Lynnerizer The iphone thing is likely a screen saver for a dinosaur iphone (6-8 is what has been on all the ones I have gotten and the newest is 15 plus there have been some without numbers that are newer than that) so likely not a gift anyone wants. The box looks like the one that came in my irk (and previous ones too).
@Lynnerizer Yay!!! Congratulations - I’m glad you got something wonderful. And can’t you borrow back the luggage after your mom’s trip to go on your getaway as well?
Mine’s finally shipped it says it’ll be here Wednesday which means sometime between Monday and Monday because it’s FedEx they’re rarely on time but they are occasionally early strangely enough
Seems like this was the Irk that isn’t including nearly as much regret as usual. Though, knock on wood, I’ve had more positive experiences with irks than real regret. This time around was a doozy! I got the $10 irk and the side deal one, and I don’t know which box is which. I scored with both. The big prizes - a new in box Calphalon set and a new in box Flexstride under desk elliptical. Plus some cute tshirts that are too small for me but I’ll be able to pawn them off on my partner, a great toothbrush from Quip, a Cuisinart steak knife set and other small goodies. Bags were the black and silver and a dark green. Thanks, Meh!
@jcpseattle Just set up the Flexstride and it’s new but definitely a return bc of the box getting crunched. The lever has what is hopefully just cosmetic damage. I’m excited to try it out!
Well I was a little disappointed when the FedEx driver ambled up the driveway with a box that didn’t seem to break their back. I was really hoping for one of those e-bikes for my son for his birthday but no such luck. I was truly wondering if I’d have a whammy box but it was actually really great. There was an old school Star Wars shirt which my son immediately snagged, a shirt that matched some really soft cute pj shorts which my daughter snagged, a pair of fuzzy slides which the third one snagged and a brand new waterprooof coho cooler which will be heavily utilized as we love kayaking and floating the rivers in the summer. I don’t have a picture of most of it but I did get one of the cooler.
@djslack you’re probably right. He would’ve been gutted if it had come and it didn’t work. And one of our friends has this cooler and adores it. I’ve been tempted to buy one multiple times in the last year so this was pretty ace! Better than a kick in the pants for sure.
@sillyheathen those are nice coolers. I picked one up at the MorningSave store last year when I had to get a white elephant for work. It was the first thing stolen.
Got mine yesterday. NO BAG
some portable ice bath thing - not sure if it has all the parts as there are no instructions and was clearly a return - this box served as my shipping box.
stuffed inside that box was also 1 pack of 2 car charger adapters and wall pop. And I haven’t received my refund yet so as of now I paid $42 for this regret…looks like it is time to reach out to customer service
@GBrunner321 Somebody else farthe down got a water chiller unit for an ice bath setup, but not the bath itself. Maybe the two of you got the split halves of the same unit?
@steelersluver There was an early advisory during the 'Thon that some of them would be pretty late getting out. I think there were a bunch preassembled, but those have apparently been exhausted. Better a possibly-worthwhile slow-to-arrive IRK than one that’s 72 TrackRs, a case of 1A car charger plugs, and a Macbook case, in my opinion. (This statement does not guarantee that a delayed IRK will be a terrific IRK, but I’d expect a “just get something out” IRK to be less than wonderful.)

Got my $10 IRK today. After seeing all of the cool swag people were getting, I had high hopes but low expectations. FedEx left a Bissell Air 320 box outside my garage. I opened the box and there she was, a brand new, stylish air purifier along with (2) Mented mascaras, twin pack of car chargers, Mac book cover and a pair of army green sweatpants/legging. Overall, no regrets whatsoever.
Got mine today. Both of them one from here and one from side deal. Neither one of them are mediocre. Assuming both items work I haven’t tried. But I’m not sure if either one of them are keepers. So without further ado
Pink bra is cute but it’s pink and it’s way too small
@Kyeh thanks that’s good to know. The air fryer might have interested in me if it was a smaller one. I don’t have a space for something that big I don’t think. I mean although the idea of registering a whole chicken makes me salivate.
@Cerridwyn Especially on a rotisserie, wow! Can you set up a roasting station in your garage or something?
Ive had to rearrange my kitchen for the air fryer I got. I’m still not sure where my bread machine will go now - but my whole space needs to be rearranged anyway.
@Kyeh yeah I live in an apartment so no that won’t work but we’ll see. I have two slow cookers I’m trying to get rid of one well one is a instant pot by another name by a better name thank you. And the other is an older multi cooker without the pressure. That I’m trying to find a new house for. Maybe I’d have room after that. I also have a KitchenAid stand mixer I’m trying to find a new home for. With what do you call it the food pressure attachment so after that we’ll see. Then I have to determine what I actually use it. Because being only me it changes what you do to cook
Mine just arrived. I got an ultrasonic cool mist humidifier. Yeah
A pair of toe ice picks not really a San Diego necessity
Some blue glass paint
A pair of black pearl earrings
2 schrodinger toothbrush coins and a green tote bag.
I got the water chiller for a Pod ice bath. Seems to be an expensive item but didn’t include the bath itself. They did open it up and add in an IRK bag, t-shirt, additional drink lid, and a challenge coin. Kind of fun to get one of the weird IRKs after all these years, even if it’s not super useful.
@wargrind A while back I got the “tub” thing that goes with this. I had been hoping it would fit in my shower as a bathtub since I don’t have one. Nope. Too big in diameter.
I can’t figure out how to add images. I got stickers meant to be used with a massager (i saw that someone else got the massager but no parts to use with it) , an airfryer rotisserie thing, stuff for wine drinkers, bras too small, and shirts that will be given to my daughter.
-Sharper image foot massager (looks like a return, but it looks new, so if it works I’ll be happy)
-Malibu Skye crossbody (I will definitely use it!)
-Meh T-shirt (love it!)
-2 mascaras (one for me and one for my daughter, lol!)
-glass screen-saver that won’t fit
-universal car chargers (are these worth keeping?)
-red and green irk bag
Oh…and one happy cat that has a new hiding spot to chill.
No regrets here…thanks for the Valentine’s love, Meh!!
@Kidsandliz now that she’s 17 it’s getting harder for her to keep up with all that hair. Fortunately, she does enjoy being brushed…except for the belly of doom. As in…you try to brush my belly and you’re doomed.
@k4evryng I had a Maine coon mix and she needed far more help grooming (she died 2 years ago 3 weeks short of 20). I have a long haired (really soft and tangled easily) one now who hates having her belly brushed. I finally chose to hold her by the nape of the neck and stand her up on her hind legs. I mostly live through that.
I have envy for all these toaster ovens. One of the few appliances I want but I don’t have. This round of IRKs is just fantastic- so happy for all of us!
My instant regret showed up today, a day late. Here’s what I got:
• Green IRK bag
• Mother of Pearl earrings
• 2 Schrodinger’s Toothbrush Club coins
• Smooshed package of Pain Cakes
• Cute T-shirt, size small (won’t fit me)
• Jashen V16 stick vacuum cleaner. Looks new.
Reviews seem to indicate there might be battery issues with the vacuum, but that’s probably the case for most stick vacs. Hoping this might turn out to be better than my Dyson V10, which sucks in a not so good way.
-Meh T-shirt (love it!)
-red and green irk bag
-2 mascaras
-glass screen-saver for an iphone x(my roommate is shopping for a new iphone from his 6, so that might end up useful)
-universal car chargers
-3 purple bracelets (ooh pretty, my favorite color!)
-an ihome eclipse robovac/mop.
Can anyone help me identify… what this is? I apparently have - half of two of them. There are unconnected circuit boards with nothing to connect them to. Any ideas what I got… parts to?
Meh.
1 flat, deflated memory foam pillow
1 XS shirt
1 5X brown lounge wear outfit
1 solar light heart string
Looks like they raided the dollar tree.
The second hand store may appreciate
Kids electric scooter
Hand sanitizer gel
2 mascara
Car chargers
1 tracker
1 magnetic changing cable (non pro version)
And for those who didn’t get a bag, I got 2
@robteaboy Kids scooter doesn’t work. will turn on when plugged in. Turns off when unplugged. I tried troubleshooting. All connectors look good. the battery shows 16.58V on a multimeter when label shows 21.6V
@robteaboy battery may be below the cutoff. You may be able to jump start a charge by bridging in 18-20 volts while it’s plugged in. Or connect 18v to the cells behind the battery management chip for a while to bring the cells up to the point the system will let it charge. Careful with the polarity, maybe do it outside on concrete in case you set off the fireworks.
Super heavy IRK! At first I thought it was only what was on the box, a TackLife High-Pressure airless paint sprayer, Model PPS01A which seemed pretty nice, but then I decided to open the bottom of the box and that was where Meh had crammed a bunch of other items.
And a Jessica Simpson wide brimmed hat that has an open top.
All in All, pretty nice. I’ll likely give most of it away, hoping my son in law wants the paint sprayer, if not I might attempt marketplace to recoup some of the IRK price and the accompanying Mehrathon items I bought to lower the price. haha
Thanks for posting the link to the cosmetic bag. I got one in my IRK and my granddaughter nailed it right away. Plans to use it for her knitting, with those cosmetic slots holding the shorter circular needles. I just sent your link to her so she will know how Ulta lists it.
@romellex@sammydog01@Sweetbabyjames
If it’s the CPC-800, I got the same one in my last IRK. I couldn’t find anything about it. I’d appreciate any info about any recall before I blow myself up…
My SideDeal Irk arrived last Friday, finally.
Ninja Foodi Neverstick Vivid 8 piece cookware set RED
Kenneth Jay Lane ring, pave crystal dome, hematite
Essential car chargers (2)
XS tee
Casery glass screen protector, iPhone
Green/yellow bag
Akribos XXIV watch, diamonds and Swarovski, RED
Because MEH is devious, everything was stuffed into the cookware box, and the watch was stuffed into the KJL box.
Surprise! There was no watch in the watch. It’s just a case. I went to have a battery put in, and the tech and I stared at it. Tomorrow I’ll go to a real jeweler’s shop, and have them put works inside. It’s a very pretty case, with three diamonds on the face and a bunch of Swarovski crystals around the (empty)case. I surmise that this was a salesman’s sample. It didn’t have a box. Dammit, now I want it to work!
One local jeweler closed up shop in December. The local Kay closed last Friday, with no notice. The big downtown jeweler doesn’t do watch repairs any more. I’ve ordered some quartz watch guts from AMZN, and Youtube is my friend. Excelsior!
finally back from my 2 week vacation and came home to:
cuisinart CWT-100 warming tray
black meh bag
case for iphone
bunch of n-95 masks
avec le filles faux leather coat
tan with no tan lines due to private pool
fine… that last thing wasn’t in the bag, but it’s worth mentioning dammit.
wife likes the jacket, but it’s too big. so, not sure we’ll keep anything other than the meh bag, but still a nice hall.
Can’t post a pic right now, but I also got mine. The main item was a FitNation RockNFit vibrating exerciser… Interesting! Also got a couple of XL T’s, screen protector, and a very cool red with neon green print Meh bag!
Another win here!
irk
@brianrob88
What!!! I want your irk. What are the shirts and hoddie?
@mdrcoast - you can go on meh, sign in and look at your orders and it will tell if it has been delivered so that then would tell you if it is your irk. Open the box as they often stuff things inside boxes with whatever was supposed to be in there so you may find your bag and other things in there. If no bag and it is your irk contact customer support to get your bag.
@Kidsandliz They also have been known to recycle a box and put an entirely different thing inside. I’m hoping that somebody gets a giant TrackR box that has not a single TrackR in it, but contains something worthwhile instead.
@Kidsandliz It is the IRK. I checked the order page and was tongue-in-cheek about no TrakRs. The box only has one thing, but I am ok with it. It’s a pretty decent haul.
@mdrcoast I can send yo somewhere between 60 and 90 trackrs if you feel deprived.
@Kidsandliz @mdrcoast
Yeah if all I got was that homemedics calf and foot massager, I’d be fine.
@Kidsandliz @mdrcoast If you’re near a Staples store, they accept GPS devices (TrackR is one)for recycling, and you get store credit.
Total score! Ninja pro pressure cooker, not sure if it works yet. Extras were standard screen protector and cigarette lighter USB car charger, but no bag. This makes up for all those trackers as of late!
@HobieCat you can contact support about no bag
You almost both live in texas. And this is the m e h or the side deal one
How did you get it so quickly? Mine hasn’t shipped yet.
The one irk I skip and everyone is getting cool shit.
/giphy awe shucks
@ironcheftoni
Well, 3 people so far …
@ironcheftoni dont worry, they are saving phone cases, paint, and pixels for the ones they ship further…I grabbed a $10 expectations are still low
Big thing is a, seemingly working, Sharper Image foot and calf massager that is on sidedeal for $180 right now.
@medz The black and silver bag is really sharp.
@mossygreen thanks. Spouse said both those bags are keepers. Good job, meh.
/giphy redeemed
She mad I took the photo without her.
@medz I’m jealous… my pre-diabetes legs have been lusting after these but way way out of my budget lol. Congrats!
@medz
I feel for ya @scilynt ! I’m in full wraps due to swelling and it’s NO JOKE! I’ve never seen legs this swollen on anyone else ever! Good luck to you, healing prayers!
@medz Hoping for one of these myself! Mine has not shipped yet and I just pulled a calf muscle!
Mine just arrived- that was quick! I got a black IRK bag, a Star Wars t-shirt, a hoodie, (both of these in size small, which I haven’t worn since elementary school hahaha) the obligatory car chargers, and an electrode pad for a massager that I don’t own. Oh, and a really nice BIG air purifier to hold it all up for the photo.
Thank you, Meh! My failing lungs appreciate the help!
@Pony
I got that same sticker for the massager lol.
Jealous of that star wars shirt, score!
@naturallia Yeah, it’s a great shirt- I just wish it was big enough to fit more than one of my arms.
I do have a twenty-something niece that is super tiny, I’ll send it to her. She’s a total Star Wars geek.
Turns out that air cleaner is so noisy I can’t stand to be near it when it’s on. lol it’s got a high-pitched whine that just sets my nerves on edge. Oh well.
XXL Gotham garage tshirt, 2 pack USB car chargers, iPhone X screen protector, new red/green IRK bag, and this 3 piece luggage set:
@opivp99
So jealous of the luggage.
Shirt (Zelda?)
Chargers
Screen protector
Bag
30X18X1.5 inch acacia cutting board
One of these things was a complete shock and it wasn’t the screen protector.
Thanks!
@sammydog01 And you got an eye-searing Christmas bag!
@sammydog01 yes to the shirt being a Zelda design.
@sammydog01 And that cutting board is really nice
@sammydog01 does the cutting board have feet? If so, it could be one made to go in the top of the stove.
@ybmuG Nope it’s flat on both sides with handles dug into both ends. Just super sized. I’m thinking about adding legs and making it into a small table.
@sammydog01 exactly the same as the irk I received. That is one awesome serving plank!
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
O. M. F. G.
I checked. It’s all there. It looks new. The lack of YAIB is of no consequence.
This is the only thing that has gone entirely right this week. It has helped, just when I really needed it.
@werehatrack On closer inspection, the reason for the IRKing of the set became apparent. The box was split all the way down one corner from top to bottom, and taped back closed. That was the only thing “wrong” with it. This is easily my best IRK ever.
After doing some digging, I came up with this spec which explains the softness of the nonstick coating:
So, not the Teflon brand of coating material, but also still PTFE, and therefore not even remotely metal-utensil-safe.
At this price, I refuse to complain. They’ll get used judiciously.
@werehatrack anything else in that irk?
@werehatrack
Fuck yeah, dam nice irk!
@Kidsandliz Nope. Nothing else in it, and I’m not going to complain about that.
Received my $10 IRK today and was pleasantly surprised. The box was tore up but contents were like new and it works.
@n3uka
I am just shocked. What a great surprise to come home to. A 12 piece stainless Cuisinart pan set, recyclable/reusable straws, a red wallet (which I really like), and the obligatory phone grip. And an IRK bag which I always love. Thanks Meh…and I mean it.
@sunnysideup22 When I texted my sister I got my IRK. She asked if I finally got my pan set…YES!!! I texted back. She’s pretty impressed.
@sunnysideup22 NICE
Gosh it seems like they are good ones this time around, unlike the last 3 or so. Let’s hope this keeps up!
updated comment - seems like everyone so far got “good stuff” even if they can’t personally use it. And we are happy (proof we can be bought
). Thank you for bringing back the old meh and then some.
Pretty good box again.
1 black irk bag
1 battery case
1 Godzilla tshirt, medium
1 TheHitDeal bathroom scrubber (looks like a return, but unused and works) I need to clean my shower, so this is great.
1 set of heart Solar lights
1 pair of fancy hand painted wine glasses
@remo28 I have that shirt, always gets noticed when I wear it
@remo28 Love the Godzilla shirt!
And I’d been wanting one of those scrubbers forever and I’m not even the one who cleans the shower! 
Good score!
I think this is the first IRK I’ve ever gotten. It’s a SideDeal IRK.
1 red and green IRK bag
Obligatory chargers and screen protector
1 pair of pink 1X athletic leggings (little big for me)
8pc. set of Caphalon cookware (currently $449 on the Caphalon site) - One of the lids’ handle is broken off, but they included it in the box. Pretty sure I can reattach it with a quick spot weld.
Well worth the $30.01 I paid.
So mine came in the original box, but it was pretty torn up:
I was skeptical because it had the return info on it, and I’ve gotten boxes before for good stuff that was broken or missing a crucial part.
Toby looks dubious too.
But - IT WORKS! It wasn’t even out of the wrapping inside, all the parts are there, and I just used it to heat up leftover pizza!!! So WOW, I got one of the spectacular boxes this time around, too! Woohoo!
It also came with a shirt, some chargers, a phone ring, and the gorgeous Christmas-color Irk bag. Thank you, Meh!
@Kyeh winner winner make some chicken dinner
@Cerridwyn
I will! Air fryer chicken.
@Kyeh I got a wine fridge, has some dings and dents, but it works!
@somf69 Wow, nice!
@Kyeh Toby is wondering where is his box. The heck with the oven?
@Kyeh I have that shirt!
@Kidsandliz Toby is an odd kitty - he doesn’t like getting into boxes. I suspect he has some past trauma from being in a box, maybe. He does love the laundry basket because he can see out the sides.
@sammydog01 Was it a Mediocritee?
@Kyeh Mine love my laundry basket too. They firmly believe it is their cat bed (sometimes there is all 4 in there but I can’t find that photo).
@Kyeh Got it in an irk too.
@Kidsandliz Those cats are adorable. You need to make a thread with pics.
@ShotgunX We’ve had threads of cat pics on occasion in the past. Some very cute cats have been posted.
Mine are all strays and I have been very lucky that they like each other. Starting from the bottom Lizzy is 14, Thing Thing is 8 and Tigger (the yellow) is 5.5. The missing one will be 6 in May (I know that as she was feral with her mama and siblings in my parking lot; siblings were killed by cars).
@sammydog01 Oh, hah!
@Kidsandliz Cuties!!!
@Kyeh So did Toby manage to pull the mouse into the laundry basket?
@Kidsandliz No, but he had fun trying.
@Kyeh
I have that tee too. I loved wearing it this past Xmas.
@Kidsandliz I really like the mustard cat. That’s the one I want.
@ShotgunX He is a sweetie and next to me right now partly draped across me (although my biggest lap cat is Thing Thing). He also likes to sleep by my head at night, at times curled against me.
Today I heard the beep-beep-beep of a truck in my driveway, which means one thing: my kickass FedEx guy (don’t hate) had something big so he had to back that thang up by the garage. Came downstairs in time to wave bye to him and had a huge box fully encased in stretch wrap laying by the garage.
What was in the box?
Score! Thanks, Meh!
But wait, what’s that? I found the other pedal, yay!
Oh, but here’s the thing. The front forks, yeah, they’re toast.
The Old Meh has returned! Shipping something huge and worthless for entertainment value. I’m here for it! And I might be able to cannibalize that bike and do something cool with the powertrain. Maybe. So Thanks, Meh!
@djslack What’s toast on the fork? It looks pretty generic, there’s probably loads of units available that would swap right in.
If you want to sell it as-is, name a price. If you’re in Texas or an adjacent state, I might even come and pick it up.
@werehatrack that silver part below the intentionally silver part is detached metal. The tube is broken off from the arch that connects to the other tube.
The fork is probably an easy swap. The rest I haven’t assessed yet.
@djslack @werehatrack Damn. That’s a cast and forged piece, so it really took a
bumpingsmashing in logistics. Forks are standardized enough that a replacement shouldn’t be any issue. What’s the tire size?Charger – there’s bound to be one off eBay or Amazon. Keys – just use a wave rake.
@djslack Noice! That’s like a $1500 electric bike (you know, when it’s new and it works)
@narfcake @troy yeah it looks like a pretty awesome bike. 26" tires and an integrated cargo rack.
I don’t know if it’s just logistics, it looks like it’s been together and some parts are roughed up a little, so maybe a return. But breaking a fork like that is impressive.
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@djslack @narfcake @troy Those OEM forks are often not very robust. I’ve had to replace a couple over the years. The worst are the ones that ship with crappy chrome on the tubes; the rust pits bubble up and eat the bushings if the bike gets the least bit damp. Things like big-box-store Mongoose, Ozone, Pacific, or (gag me) Roadmaster. But as flimsy as those may be, I’ve seen some aftermarket forks that managed to be worse.
Enjoyed looking at all the cool IRKs this go around…
My IRK has had “Barcode label unreadable and replaced” 3 times now. The last time I had this happen I got a box that was super destroyed and wrapped in a several layers of tape to hold it mostly together. Makes me think it has some heft to it if it keeps breaking out of the box. And it’s still headed in the right direction.
@metaphore Mine had the same notation. It is supposed to arrive late today.
Hefty indeed!
@metaphore You are the third jackpot of them! SO COOL!
@Lynnerizer I hope yours is wonderful too!
These are amazing irks so far! I’m very happy for you all and not jealous in any way.
@milstarr I’m happy for everyone but I’m still jealous that I skipped this time!
Wow… you all scored well this time! It’ll be back to Martha Stewart craft paint when I get one again next…
Cracked vase.
Generic earbuds.
IRK bag.
Sweatpants.
2 pack of single outlet cigarette adapters.
Who sticks a vase in a box without any type of padding to at least somewhat try to prevent cracking? At least I had bandages nearby.
@FreePasta meh almost never pads anything in an irk - breakable or not. As a result your experience isn’t unique unfortunately.
@FreePasta That’s what the sweatpants were for.
@FreePasta at least it wasn’t broken bottles of poo pouri and didn’t trigger a 2 day migraine upon opening the box! It can happen… don’t ask me how I know.
@FreePasta
THE OLD MEH, THAT’S WHO!
@FreePasta its called disappointment, @snapster says “you’re welcome”
I am quite jelly. Mine still says processing
@Cerridwyn Mine too. Seconded.
@Cerridwyn Me third. Maybe it’s going to be another epic IRK, in a good way.
@Cerridwyn Aww, don’t be jelly.
As the saying goes… The best is yet to come!
Photo to follow
TheHitDeal bathroom scrubber -a return with the person’s name and address still on the box; the box is trashed but all the parts are there and in their plastic bags. Plugged it in and it goes, didn’t before I plugged it in. Do not know yet if the battery holds a charge as I am charging it as I type. Currently $35-40 online. If it doesn’t hold a charge someone who already owns one can have all the cleaning heads for postage. I don’t have enough to clean to make it worth owning it, I’ll sell if the battery holds a charge.
Antoni Barcelona Glassware company, 2 wine glasses hand painted and hand blown. New and unopened. I don’t drink. $40 on amazon. The poor reviews say the paint peels even when you hand wash them. The good ones don’t so not sure what the deal is with that.
In beer we trust church stained glass window t-shirt. Won’t wear as I don’t drink. Appears to be men’s M. That likely I can sell.
The usual outdated iphone 6-8 screen protector. I likely have about 8 or 10 of those at this point.
Black irk bag. Those I keep.
Thanks meh for no sanitizer, masks, trackrs, phone rings, paint, unidentifiable objects, broken glass items, and things missing parts. I have more than enough of that stuff.
finally got photos taken
@Kidsandliz What’s the black hose in the last picture?
@Lynnerizer It is a 100’ indoor outdoor ethernet cord.
Mine arrived in a beat up box as well. Another air fryer!!! Meh must have quite and endless supply of these since so many people have posted these. Also received joggers size XL and a purple hoodie size xs. Quite a difference. Also got the car chargers and 2 sets of TMS charging pads (no TMS device, shocking!), and a black irk bag
air fryer
@braveit1
I can guess the reason the air fryer was returned is because the door doesn’t fully close. Some rubber trim wasn’t installed properly and the front face needs to be removed to get it in place. But it does heat up!
Thank you, Meh!
I will post a picture soon, but I got an iHome Robot Vac, a pair of ladies warm knee high socks, two car USB chargers, a soft white XL ladies t-shirt (love it), and a Meh bag. Nice $10 haul! Meh really took the regret out of the irk this time.
The box was HUGE and HEAVY! Seriously beat up packaging.
I wrestled it into the house.
Got big knife and attacked box. First view looked like some sort of bike?? Then lots of smaller items pushed down the side of the box, totally jamming it full.
I carefully pulled out and set up the items below, while gradually being able to see that there what looked like a bike down in there.
Side Items:
King Bamboo sheet set - I think a grandson will claim
The Bag - we fight over these
Bathroom vanity mirror that looks like it is lighted - Yes! Those nasty facial whiskers.
Muk Looks - would you believe … exactly my size! They will sit by the garage door so I can slide into them rather than running out on that dirty floor in my socks (and then dragging in that dirt)
A pretty little carrying case that maybe will add a little class to my travels?
The Bike:
The bike gradually appeared. I can’t get it out of the box by myself so will have to wait for some help.
I’m an aged grandmother. Grew up on a farm and NEVER learned to ride a bike. However, the whole rest of my family takes their biking very seriously - bike club, bike trips across Europe, exercise via biking, etc. My retired DIL now even works at a bike store assembling them and repairing them. I’ll soon be able to learn just what I actually got.
But I can read. On the bike it says GoEagle and GoPowerBike. I’ll report back when they’ve got it out of the box, clear set up, tested and tried. My serious problem will be just exactly who gets it?? Two families. Six grandkids. ???
@romellex So that is the same $1500 bike that @djslack got (look up higher in the thread). Since your husband is “in the business” if yours comes broken he may be able to fix it. In fact he may be able to help djslack get the parts he needs.
@djslack @Kidsandliz Don’t have a husband any more, but Daughter-In-Law or son probably can assess and do what is needed.
@romellex we are IRK twins! Fraternal twins at least.
The bike is pretty heavy. When you get it out don’t be surprised if it has something major wrong with it, but it’s probably fixable.
@djslack @romellex I apologize. I misread when you said DIL… I was skimming the post.
@djslack We are hoping so. Especially with DIL essentially in the fix-it business, and other family members pretty mechanical.
@djslack No problem.
@romellex That’s a great irk! The one that gets to ride the ebike is the one that comes and visits you because it can live at your house. That way no one can complain… Or 6 months with one family and 6 months with the other. Or sell it and go on a cruise!
@romellex That would have been a great irk even without the bike! Kudos!
@romellex
That is a very nice haul
Congrats on the fabulous haul!
Welp! I was going to complain about the mysterious lack of regret in my IRK, and then I saw the sheer deficit of regret the rest of you are facing, and must confess I found some regret after all!
-T shirt in yellow with a butterfly map design
-Solar heart light set
-Battery case (Popular Mechanic)
-Painted wine glasses - the box is very nice (and was bubbled wrapped, shockingly!) but sounds like the glasses may be meh?
-Fancy silver-on-black Meh bag
And a 4 pack of Detroit cityscapes. Um.
But no car chargers, accessories for cell phones I don’t own, Trackrs, or even computer cases! So thanks, Meh!
And congrats to the people drowning in non-regret! What a haul this has been so far for mehtizens!
I’m glad I was lucky enough to get back in the IRK game for this round.
Thanks, meh!
I have been a member of the meh community Since day zero, Plus I was a long time member of the original woot. Over the years I have received some true disappointments, I received some stuff that I could use some stuff that I threw away and some stuff I donated. I have received a delivery from a 18 Wheeler truck that had over 250 pair of “trippin” Eyeglasses, I’ve received a rumba, Some really good appliances like a panini maker and an air vacuum system, And I have appreciated every single item, even the speaker docs and candy corn.
Today once again I was amazed at what I received.
I got a…
beautiful thirty six c bra, not my wife’s size.
A couple of car chargers
A really nice t shirt with a raccoon on it
foundation that expires in two weeks
The obligatory meh bag
… And a Cuisinart Wine Refrigerator
A few dings and dents, but BFD
@somf69
Very nice.
OMG you guys are killing me! I am slated to get mine delivered today but watching the tracking tells me they will be rescheduling. boohoo. Then again I might be getting excited over trackers, tweezers and phone cases.
@Dakini
Mine is still processing
@Dakini @Star2236 mine is processing still too. I thought it was just me.
@kcface @Star2236 Mine is currently stuck 90 minutes away. I’d like to think they will deliver it tomorrow but it might be Monday.
Foot massager
Leggings
iphone screen protector
Car 12v usb adapters
Got a very large and heavy box claiming to be an electric bike. Too large to bring into the house so I tore into it on the porch.
First all the other stuff.
Set of full size sheets
Green battery storage case with tester
Roll of wrapping paper
Pair of muk luk slippers size 8.5
Burgundy celsius premier coat size medium
2 raiders themed irk bags
And then fully packaged and appearing brand new, a GoPowerBike Go Speed electric bike.
About an hour and 100 zip ties later, all the parts are there, it’s assembled and charging.
@metaphore I was gonna say from your previous photo above, your box is in 1000% better shape than mine was. Congrats on the score!
@metaphore WOW!!!
I think yours is the best yet!
@metaphore
Got any place to ride it to???
@metaphore I’m amazed and happy for you!
@djslack @romellex @kalma @gr8mick1 Any luck with getting your bikes to power on? I fully charged my battery but can’t seem to get it to power on. I had some doubts about if the battery would still be good, but the charger did change to green eventually, implying that it could tell it was fully charged. Maybe I’m just missing a step?
@djslack @kalma @metaphore @romellex powered on fine just held the button an or came on. Needs air in tires so didn’t get to test the motor assist but it did power up
@metaphore My son and grandson are coming this Saturday to take a run at it. I’ll let you know what we learn. They are both pretty fair mechanics and solvers of such. I couldn’t get them here this past weekend because of The Game.
@djslack @gr8mick1 @metaphore @romellex My son got it to power on, but there are some gears inside that are messed up. He’s ordered replacements and we’ll see how easy it is to repair.
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @metaphore @romellex Have the rest of you gotten to ride yours yet?
@Kyeh I transferred mine to another Mehtizen and had a wonderful albeit quick visit at the exchange. I was/am a bit overwhelmed with projects on various back burners so passing it along felt like the right thing to do. I’ll let them choose whether to share any success.
@djslack Oh, how cool - I hope they do get it running and tell us about it!
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @Kyeh @romellex Got mine to power on, the tires filled up, ready to ride, and then realized its too tall for me and its been too long since I’ve road a bike for me to give it a try when I can’t reach the ground. Hopefully I can find someone a bit taller to try it out for me pretty soon.
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @Kyeh @metaphore @romellex I think it is cool that those of you who got these are pooling your knowledge to make them work.
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @romellex
@metaphore Bummer that it’s too tall for you. (That makes me feel less regret about not getting one though because I’m sure they’d be too tall for me as well.)
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @Kyeh @metaphore I’m behind everybody in getting going on mine. 82-YO grandmother here and have never ridden a bike
. Ah, but the entire rest of my family does bike, some seriously, some REALLY seriously. One son and grandson came and checked it out (just plain bikers, but good mechanics). Missing keys, charger, something that mounts the seat to the frame. More than they wanted to attempt. But the other daughter-in-law actually works at a bike store assembling and repairing, and is a really serious biker. Has a friend with an amazing home shop who loves such projects. They should be coming to see it this Sunday or Monday (2/25 or 2/26). I expect they will lug it out of my living room and carry it off. Will give me frequent reports and I will share with you. They are in a bike club that does regular group trips, including chunks of other countries. And are VERY excited about my score.
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @Kyeh @metaphore My daughter-in-law and the friend (and wife) who should be able to get the bike up and running arrived Monday (2/26), packed it up and carried it off. He promised to let me know how things are going. A few early gleanings. He said that it was a good thing the bike was made in China, since most things made in China are from generic parts. So he should have no trouble finding needed replacements. I was just going to trash the big packing box, since he’d mounted the bike on a back car rack (with everything screwed/bolted down and a whole lot of shrink wrap). But he very carefully completely pulled the box apart and found several more missing screws and bolts. The key remained missing, so his plan is to drill out the hole and replace it. He is VERY excited about the bike. I am very happy to have it and all its parts out of my living room. If anyone is wondering this, I just gave it to him. Many friendship connections between he and his wife, my DIL and my now deceased son. Their bike club has wandered together for many many years.
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @Kyeh @metaphore @romellex The one @djslack received had no keys, a broken front fork arch, a bent derailleur hanger, bent derailleur, bent der guard, and missing charger. The lock will get picked and replaced, and everything else has allegedly arrived. When I get home, I’ll assemble and test it.
@djslack @romellex @werehatrack The keys are only to remove the battery from the bike and not necessary for operation. Unless you need to take the battery off you can ignore the missing keys
@djslack @gr8mick1 @kalma @Kyeh @metaphore @werehatrack I gave my bike to hj@tringa.com . He would really like to be included in these discussions as he goes to work assembling and getting it running. I promise he will give as much as he gets.
@romellex invite him to join the forum! I started a thread at https://meh.com/forum/topics/irk-ebike-club so maybe bike stuff could go be consolidated there and not have to be hunted in this reveal thread.
Grats to all the people who got the e-bike jackpot. Mine is nowhere near as good, but still pretty decent haul this time around compared to past IRKs.
The main item (and the box itself) was one of these things:
Appears to be open-box but unused; everything is clean, manual still sealed, etc.
Estimated value $50 sale/renewed, $90 when new.
Additionally received:
(~$8, but basically just e-waste)
($25)
($20 - Sapphire version)
($10 est.)
@ShotgunX
Wanna come detail my car lol. The inside actually needs to be cleaned
@ShotgunX I’ll take those earbuds if you don’t want 'em!
@PooltoyWolf I just checked, and the cheapest shipping option around here is almost $12. It would be cheaper for me to just PayPal you the eight bucks to buy it yourself, lol.
@Star2236 Okay, but only if your car is stolen:
It’s probably gonna get donated anyway since I already have a cordless vac. Would’ve preferred a robo-vac for personal use. Oh well. I donate most of the stuff I win at meh and woot anyway.
@ShotgunX That’s a shame! Oh well.
I hit the Jackpot too, which was awesome. For a variety of reasons we didn’t get to celebrate Christmas with my eldest, and what I had for him was pretty lame but now I have an ELECTRIC BIKE to give him. So thanks for CMA Meh!
We have the bike, a puffy jacket with faux fur around the hood in navy, size xl. An over the door coat rack, full sized sheets, a remote control green bird (also going to son), a battery storage case (also going to son) and cuisinart juicer - but the bowl has a giant crack going through the bottom and there’s a broken off piece in there too, and a beautiful blue irk bag.
All in all, I’m so thankful to have gotten this Irk. I do love my trackrs and all the other cool and interesting things I’ve gotten over the years, but dang, this one really made my week.
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
@kalma
Another bike, wow!!!
@kalma @Kyeh I wonder if they’re giving out these bikes because the market absolutely crashed for them with all the new local legislation and HOAs banning electric vehicles due to fire risk? There have been some crazy deals on e-stuff this past year too.
@kalma
Congrats to you!!
@Kyeh @ShotgunX I’m not sure, the box was really rough and looked like it had termites or some other insect that had made its home in it. Pretty sure they couldn’t have sold it like that.
I got a large, heavy IRK this time, so going in I had high hopes…got a robot vacuum!! An iHome Autovac Eclipse Pro, with the self-emptying dock and everything! Also crammed into the top of the robot’s box was an XXL Star Wars shirt (nice), a Casery iPhone X screen protector, a 2-pack of iEssentials USB car chargers, and what I assume is a pad for a TENS massager. (Butterfly shaped with two snaps on it, branded IQmassager), as well as a black IRK bag. Thanks for a great one this time, Meh!
@PooltoyWolf heavy box or did Fedex have a heavy listing on it in the tracking?
@Dakini As in, I picked it up off my doorstep and it felt heavier than my average IRK. LOL
@PooltoyWolf Ok thanks! I was pretty sure they all have a generalized weight on the fed ex tracking, I was just making sure!
@Dakini I’ve never seen a tracking page tell me my package might be extra heavy! Heh
@PooltoyWolf Me either! But then I have never had an extra heavy IRK! Heaviest I have had was an ice cream maker in one. I just started wondering if they have to change that 1lb 6"x4"x1" setting for something like a bike. haha
@Dakini I would imagine the e-bike boxes were huge and very heavy!!
Definitely better than most of the recent ones
Thanks!
Looks like I owe meh an apology for coming down on them for their recent IRK offerings. Just like Lloyd, they have found redemption. WTG!!
Wow meh has really redeemed themself with all these stellar irks! Congrats to everybody who got one.
Mine was fantastic too! Hard side luggage set with more stuffed inside. Awesome.
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
why is mine still pending! Running out of the good stuff before getting back to trackers and casery things…ship already!
@jchizmar Mine is pending too…the are looking for more good stuff for us!
@jchizmar @steelersluver
They better be, or there’s gonna be hell to raise
The box was absolutely fucked but the contents seem to be fine. Also had a large pair of cargo sweat pants and a small meh shirt, not pictured.
@SteveOOO
Very, very nice!
i got a good one
1 Cuisinart touchscreen 14-cup coffee maker. the plastic is a bit cracked near the lid, but it turns on and i don’t see how the crack would interfere with it working. now i have to learn how to drink 14 cups of coffee a day.
1 t-shirt, size small. it’s like, a corona beer label parody shirt that has a reference to the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. i’m an xl.
4 or 5 pads for a tens-unit thing, but no unit
2 usb car charger packs
1 black and silver irk bag
i tested it and it seems to work fine. i also found two pairs of women’s above-the-knee sweater socks hiding in the box.
Minimal regrets here!
Black IRK bag
Small tee shirt
Wine colored faux fur hooded coat, perfect for Little Red
Riding Hood
Towel Set
Solar hearts light set, just in time for Valentines Day!
Let’s Fit smart watch
Thanks Meh!
My son wants an electric bike for his bday, so I was hoping, but no-go.
Black and silver IRK bag
2 pack universal car charger
Tens pads, I have a Tens unit
2 screen protectors for phones I don’t have
Minx sweater socks
Star Wars t-shirt, size way too small for me
Kalorik Indoor grill
No regrets, just no bike.
@cbilyak I got basically the same thing except mine was an outdoor lantern that Meh was selling as a two pack for 50 bucks some time ago. I really didn’t want the ebike, we both have one but I don’t need an outdoor lantern either. lol
I’ll make someone happy on Buy Nothing with this lantern though! I like that.
@cbilyak The shirt is adorable!
@cbilyak same dilemma. My son’s birthday is in a week and has been begging for an e-bike so I was secretly hoping, though by no means expecting one. No dice.
@Kyeh it is a small, if you want it I am happy to send it. Neither of my kids want it.
@cbilyak Oh, thank you, but a small in their shirts is usually an extra small, so no way would it fit me.
I appreciate the offer, though!
Zero regrets at all. In fact, this was a true prize IRK.
Black and silver IRK bag
XL Leather Jacket (tan blazer style)
Thermometer
Some iPhone 8 screen protectors
and…
this:
So this is amazing. It’s a Vorwerk Thermomix TM6, and retails for $1,499. Still had the protective plastic film on it, and I set it up and everything is working. This makes up for the last several IRKs, which were truly regrettable.
@townmoron This one’s probably the real jackpot of the lot. Unlike the bikes, these things never go on sale.
@townmoron Wow!!! So lucky!
(The image isn’t showing up, at least for me.)
@townmoron
O!M!F!G! Talk about appliance porn!!! If appliances could get me off this would be up there with ovens and fridges. Lucky you!!!
@townmoron Wow, that’s a heck of a score! I have (most of) an e-bike that retails $1499 if you want to trade lol
I would actually like to hear the story of how Meh had this - maybe a sample from a deal that didn’t go through (or maybe morningsave/sidedeal has some rare kitchen deals).
P.S. I’m still holding out for that control freak deal.
@djslack @townmoron I seem to recall that a couple of models of GoPower bike showed up on SideDeal a while back, so these are most likely returns due to shipping damage, or maybe due to FXG “can’t find the address”, or some such. I’ve shipped enough crap over the years to have some tales of woe of my own in that area, including one customer who gave me their old address (the item bounced), then confirmed that the address was correct (reshipped, rebounced), then insisted that it was right (ditto, ditto) before realizing what they’d done. On the fourth try, it arrived at the correct door on time. Des trucs bizarres arrivent.
@werehatrack yeah, I’ve not seen them selling Thermomix units though. That’s the story I want
@djslack My suspicion is that some of the stuff in IRKs is samples obtained to evaluate whether to make a buy, oddball items included in a distress lot of mostly a different item, and the like. If they buy a brokered merch offer and it has just one or two of something in with 150 of a different item, it might be kind of hard to justify even putting it into a 'Thon.
@werehatrack that is very similar to how I imagined it.
All instant kit, no regret
@mbersiam Weren’t you wanting some pots and pans?
@Kyeh That wasn’t me, unless it was for a very specific thing (like candle making with my kiddo). I bought a set of “Lifetime” pans back in 2009 and they’re still doing amazing along with a my couple of cast iron pans.
My oldest at some point will want to move out and I’ve been stashing anything good away to give to her when she does. I have towels, knives, this pan now, and several other things.
@Kyeh @mbersiam
That was me but I got them for Xmas. I got new pans, although my pots are shot now.
@mbersiam
Oh - well, that’s good too!
@mbersiam @Star2236
So are you waiting for an Irk still?
@Kyeh @mbersiam
Yeah, seats it just got shipped yesterday.
@mbersiam @Star2236
Hope it’s a good one!
Have these all been the 10.00 Meh IRKs or are some of these the SideDeal IRK? I got one of each. Received the Meh, SideDeal created a label but FedEx hasn’t received the package yet.
@Dakini I know at least some were sidedeal.
@Dakini It’s been a mix, including some InkForIRK as well.
Personally, I think the high percentage of treasure is related to the relatively low total number of IRKs sold this time. That, and I suspect that they’ve been hoarding the good stuff for a major wave like this.
@werehatrack Well it has certainly been fun watching it unfold, even if my IRK wasn’t super…at least it wasn’t filled with a case of trackrs this time! haha
@Dakini my e-bike came from sidedeal, though I don’t think it’s likely they were processed/made differently?
@Dakini @werehatrack Oh, how I hope you’re right. Mine just shipped last Friday.
@OldCatLady @werehatrack My side deal IRK shipped too, says FedEx has it but still in Texas, no update on delivery date.
My fedex says: TOTAL SHIPMENT WEIGHT 1 LB
So it can’t be as good as some of you!! lol.
@user13771460 Mine said 1.4 pounds. It was heavier. Usually the weight given is just a holding weight.
@user13771460 Mine still said that an hour before it arrived. Meh apparently has one of the special accounts with FXG that makes size and weight less important, so sometimes FedEx doesn’t update the info in transit. All of Meh’s packages probably go out the door as one pound at minimum dimensions.
@werehatrack well fingers crossed then!
@user13771460 mine’s finally says shipped. And yeah there’s always a holding weight with them and they never updated so it is what it is.
@Kidsandliz @user13771460
… and after seeing what others have gotten the anticipation builds!
🫣
GOOD LUCK!
First, CONGRATS to everyone who scored a non regret able IRK!
Even though I yelled out “WOOHOO, THAT’S MY IRK” I still checked the name to make sure!
I’ve never gotten such a big box! It’s condition though, IDK how on earth it made it here with the contents still inside. There was almost more tape trying to hold it together then there was brown box!
Going in the gift box!
🫣
![enter image description here][1]
I was shocked when I saw a huge box at my door! I don’t ever track the IRKs so it’s ALWAYS a surprise when they arrive.
Okay, yes, I’m getting to the contents…
It was luggage, A 3 PIECE SET!
I said it was an omen to finally go on the long overdue, well deserved little getaway we’d been talking about forever. But within the hour that plan changed when my mom came down to help out with a few things and I asked if she needed luggage. Her and my sister are going away soon, the 3 piece set went home with my mom and I couldn’t be happier! Paying back is the most wonderful feeling ever!
Also inside was a XXL T-shirt that will fit one of the guys around here. Or we’ve got a new dust cloth. YAY!
Some sort of iPhone accessory. I haven’t seen it yet but know we don’t need it, we’re android user.
A double pack of USB vehicle chargers that will also be gifted.
Oh yeah, the super cool red and green IRK bag!
Thanks for showing so much love in these super spectacular Valentine’s Day IRKs Meh, and also to the worker bee’s who put them together! You’ve outdone yourselves!
Now let’s see if I can post some pics…
Times are tough right now and I was lucky enough to get the box inside and opened so no judgement please on my unfortunate pics. You’ll see what I mean.
[1]:
and finally the big one, 3 beautiful premium pieces of luggage! Thanks again Meh, you guys rock!
@Lynnerizer The iphone thing is likely a screen saver for a dinosaur iphone (6-8 is what has been on all the ones I have gotten and the newest is 15 plus there have been some without numbers that are newer than that) so likely not a gift anyone wants. The box looks like the one that came in my irk (and previous ones too).
@Lynnerizer Yay!!! Congratulations - I’m glad you got something wonderful. And can’t you borrow back the luggage after your mom’s trip to go on your getaway as well?
@Lynnerizer what an awesome irk!
Loved that you sent the luggage home with your mom…I bet she was so thrilled to have it!
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@Kyeh
Thanks Kyeh! Yes, I can definitely borrow the luggage back when we go away.
Mine’s finally shipped it says it’ll be here Wednesday which means sometime between Monday and Monday because it’s FedEx they’re rarely on time but they are occasionally early strangely enough
@gr8mick1
Whoa!!! So crazy when you score a really great Irk and then end up being jealous of someone else’s anyway!
@Kyeh well said!
Wow. I think every single Irk this time is better than any single Irk I’ve ever received.
Congrats to everyone with their fantastic hauls.
@OnionSoup they are the Highlander 3’s of irks. Or oceans 13 of irks. aka irk, the apology.
Seems like this was the Irk that isn’t including nearly as much regret as usual. Though, knock on wood, I’ve had more positive experiences with irks than real regret. This time around was a doozy! I got the $10 irk and the side deal one, and I don’t know which box is which. I scored with both. The big prizes - a new in box Calphalon set and a new in box Flexstride under desk elliptical. Plus some cute tshirts that are too small for me but I’ll be able to pawn them off on my partner, a great toothbrush from Quip, a Cuisinart steak knife set and other small goodies. Bags were the black and silver and a dark green. Thanks, Meh!
@jcpseattle Just set up the Flexstride and it’s new but definitely a return bc of the box getting crunched. The lever has what is hopefully just cosmetic damage. I’m excited to try it out!
@jcpseattle Wow. Terrific boxes; even the shirts are good ones.
Well I was a little disappointed when the FedEx driver ambled up the driveway with a box that didn’t seem to break their back.
I was really hoping for one of those e-bikes for my son for his birthday but no such luck. I was truly wondering if I’d have a whammy box but it was actually really great. There was an old school Star Wars shirt which my son immediately snagged, a shirt that matched some really soft cute pj shorts which my daughter snagged, a pair of fuzzy slides which the third one snagged and a brand new waterprooof coho cooler which will be heavily utilized as we love kayaking and floating the rivers in the summer. I don’t have a picture of most of it but I did get one of the cooler.
@sillyheathen that’s a really nice cooler, I’ve bought a couple of them now. Don’t forget to lube the zipper, it makes a real difference.
Sorry no bike but remember so far no one’s gotten one running yet so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise
@djslack you’re probably right. He would’ve been gutted if it had come and it didn’t work. And one of our friends has this cooler and adores it. I’ve been tempted to buy one multiple times in the last year so this was pretty ace! Better than a kick in the pants for sure.
@sillyheathen those are nice coolers. I picked one up at the MorningSave store last year when I had to get a white elephant for work. It was the first thing stolen.
Got mine yesterday. NO BAG
some portable ice bath thing - not sure if it has all the parts as there are no instructions and was clearly a return - this box served as my shipping box.
stuffed inside that box was also 1 pack of 2 car charger adapters and wall pop. And I haven’t received my refund yet so as of now I paid $42 for this regret…looks like it is time to reach out to customer service
@GBrunner321 contact support for your bag.
@GBrunner321 Somebody else farthe down got a water chiller unit for an ice bath setup, but not the bath itself. Maybe the two of you got the split halves of the same unit?
Does anyone else still show “Processing”? The anticipation is killing me seeing all of the Super-Meh contents!
@steelersluver There was an early advisory during the 'Thon that some of them would be pretty late getting out. I think there were a bunch preassembled, but those have apparently been exhausted. Better a possibly-worthwhile slow-to-arrive IRK than one that’s 72 TrackRs, a case of 1A car charger plugs, and a Macbook case, in my opinion. (This statement does not guarantee that a delayed IRK will be a terrific IRK, but I’d expect a “just get something out” IRK to be less than wonderful.)
Mine got out the door, but is not to arrive for 2 more days (Friday).
Just got mine.
Carlos Sanata Ear buds
Bali Design Ear Ring
Sherpa Socks
Green Meh Bag
IQ Massager with few parts missing (won’t be using that)
Cuisinart Digital Air fryer oven
@NoIRK The earrings are actually pretty - most of the jewelry they send out looks lousy to me.
@NoIRK hahaha i got the stick on pads for that iq massager you got
@naturallia Many of us did, I think.
@Kyeh I am waiting for wife’s verdict. They are made some sort of hard material stone/plastic
@naturallia I took got the stick on pad. The wires are either sold separately or were removed.
@NoIRK They look like mother-of-pearl, but it could be plastic.
Got my $10 IRK today. After seeing all of the cool swag people were getting, I had high hopes but low expectations. FedEx left a Bissell Air 320 box outside my garage. I opened the box and there she was, a brand new, stylish air purifier along with (2) Mented mascaras, twin pack of car chargers, Mac book cover and a pair of army green sweatpants/legging. Overall, no regrets whatsoever.
Got mine today. Both of them one from here and one from side deal. Neither one of them are mediocre. Assuming both items work I haven’t tried. But I’m not sure if either one of them are keepers. So without further ado
Pink bra is cute but it’s pink and it’s way too small
Second one to folloe
![enter image description here][3]
@Cerridwyn
@Cerridwyn WOWZA! That grill is nice, I have one. Not from here!
@Kyeh thanks that’s good to know. The air fryer might have interested in me if it was a smaller one. I don’t have a space for something that big I don’t think. I mean although the idea of registering a whole chicken makes me salivate.
@Cerridwyn Especially on a rotisserie, wow!
Can you set up a roasting station in your garage or something?
Ive had to rearrange my kitchen for the air fryer I got. I’m still not sure where my bread machine will go now - but my whole space needs to be rearranged anyway.
@Kyeh yeah I live in an apartment so no that won’t work but we’ll see. I have two slow cookers I’m trying to get rid of one well one is a instant pot by another name by a better name thank you. And the other is an older multi cooker without the pressure. That I’m trying to find a new house for. Maybe I’d have room after that. I also have a KitchenAid stand mixer I’m trying to find a new home for. With what do you call it the food pressure attachment so after that we’ll see. Then I have to determine what I actually use it. Because being only me it changes what you do to cook
@Cerridwyn
True.
Mine just arrived. I got an ultrasonic cool mist humidifier. Yeah
A pair of toe ice picks not really a San Diego necessity
Some blue glass paint
A pair of black pearl earrings
2 schrodinger toothbrush coins and a green tote bag.
@kcface Not spectacular, but still miles ahead of the IRKsome ones from the recent previous rounds.
@kcface Toothbrush coins! You know that @carl669 is pining for the one with the number 669, right?
@carl669 @Kyeh I have 9 coins but none have that sequence. Too bad.
@werehatrack I’m happy with this one and won it the old way. So for me $10 well spent. I had 68 trackers from pas IRKs so this was a relief.
Luggage, Sweatshirt, Wall clings and some random phone cases. Thanks Meh!
@drewbert60 Nice looking luggage, and wall stickers that are actually attractive, for once!
@drewbert60 those decals are awesome! And new luggage is always fantastic! Great irk!
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
I got the water chiller for a Pod ice bath. Seems to be an expensive item but didn’t include the bath itself. They did open it up and add in an IRK bag, t-shirt, additional drink lid, and a challenge coin. Kind of fun to get one of the weird IRKs after all these years, even if it’s not super useful.
@wargrind A while back I got the “tub” thing that goes with this. I had been hoping it would fit in my shower as a bathtub since I don’t have one. Nope. Too big in diameter.
I can’t figure out how to add images. I got stickers meant to be used with a massager (i saw that someone else got the massager but no parts to use with it) , an airfryer rotisserie thing, stuff for wine drinkers, bras too small, and shirts that will be given to my daughter.
No regrets here.
@naturallia Here are some instructions for adding photos: https://meh.com/forum/topics/unofficial-meh-exchange-reveal-thread#65cd259b073bb9e51630bb3f
@naturallia I took got the sticker thing. It’s already on its way to land fill.
Ahh of course it needs to be in landscape mode. I’ll figure this out.
And what is it with my posts shaking after i hit submit. It’s stressing me out!
It makes me feel like I did something wrong posting/commenting.
Got my irk today!
-Sharper image foot massager (looks like a return, but it looks new, so if it works I’ll be happy)
-Malibu Skye crossbody (I will definitely use it!)
-Meh T-shirt (love it!)
-2 mascaras (one for me and one for my daughter, lol!)
-glass screen-saver that won’t fit
-universal car chargers (are these worth keeping?)
-red and green irk bag
Oh…and one happy cat that has a new hiding spot to chill.
No regrets here…thanks for the Valentine’s love, Meh!!
@k4evryng Those car chargers are only rated for 5W, which is very slow by current standards.
@k4evryng pretty kitty
@k4evryng That is a very pretty kitty although I bet you have a lot of grooming to do with as long as the fur is.
@Kidsandliz now that she’s 17 it’s getting harder for her to keep up with all that hair.
Fortunately, she does enjoy being brushed…except for the belly of doom. As in…you try to brush my belly and you’re doomed. 
@k4evryng I had a Maine coon mix and she needed far more help grooming (she died 2 years ago 3 weeks short of 20). I have a long haired (really soft and tangled easily) one now who hates having her belly brushed. I finally chose to hold her by the nape of the neck and stand her up on her hind legs. I mostly live through that.
I have envy for all these toaster ovens. One of the few appliances I want but I don’t have. This round of IRKs is just fantastic- so happy for all of us!
Wow! Mine says it’s due to deliver February 20. Now I’m very curious as to what I will receive. These reveals have been fun to read
My instant regret showed up today, a day late. Here’s what I got:
• Green IRK bag
• Mother of Pearl earrings
• 2 Schrodinger’s Toothbrush Club coins
• Smooshed package of Pain Cakes
• Cute T-shirt, size small (won’t fit me)
• Jashen V16 stick vacuum cleaner. Looks new.
Reviews seem to indicate there might be battery issues with the vacuum, but that’s probably the case for most stick vacs. Hoping this might turn out to be better than my Dyson V10, which sucks in a not so good way.
Thanks Meh!
@heartny Awww that shirt is the cutest! I just want to pinch their cheeks! Good irk!
Got mine in. A day late for Valentine’s but perfect for my birthday. Happy birthday to me. It’s like they know I have vacation plans soon.
Olympia lancer luggage.
Green IRK bag
Box of pain cakes
Knitted hat and scarf

Thank you, Meh! & SideDeal… The IRK Prayer… Please let it be new in only a tattered box.
It seems mostly new! Turned on, heated up, 2 parts missing (splatter shield & roasting rack - replacement parts are $30 at ninjakitchen).
@tahshar
That shirt is awesome!
OWLS! TOWELS! JOWLS! AWESOME!
-Meh T-shirt (love it!)
-red and green irk bag
-2 mascaras
-glass screen-saver for an iphone x(my roommate is shopping for a new iphone from his 6, so that might end up useful)
-universal car chargers
-3 purple bracelets (ooh pretty, my favorite color!)
-an ihome eclipse robovac/mop.
Sweet, thanks meh! My floors thank you.
Can anyone help me identify… what this is? I apparently have - half of two of them. There are unconnected circuit boards with nothing to connect them to. Any ideas what I got… parts to?
@Aaronlane Could it be parts of a rowing macine or some other kind of exercise equipment?
Meh.
1 flat, deflated memory foam pillow
1 XS shirt
1 5X brown lounge wear outfit
1 solar light heart string
Looks like they raided the dollar tree.
The second hand store may appreciate
@pattyrusk1 Sometimes it takes awhile for the memory foam stuff to puff out. Maybe it will inflate?
@milstarr I noticed this morning it did inflate a bit. The last one they sent me did not, so I was surprised this one did.
Kids electric scooter
Hand sanitizer gel
2 mascara
Car chargers
1 tracker
1 magnetic changing cable (non pro version)
And for those who didn’t get a bag, I got 2
@robteaboy Kids scooter doesn’t work. will turn on when plugged in. Turns off when unplugged. I tried troubleshooting. All connectors look good. the battery shows 16.58V on a multimeter when label shows 21.6V
@robteaboy battery may be below the cutoff. You may be able to jump start a charge by bridging in 18-20 volts while it’s plugged in. Or connect 18v to the cells behind the battery management chip for a while to bring the cells up to the point the system will let it charge. Careful with the polarity, maybe do it outside on concrete in case you set off the fireworks.
WOOOOO!!!
My irk arrived yesterday. After seeing some of the earlier reveals I was kind of hoping for an air fryer but I’m happy with what I got.
The box said “do not use a knife to open” but I had to get through all the tape.
medium sweatpants
purse
sunglasses
compact mirror (seems a bit large to me)
irk bag
Olympia teal luggage set
@mehla Wow! Very nice!
@mehla LOVE the color!! Very nice irk!
Super heavy IRK! At first I thought it was only what was on the box, a TackLife High-Pressure airless paint sprayer, Model PPS01A which seemed pretty nice, but then I decided to open the bottom of the box and that was where Meh had crammed a bunch of other items.
There was a cosmetic bag, sold on Ulta for 56.00 https://www.ulta.com/p/vertical-quilted-train-case-with-mirror-pimprod2040723
Savvy Cie jewelry set and an extra “P” necklace, is said to be 18K, but plated over stainless…they say valued at 250: https://www.savvycie.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/9-piece-genuine-gemstone-18k-gold-plated-travel-jewelry-set
but Nordstrom Rack sells it for 38: https://www.nordstromrack.com/s/savvy-cie-jewels-9-piece-jewelry-gift-set/7610332
And a Jessica Simpson wide brimmed hat that has an open top.
All in All, pretty nice. I’ll likely give most of it away, hoping my son in law wants the paint sprayer, if not I might attempt marketplace to recoup some of the IRK price and the accompanying Mehrathon items I bought to lower the price. haha
@Dakini Oh, and I did get a nice black bag
Thanks for posting the link to the cosmetic bag. I got one in my IRK and my granddaughter nailed it right away. Plans to use it for her knitting, with those cosmetic slots holding the shorter circular needles. I just sent your link to her so she will know how Ulta lists it.
I got a cuisinart pressure cooker that was discontinued due to a safety recall in 2017. Not sure what I’ll do with it. Suggestions?
It is still a great soup/stew pot. And if it is stainless steel, it can be used for dyeing clothes and things.
@romellex You might also check out why it was recalled- I just got a new inner pot for a pressure cooker because they labeled the fill line too high.
@romellex @sammydog01 @Sweetbabyjames
If it’s the CPC-800, I got the same one in my last IRK. I couldn’t find anything about it. I’d appreciate any info about any recall before I blow myself up…
@romellex @Sweetbabyjames @ybmuG I’m seeing it as discontinued but can’t find a recall.
My SideDeal Irk arrived last Friday, finally.
Ninja Foodi Neverstick Vivid 8 piece cookware set RED
Kenneth Jay Lane ring, pave crystal dome, hematite
Essential car chargers (2)
XS tee
Casery glass screen protector, iPhone
Green/yellow bag
Akribos XXIV watch, diamonds and Swarovski, RED
Because MEH is devious, everything was stuffed into the cookware box, and the watch was stuffed into the KJL box.
Surprise! There was no watch in the watch. It’s just a case. I went to have a battery put in, and the tech and I stared at it. Tomorrow I’ll go to a real jeweler’s shop, and have them put works inside. It’s a very pretty case, with three diamonds on the face and a bunch of Swarovski crystals around the (empty)case. I surmise that this was a salesman’s sample. It didn’t have a box. Dammit, now I want it to work!
@OldCatLady It is a pretty watch!
One local jeweler closed up shop in December. The local Kay closed last Friday, with no notice. The big downtown jeweler doesn’t do watch repairs any more. I’ve ordered some quartz watch guts from AMZN, and Youtube is my friend. Excelsior!
@OldCatLady I hope you can fix it - let us know!
/showme
red broken watch case
Irk included a 15 pot set!
Which is funny because we bought the caphalon set in the mehrathon.
Meh
finally back from my 2 week vacation and came home to:
cuisinart CWT-100 warming tray
black meh bag
case for iphone
bunch of n-95 masks
avec le filles faux leather coat
tan with no tan lines due to private pool
fine… that last thing wasn’t in the bag, but it’s worth mentioning dammit.
wife likes the jacket, but it’s too big. so, not sure we’ll keep anything other than the meh bag, but still a nice hall.
Better late than never?
refurbished Cuisinart food processor
2-pack USB car chargers
Merkury LED smart bulb
iPhone X screen protector
IQ Technologies TENS lifetime warranty
IRK bag
@Bretterson Does the food processor work?
@Bretterson I like that silver and black bag! Nice.
Can’t post a pic right now, but I also got mine. The main item was a FitNation RockNFit vibrating exerciser… Interesting! Also got a couple of XL T’s, screen protector, and a very cool red with neon green print Meh bag!
