this sucks. it happened too fast. where’s the anticipation? the buildup? the thrill of knowing what’s to come, but just having to wait for it? come on, tease me a little. make me want it even more by making me wait for it.
@carl669 Exactly, it is great when we have to question if we even ordered something. Then a month later a box randomly shows up and we don’t know why. If I get this in under a week I won’t have as much time to enjoy the regret!
@carl669 well if this IRK is like my last IRK it will spend about 1.5 weeks floating around GA. Then I will forget about it and it will show up at my door about 3 weeks from order time.
Now, keep in mind, it will more than likely be delayed an additional week because there will be a freak snow storm in Atlanta and of course we know IRKs don’t like the snow and then they will start dropping out of the truck like frozen iguanas in Miami!
part of the regret is that instant should mean eventual. what is this? weareawesomeandshipfast.com?? no, it’s meh! and they need to live down to the name.
As others have commented, your shipping date and arrival date don’t have a whole lot to do with each other. In Indiana many of our packages hang out and party for 3 or 4 days or a week…and some take additional side trips before finally heading back out again.
What? You say there is a more direct route than the 2 long sides of a triangle and an extra 1500 miles than going through Indiana? Ha! Clearly you don’t understand how things get shipped.
@carl669 At least you got an update on the 24th. I just checked mine and no update since the 22nd when it was in transit to Greenwood, IN. Apparently mine is walking to Greenwood. Started its journey on the 22nd like yours at about the same time. Mine is, apparently, still “in transit”.
Is this where we also tell what we got? I just got a 3 pack of Dickies work socks, a flexi leash with poop bags, a 5 piece lens kit (which oddly enough I still haven’t opened the one I actually bought) and an OFFICEJET PRO 6830. I haven’t pulled the printer out to see if it completely works, but dang.
Mine was the initial 12:00 am offer, I’d like to think I was one of the first as I hit the buy button as soon as it appeared amid the F5s, and was through the purchase dialog in less than 20 seconds according to my computer’s clock (I’d been training).
Mine shipped and I am already filled with regret. Mine was a VMP so I feel like a second class citizen. Last IRK I snagged was the first IRK that was put up-some really good stuff-none of that returned shit that never works. Expect to go back to the SOS for this one.
Mine is (supposedly) at another “FDR” center in Commerce City, CA. The USPS has yet to get its dirty hands on it, but looking at some of these other reports, who knows for sure where it is.
Has anyone figured out what these FDR centers are? The extraordinary obtuse Newgistics (now part of Pitney Bowes!) websites offers no information.
Mine is getting closer - it’s finally in the hands of USPS and on its way from Reno, NV as of 3:45 am this morning. With luck it will be here tomorrow.
And I just noticed in the header background of the Meh Tracking page there’s a dim map that shows where your package is. I increased the contract and brightness on this screen grab:
Mine has been at “Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item” Since the 23rd
I do live In Texas and I’m super close to the Meh office so it shouldn’t take that long to get here.
I’m afraid mine grew legs and walked off.
Woop woop! JUST got my notification too. I got the 11 pm CST one. Clearly there is no pattern, but there must have been a big shipping push yesterday at Meh!
I miss shipping weight info. It means nothing and everything all at once.

oh, and my irk (12am) shipped as well. yay!

@carl669 @raccoon81
You haven’t ordered anything since they changed their shipper, have you?
@carl669 @sammydog01 I am in the same state, other than no shipping weight it has worked decently. Plus I laugh… what is this snow stuff you speak of?
/giphy snow?
@carl669 Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl
I’m confused with your complaint. Did you buy an instant regret kit, or did you buy a delayed, eventual regret kit?
@lichme Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich!
part of the regret is that instant should mean eventual. what is this? weareawesomeandshipfast.com?? no, it’s meh! and they need to live down to the name.
@carl669 Well, if you WANT it to be eventual, and it’s not, then maybe they are doing their job.
@lichme damn you and the logic you rode in on.

@racoon81 i feel we may all be disappointed when either plastic or metal ergonomic handles show up wrapped in yellow mangled irk bags
@blndfayth I would unironically love to try one of those handles. I thought of them when I was shoveling snow yesterday.
what is this evil black magic… the irk has already shipped you say?
mine went from TX to IN to TX. the impressive part is that it made it from IN to TX in an hour. maybe I’m getting a supersonic jet?
A FDR facility? Are they sending you flowers, @carl669?
@therealjrn maybe they’re sending me a flight data recorder.

@kalma Here is where you tell what you got
https://meh.com/forum/topics/irk-reveal-thread
Mine shipped. Got the second to last chance IRK. Excited to regret my purchase!
No shipping weight so I expect an empty box or an “I owe you”
/giphy too soon
@RdiPr already feeling the regret??
It’s PARTY TIME in Greenwood, IN
So just out of curiosity, which iteration of Irks did you win? Wondering if they are shipping in order of purchase?
@tinamarie1974 VMP hour IRK. So fairly late in the day.
@tinamarie1974 Same here, VMP hour.
@tinamarie1974 I think I was VMP hour and it’s still processing. Takes a lot of logistics to get the pallet of Pixel 4s ready to ship to me.
@tinamarie1974 another VMP
/giphy society
@tinamarie1974 VMP.
@tinamarie1974 the last few irks didn’t seem to ship according to purchase time. I’m not sure if they do it some other arbitrary way.
Mine shipped now.
@tinamarie1974 First one. Just got lucky this time; the last several were VMP.
@tinamarie1974 Second irk, shipping notice last night
Mine was the initial 12:00 am offer, I’d like to think I was one of the first as I hit the buy button as soon as it appeared amid the F5s, and was through the purchase dialog in less than 20 seconds according to my computer’s clock (I’d been training).
So I am “In Transit” - now the fun begins …

@stolicat Fulfillment, Delivery & Returns
@Ignorant Ah! Thank you!
So if nothing else, there is the hope of at least one of those three activities occurring …
Mine is getting closer - it’s finally in the hands of USPS and on its way from Reno, NV as of 3:45 am this morning. With luck it will be here tomorrow.
And I just noticed in the header background of the Meh Tracking page there’s a dim map that shows where your package is. I increased the contract and brightness on this screen grab:
@stolicat Pretty neat huh? They started doing that a little while ago.
Mine is still processing.
@lilsrm123 IRK Still processing. The bandanas were delivered yesterday
Mine has been at “Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item” Since the 23rd
I do live In Texas and I’m super close to the Meh office so it shouldn’t take that long to get here.
I’m afraid mine grew legs and walked off.
Hoping it will pop up tomorrow at my door.
@adamxa Same here. No apparent movement since the 23rd when it “departed”. Must be walking.
Woohoo! shipped! Got the 12am ET one.
Woop. Mine just updated to shipped as well.
Mine shipped also!!! I got the one before the vmp only one. I hope it’s a few pallets full of stuff
Woop woop! JUST got my notification too. I got the 11 pm CST one. Clearly there is no pattern, but there must have been a big shipping push yesterday at Meh!
Snagged the 12AM one, just shipped. No phone calls about loading docks yet…
Well for what it’s worth I ordered one of the ones they put up for sale at 10am on Monday and I got the shipping notification at 9:31am EST.
Do they ever send the fabled notes anymore or is that more of a thing that the “other guys” do?
@bdp The other guys quit putting notes in due to low response.
I know, it’s weird, it’s like people didn’t even look because they thought they were getting a bag of crap.
USPS, are they all being shipped this way or is mine really small?
@Birdheh pretty sure they are all shipping Newgistics.
@Birdheh
aw, that’s ok. You’re probably big in lots of ways!
@Birdheh @therealjrn
@Birdheh @therealjrn size does not matter
/giphy giggle
