IRKathon 2022 Reveal Thread!
24Looks like I am the lucky one to start this thread! My IRK just arrived and I made haste to get it opened and photographed to document this auspicious event.
Requests have been made to share your purchase price. Meh says it isn’t relevant, but some people like to geek out on stats or try to perceive patterns, so I’ll oblige.

Price Paid: $0/a lifetime of being branded with Meh and Mediocre’s mark
Contents:
Thanks, Meh! Both for a solid IRK with a fine balance of regret and reward, and for a solid day of entertainment/distraction from work!
To maybe put an end to something before it starts: I see the coupons will be emailed so they are not expected to be in the box.
The Morningsave coupon and super fast shipping/arrival suggests that this IRK has been packed and sitting in the warehouse waiting for its moment to shine since a prior event. Proactive IRKs are not a bad thing!
@djslack nice box!!
@djslack Not too shabby
@djslack @tinamarie1974 That “nice box” comment would have been more appropriate when he got the X-box box filled with books rather than the gaming system. Maybe this is in partial payback for one of the biggest disappointments in meh history.
@djslack @Felton10 um, I actually thought it was a nice box
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Going to copy the format that OP did:
Price: $90 1st IRK
Contents:
1 6 piece drawer organizer
1 XL TKO Base layer
6 count of Killer Curls & Coil Power conditioner
2 md formula PHD Hyaluronic Cell-Renewal Night Moisturizers
2 2-count Universal Car chargers
1 Partu Air Purifier
1 Meh IRK Bag
The only thing I might use is the Air Purifer but everything else is whatever. But I did break my IRK cherry so I’m glad for that. The base layer would be nice if it was my size instead of XL though…
Well my IRK arrived, and do I have regrets?
Hell Yeah!
But it’s because I’m a grouchy old man!
I’m sure a lot of women would be thrilled with this stuff.
MKF Mia collection handbag
Vent phone holder
Cricut foil
2pk ladies form fitting tops, size M/L
2-3pks mind socks
I Love Grandma, kids book
2pk Happy Socks
Not included:
Coupons, assuming that they will be sent digitally
No MEH tote, unless they expect me to use the MKF purse for this purpose!
Thanks MEH
@lonocat For a second there, I thought you got a Michael Kors bag haha, but it does look like a decent haul depending on what you spent on your IRK
@lonocat I don’t see a price paid. Hmmm.
$200 ?!?
@mike808 $70
@lonocat I was just ribbing you. It will be interesting when we get our first $200 IRK reveal.
@lonocat you didn’t get a meh reusable tote? That’s usually the best item.
@lonocat
As a women I’d definitely be okay with that compared to some of the shit I’ve received.
@lonocat contact support for your meh bag.
Mine haven’t even shipped yet - how did you guys’ ship and get received?
@hammi99 mine are atill processing as well.
@hammi99 @mbersiam I suspect mine was an extant IRK ready to go before this event happened, unless they put the Morningsave coupon in as a joke. Also, I live just a few hours away from Meh HQ so when they ship something FedEx I usually get it the next day. Smartpost or whatever the equivalent now is takes about three days I think. I got a shipping notification Friday morning and thought “wow, that was fast!”
I’ve had IRKs take almost two weeks to ship before, too, so it just depends on how the crap is flowing through the warehouse.
@djslack @mbersiam Ours were from August 2020 so actually they’re really late.
@djslack @mbersiam @sammydog01 that sounds more prolonged than instant.
@djslack @njfan @sammydog01 yay i got shipping notification one tomorrow and one on Thursday they come on time
@djslack @mbersiam @njfan @sammydog01 Mine are probably both arriving today. It looks like somebody at FXG mashed the wrong button while scanning one of them, and the status went from “on truck for delivery” to “Durr, I don’t know”. We shall see. (It briefly was “on truck for delivery”, and then changed to “will be delivered by FedEx Ground, not USPS”, which is very DurrDurrDurr since it was supposed to be delivered by FXG to begin with.)
@djslack @njfan @sammydog01 booo the one that was supposed to arrive today updated to tomorrow. Now i’ll have to compare trackong numbers to determine price point per box
@djslack @njfan @sammydog01 and now they’re bith updated to arriving on Saturday
I wonder how they decide what order to ship them in; clearly not by time of order.
I ordered two this time around, and the more recently ordered one has shipped (and days ago at that), but the earlier one has not.
For once, I actually got mine early! And it was chock-full of regret.
Got me a:
‘Unicutie’ Putty/sticker kit? Not exactly sure what it is…
2 (more) Pixel TrackRs… how is Meh not out of them yet?!
iPhone 8 case
Simple puzzle for youngins
4x sketchy-looking travel chargers
Burgundy colored (I think) IRK bag
Just opened up the UniCutie… thing. If i actually paid money for this, I’d be pissed! In this sizable box, there’s a tiny little ‘sticker’ sheet, 4 crappy markers, 3 little blobs of translucent putty, … and three full vials of very fine glitter.
Hmmm… now to think of who I don’t like that has a young kid…
@psbales is that a new IRK bag color? That part’s impressive!
@psbales I did buy a couple. They are in my stash of little gifts to have when I forget a birthday or need to send a smile. Will have to pick a particular child that I am annoyed with the parents. Looks like glitter everywhere and maybe sticky goo with a short playtime distraction. I have a couple other toys that are messy that I am waiting for the child to reach a good age to gift it. I am the evil auntie.
@djslack I don’t think it’s a new one? I think I have another one that color, but my bag collection is in some random box that I haven’t found since my last move.
@speediedelivery Between the markers, glitter the consistency of flour, and the fairly crumbly & sticky goo packs, you’d be evil incarnate. Do it!!!
Mine came in! $5 irk here as I was one of the lucky ones who saw the first irks right at 11 pm CST and bought it right away.
Contents:
1x Red Irk bag
1x set of superhero kids socks
1x set of M4 sized blue clawz
1x Iphone 6/7/8 case
1x 5 piece bamboo kitchen utensil kit.
2x vacuum sealed stainless steel glasses
The kitchen utensil 5-piece kit and the 2 glasses totally make this irk worth it. I dont think i’ll have a use for the rest of the items and likely use them as gifts.
@Vitanima
I think there are people in this forum who are really interested in the Clawz…
@Kyeh @Vitanima Man, I would legitimately love another pair of clawz. Mine are my go to yard shoes and starting to fall apart. M4 is too small for me though.
@Kessilari @Vitanima
I wear mine for yardwork too - my neighbors think they’re so cool!
@Vitanima I think you got shortchanged two toes, unless you’re a Simpsons character.
@Kyeh @Vitanima I LOVE mine. Received a pair that actually fits in the last holiday exchange.
@Kessilari @Kyeh @Vitanima
There was a thread where a bunch of us offered our extra claws not to long away but nobody wanted to pay for shipping.
@Vitanima I thought the Claws were ridiculous until my wife found them in my kid’s closet and was annoyed she was hiding them since they didn’t fit my kid, but my wife could fit in them.
Next think I know my wife has them by the door and are the shoes she slips on when she makes a quick dash outside or into the basement for laundry. She loves them.
@Kessilari Do you wear size 6? I got some red clawz
@Dakini I wish, I wear 9ish in womens or 7/8ish in mens
@Dakini @Kessilari I wear a 6 …
@Kessilari @Kyeh If you want them and want to pay actual shipping, they are yours. Otherwise they are being donated…I wear a size 9 and I don’t even know anyone with that small of a foot! haha
@Kessilari I just posted the box contents. I live in MN if you want to figure shipping.
@Dakini @Kessilari I have an Irk coming on Sat. so I guess I should see if I get any myself; I’ll let you know! Thanks. It would be perfect if I got a pair of 9s and we could trade.
@Kyeh Did you receive Clawz?
@Dakini I didn’t … but I’m pondering whether I really need another pair; it looks like shipping to CO would cost about $15?
@Dakini I wonder if they’d allow you to ship them in a padded envelope?
Thanks for checking with me, in any case.
@Kyeh I will check into it!
@Dakini Thanks!
Price paid:$55
Pfaltzgraff flatware service for 8
Box of 25 - KN95 masks
Box of digestive tea bags
One black TrackR pixel
Red Meh bag
No regrets, prefer to pay less but had fun!
@njmartin I surmise that the TrackRs have become so much of a Tradition by themselves that Meh will keep doling them out in the IRKs as long as that pile of them is still around. (And I’m guessing that it’s a pretty big pile yet, since some still get absurd multiples.)
@njmartin maybe you can return your kit since there was no regret.
That flatware service for 8 is pretty much on par with what you paid so it’s double free since you’ll have all those $5 coupons too!
I got a reusable bag, a Princess gift bag, a dog toy, and some KN95 masks.
Oh, and 47 TrackRs
I unboxed/demailered them all and put them in the bag.
It might actually be “worth” the $100 I paid for it, but…how?
@presbypenguin
Wow. You really got screwed by the trackers.
@presbypenguin are you related to @placidpenguin? I think I miss them
@llangley @PlacidPenguin @presbypenguin I’m pretty sure that penguin wouldn’t pay a hundred dollars for an irk.
@presbypenguin
/giphy coupons?
@presbypenguin they work with the swiftfinder app.
Well I got the trackRs too ( didn’t count how many but a bunch in an envelope) , one black bar chair, I irk bag, one wall covering says love on it… $35 paid for it — meh for sure keeping only irk bag.
Glad I cancelled the $80 one I bought by accident lol. Thought it showed $30 so I clicked it then when saw what it cost I was like no way and cancelled. Should have cancelled this $35 irk
@AttyVette Bar chair?
Paid: $70
Contents Include:
1x Black Meh Bag
1x Monster Retro Qi Wireless Charging Bluetooth Speaker (actually really cool)
1x Bath robe, white
1x Travel jewelry box
2x IQ Massager
2x Erasable Labeling Markers
16x TrackR Pixel
@dslonaker No coupons, though. Any idea where/when we get those?
@dslonaker Yep, they’ll be coming via email, hopefully sometime this week
@dave @dslonaker I received the $5 coupons. Are the Mediocritee coupons for members coming under separate cover?
@dslonaker lmk if you figure out how to work that speaker. I got one and still can’t figure it out. Honestly probably just broken.
@dslonaker that speaker looks awesome! I almost bought it before but chickened out. Enjoy!
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
@dslonaker
Very nice.
Got my IRK.
Price: $50
Contents:
1 Red IRK tote
1 Detroit WallPops kit
1 TrackR Pixel
1 set of 45-piece silverware
1 box of Helps digestive tea
The silverware seems decent, will make for an excellent gift to someone, I’m sure.
The tote is definitely awesome.
I look forward to playing around with the TrackR to see if I can like… purposefully lose something to try to find it? IDK.
And maybe I can use the tea.
the wall art is probably going in the trash though.
@sstaver
I’ve been wanting a Detroit wall art, I live right outside Detroit.
@sstaver @Star2236 If @Star2236 doesn’t want Detroit wall art I have a nephew who probably would. Both my nephews currently live in Georgia but one was born in Dearborn (just outside of Detroit) and they both love Detroit and Michigan sports teams.
Price: $100
Contents:
2 king size sheet sets (decent, but too large for my queen size bed)
2 sets of Justice League socks (size 3-9)
1 squeaky dog toy that my dog won’t play with
1 red IRK tote
Here’s my $15 treasure IRK:
1 Pack of playing cards.
1 jar of Secret Collagen Facial Peeling Gel (will it wipe the smile off my face?).
1 pair of Forever Young gold-tone sneakers, size 9, way too big for my tiny feet, but could have used the youth from the Forever Young part.
1 Santana Oye Active Noise Cancelling over the ear wireless headphones (Signature Tuning by Carlos Santana!).
and last, but not least
1 red IRK bag.
Not bad for $15; thank goodness, no TrackRs (got a whole case of them last year)
Paid $20
1 Eight-piece towel set (Kid’s dorm-bound)
Travel Jewelry case (meh)
2x iPhone X glass screen protector
1x iPhone 6 case
‘Tough’ USB wall charger
Misc makeup brush
17 TrackR Pixels (Trash-bound)
1 Black meh. bag
So glad I didn’t pay more than $20
Wish I’d paid less
Regret seeping in like algae on a basement wall
@crow I was about to trash my TrackRs but after some research, found out they work with the Swiftfinder app. Already hooked one up for my son’s keys and it is working.
@crow @dgbarstow2 I was just about to ask what everyone was doing with their trackers. I previously received a bunch and they are … Just sitting
@aquastardreamer @crow @dgbarstow2
Yeah, me too! Thanks for the heads up on the app!
My two IRKs shipped!! Friday July 1 delivery, will post contents and clarify the $5 and the $20 one.
Mine just arrived. I got a black tote bag
The Cuisinart food processor that’s today’s deal
16 trackers
And a 4xl shirt
@kcface Nice! I already have a different one but I was really fighting the urge to get the one listed here today. Great size and I like the red appliances.
My 8am $5 Irk arrived today. One of the more unusual items I’ve gotten.
1 TackLife Safe
3 Iphone X glass screen protectors
1 Pack of 3 insect repel wristbands
1 unnecessarily beefy USB wall charger
The safe works and looks to be brand new, though it was just sitting in the box. I think I’ll actually wind up using it.
@Bingo
I’d be so happy if I got a safe like that.
Got my 3 p.m 65 buck IRK today.
1 black IRK bag
1 barbarian jump rope
1 100 piece pond party puzzle
1 solar powered 100 led light string
1 Muvi kx-2 camcorder might actually do something with this one.
@Huffie86 This is the best irk I’ve heard of in this thread so far, even at 65 bucks. All of those items I’d love.
Going from memory… 70 bones…
Reddish tote.
Mini projector (native 720 p, sells 50 - 80$)
Queen size sheet set. Would be perfect for your granny.
Face massager/complexion gadget
Four or so coin purses?
Christmas socks
I think that’s it
$20 worth of Meh…
*A pack of 16 Trackrs
So… basically an Instant Regret Breakup Kit!
@GenWithaG123
Instant regret breakup kit. Lol
@GenWithaG123
/giphy Thick Queen
Here’s the IRK that got me ten consolation coupons.
TrackR (Tradition!)
Verisonix Hybrid N100B headphones
Black IRK bag
iPhone 6/7/8 case (Tradition!)
Black sports bra that actually fits (Misteak? It’s marked XXXL, so they might have thought it would be too big.)
Cuisinart jungle-prints knife set
Reasonable, given the coupons.
@werehatrack Oh, and a boxlet of KN95 masks.
And no bra. That was in the other IRK.
![Five-buck-chucker][1]
This is the box that actually had the sports bra in it, not the other one.
TWO TrackRs (Tradition!)
Textured 15" MacBook Pro case (craft material)
Red IRK bag
Vacuum-insulated tumbler (useful)
Expenditure: five bucks. Meh level: 9.7
[1]:
@werehatrack And now I think I know why those vacuum tumblers were on Meh. The lids screw in, making them hard to replace if they get damaged. And trust me, the lids for these vacuum tumblers do break if the unit gets knocked over and heads for the floor. Most of the 30/32 oz ones use the same size range, resulting in a lot of interchangeability, and many of the 40 oz ones use that size as well (they’re just taller, with a fatter insulating space at the upper end). These screw-in lids are definitely not the same, and I suspect that if this lid breaks, I’ll just have to use the tumbler without it from then on.
Just got mine, first time IRKer. $10 IRK. Don’t know how to add photos. Got a BIG box on my porch, said “standing desk”, very heavy. Opened it up, and yes, the desk was inside. Also got a 3200 mAh instacharge power bank, a 6 pk of alcohol markers, abd a burgundy IRK bag. Not too bad for a $10 bag.
@maliabarth if you are using a cell phone to post, turn the phone to landscape mode and the picture button will appear to add a picture.
@maliabarth
@maliabarth
Definitely not to shabby for $10 and your first one. Question is do you have any use for the desk?
@Star2236
@Star2236 I haven’t decided yet… it is a pretty nice desk, and could be handy. I’ll think about it. I may check and see if it could be useful for any of my adult kids.
$45 IRK. I was late to the party.
1 Lifepro RelaxaTilt Massager
1 Incase MacBook Pro Case
1 iPhone case
1 Bag
Massager has one arm that’s damaged but still works fine.
@jwill1981 I missed an L the first read through.
This is shaping up to be a remarkably random bunch of IRKs; the contents are all over the map in both type and quantity.
1 x video doorbell
1 x USB wall charger
1 x forehead thermometer
1 x box of earring backer things
1 x size small set of “laundry” brand sweat pants and sweater that are see-thru. MSRP of like $99 the tag says
2 x massager (I think the shocking kind)
1 x expired morningsave coupon
16 x TrackR Pixels (these are no longer supported and are trash)
1 x IRK bag
What I paid is none of your concern.
@medz well the batteries in them may still be good… or maybe not.
@braveit1 likely not. These are activated by pressing down on them which tends to happen a lot in shipping when packed this way.
@medz i got a case of them in boxes and then several in small packages. Just depends on which ones you got.
Slightly nervous of the regret I will endure with my IRK. FedEx says it is a whopping 1 lb box. Should come today or tomorrow! Stay tuned
@ealbright25 That’s just a placeholder; all IRK’s start out the same but seem to have a “growth spurt” of varying proportions during transit!!
![irk 8am $5][1]
Got the 8am IRK. Received 2 King sheet sets with pockets for snacks, kid sized super hero socks, dog toy, and red reusable bag. I don’t have a king bed, a kid or a dog but I know people who do. No regrets, still fun.
[1]:
@braveit1 lucky! I just ordered a king sheet set, but my vmp discount was worth more than a $5 coupon, so…
Argghh! Fedex tried to deliver my IRK to Bessemer, not Birmingham.
Hope they find it and send it here, not back to Texas!
On the right hand, I’ve used one of my 14 $5 codes
IRK is right… i’m looking at some of the other kids and noticing there are quite a few nice things lol mine was full of the usual garbage. Hardly $60 worth! Definitely IRK! This is my second instant regret kit. I doubt I will be doing this ever again. At least Woot’s BoCs are halfway decent usable stuff! I can’t even figure out how to post a dang picture of the 45 piece silverware set, two charging bricks, box of respirator masks, and garbage pixel tracker that I got! Anybody want to trade? I am so frustrated seeing the nice stuff that everyone else got and I get shit! Such is my life. I hate you, meh….
@Bielzebub That’s so crazy, because my BOCs are always just garbage. Cheap dollar store children’s toys and random damaged stuff. I’ve always liked my IRKs better! Plus Woot’s website hates me. I always have to try like 5 times to get a BOC but I can get an IRK first try. It’s so weird that people have polar opposite experiences!
@Deri143 It usually is cheap dollar store crap in the BoC, but quite frequently it’s useful. I swear Meh hates me because most IRKs were sold out within 30 seconds of them posting. The last time I got an IRK (2 years ago) I got 4 firewire cables, a 32 pin Apple cable, a case for an iPad 1st gen, and some other garbage, nothing at all useful and nothing even from this generation of anything electronic. At least with the BoC there are SOME useful things, like a few lightning cables, a few charging bricks, a Vice President of all the Bullsh!t plaque, a bag of reusable straws, and other useless stuff, but it was only $10, not the $60 that I paid for this garbage. Oh well. At least other people got decent stuff…
@Bielzebub
@Bielzebub I would say IRKs and BOCs are on par with each other.
@Bielzebub How do I request a refund?
@Bielzebub Go ahead and request a refund. Hilarious. Tell me how many times that got you anywhere with your BoCs? I only ever scored one and the only thing of value happened to be a garage door opener keychain that worked with my garage door! Super helpful for when I wasn’t in my car, which had a door opener, but needed to open the garage door without using that pesky 4 digit code.
(Meaning, it was useless to anyone without my garage door brand, and even then, useless to me.) The rest was shit.
Also, I don’t know if you have ever flirted with the idea of laws and disclaimers but the fact they made it painfully obvious in BOLD that these costlier IRKs are no different chance than the cheap ones.
You literally bought something called an instant regret kit. You think you get a refund? Hell, in fact, if meh were to want to avoid legal trouble, they would probably be in a pickle if the more expensive IRKs started popping up with awesomeness and and the $5 your typical crap. That would negate the: this is junk. We warned you.
I have scored many IRKs over my 6 years. Best finds? Deebot vaccuum (that thing is still rocking! It is dumb as can be, but it does its job when it stops bumping into the same corner.) I have had some that didn’t even make it to the goodwill donation center. The only thing you can count on is the IRK bag.
If you have been here long enough you know of people getting full-on pallets of junk, PS5s, and, literal trash. You are playing the lottery.
If I buy one Powerball ticket at $2, and it doesn’t work out, then so be it. If I buy 50 and none hit, then a refund? Seriously?
@Bielzebub That’s a $50 set of silverware and you got a pile of coupons. What’s the problem?
@Bielzebub
Yep, that’s the explanation.
@Bielzebub to all: I am fully aware that I got hosed and I apologize for venting it out here. It’s just frustrating seeing all the useful / cool stuff others got and I feel what I got wasn’t very good. I know very well that I could have opted out of purchasing the IRK, and I also know that I won’t get a refund nor will I get anything extra, I’m just venting out of frustration and anger. Please ignore my tirade and go on about your day…
@Bielzebub @sammydog01 Actually, it is 62.00 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Pfaltzgraff-5192267-45-Piece-Stainless-Flatware/dp/B01LZWBXGI
Way better than most!
@Bielzebub @sammydog01 I got that same silverware set in my last IRK. I passed it off to my big nephew’s girlfriend (both college students). They cook and eat a lot of meals together and were making due with just “two of everything”. She was so excited to get the silverware, squealed with delight and even bounced up and down a little (and it wasn’t even a surprise!). It’s a nice set of silverware and the organizer that comes with it is a nice touch.
@gt0163c I went to visit my daughter last weekend and she gave me a waffle in a storage container with a plastic fork because everything else was in the dishwasher. So silverware would be really nice. Plates would be OK too. I’m expecting a gift bag and some TrackRs.
A wise man once said:
@Bielzebub @Deri143 I’d have been ridiculously excited for the 1st gen iPad case, as I still have a (functioning for my purposes) 1st gen iPad.
$5 got me a projector ($140 value), four car chargers, screen protectors, a pomegranate face mask, and some wine bottle accessories. No complaints here.
Paid $5 right when it went live.
1 pair of BluVue glasses that my wife likes
1 weird metal tumbler
1 ugly and useless iPhone 8 case
30 Trackr Pixels
1 Beyond the Beauty Deluxe set with an electric straightening brush, a flat iron, and a curling wand.
My wife was really happy with this one!
Here’s my $10 IRK. First time IRKer, not too bad.
I complained cause my irk went to Bessemer instead of Birmingham and then had a “delivery exception” apparently it fell off the truck and got run over
CS said it met with an untimely end and have sent me another IRK !!! I complained cause my irk went to Bessemer instead of Birmingham and then had a “delivery exception” apparently it fell off the truck and got run over
CS said it met with an untimely end and have sent me another IRK !!!
I’m assuming it was “Run Over" in Bessemer cause we have an ongoing problem with boxes being left outside our garage door
My car is 12 years old so no backup camera, but it happens to hubby with a backup camera
Our house does have WAY TOO MANY stairs, but I don’t want to hang a sign on the automatic garage door to say that leaving a package there is Dangerous!!!
@AnniKat At the risk of sounding like an insensitive clod, it sounds like checking behind your vehicle before you back out would be a good habit to try to develop.
As improbably as it may seem, every couple of years a story makes the news of someone backing over and killing a family member who was sunbathing in the driveway.
@Limewater you have a point but we have such a cramped drive way that we have to try out potential new cars to see if they can make the abrupt 90 degree turn from driveway to garage. We look before we go, but packages are hard to spot. And they could be left on the first or second set of stairs leading g to the front door which are closer to the street
Also we are Seco d generation from immigrants from Scotland and Germany. Not much sunbathing in our family (said the redhead!!)
@AnniKat @Limewater
Maybe post a large sign on the garage with instructions, pointing to where you want the packages to go? Of course they might still ignore it. I guess it’s not attractive but better than squashing stuff?
@AnniKat This was decade(s) ago, and UPS, but I live on Ohio and had a friend in NYC. He brewed his own beer. So, you can imagine he was brewing a tiny tiny amount. I roasted my own coffee.
I sent him some of the best beans Ethiopia produced that year. Like, I got through a co-op where the people were professional “cupers” from your national coffee-snob brands: Intelligentsia for example.
They got to bid on lots that were too small for their corporations to buy, roast, and market.
I sent my buddy some of the greatest coffee beans available to anyone that year. He asked his coffee shops ahead of time if they would be in on grinding, and pulling shots of espresso into a container for this batch. He found one on the condition: we get some of those bottles.
Months later, it was shipped UPS, insured, as you can’t say I am mailing booze without asking for insurance.
He got the call: the package has been compromised, and bottles broke.
My friend: Okay, fine, so when are the rest getting to knmeh7? “They have been discarded.”
THEY WERE PRICELESS!!! WTF!!!
Anyway, they fully reimbursed $250. Most costly 12 pack mistake. That was on the carrier, of course, but good on meh CS.
@AnniKat @KNmeh7
What was in the smashed IRK, that’s what I want to know!
I was “lucky” enough to score a $5 IRK in the morning slot. Mine came in a little damaged with a massive tear in the side of the box.
When I looked inside, we had
@yourmom contact support for your bag.
@yourmom
Very nice for having a massive hole. Love the Dutch oven, been wanting one for a while.
Anyway THank You Customer Service!!!
My $50 IRK came today.
I got a large-ish gold MKF purse
Some XL spandex leggings
A battery operated around the neck neck massager
A Pop battery operated toothbrush - I’ve bought these regularly, one of my kids hates it, but everyone else here uses them.
And a BURGUNDY bag. I ain’t got one of those.
Plus a stack of non-stackable coupon codes and no mediocritee code as of yet.
Interestingly; the massager has a return address label, preprinted with Morning Save’s address, in the instruction manual.
Got my $5 midnight IRK.
1x Red fuku bag.
1x Queen size microfiber sheet set.
2x Trackr pixels.
1x Box 20pk KN95 respirator mask.
2x Casey iPhone “drop it like it’s hot” screen protector.
2x 10pc kids Justice League socks.
Can give a few things to neighbors but will keep the KN95 for the next big pandemic! Might try the pillow cases for my reading pillows since I sleep pretty hot and like the feel of cotton. All in all worth the $5 freebie coupon.
Mine is supposed to be here today but I don’t think it’s gonna make it, for tomorrow. I’m hoping this will be my best irk and the meh gods have sent me my shark stick vacuum!
$5 got me:
-verisonix n100b headphones
-xono swype UV sanitizing wand
Unicorn putty kit
20 pack of masks
2 trackr pixels
Phone case for iPhone 8,7,6
Black irk bag
I don’t know how to add a photo
@christagious if you are on your phone, turn your phone sideways for landscape mode and options will show up including uploading photo
My irks have arrived. Irk #1 bought at midnight (11pm) for $5.
1 -red irk bag
1-blue crocs (too small for my and my kids) w6
1- pack of 10 pair justice league socks (hope they fit me)
1- iPhone 6/7/8 case (won’t fit my phone)
3- white tracker pixels
1- dc charge pack with micro usb cable
1-insulated wine glass/cup with lid
Now irk #2 I got because of my meh tattoo.
1-red fuku bag
1-red crocks W6
3- red tracker pixels
3- iPhone 6/7/8 cases
1- bulbhead charging wallet
8- 2-packs of car chargers
Both boxes were very similar. Most of this will be given away
@remo28
Whoa - the coveted red fuku bag!
@Kyeh I already have 1 or 2 floating around the house. So I’ll add it to the bag collection.
@Kyeh @remo28 If you have a chest freezer, IRK bags are perfect organization! My green one is vegetables. Yellow butter/ice cream/dairy. Red is meat. Blue is seafood. Black is better-half’s vegetarian proucts.
So much easier to just pick up a bag and find stuff versus going through an entire freezer.
Have a red Fuku in the attic. I didn’t know it needed to be used.
@remo28 OOOO I love the fuku bag. I hope I get one for branding myself too.
@KNmeh7 @remo28 I saw a post from someone who said the plastic will eventually decompose, so I guess better to use them than try to save them for posterity. I had a bag made from similar stuff that did just start to come apart after several years.
Totally regretful!
1 Super cool bag (in blue)
2 no show socks (wife loves these)
1 set of thick crew socks (wife loves these)
1 woolen beanie with a bobber (wife loves this)
1 I love you Grandma (going to go this to our 2 year old grandson - wife loves this)
2 trackR-Pixel (regretful)
1 set of horrid sub 1A car usb chargers - great for ruining your phone’s battery (trash)
All in all - wife loves it, I regret all…!
@Plackslayer
Happy wife, happy life.
Looks like my IRK is taking the scenic route. Yesterday it was out for delivery in Oklahoma City. Today it is out for delivery in Olathe Kansas. Both are not between its origin: Irving, Texas and destination: Columbia, South Carolina. Contact Customer support but not sure what they can do to get my regret pointed in the right direction. Might have to wait until FedEx figures out what it is supposed to be doing with the package.
@snagglepuss31 mine said out for delivery tosay and was in Kansas. I’m in Wisconsin
@mbersiam Yours is heading north at least.
@snagglepuss31 Mine made it’s way to Kansas and now Colorado. Taking the direct route to PA.
@snagglepuss31 mines in Kansas with yours too. Im in Upstate SC waiting for it currently
@snagglepuss31 @stryper2000 Maybe if they are together they will have baby irks before they get to each of you and you can have more of them.
@snagglepuss31
The last few times my initial delivery date is wrong, it takes 3-5 days longer. It’s always Kansas that holds it up. I don’t know what they do in Kansas but it’s never good.
@ninkumpoop Really cannot think of a good reason FedEx is moving these packages this way. I have had most Meh shipments arrive on the initial delivery date. Only one other got screwed up this way…
@Star2236 Yes, not much good about Kansas
@snagglepuss31 @Star2236 This happens to me every time. I’m pretty sure I’ve whined about it in the forums before. I get an initial delivery date, then the delivery date changes once or twice, then it becomes “pending” for several days and eventually it shows up. IIRC, it’s usually at least a 10-day trip and Kansas is one of two hold-ups.
Before I go read spoilers, I am posting my two $5 IRK hauls.
2 Xono (which I misread as Ouox) UV Sanitizing Wands.
2 Farberware Cabinet Bins
2 Eyeglasses
1 Box of glittery slimy stuff my kids aren’t allowed to open within 100 feet of my house
1 Primula Insulated Hydration Cocktail cup
5 Black Pixel TrackRs
60 Blue Pixel TrackRs
1 Black Meh Bag (not 1 per IRK, which is fine, I have too many.)
The bagless IRK had one of everything, the baggy IRK had only the duplicates.
I included my wife’s dancing dog, because she seems to be a hit when I post these.
@LexPendragon
OMG - she’s so adorable !
Thanks for posting that!
1 kingart tabletop display stand a frame easel
1 iq massager
1 mami & babies forehead thermometer
1 mkf purse
16 trakr pixels,
1 black irk bag and
Endless disappointment!!!
1 six tier shoe rack
2 broken plant pots
3 erasable markers
1 enameled carbon steel pot
17 trackr pixels
1 IRK bag
@muzztime forgot to mention it was $45
We should start a pool on when they will run out of trackers.
@Kidsandliz
Not soon enough!
@Kidsandliz I read this as “we should start a pool and fill it with trackers.” Some of us probably have enough to fill a pool!
@theangelicious1 Um yeah that would work too. I have some I can send. Reminds me of whomever that was who filled his bathtub with neoprene covers, cases, zipper bags, etc. and sat in there with them (fuko “winnings”).
@Kidsandliz @theangelicious1
A art project with trackers would be cool! The kind where you make someone’s portrait with the different items of color. I just saw 2 of Johnny Depp on IG, I’ll try to find a link to them.
I fully regret my $70 decision. In my defense, family health stuff was stressing me out, so the $70 distraction was worth it at the time.
I can’t use any of this.
Here is my regrettable purchase:
• 1 red IRK bag
• 2 Isaac Mizrahi sports bras (large)
• 1 T3 Sleep Sound Machine
• 1 container of VitaEnergy powder
• 1 bottle (broken top) Strata - USA Hand Sanitizer
• 1 iPhone X glass screen protector!
[Photo of listed items arranged on a red IRK bag] 1
I don’t know how to embed a photo.
@meh_ruck Maybe the sound machine will help with the stress?
I think I “win” worst IRK… $75 got me;
1 red IRK BAG
1 dog toy TAG… no dog toy.
1 dollar store princess bag
16 TrackR pixels… I thought this was awesome until I saw the app is dead and gone circa August 2021 and these are useless.
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
@Judas Somebody commented a while back that the TrackRs work with the Swiftfinder app. Might be worth a shot!
@eggsterminate thank you! I’ll try that right now and report back
@eggsterminate yep! That works!! Thank you very much!
@eggsterminate @Judas Happy to help! I saw 16 of them suckers and was not having them go to waste! SwiftFinder seems to only treat them as bluetooth and range isn’t good but at least they don’t go in the landfill!
@dgbarstow2 @eggsterminate @Judas
Yay for useable trackers!
Why Meh… Why…
@Judas Poor pup!
Prices paid: $5 + $15

IRK Bag
Trash
@lichme What kind of trash?
@tru335 A box of trackr’s, individually packaged trackr’s, phone case from 10 years ago, some damaged fake flowers - a metal thing you’re supposed to use to poke stuff you don’t want to touch - you know, the usual
@lichme That’s awesome…
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
I spent 5 bucks on my irk, in it i received: ifrogz impulse wireless noise isolating headphones, a tree wall pop wall art, an insta charger complete with suckers to hold onto the phone, 1600 antibacterial hand wipes (no idea how i’ll keep them from drying out once open since they obviously are a refill for something - probably the meh office, hope they are keeping their hands clean!), and 1 navy blue irk bag
@placecm A handful of irks back I got the antibacterial wipes and managed to sell them for $15 on craigslist. It became someone else’s problem to keep them moist.
@Kidsandliz thank you! i May have to try that. When i looked them up, i did see someone selling on eBay. I’ll probably try facebook marketplace. Such a random thing to get lol
Today when I got my IRK, I learned that there’s more than one “L” in “Pfaltzlgraff”
$45 IRK netted me the above mentioned brand 45 piece Linden flatware set
Roll of Detroit skyline wall art
Box of 20 KN95 masks, torn and “expired” in 2021
Single black TrackR
2 Tzumi “rapid charger” wall wart thingeys (5V 1A, lol)
9 $5 coupon codes
$15 mediocritee code
Oh yes.
A deliciously red IRK bag.
Solid
Oof, my haul isn’t worthy of wasting space on my phone.
Is there a story that Meh got F’d in the rear on these trackr things? Fire sale right before they went under and became worthless? I can’t believe they are still being sold on amazon
Pretty meh for $35 Now to hope for some goodies to use my coupons on.
@Outer78 elsewhere people have been reporting there is a replacement app that works with the trackers.
@Kidsandliz @Outer78 The Swiftfinder app should work!
$100 IRK
2 boxes of masks
Princess gift bag
Meh bag
4 cigarette lighter usbs 2 packs
Definitely regretful…
@DoggyDov Holy bag of crap…
@tru335 yeah, pretty irked… Not even an attempt to reach retail from meh. I’ll be lucky if I use 7 of those $5 coupons.
My $5 IRK came in today (from the 11pm CDT purchase):
1 Farberware Over the Cabinet Bin. Useful if I can find a cabinet to hang it over
1 Verisonix headphones. Useful if I need headphones
1 20 pack of KN95 Respirator Masks. Go with all the others I have
1 Bluvue glass frame in red. Probably trash.
2 Iphone 6-8 cases from Casery. Trash for sure. Dollar tree can’t sell these things.
1 Xono Swiype UVC Sanitizer Wand. No idea if keep or trash.
2 TrackR pixels. Might come in handy.
1 Black IRK Bag.
1 plain brown box. Cat will love it.
Guess did okay for the $12 after shipping.
My $85 IRK showed up today.
the red IRK bag
a Cuisinart 3 quart sautee pan with glass lid
32 trackrs in 2 plain envelopes
1 Xono Swiype UVC Sanitizer Wand
1 medium TKO performance baselayer thermal underwear
1 SpaLife papaya facial mask
2 packs of the kids Justice League socks
If I was to purchase everything at retail, then I did great! At least that’s what I keep telling myself…
$5 morning irk
Correction: box for earphones but no earphones included, just the paperwork and 2 tips
@mehla Classic.
Well the only way they changed things on this mehrathon was to shit on their loyal followers by charging more for the same old shit and worse.
May this type of mehrathon die a fast death and never come back.
@Felton10 Well, it’s exactly what they said they were doing…
But I haven’t been able to snag an IRK yet, so I don’t really have room to complain about or defend the experiment.
@Felton10 Cut back on the salt and you won’t be as thirsty for an IRK.
$5 box of shit
@tru335 I have a set of those cubes and they’re much more solid than I would have thought.
@sammydog01 Good to know! They seem heavy, which was surprising. Did you get them off Meh or somewhere else?
@tru335 Meh, in an irk. I sent them to college. I’m not sure if it’s the same brand but it looks like it.
@tru335 swiftfinder app works on the trackers according to other posts on here.
@Kidsandliz Well that’s nifty… I have a pile of these things from past IRK’s. Thanks!
@tru335
I’ve always wanted to try those blue blocker glasses bc I get bad migraines and I know my phone makes it worse.
![First $40 IRK][1]
Quite happy with the haul, but not the price. Almost everything is useful. Except for the iPhone glass screen, ANDRIOD ONLY BABY! I was looking at getting one of these solar lights for my chicken coop anyways. Hopefully to deter the fox and raccoon that come by at night to steal my chickens. Looking forward to a giant haul in the future.
[1]:
@WierdBMD Good luck with deterring the wild animals from your chickens! I feel your pain, we’ve lost too many to keep track of and ended up giving up on the entire process of having our own fresh egg farm!
Sorry meh, not much regret in mine.
$5:
Black irk bag
Anker power Port
Bluvue +1.0 old people glasses
Maidenform baselayer
Ifrogz - dunno what it is, maybe earbuds?
King size sheets, yay! Microfiber, boo!
![enter image description here][1]
$25:
Blue irk bag
Instacharge for apple :-
2 wall pops trees
Cuisinart ice cream maker,looks nice, but I have a kitchen aid one I don’t use.
![enter image description here][2]
I’m not full of regret, better luck next time meh!
[1]:
[2]:
@D_a_v_e Hey, if you don’t want that ice cream maker, I would be happy to take it off your hands!
@D_a_v_e And I’ll take the KitchenAid one to free up space in your kitchen. I could seriously use a powered ice cream maker (I have an old hand-crank Dixie Belle) but can’t afford one (darn foundation!)
$35
Overall, mixed bag of regret and win. The $5 IRK is scheduled to be delivered Tuesday of next week. You get what you pay for, I guess.
Full of regret with this $50 IRK:
1x red IRK bag
1x box of kn95 masks
3x princess party bags
16x trakrs
1x blue clawz in Women’s 6…I’m men’s 10.5
1/5 stars, will IRK again
Considering mine is in Olathe limbo, despite being still scheduled for delivery today in Ohio. (Way to keep up to date with your tracking FedEx) I will probably get mine sometime next two weeks with the holiday.
What do people think are the best IRKs? I see a lot of crap (expected) but some “decent” if you have use, but yet to see a draw-dropper, e.g. PS5, e-bike, etc.
For all the extra money they got from the inflated prices (and before someone with a Erlenmeyer Flask logo chimes in claiming that they gave coupons for the price! So, they got their money’s worth. That only works if stackable) I was hoping to see some absolutely crazy IRKs. Random, of course, but something a bit more than what we have seen here.
If morningsave just killing it that much with the housewives that we don’t even get to use our $5 off there, and some of the gems (like the cuisinart 3.5 hp pro blender) are in your warehouse, and likely a few boxes damaged, but not showing up in IRKs… Is this going to be a swan song?
@KNmeh7
The foot massagers people got were nice, Dutch ovens, I think someone got a pan set or a nice pan ( I like to cook so any kind of nice new pan makes me happy), there was some cuisinart stuff. It’s all a crap shoot, some rounds are better than others. I play for the thrill like most.
$30 IRK
1x Red IRK bag
1x Marble patterned iPhone case
1x Pink Incase MacBook Pro case
1x Lifepro Relaxatilt X foot massager
Actually pretty decent stuff, if only I had any use for it. I’ve always liked Incase stuff, even though I’ve never and will never own a macbook. And the foot messager is actually worth something, despite me having no desire for one.
@SirBinks
Nice, I’ve always wanted a nice foot massager.
![Mine just arrived, $5 box from the morning. No shark stick vacuum or cool foot massager maybe it’s still on the way.
@Star2236 !
My brothers dog with the toy
@Star2236
That dog has beautiful eyes!
@Kyeh
I think so too.
@Kyeh @Star2236
That was my first thought!
Great minds…
Meh and @koolhandjoe hasn’t taken my advice for an IRK and stuffed a box with a bunch of mediocrtee shirts. I think that would be an awesome IRK and be happy to get that. As long as a few were in my size.
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@Star2236 Oooooh that is a phenomenal box but I don’t see regret in the box. For it to be true IRK it would be all baby size and way too big for you. no in between.
@Sneakertree @Star2236 I think a box of 10XL and 2T (Toddler sized) Shirts all with the same design might give a smidge of Regret
@Koolhandjoe @Sneakertree
I need Women’s large for me, mens sizes in various sizes for my family ( or whatever, I don’t really care about them) but the toddler shirts would do, I know toddlers.
@Koolhandjoe @Sneakertree
And toddlers running around in meh shirts is just funny.
$15 IRK and I received…
Marc New York ladies short sleeve blouse (pretty cute and my daughter will use)
Maidenform Sport long sleeve lighweight shirt (actually pretty great and a good color)
We R Crafter’s Essential set (on Amazon for $18)
Kathy Ireland Home Essentials Twin Sheet set (will gift to my friend whose grandson has a twin bed)
Vivo Detox & Glow Trio set
Maroon IRK bag
Certainly worth the price of admission - am I wowed? Nope, but never expect to be. I say well worth the gamble and certainly useable items, nothing used, nothing broken, and most if not all will get used by me or people close to me. My $5 coupon to gift to someone was gifted to my BFF and has been used by her already. Now to hunt for items to use my coupons.
$30 IRK Reveal- PARTU Air Purifier, car chargers, Members Only T-Shirts (Hand wash - air dry), thermal pants, Toy dozer, red IRK bag. No regrets!
$90 IRK
IRK bag
Large Caldo-X large heated jacket
Pink MKF purse
Malloy The Good Life 6 piece makeup kit
Brown MKF purse
8 - 3 piece child’s puzzle
No $5 coupons - are they automatically withdrawn on purchase?
Was it worth it? Maybe if I was into purses, make-up, wore large size jackets or had a young child. Instant and delayed regret achieved.
Thanks Meh.
@RCFlyer You should have gotten an email with your coupon codes.
@Barney
Thanks, found them.
Mine showed up Tuesday but it’s been a crazy week so I didn’t get to them till now.
The $5 box at midnight:
Red IRK bag
Blue Clawz size W6/M4
Insulated tumbler cup with lid
Power bank in a gift box
2 envelopes each claiming to contain 1 white trackr pixel
Justice league socks
Ink for IRK box:
All came shoved into the air purifier box so I had a spoiler while waiting to open.
Pro Breeze CADR 218 air purifier, looks new, haven’t tried it yet.
Red IRK bag
Pack of playing cards
2 white trackr pixels
Envelope likely containing 16 blue trackrs
Not included: judgmental cat insisting the arrangement needed improvement
While nothing is particularly useful to me, both boxes were decent enough and I think I can pass on a number of items to where they will be appreciated.
@metaphore Judgmental cat probably was trying to arrange the box to be empty. Because. Well. Cats.
/giphy cats and boxes
@Kidsandliz @metaphore
I like the cats and boxes gif
@Kidsandliz Probably. Unfortunately for her, the air purifier is staying in the box for now. She was given the box from the other IRK but for some reason that one was unsatisfactory.
I got the “Ink for IRK” flavor. No photo, because there was nothing unique.
4 Trackrs
Box of 20 masks, unfortunately not individually wrapped. (I hand out K95 masks to people when I’m at doctor’s appointments or at the pharmacy, etc)
2 pair of very ugly anti-blue/reading glasses
1 pack of kids superhero socks
2 packs of car charger thingies
2 packs of older phone screen protecters
1 tiny pair of clawz (women’s 6) in red
The one cool thing was the bag- I got one of the old school Fuko/Fuku bags from the days of yore! I love those bags! So that was pretty awesome. (yes, mediocrebot. We know.)
Thanks, Meh!
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Price: $30 1st IRK
Contents:
1 queen sheet set
1 15 inch MacBook case
1 vacuum sealed stainless steel cup
2 TrackRs
1 Meh IRK Bag
I love the cup but I won’t use anything else. Anyone want to trade their king sheets for queen sheets??
@tjustice05
I’ll trade for the queen sheets IF I happen to get a King set when mine comes in the next day or two.
My $5 morning IRK arrived today, and the only thing regrettable about it is how not-regrettable it is. Contents include:
All (appear to be) new, all in their original packaging, all totally working. Thanks so much, Meh! Definitely the best $5 (or $0, factoring in the coupon) that I’ve ever spent.
@eggsterminate
Man you really scored. Lucky you.
@Star2236 I’m just thankful that the TrackR gods decided to pass me by!
@eggsterminate
Me too.
$5 8am IRK.
I set myself up for regret when I order them, because those who expect nothing are never disappointed. Something like that.
I love checking these threads, even when I didn’t score an IRK. Because the chance of the good stuff keeps me coming back. Was not seeing any big winners.
It arrives; obviously not my Cuisinart 3.5 HP blender. I pick it up, and it has some weight to it, but the size was screaming sheet set(s) and TrackRs.
I open it up to see a red IRK bag covering some contents, but two unopened 30-pack TrackR boxes. Score! 60 of the cheapest-made, shortest lasting, CR2016 batteries for all my relatives Halloween and Christmas kitsch that requires these things. Assuming they are removable? I have yet to ever have the fortune of being showered with the dreaded TrackRs. Do they even somewhat work with the app people have mentioned?
Do the meh powers listen to my drivel in the forums? Of course not. But what is underneath? A Cuisinart product! A set of brand-new (set discontinued) knives. No regrets! Instantly upon seeing that. Wait, that isn’t how this works.
To round it out, two pairs of ugly blue light glasses and an iphone 6s case with a design that looks like it already has been dropped and shattered–it hasn’t–but I thought that was clever for 10 years ago.
Thanks meh! No regrets.
@KNmeh7
Very nice.
@KNmeh7 @Star2236
What an utter failure. Whoever packed that IRK needs some additional “training” to ensure that you get what you paid for.
They’re not called “Bags of Satisfaction”, after all.
Our $5 AM IRK:
One red IRK bag
One crushed box of Harry and David Carmel Pecan Keurig cups, expiring in October.
One set of BluVue glasses (for computer eyestrain) with case and cleaning cloth.
One Anker 5-port USB charging station in a pristine, factory sealed box (?!)
Six 8-ounce bottles of The Mane Choice Killer Curls & Brutal Bounce 4-way conditioner with Japanese cherry and Chia seed oil. Among the extensive marketing copy on the bottle is “CAUTION: Watch out for those brutally bouncy, killer Curls ahead!”. We tried it on our 6-year old. Seems like an okay conditioner that couldn’t come close to the copy hype.
Overall, a well played IRK. I’d really regret buying it for $200. For $5, it was the perfect experience.
@Scottidog You experimented on your child with some questionable product you got in an IRK box. Bold move. I would have started with the dog first and worked my way up.
Got my $35 IRK from FedEx
Puffy jacket (size L), with built in heating element (BYO battery pack… which I have plenty of from last IRKs)
Snaptain SP650 drone
2pk car chargers
Random half-moon leather pouch (looks like maybe rabbit fur?)
Maroon IRK maroon
Not bad.
8am gang! ($5)
Pretty on brand for meh! I’ll get some use out of most of this stuff though, so who really won? Certainly not her, she’s mad I took her spot for the picture.
Thanks again meh!
$45 IRK here…
Be.Professional steam iron
dog toy (too big for my dog, going to go the neighbor’s dog).
couple trackrs and a bunch of batteries, to add to my already impressively high pile of trackrs.
camping bar soap/toothbrush holder, with I think the toothbrush holder part missing.
burgundy IRK bag.
can’t really complain I suppose, the steam iron is like 100 buck on amazon…now if only I had the hair to be steam ironed.
$5 morning IRK
Delayed two days after a stop in Kansas, my kit arrived on Saturday.
The Anker hub is very nice.
The gift boxes will spruce up my normal gifting mo of using obviously twice or thrice reused gift bags.
Someone will like the clutch.
Idk if the conditioner can stand up to Head and Shoulders 2 in 1…
Thanks meh! 5 dollar IRK 4ever.
First irk with 10 $5 coupons
No irk bag
Open set of sheets, unknown size
Insulated wine glass
Wine gadgets
Useless phone case
Irk 2 costing nothing more than branding my body for eternity
The box was pretty beat up
But the contents were better
Maroon irk bag
Heated puffer jacket (no power bank, but still a nice jacket!)
Yellow purse (freaking heavy while empty. It’s nice but so weighty)
Couple car chargers
Couple coin purses
@mbersiam
I really like the purse a lot. And the coin purse.
Since TrackRs are much under cussion here, I have a technical question…
How the fecking demonized domain of perdition do you get the infernalized things open to swap out the ready-dead battery for a fresh one for it to kill? I see a little curvy arrow on the back marked Open<>Close, but attempting to apply torque to the body and cap in opposite rotational senses (as appears to be suggested by the arrows) seems to have no effect.
@werehatrack @moose posted instructions involving duct tape. I’ll see if I can find it.
@werehatrack
https://meh.com/forum/topics/top-lifehacks-how-to-remove-trackr-pixel-battery-cover
@sammydog01 Thank you. I extrapolated from that and devised method N+1, using two lint rollers.
Rather disappointing IRK I must say. Probably the worst IRK I’ve ever received. Midnight $5 IRK.
I suppose on the bright side, my $20 IRK (arriving soon), can’t really be much worse eh. Thank the stars for those $5 coupons on this batch.
@hammi99 And you have only yourself to blame.
@werehatrack no doubt. That’s the sad part. So I have to give myself an IRKcoin
Mine is still in transit ; was supposed to be here last Friday but was stuck in OLATHE, KS for 3 days and is now scheduled for Wednesday. One possibly positive sign is the placeholder specs were updated and it says my package is now 20 x 16 x 10 and weighs a whopping 15.5 lbs.!! It’s either something good (I hope so! ) or else I’ll get the Motherlode of TrackRs!!
@IndifferentDude Both my IRKs continue to say 1 lb each. And since I just received one of them, it was not a lack of update by FedEx - it really was about 1 lb of crap.
@IndifferentDude I don’t want to work that many trackers on you, but it has the pastadrop appeal …
@IndifferentDude My $5 IRK still in transit. Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota… en route to PA (I hope). Delivery of 1 lb IRK on Wednesday, give or take a few days.
$5 8am IRK
2 - 30 pack CR2016 batteries, each package in individual plastic storage containers…TrackR brand cases
2 - Iphone 8 cases
1 - UV sanitizing stick/light
1 - pair of blue light glasses
1 - IRK bag
@MrMark You understand that those batteries are dead, right?
@werehatrack 2 out of 3 I checked did power up.
$5 midnight irk
1x letsfit t3 sound machine
1x instacharge iphone battery pack
1x kn95 mask pack
2x lustereyes eyeliner
1x irk bag
I dig the sound machine & can use the battery pack so not bad.
Too lazy for pics.
I got the midnight $5 IRK, this was my second time.
One (1) red IRK/Meh bag
Four (4) iPhone 8 screen protector, HD glass.
Two (2) iPhone 8 cases
One (1) of those credit card sized chargers.
One (1) 14 oz double wall vacuum sealed stainless steel travel cup with flip top lid.
One (1) small box containing sixty (60) white Trackr Pixels
Four (4) white non-manila envelopes, each containing one (1) white Trackr Pixel.
Which is super fun, bc I opened the small box first, and was like, ugh, only 60 Pixels?! I was hoping for at least 63.
Thanks Meh!
My IRKs…
Are missing! The delivery service marked them as “Left in mailroom” and… there is no mail room.
But Meh is awesome and is sending me a replacement! Mad respect for the customer service here! ❤❤❤❤
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@mikesmells the delivery guys stole 60 trackr pixels LOL
It’s been awhile since we have been on here. We have had probably the worst year of our lives. We lost 3 immediate family members in the last 4 months. So it was nice to catch a $5 Irk. Something to bring us a few smiles in our time where they are hard to find them.
$5 Irk
Stick on Wall Letter “V”
Stick on Wall Alphabet
3 Pairs of Woman’s Socks
Pair of BluVue Glasses
Rusty Red Irk Bag (We didn’t have this one yet, yay!)
Then the best part I was excited about was a Lily Bloom Luggage Duffle Rolling Suitcase!
So I was super excited about our Irk. Thanks Meh for bringing me some joy!
@miscreant Pretty!
@miscreant nice! I take the blame for your awesome IRK!
Condolences for your recent losses and happy to hear meh and its community can provide a bit of reprieve in your time of need.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@miscreant
Super cute luggage.
![75 buck irk][1]
My $75. Irk got delivered to a similar address, 1 street over. This happens every time FedEx gets their coked-up paws on anything from Meh, or anyone else. Tchah! I retrieved it, and almost shouldn’t have bothered. Klawz size 6, Justice League socks, 15" hardshell Mac case, KN95 masks (useful), two car chargers, one bright red Meh bag. I’ve seen worse. Cat approved the box.
[1]:
@OldCatLady Amazon does that to me quite often. Same address, one block over. I do not understand why most labels, Amazon, UPS, etc do not make the address LARGER font. With the tiny font and sometimes pixelated printing, 6 can easily look like a 5 on the fonts most labels use. Seemingly simple solution to a common problem.
@OldCatLady and oh almost forgot. As GOAT, I take the blame for the misdelivery. Perhaps we should donate all those BluVue glasses to our delivery folks eh.
@hammi99 @OldCatLady
Good call on the donating of the glasses!
AND… kudos to you for taking blame over here on the IRK reveal thread! You’re really going above and beyond.
@Lynnerizer haha thanks, I’m just here for the IRKcoin! LOL
@OldCatLady We’ve had a rash of boxes addressed to a street number that does not exist. (Somebody in Arizona is sending baby gifts to his bro for a new grandchild) The # on the boxes is 351.
So far, I’ve gotten 2 boxes at 315 (one with my real number handwritten on it), 317 has gotten 1 box and 314 has gotten several. My friend at 314 is the Hero, he figured out that the correct address is 531, and found the guy who is the real person who the boxes are being mailed to!!
Those are NOT the carrier’s fault, but I did find 4 boxes for me at 313 one day last week.
EVERYBODY is confused! Except the Hero at 314, who is dealing with a wife with early onset dementia.BTH (bless their hearts)
My $10 box finally came in
1 red Meh Bag
1 Oral Flosser Water pik thingy
2 packs of playing cards
1 bag of Tens unit pads (I think)
1 Queen size Bamboo Mattress cover
Sorry for no pics but I’m happy with my haul
I received an insulated coffee mug and a small amount of of total junk including a bra with no tags…can I assume this is a used bra?
@letit190 If it’s black and does not fasten in the back, it’s probably a new item from a broken package. I got one, and close exam turned up no skin flakes where they would be present if it had been tried on, and no sign of laundering.
At long last my single $5 IRK arrived today after a lengthy holiday in beautiful Olathe, KS. What an open-box treasure trove!
1 (open box) Aquasonic toothbrush
1 (open box) TV headphones
1 (RMA) HeimVision video doorbell
1 black sports bra (L)
1 weird yellow wristband thing with dropper bottle I should read the thread before I post about but I prefer to post before reading
1 burgundy IRK bag
Let’s hope most of the stuff works! As ever, thanks, meh!
@lehigh oops thought I deleted;

@lehigh That “weird yellow wristband thing” is for keeping a ready supply of hand sanitizer within reach. The bottle is to fill 'er up with. And now you know … “the rest of the story”!!
@IndifferentDude Thanks Indifferent Paul Harvey! I can be the Spider-Man of sanitizer…
@lehigh
Very lucky. I was hoping for a video doorbell. My boyfriend doesn’t want one but if I got one for free how could he say no.
Mine came in. Spent $20 on it. Pretty weird, extremely meh, largely regrettable. Perhaps I’ll post a pic later
-51 piece set of flatware
-A “utensil caddy” (3 tin cups screwed together with stickers of crabs and lobsters on them)
-A home water test kit
-A 2 pack of leopard print sports bras
-2 American flag themed cloth face masks
-2 no touch safety key things
-bright red IRK bag
Irk bag will see some use. Flatware may or may not end up getting used. Utensil caddy may end up with plants in it. Rest is pretty much either donate or trash.
Much to my surprise and regret, my $5 IRK arrived today. It was originally scheduled to be delivered last Wednesday, got stuck in Olathe, Kansas, was rescheduled to be delivered Saturday, got rescheduled to be delivered NEXT Wednesday and showed up today on Sunday. Here is what 15 pounds of instant regret will get you:
• 1600 BioPure Antibacterial Hand Wipes (very heavy)
• iFrogz Impulse Wireless Headphones
• Wall Pops “Sent from heaven” (for baby boy)
• InstaCharge Portable Charger
• Navy blue IRK bag
Anybody need some hand wipes?
Thanks Meh.
@heartny The headphones aren’t too bad. I got one with no box and clearly used a bunch in an irk ages ago.
@heartny I got almost the exact same items except I rec’d a 3-pk of ladies Minx socks instead of the charger. I kinda assumed I’d get the same when I saw you posted “15 lbs.” and my intuition was right although I’d hope for better! Guess it was worth the net $0 I spent for it!! ($5 - $5 coupon = zilch!)
No delivery date on mine yet but it’s close. $55 I saw the package dimensions I must be getting a phone case. The box is 4x6x1. We’ll see!
@membrr I haven’t seen box dimensions update for my recent orders. Last IRK I had was listed with a similar size box but was much larger.
@bady @membrr “4x6x1” is the default size that they list for every Irk. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten a box that small, though.
The IRK arrived (a few days ago)! $35 delivered:
The sheets are immediately going into the backup rotation and our kittens are loving the toy. Goodwill is reaping the bounty of the Trackrs and socks. With the coupons and the shirt, a VERY kickass haul.
Well, my original IRK is apparently in the infamous ravine in Bessemer.
The replacement is still being processed.
I’ve only used 1 of my 14 codes and no sign of the mediocritee code.
At least I got a Building our Condo Saturday morning on that other site.
Anyone care to bet if the IRK or the BOC will get here first?
@AnniKat contact customer service for mediocritee code… in meantime, you can blame the goat for not receiving it. and please check spam folder.
Mine is getting “Dorothy’d”. Stuck in Kansas.
@ACraigL Mine left Olathe on the 27th and hasn’t been heard from since.
@ACraigL @sammydog01 It takes a week to get anywhere from there if you get it at all.
@ACraigL @Felton10 @sammydog01 Once you’ve been to Kansas, you just don’t want to leave.
@Barney @Felton10 @sammydog01
Mine updated about an hour ago. In West Virginia now, scheduled for delivery this Thursday.
@ACraigL Good luck!
@ACraigL @Barney @sammydog01 Martinsburg right?
@Barney @Felton10 @sammydog01 Yup!
$5 midnight Irk.
The ice cream maker is a fancy two-quart one. Even if it doesn’t work, the bowl seems to be the same size as that of the slightly less fancy ice cream maker I got from Woot several years ago.
This is the first of the random purchases I’ve made with something I’ll use.
@craigthom
Woohoo good deal! That ice cream maker seems to be one of the best things I’ve seen in this batch of IRKs. Not too shabby!
@craigthom this is EXACTLY what I received in my IRK!
My four came in while I was away on vacation. Neighbor said they would pick them up and hold them while we were away. Then they forgot and got left out in a rainstorm. Most of them got pretty messed up so that sucks.
Box 1:
Halo power bank…soaked. will try to fix
7 Trackr pixels…soaked.
A “Wish” glittery statue, warped.
Meh bag, will dry out.
Box of face masks, tossed.
Box 2:
Heated vest, will try and dry out.
1 pixel
Meh bag
4 phone cases
Box of Ice Cream styled Mason Jars with straws
Box 3:
Betsy Johnson “Rose” carry on bag.
3 car chargers, sealed.
DC Comics socks
Meh bag
Deck of cards, ruined.
2 phone cases
Box 4:
More face masks
5 pixels
Meh bag
1 phone case
More Ice Cream Mason Jars
Car Visor
Pretty bummed that I a lot got destroyed, but some good quality items that hopefully will be alright.
@studerc A vacation hold from FedEx is free. I was on vacation last week and had it delivered today.
@craigthom and i normally would have done that, but we helped my neighbor a few weeks ago and she was insistent that she return the favor…she did feel terrible afterwards, but still frustrating that she offered to help…and then didnt help.
@studerc No way to reroute Fedex so you can pickup from hub when you return? I like that UPS allows that.
@studerc and PS you forgot to blame the goat for the rain
So after its trip to Kansas mine started heading in the right direction, northeast. Made it to Northborough, MA on the 2nd and that’s it. No delivery date estimate anymore, just “Pending”. Hopefully it eventually recovers from the long holiday wknd stop in Mass and starts moving northeast again!
@JvB
Mines been stuck in Northborough Mass since the 2nd and HAD a delivery date of the 3rd. Now that that’s come and gone it doesn’t have another delivery date, only that it’s pending. Not even sure what it’s doing there in the first place, definitely on the scenic route, but I’m sure it’ll get here eventually. Or not!
@JvB Yea mine is taking the hella scenic route too. Hung out in Kansas for a few days and is now chilling in Washington. Showing this trackers the life they’ll be missing when they get to my place.
@JvB Mine showed out for delivery briefly in Kansas on Friday (I do not live in Kansas), then showed a delivery date of 7/5, and now is in Utah with no delivery date.
8.3 lbs of meh just taking the scenic route, I guess.
@JvB @Lynnerizer Mine also took a vacation in Northborough with no delivery date, but it showed up today.
@aquastardreamer @JvB
Mine says it was delivered to me on the 6th, it wasn’t and I’m still waiting!
No picture because I forgot but I got for $25:
Blue IRK bag
Leather Coin Purse
1 Pixel Tracker
A mulberry tree wall decal which looks nice
A new Cuisnart Ice Cream Maker w/ slightly damaged box.
Ice Cream maker works perfectly and made Strawberry and Blueberry-vanilla ice cream for the 4th, so I’m pretty happy.
@Bluedragon07
Yay for the ice cream maker and the red white and blue ice cream on the 4th!
@Bluedragon07 Did you notice how many pieces are in the mulberry tree? A lot of those leaves are separate pieces.
I got almost the same thing except for a little power bank instead of the tracker.
@Bluedragon07 I got exactly what you got instead of the one Pixel tracker, I got a power bank instead.
@craigthom @hammi99 Definitely the better ones then haha. I already had gotten enough Tracer Pixels for a lifetime. Ice cream machine is good but loud.
@Bluedragon07 I already have an ice cream machine, else I’d have loved this one in an IRK.
One of two IRKs…I believe this was $35. No picture, because it is the worst IRK I’ve ever had.
The sheets make it still worth the money, but this is the only IRK that I’ve ever been disappointed by. That said, king sheets for $35 plus a free shirt and a bunch of $5 coupons means I don’t regret it, just not thrilled with the stuff in the box. Looking forward to the next one delivered tomorrow.
@iamdmann what is a “smart” sheet?
@iamdmann
What are the countertop pots? Are they cooking pots?
@hammi99 @iamdmann
The sheets have pockets on one side to put stuff, that’s why their smart
@Star2236 is that what a nightstand is for?
@hammi99
Yeah
$55 irk and I forget how to post pictures
Maroon Irk Bag
Package of kn95 non medical masks
1 5 pack of trackers
2 of those insulated beverage/wine containers, good for coffee too!
Being a VMP, it’s been over a year since I got one. So I’m happy Everything will be used and those trackers are getting glued onto the remotes and cordless phones if they work…
$5 Morning IRK
Black Meh bag
Blue light readers (glasses)
Charging wall adapter
Box of 30 trackers
Box of 60 trackers
Over the cabinet door basket hanger from farberware
So. Many. Trackers.
MY IRK DON’T JIGGLE JIGGLE IT FOLDS.
Actually it jiggle jiggled. Being an experienced mehtizen I put it in a bag to open it. Found this inside:
Kept the broken glass outside. See how smart I am?
THEN I GOT HIT WITH A WISH SIGN GLITTER BOMB.
BASTARDS. At least I knew to not open the bag, not that it prevented glitter dispersal.
Anyway here’s what I got:
Dog toy, obsolete phone cases, 7 Trackrs, 24 sticky phone wallets guaranteed to keep my phone from charging.
@sammydog01
Aww - did any of the jars come unbroken?
@Kyeh Four of them were fine, which is about three more than I have a use for. They are kind of cute.
@sammydog01 Oh, good. I got one once and gave it away, but they are cute.
You could probably use the lid from the broken ones on mason jars.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 A while back, WallyWorld sold a version of those that was plastic. I had several, but when the vac-insulated stainless tumblers came along, those plastic mason-with-handle mug/jars went to Goodwill.
@Kyeh @werehatrack There was a time where my son knocked over every glass he was drinking from. I bought a set of glass mason jars with handles. They were perfect.
I know I bitched about my irk but these glasses are my new go to for iced tea. Sorry for complaining. (And I didn’t have room for all 6 anyway.)
@sammydog01 @werehatrack
They’re nice for going outside with a drink; easier to maneuver without spilling and for keeping the bugs out.
I got stuff to fill up my trash can. Lesson learned, Meh. Lesson learned.
Here’s my $20 9:30am IRK contents:
Not bad at all for an IRK, definitely not bad for $20 IRK although I don’t need the machine.
PS I blame this month’s goat for not needing the machine
@hammi99
That’s been the best little coin purse ever. I was hoping for another one in my irk but I didn’t get any
@Star2236 if you’re in NYC, happy to meet up and give it to you.
@hammi99
Long way from Detroit
@Star2236 ahh well if you ever make it to NYC let me know - maybe I’ll still have it!
@hammi99 That’s exactly what I got for five dollars.
Still waiting… and from the looks of things, this might be a shittier than usual IRK. Will update when it finally shows up
Just arrived! Worth the $5 I spent (including the coupons). But pretty meh overall.
2x plastic goblets
1x Urbio magnetic organizer thingee
1x Hair extension conditioner
1x pack of kids socks
1x spool style iphone charging cable
1x pair of red Clawz, size 6 women’s
Probably will use the cable, not much else. But fun nonetheless. Thanks meh!
My $90 (gulp) IRK:
My partner & I are going to be getting a house together and she has a King bed, so the sheets are welcome. Socks are too smal for me, but either my daughter or son’s girlfriend might like them. I have a couple friends with dogs. So, minimal regret. Just have to use those coupons…
Can’t get my pic to upload…
Vanko v700 HD projector
Letsfit wireless earbuds
Ifrogz power bank
Anker powerport 5 port charger
Pair of XL yoga pa ts
Pop ladies trimmer
If the projector works, then this was worth the 90 bucks, plus 2 of the coupons have been used already.
Ive been here since 2014 and before that for maybe 6 years with woot. This was a good box, it ranks up there with the roomba I got a few years ago. I know people bitch about them, but I love taking a chance.
@somf69
I think it’s pretty obvious that WE ALL like taking the chance, especially with this particular IRK-athon! Ugh, the regret I’m imagining some might be having… $200 OUCH!!
Good luck with your new place!
Just got mine. First timer and I am blown away. 55$ kit.
$5 Morning IRK:
Impulse Wireless BT Headphones
3-pack Members Only V-Neck Tees (in my size!)
3-pack Little Monsters Terry Socks
Cuisinart 5.5 Qt Saute Pan (intact with lid)
The Bag
Overall, a pretty good one. The pan looks to retail for around $65 and is nice. The children’s socks will be donated. The headphones may be trash, but I think this is the most useful IRK I have ever received.
Mine was from the initial $5 offering (midnight EST). It took 10 days to get here after it was shipped. It was so lightweight, I thought it would be full of Trackrs, only Trackrs. No trackrs in the box after all.
Red classic Fuku bag
2 boxes KN95 masks
10-pk Justice League socks
1 pair Clawz
Box of 6 Tzumi microUSB car charging cables
1 insulated tumbler
@medonsw If you really want some trackers I have many. The swiftfinder app doesn’t work for me since I have an iphone. And you really should watch what you post, they may send you a case just because it’s meh.
@remo28 I don’t want any. I was so relieved so see what was in the box. And yes, I should watch what I post. Thanks for the reminder.
Finally got home to my IRK waiting patiently for me. Midnight, $5, IRK, probably the best (of 4) yet. Everything is usable. Thanks, meh!
My $5 midnight IRK showed up.
I opened the package in my driveway & had to walk past the dumpster to go inside, so the Trackers didn’t make it to the photoshoot. Whoops.
Thanks Meh. This truly is my most regrettable purchase to date.
Got the 8AM $5 Irk and … Almost everything cam in doubles, triples, and tiny cases!
6 Packs of I essentials 2 pack car chargers
A small box that surprisingly fits a LOT of Travelocity phone pockets. These could be the new trackers. I could make a wall of pockets for ever business card I’ve ever received.
2 puppy toys. Will make for minutes of joy before she rips them open. But I’m going to reuse the stuffing to make a denim puppy toy it takes her long to naw through so actually pretty damn useful.
2 Casery iPhone cases for phones that apple has basically made unusable at this point. (Anyone have an upcycle for phone cases? These are just landfill fodder and damnit there has to be a use!)
A pack of 20 K95 masks (kinda useful)
2 packs of justice league socks
A hair repair spray for wigs and extensions (errrrrg donation?)
And the ever awesome IRK bag that fits the FULL contents of the box. Ooh and I used my coupon on a mystery shirt in the mehrathon today so overall happy. Would I do it again? Already did. Got the 1AM inflated price IRK this morning.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot
Edited down from the website www.rokform.com…
10 Ideas For Repurposing Your Old Phone Case (defluffied)
In other words, they’re reaching pretty desperately over there, too.
@mediocrebot @werehatrack Hm. Interesting. I hadn’t thought of using them as trays.
Might have to see if that would work with the case of Macbook cases I have.
Forgot to post this earlier when it came, so no pic as items are scattered to the winds. $15 IRK:
Appropriate blend between useful and not, so overall mediocre. Thanks, Meh!
@Vectors what size is way too small?
@Kessilari M4/W6
$35 IRK, I received:
-IRK bag
-3 packs of iPhone X screen protectors
-16 pack of trackrs (blue)
-2 Sophia the First bags
-2 Three packs of labeling markers
-1 Monster Retro Bluetooth speaker
Thanks Meh!
My replacement made it to Ellenwood GA, passing by in the night (must look up where Knoxville is in AL).
Meanwhile the BOC that shipped 3 hours after it arrived yesterday. Meh really is the old Woot
@AnniKat
My replacement IRK DID arrive the other day. It had a laser hair removal kit in it that costs more than my medium expensive IRK did (ie 70+). HOWEVER, the instructions say no one with red or white hair should try to use it EVER!
That would be me.
Interestingly, it ALSO said no one with very dark skin should try to use it EVER!
It took a minute, but I figured out that your hair has to contrast and be darker than your skin for the thingy to work. Very interesting…
Also two (2) identical 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.
iPhone X glass cover (have a 2020SE)
and a set of 5 super hero footie socks kid size
Too bad I would have worn some of the socks if they had fit
After 2 1/2 weeks of building anticipation, my $5 morning IRK finally arrived after spending nearly a week in Illinois (I am nowhere near Illinois).
1 XL Purple thing with lace on it (haven’t opened the plastic bag
1 slim can insulated sleeve
2 small furry leather pouches
1 flowery jewelry box with purple flowing throughout
1 maroon/purple IRK bag
ZERO Trackr’s (I feel cheated, what’s an IRK without at least 1 Trackr)
So much for anticipation, let the regret sink in.
P.S. I think this IRK was meant for @Barney
@ddcarman Aw… I believe in sharing purple. Help yourself to anything in your IRK.
@ddcarman I think I’ll call that one even more meh than what I got.
@ddcarman I like the jewelry box!
I’ve got Trackrs - wanna trade?
It’s a full set of purple women’s pajamas
@ddcarman Wow, you got the jackpot!
@ddcarman But do you have any purple women lingering about? (If so, don’t tell Barney.)
Thanks to this thread, I feel less regret about missing this event.
Just got my $60 IRK. It went on a road trip to Kansas then was stuck in Chicago for 2 weeks before coming to Sacramento.
1 Neck & Shoulder Massager
1 Size 30 shorts
1 Size L/XL women’s bra-lett
1 Pack of Playing cards
1 Red IRK bag (the color I have the most of)
My $5 IRK
-3 iphone 6-8 screen protectors
-pair of kids clawz
-2 bottles of hair extension moisturizer
-a BUNCH of trackers
-a box of kn95 masks
-a 6 pack of cigarette charger
-2 packs of justice league socks
-1 red bag…my first one!
I guess I forgot to post my IRK!
Here’s my two. One was $5 (on the right) the other was $15 (on the left)
$5 one was clearly the winner this round with the Ice cream maker, but my wife sure loves the slippers from the $15 one!
@reedmo
What’s the thing in the box behind the bra that looks like a weird razor handle?
Tried to post this the other day but pics weren’t uploading. So the lovely people in Olathe, KS finally decided to move along our packages. I got home to a decent sized box in front of the door. Alas, when I picked it up, it was obvious there was another lousy packing job at the meh warehouse. Making the mistake of taking the box inside, I ended up with little shards of planter all over the place. What asshole put an unprotected ceramic planter in a box with a rather heavy item?
Anyway, onward I went to find these lovely items. Guess friends and family are all going to be the proud owners of erasable marking pens. The TrackR is of course garbage, the car chargers will be giveaways to anyone that needs them and the the ‘above the knee’ socks will make some lady
happyannoyed.So what destroyed the planter? Surprisingly, a pretty okay air fryer oven. Other than the little dent on the handle it appears totally new and unused. Irony abounds of course… I had wanted an air fryer for a while and there was a phenomenal deal on a nice digital once at Costco a few weeks ago. So now I have two.
@cinoclav
Return the Costco one. Say it doesn’t work right. They’ll take it back, they take everything back. I once saw a lady return towels she clearly had used and washed (you could tell bc they weren’t crisp white anymore, her water gave them a yellowish tint), no tag and bc she dried them multiple times they were different sizes. She sat and argued with them for 20 mins saying they were new and they took them back.
@Star2236 I’m just going to keep this one as either a backup or if someone else needs one. The Costco one is really nice and worth keeping. But yeah, they’ll take most anything back except electronics with no time limit. Usually they don’t question it at all. I’ve read some awful stories of people taking advantage of their return policy.
This is the one from Costco. It was on sale for $39.99 when I bought it.
https://www.costco.com/gourmia-7-quart-digital-air-fryer.product.100785783.html
@cinoclav
The Costco one is probably better.
@cinoclav @Star2236 Costco became my friend for life about 20 years ago when I bought a plazma 42" inch TV from them for $ 4,000. Couldn’t afford the Sony which was selling for 7k at the time. Two years later it stopped working being out of warranty the co wanted $ 1,000 from me to repair it. Called Costco not thinking there was much they could do for me and they said sure they would take it back and refund my money (they now only give an extra year on similar electronics).
Oh yeh and then there is the fact that their stock is now over $ 500 a share (was over $ 600 before the market tanked) and I bought it at $ 45. That doesn’t hurt my opinion of them even though I also belong to both BJ’s and Sam’s also.
@cinoclav @Felton10
I’ve never been to a bjs before they don’t have them in my area. They do have a Sam’s but it’s to far. I do like Costco a lot though.
@cinoclav @Star2236 I wish I’d been as lucky with the pricing and timing, we bought that Kaloric oven from either Meh or SideDeal sometime last year, at a price well above $40. These are okay, not great; reading the numbers on the timer and the temp sca;le is a pain in the ass because of the small black numerals on the brushed stainless background; I sometimes have to bring a light over in order to figure out where to set the temp knob. Oh, and it heats up lots faster than the instructions let on; I seldom bother with the whole “warm up” thing, and just go straight to “food behind door, knobs to settings, turbine to speed”.
@cinoclav @werehatrack
I was gonna say you get what you pay for but you did pay for it lol.
I seem to remember something about a free shirt from mediocrite for those that got IRKS. Did I make that up? I can’t seem to find any email with a code that stated that.
@jayman007 It’s real, IF your IRK was bought during the infamous Great Inflationary IRK-A-Thon, when a few tortured souls actually ponied up two hundred bucks for a chance at a box-o-crap. I got the code, but I haven’t used it yet.
@werehatrack I found the email with the code and just ordered a shirt.
@jayman007 It’s real. I got a Vitruvian Snorlax shirt, and it makes me smile.
@jayman007 @werehatrack
Did the email for the free shirt come after the email w/the shareable codes? Also who was it from, meh or sidedeal? What was it titled bc I can’t find it? Thanks.
@Star2236 The email was from Mediocritee. I don’t know if it came before or after the shareable codes, but mine came on June 29.
@Barney
Thank you, made it easy to find.
@Barney Fun fact, my ink irk was ordered from the June sale, cancelled, and then reordered from a previous mehrathon. I’m pretty sure it was to keep me from getting a shirt coupon. Which is OK but way to make it obvious.
@sammydog01 You had to buy an IRK, cheapskate, to get a shirt coupon.
@Barney Permanent disfiguration wasn’t payment enough?
@sammydog01 Don’t yell at me, yell at THEM!
@sammydog01 “Buy” as in “with funds”; this was apparently a way of apologizing to the
victimsguinea pigsvolunteers who ignored, grudgingly accepted, or resigned themselves to the price inflationeering in that 'thon. You’re a different kind of voluntary victim.
