Hmm, it came with the entire top pushed in and wrapped in clear packing tape and a note from the Post Office swearing they got it that way. Didn’t have time to open it and see if the contents look like they were packed that way or not. I’ll be home in about three hours and will update.
@mossygreen It looks good, it was a West Bend Ice Cream Machine box, and contained what appears to probably be all the parts of a West Bend Ice Cream Machine (no instructions), and also an Irk bag, a single microfiber cloth, the phone 5 piece lens kit which seems to only have spaces for four lenses, an Incipio qi charging base and a… thing? I don’t know what it is. I guess it’s some kind of gps tracker for kids from i Luv Wireless?
Meh tried to warn me, but I wouldn’t listen. The Cobaltx thing at bottom is half of car seat back tablet holder. Don’t know what happened to other half. Box was beaten up pretty bad. Tape job not very secure.
@Mpulse7 Why are you complaining? Now you’ll finally have some killer abs! And we’ll have the benefit of looking at them in all their fish eye lens glory after you take some photos! Win-win!
Not able to post pics right now, but I got the orange bag, a set of travel laundry bags, some essential oils, an openbox vivid globe speaker (no dock!), and a set of Secret Collagen Non-Surgical Solution products. I’m quite relieved it was not surgical solution products!
I am experiencing no regret. Shark vaccum cleaner (works), wireless phone charger (doesn’t appear to work), paint markers, teeth whitener, and a breathalyzer (assume it works).
@Mpulse7 One or two of the ones I’ve won a long time ago were decent, with some electronics inside (toothbrush, bulletcam, etc).
Recent ones were absolutely horrible. The last two that I got were along the likes of (1) two very crappy wallet/purse combos, a pack of sticker wall decals, and a pair of socks, and (2) a cheap cup, a couple of useless USB-B cables, and some date rape test kits.
I’ve never gotten a truly top-tier box, and I’ve managed to pick up every single one from the past dozen or so. I don’t really regret it because they’re only five bucks each. Also, even the really crappy ones here are still better than any BoC I’ve gotten (which is also more expensivce at ten dollars per).
@Mpulse7 My last two IRKs were meh, but before that I got a recent model home theatre receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. And it WORKED. I will get my Halloween IRK tomorrow… regret soon
Neck and shoulder shiatsu massager
Some make up brushes
A 2xl stormtech shirt
A pair of used lg tone headphones that has a return sticker on box that says they don’t work
A Milan purse
Already posted in the actual IRK topic for my sale but:
IRK bag
Two microfiber cleanup towels
ProNoir depilator (face hair removing tool)
A box / bottle of Sericin+ Reviving Eye Serum
A King size brown and very soft microfiber blanket which is now our couch cover.
Mediocre, I really don’t know how you did it. USPS has a key to open the entire front panel, so they can deliver mail to the entire complex at once. However, the package lockers have doors that are smaller than the interior of the locker. I’m not sure how you convinced the postal worker to make the delivery extra irksome, but I had to cut open the box inside the locker just to extract the contents:
2 very dented cookwares with (no longer) matching lids
2 Bluetooth headphones. One marked defective!
1 lovely irk bag (with POCKETS? such decadence)
1 Guardians of the Galaxy projector pen
So apparently our Usps was still delivering packages today. Got a smaller box that was a return of 4 pack copper cook pans, small skillet scratched up pretty bad. Otherwise it was all there.
Then a 3,000mah battery pack/phone holder. Also 2 blue and 2 white croc clawz paint markers. Toss in the irk bag and we got our $5 worth it seems. Gotta find someone that could use a 3 pack of copper pans.
No regret here!
Fidget spinner (just gave away 160 of these)
Light up dog collar which matches the leash I have.
5 piece lens kit, the box is crushed but contents fine.
IRK bag with pockets
Henckels 12 piece cutlery set which frankly terrifies me. I’m sure the regret will come when I use them since good knives always seem to demand a blood sacrifice from me on first use.
@callow that’s a nice knife set. I got one in an IRK before. It was a little beat up and there were knives just flopping around in the box, but still a good set. Hope you can satisfy the blood sacrifice with just a minor nick.
furniture paint marker, juicer, socks, bath bomb rose thing, some costume looking jewelry, and an Irk bag. Woohoo! Have yet to test the juicer. Box rather beat up. Thanks Meh!
Mine came today. 5 sets of returned earbuds of various manufacturers, all returned as defective, all are actually defective. One irk bag. Not even worth a photo.
Hey meh it would be nice it you make sure that there is at least one working item in an irk box.
2x blue washcloths
1x giant IRK bag
1x wireless charging base
1x black MKF handbag set (my wife will love this)
1x iJoy Mini projector bundle (haven’t tried it out yet)
1 kids sectional chair thingy
(i refuse to say lovesac because that sounds dirty as fuck)
orange IRK bag
sonicare toothbrush with charger, 1 head and some kind of tongue scraper thingy
1 nine yr old lab/border collie mix dog. he was very calm having been shipped from TX.
Orange IRK bag
Conair shower head set
Battery operated makeup brush cleaner
Blue Turkish cotton hand towels-set of two
I almost bought a makeup brush cleaner a week ago so hopefully it works. Don’t need the shower heads but they are decent so I’ll keep them around in case mine ever break again. Towels are nice.
Last thing was an Ijoy mini projector bundle that was disguised in an Epson projector box. I was really excited for a minute! Might donate it for auction if it works.
Orange IRK bag (Works!)
Aquaponic Black Series power toothbrush (All brush-heads sealed in plastic!)
Dirty Clawz clogs (Men’s size eight)
a USB Power Bank/Car jumpstarter (The power bank works…who knows if it will actually start a car)
A random black lawn stake
6 pieces of track from an electric car set
@crow Sadly they didn’t send you the Croc Clawz Markers that many of us have gotten. My 2 white clawz paint markers could polish those things right up!
meh. Not worth a picture, big nice hefty box, opened box west bend soft serve machine and irk bag. Soft serve machine has a two star rating on amazon and is discontinued. This one was a big tease with the big fairly weighty box
IRK sachet. - Orange
LG Tone+ Bluetooth headset. Also Orange. Seems to work!
King bamboo sheet set. Dark gray.
Sericin+ reviving eye cream with complimentary eye cream shovel
Brilliance New York facial serum - broken pump.
The pup destroyed the wife’s headphones. So timing is good. And soon my skin will be supple.
Orange IRK bag
Various items marked as “defective”
mPULSE workout headphones and bluetooth speaker
“ZEN” Travel pro 5 in 1 speaker
Samsung Level wireless headphones
LG Bluetooth headphones
@liz You got 3 of the same things I did in my irk (I had duplicates), not counting the bag . All of mine were marked defective (and were). I hope some of yours work.
The mailman knocked on the window and I almost got mad since I just got the baby to sleep BUT he brought my IRK! He was also just trying to warn me that the box was heavy - so I couldn’t stay mad (especially since baby stayed asleep)
I got:
Gabba Goods pink fabric bluetooth speaker and power bank (perfect to hang on the stroller and play “Africa” on repeat for the baby - it is the ONLY thing that calms her down)
Orange IRK bag
Dickies Silver Series work socks
GoTrax Hoverfly Eco - appears to be new. I am so tempted to get on this thing, but don’t want to kill myself either…
@clonetek mine was basically the same minus one of the mPULSE buds and switch one of the wireless LG’s for wireless Samsung. All used, none work. The speaker won’t charge but will work while plugged in.
@Ignorant There is a difference between only getting literal trash and a mix of trash and random junk. I don’t recall as much non-working items all in one irk box in the past. Usually people got at least one thing that was working/non-broken even if it wasn’t something they wanted.
@Ignorant I have had individually broken things but never everything in the entire box. Also had some “dollar tree” style boxes. I did get lucky twice though and got something refurbished that I would actually use.
Got mine today, it had two (2) items:
1 Irk bag
1 Coffee Maker, looks like it was returned. Not sure if defective or not yet.
All packed in a large box with no padding!
Y’all, my IRK is stalled in “Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item” purgatory, and I’m itching to see all the defective headphones I’m gonna get! I can’t wait!
Look! Look! Look! It’s purple! And it seems to work.
There’s some other cool stuff, too.
So I also got a power bank that’s kinda working, and a QI wireless charging base. I don’t know if that works because I have no devices that charge wirelessly.
And peeking out from the very back of the photo is a food saver. It came with a roll of plastic AND the instruction manual, which I read. Well, I’m guessing someone returned this as non-working, but after following the instructions, (clearing my throat), it works!
Finally as a bonus, was a couple of Clawz pens.
What can I say? Meh, you screwed up again. I’m happy with my I.R.K. (and my purple). Better luck next time.
Can’t remember how to post pictures! This is only my second irk, maybe 3rd.
1 orange irk bag with pockets!
1 orange set of LG blue tooth headphones not marked
(Charging now)
1 set of make up brushes
1 Yeti Stop It leak thingy marked with an rma number but 2 were returned and the one I got is still packaged!
1 biaggi zipsak folding luggage! As seen on Shark Tank! This thing is very cool! If I figure out how to post pictures again, I’ll be posting it!
@membrr to post photos on a phone turn it sideways and click on the mountain with a sun icon immediately to the right of the 101 010 icon. On a computer click on the same thing.
@aleohansen i almost guarantee you that there is random stuff stuck in the box, like an irk bag and some clawz coloring markers. But you should sell it sealed and just see what the buyer finds in there and says in your Ebay feedback.
As we all know, when an IRK appears, you go into clicking mode without thinking.
My IRK got delivered to a different address. Seeing as how most of the posts were similar and all crap headphones, I told them to open it up.
1 x IRK bag.
2 x (used) mPULSE headphones.
2 x (no comment on used status, which makes me think the aforementioned are nasty.) LG Tone sci-fi looking slave collar “wireless” wired things.
1 x mPulse Bluetooth Speaker/Speakerphone
Much regret that this seems to be a dump of crappy music products they couldn’t sell versus a spattering of a lot of random shit they couldn’t sell.
(Still pretty excited, and will forever buy an IRK if the powers that be allow.)
1 Ugly double purse thing
2 Boxes for wireless ear buds, both empty
1 Neck massage thing with all the bits, might work?
1 BrowFood…for my Yellow Lab? Maybe…
1 IRK bag
Overall, very disappointed, they shipped empty boxes… What is this? Too expensive to hire trash pickup, somehow cheaper to send it all to us? The environment is angry at you MEH!
I got a sous vide thing, socks, purple surge protector, and a power bank that got hot when I charged it. (Neat!)
No bag, though.
Slow cooker seemed to work. Thanks.
a Gourmia expressPot pressure cooker, with dent, cracked power area and cracked plastics on lid. I think the metal parts are ok, and I may give it a shot…
an aspire ‘styling’ iron
3 pack of dickies industrial work socks, that should FIT!!!
@D_a_v_e
All this worry… meh wouldn’t send it to me if it was unsafe!
(the metal parts seem fine, just some plastic trim and whatnot)
I do like the idea of trying with an extension cord though.
bottom is pretty busted up, doesn’t sit on the counter flat, and the pressure valve on top was in the bottom of the box when it arrived, so… dunno.
Regardless, we already own two pressure cookers, and an instant pot that my wife does’t want, so I might just have to bin this one since I can’t donate it.
Looks like my meh/IRK luck finally ran out on this one. Least the socks look comfy
1 orange irk bag
10 piece pot and pan sent. All bent badly. Kept the lids. Threw away pans.
Camera glasses
Used bluetooth headphones that were sticky and smelled like a middle school locker room.
Vitamin C spray.
Phone lens kit.
I kept the lids, glasses camera, and irk bag. For the first time ever i didn’t put the box in my irk fuku boc closet.
IRK cake yesterday but couldn’t open it until today. Here we go!
Included:
-king microfiber sheets (time for a king bed?)
-Lamzac fatboy chair (daughter super excited)
-3 (!!!) piece lens kit; I must not be as special as the 5-piece recipients
-3 Monster microfiber towels
-orange IRK bag
Not a bad haul of seemingly new merch. Thanks, meh!!
@Barney@sammydog01 Will do. It’ll be a few months before we take it for a test drive (brr!). I’ve seen others use them and think the Amazon reviews are apt. From what I’ve seen from others using it, it’s also not the easiest to fill — you really need a good breeze.
@tech2therescue Did you know that there has been complaints about Meh only sending out trash and nothing good this time? I really like the trash you got!
Green balance board fitness thingy (used/played with?)
King Sheet set
IRK bag
That’s it. The sheets we’ve bought before for our cal-king they sucked, and besides these are for an eastern king so… This was definitely an Instant Regret Kit this time.
This is the first time I’ve felt truly Meh about my I.R.K. It consists of a single Lovesac Kid’s Sactional seat, and the obligatory I.R.K. bag. The variety of random crap is usually the most entertaining part, but this time I’m simply Meh-ed out.
/giphy Not Entertained
Starting to see a pattern in my IRKs - the last three, including this one have been returns that the shipping label was literally slapped on and sent to yours truly… The last two didnt work. One was a busted receiver, the other was so meh, I cant even recall what it was… hopefully this one will work, although I have some doubts. Also received the orange IRK bag, and Jons wireless Apple mouse - Jon, I have your mouse, will it juice? -
Update - I just tried the juicer, works like a charm, is very quiet and is easy to clean. Wife is irritated that I now have another appliance - oh well for her -
lol, this is the first time I’ve been disappointed with my IRK.
1 x Motif Essential pour-over coffee Brewer (broken and missing parts)
1 x XL white Angelina bra
1 x Orange LG TONE+ headphones
1 x Hyaluronic Acid Serum
1 x Tamo 2200mAh power bank
1 x Orange IRK bag
Something went terribly wrong! My only regret is that I couldn’t buy two:
violife slim sonic “the stylish toothbrush” with battery and extra brush head, in beat up packaging but clearly new and works well, $24 and four stars at Amazon. Will use for travel.
Brilliance New York Hair Couture Hairodynamics Pro
Dryer 3400, with attachment, seems new and works well. $26 at Amazon, with three reviews, a five-star (“strong”), a four-star (“pretty strong”), and a one-star (“weak”). My wife will be the judge.
PALM/NRG Creative Technology ABS Training Revolution. On company website for $599. Similar on Amazon for $35. Can’t believe that the FDA let’s them sell this crap. Headed to the trash bin.
Factory sealed Model Technics Laser Cut 3D Model Zero Fighter, ages 14+. Similar for $8 on Amazon. Will give it to 14 y.o.
5-Piece smartphone lens kit, factory sealed with - wait for it - five lenses. MSRP $49.99, $24 at Amazon. Former meh offer with lots of buyers but forget the price. Not really something I’m likely to use.
Ideation Bluetooth Solid Ear Pods , a one-star item at a ridiculously high price at Amazon; haven’t bothered to open box.
xtreme True Wireless Stereo Air Buds with charger. Appear to be new in plastic case. $14 at Wal-Mart. A former Morning Save item.
I am completely un-disappointed in my IRK. What a strange feeling. I got:
1 IRK bag
1 Fuko bag
1 frying pan (slightly dented) with lid (still fits)
3 pair of Dickies work socks
4-piece set of Adventure Time pint glasses!
Quality over quantity this time… I’m happy!
My second ever IRK came with much less regret than my first. I got:
5 piece lens set
3 pack of Dickies work socks
TrackR bluetooth phone finding thingy
A lovely orange IRK bag
And a Deebot robot vacuum, with manual and what looks like all the needed parts. Still haven’t tested it, but there’s pet hair in the dirt compartment, so it at least must have worked at some point.
@RogerWilco it’s missing the side brushes, but I can get those on Amazon and it seems like it’ll work otherwise. If not, I work at a computer repair shop and I’m sure we could figure it out.
Definitely regrettable. 1) Pink ‘Cattitude’ light up backpack. Not my style, but I’ll be donating that to a foster kid organization, so not too bad. 2) 21 led 3 panel make-up mirror. I got this in my last IRK too. I guess I could use it when I trim my beard? Or make one of those optical illusion mirror boxes? 3) Sharper Image Wireless TV headphones. The box was open and in rough shape, but everything was there. They work. However they are the second worst headphones I’ve ever tried to use, after the earbuds I got at the dollar store a while back. Garage sale for sure. 4)orange IRK bag. I really should start taking these with me when I go shopping… And that’s it. Meh.
1 returned coffee brewer (carafe handle broken off)
1 SimpliSafe base station
1 SimpliSafe wireless keypad
1 SimpliSafe keychain remote
1 12v power supply for something not included in the box.
The only potentially-useful item here is that coffee brewer. This is an item we considered buying when Meh offered it, so if we get a working brewer out of this deal I’ll be thrilled. If not, then Irk will have hit me with additional regret by dangling the anticipation of good coffee in front of me before smashing those dreams. I’m attempting to repair the carafe handle using a block of wood and copious amounts of superglue, so we’ll find out if the brewer works once the glue sets.
Getting only part of a SimpliSafe system isn’t actually useful at all; without any door or window sensors the system can’t really do anything. Oddly enough, though, it is the exact system that my in-laws use, so maybe they’ll have a use for some spare parts?
The power supply is a rather random add-in. If any of y’all received some 12v gizmo without its power supply, sorry, looks like it fell into my box instead
Here is a picture of the Irk! The headphones work and appear new, make up brushes can be very expensive and I can use my Yeti cup again!
I read the reviews on the luggage and the main complaint was it is awkward to wheel around the airport or if not packed correctly it’s tippy…others loved theirs so if it isn’t easy at the airport, it’ll be for camping! Win win!
I got mine! It’s FILLED with regret. Literally, because it was just an orange meh bag in the opened box of a Lovesac kid’s ottoman. Not the couch or chair, but just the base and pad.
I regret it even more because my kids are probably gonna like this enough to make me buy additional pieces for it in future Lovesac sales.!
@btwonder morningsave has the sides. Reasonably cheap. There’s also a few folks in this thread that might be willing to ship theirs to you, though probably prohibitively expensive
A humidifier! I have no idea if it works yet, it’s pretty banged up. No bag, nothing else.
Can I talk about packaging for a bit? This looks like it was returned and a label was cut off the front. Someone repaired the box with cardboard and tape:
And they didn’t have a box quite big enough so they used two with a set of flaps up end to end:
I thinlk I’m looking at maybe 10, 15 minutes of packing here. Nice job warehouse people! I’m impressed! Soooo much tape!
-Ideation Bluetooth ear buds
-Wireless Charging pad
-Broken Brugi woman’s watch
-Superman Socks
-An off brand fitness tracker
-Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System (blender that comes with food processor and smoothie thing)
-Orange IRK bag
The blender works perfectly and came with all the associated attachments and packaging stickers still on it. Wife and I are thrilled! No regret here!
What’s going on here. Does meh have something to say about my physical health. No worries, I’m actually ramping up my workout and this thing makes my abs quiver. Brand new Body Coaster for personal growth. And a bag and upside down umbrella. Well done sirs!
My box finally got released from purgatory. It sat at one of the hubs from Saturday until today. It originally was supposed to be delivered Saturday but my mailman decided to take it back to the hub for whatever reason. I was thinking I would have to go in and complain tomorrow but all of a sudden it showed up and was waiting for me today.
Meh must think I have a lot of ear holes. 4 pairs of headphones and a portable speaker. Also a nice orange bag.
I wasn’t too hopeful since there was return stickers on a few items.
The mpulse headphones just said used, can’t be resold. They are corded headphones and when I cut the tape open I was greeted by earwax on one of the ear pieces. Gross. I guess it could be cleaned but I didn’t even look at them any further since I had more options to get through. Return sticker was dated 2015 so that wax has been sitting around a while.
A pair of LG Tone Pros. Bluetooth neckband headphones. They looked new and they work but the volume is pretty low and they don’t sound great. I wasn’t feeling too hopeful at this point. This is probably something I’ll throw in my locker at work as a backup. Can be found new for around $30. They cost more in 2016 when they were manufactured.
Two sets of Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth neckband headphones. One of the boxes said the charging cover won’t stay shut. Turns out, they both work and sound pretty damn good! They looked brand new in the box with all the little plastic covers still stuck on the headphones. The one box was missing the charger and extra ear pieces. Reviews said they start to break after several months so I’m glad to have two sets because they are the best sounding Bluetooth options I own now. The broken charging door isn’t even that big of a deal on the one. Found them new for sale from anywhere around $25-80. Manufactured in 2016 and the one was returned in 2017. Used to retail for $100.
And if it wasn’t enough to have the four sets of headphones to shove in my ears, I got an mPulse Go Bluetooth speaker. The accessories were floating loose in the main box. It didn’t look like this thing was going to work but after letting it charge for several hours I finally got it to turn on. It’s loud, it sounds nice. Used to retail for $79.
Overall my ears are pretty pleased! Over $300 retail worth of stuff.
My IRK left Atlanta last Friday the 8th. Today is Friday the 15th. Usually when a package leaves Atlanta it is on my porch in Pensacola, FL. the next day. I got the wife a set of sheets that also left Atlanta the 8th and they have yet to show up. @snapster@dave We are begging you to please drop this NEWGISTICS outfit. In today’s age of porch pirates keeping tracking info up to date is very important to us. So is actual delivery of our purchases in a reasonable and timely manner.
After being stuck in delivery hell for a bit mine arrived:
1 FukuClassic bag
1 NewIRK bag
1 pack of Dickie’s work socks
1 Milan purse
1 Hot Pink Hoverboard! (scuffed to hell but fully working)
I am terrified by the hoverboard but have already tried it out, it’s fun! Hopefully it doesn’t burn my apartment down. Thanks Meh!
Not worthy of a photo.
1 x 12x telephoto phone lens
1 wine bottle bag
1 blue washcloth
1 West Bend soft-serve Ice cream maker
(I work 10 miles from West Bend, WI (Gee, thanks).)
i guess I did get at least $5 worth of crap
@tinamarie1974 My IRK was shipped in the original product box, without internal structural support. (Is there suddenly a shortage of Texas air.) And anyways, I already own a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker. I haven’t used it in 4 years.
I got a fine IRK.
The TrackeR thing in pink
Monster screen cleaner
HP USB2 cable (Monster branded, USB A to B, for external drives & printers)
Orange Meh bag
Bag of 11’’ cable ties (Seemingly from Harbor Freight- hope someone dug these out from a gigantic pile of things they’ve collected from the store)
Pic (w/o TrackeR shown)
an ultimate spin daily facial cleanser, (new, unopened)
a sharper image massaging neck wrap, (new, unopened)
a purple makeup bag (i think), (looks mostly new)
a white RFID protecting wallet/clutch with built in charger (looks new)
a 3-1 hair dryer/brush (looks returned, but inside still in plastic)
and of course, an orange IRK bag!!
Lot of stuff for the ladies in here, but the good news is most of it looks new, soooo… cheap secret santa gifts for the girls at work!!! thanks Meh!!!
I waited a couple of days to open mine. It was pretty heavy! Inside:
Cozy Comfy Weighted Blanket - at 12 pounds, this was most of the package weight. Not sure if new or a return, but looks new. Can’t look at that image without thinking of the creepy one when they sell these!
Wonder Woman pen with flashlight. Works. Sealed package.
mPULSE earphones with orange and green cords. Says “Opened” so I assume not clean, but look decent. Other size pieces included.
LG Tone Pro headset. Also an obvious return. Some crud on the earpieces, but otherwise decent. No return sticker, but everything there and charging light works so far.
Samsung LEVEL wireless headphones. Decent shape, but return sticker says “Bluetooth keeps disconnecting, even during a phone call” so we shall see.
Orange IRK bag. Have this color from a previous IRK.
Weighted blanket goes for about $40 on epay.
WW pen probably $3
mPULSE earphones maybe $24 new
LG Tone Pro - Orig. $70 - on clearance at BB for $40
Samsung LEVEL - $?? Does have aptX, so maybe worth getting new earpieces if they work.
IRK bag - priceless
For sure better than $5 worth of stuff. The headphones look like they came from one of those places that sell random returns.
@500vdc I got all the same headphones plus an extra Samsung. The Levels sound great. Been using them for a few days and the Bluetooth cuts out occasionally when my phone is in my pocket and I bend. I’m not sure if that’s more a phone issue or a headphone issue. All the Bluetooth headphones I have do the same thing with three different phones. The Levels are the least glitchy.
I don’t know man! It’s tough to regret something that keeps getting better. I feel like I have peaked though so next time is bound to be an instant IRK. Although I am enjoying the kitchen appliances from these last 2.
Sorry about the delay, busy weekend before traveling.
Regretful contents noted below.
1 - Sonicare toothbrush out of a box - Works - I know because I used the provided heads to brush my teeth this weekend!
1 - Weird vibrating hair brush that also has rounded bumps on one side to also message other areas of the body
1 - pair of wireless buds in a slightly smooshed box. Seem ok though.
1 - Nespresso with a milk frother. Frother works so I assumed the nespresso does as well. Need to find some pods to test it. It does have a damaged side container that is used for garbage pods…hoping that is why this thing was tossed into an oversized box with no support so it just rattled around.
1 - sexy orange slightly earth friend bag.
1 - creepy reflection of me and a dog if you look close enough!
So mine showed no activity for like 8 days but finally tracking updated last night that it was going to be delivered today. I got a huge box with not alot in it. ( Not in a bad way) got a sericin eye lift creme retails for 1,295.00 , wahl ceramic and gel pack 14.95 , 1irk bag priceless and the biggest piece of the delivery was a lone star chef take-a-wok portable gas cooker 229.99 . So I def scored as soon as my little guy wakes up ( out of school sick) I’ll put grill together and see if everything is there ,it looks it. But I’m shocked at the cost of the eye lifting creme. The price alone made my eyes lift so it def works. Who else got the eye creme and what did u do with it ? At that price is it resale worthy
Got a makeup mirror, a broken Samsung oldddd GearVR headset and a LG Tone Pro that was clearly used and disgustingly sticky. Those went right in the bin.
Mine was full of headsets of varying degrees of stickiness and limited functionality. Some kind of weird purple quilted bag and my irk bag. There was a small bluetooth speaker that one of the kids took off with.
flimsy-slate-cricket arrived last week, but I saved it to open with family.
One of those salad bowls that freezes to take to work, which promptly broke.
Nice little saucepan with lid.
Awesome package of Dickies.
(The socks - very nice, perfect for my son).
Gigantic orange IRK bag.
I’m ever so grateful for this one, it is special and I love it!
Whelp, finally got some truly regrettable shit this time around—you’re welcome for taking this useless junk to the e-waste dump:
• One (1) LG Tone Pro wireless headphones (the kind douchey finance bros used to wear in 2012); dead on arrival
• One (1) Samsung Level U Pro wireless headphones (the kind douchey finance bros used to wear in 2015); dead on arrival
• Two (2) motorola H730 earpieces (the kind self-important types used to wear in 2010) with the return labels to PC Richard & Sons; dead on arrival one leaking a nasty brown liquid
• Two (2) mPULSE ear buds; working !! (albeit one was filthy and therefore given to a colleague after an alcohol swabbing)
• One (1) Zen 5-in-1 Travel Pro Speaker / Speakerphone with BONUS! Power Bank; working !! (the 5-in-1 is misleading as i believe the 2 wriststraps counted towards the ‘5’)
• One (1) IRK bag in orange; working !!
• (the pumpkin and puzzle were not included)
I think you mean “d’or”!
@goeatweeds D’oh! Fixed, thanks!
That was FAST
@tinamarie1974 TWSS
@therealjrn that makes me sad!
@tinamarie1974 aww, me too
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 why are you guys sad?
Hmm, it came with the entire top pushed in and wrapped in clear packing tape and a note from the Post Office swearing they got it that way. Didn’t have time to open it and see if the contents look like they were packed that way or not. I’ll be home in about three hours and will update.
@mossygreen I’d be more surprised if the box was in good shape with an IRK
@mossygreen It looks good, it was a West Bend Ice Cream Machine box, and contained what appears to probably be all the parts of a West Bend Ice Cream Machine (no instructions), and also an Irk bag, a single microfiber cloth, the phone 5 piece lens kit which seems to only have spaces for four lenses, an Incipio qi charging base and a… thing? I don’t know what it is. I guess it’s some kind of gps tracker for kids from i Luv Wireless?
Contents:
One of those scaley pillows.
Light up preschool backpack.
3-piece lens kit and wireless eye mask headset.
Irk bag, too.
@juststephen one piece missing on the lens kit. Irk, indeed.
@juststephen Those lens kits usually have two of the lenses screwed together. See if one of your lenses becomes two.
Meh tried to warn me, but I wouldn’t listen. The Cobaltx thing at bottom is half of car seat back tablet holder. Don’t know what happened to other half. Box was beaten up pretty bad. Tape job not very secure.
@Mpulse7 Why are you complaining? Now you’ll finally have some killer abs! And we’ll have the benefit of looking at them in all their fish eye lens glory after you take some photos! Win-win!
@ShotgunX
I’m a lucky guy.
Not able to post pics right now, but I got the orange bag, a set of travel laundry bags, some essential oils, an openbox vivid globe speaker (no dock!), and a set of Secret Collagen Non-Surgical Solution products. I’m quite relieved it was not surgical solution products!
got mine today.
@futurian you forgot to mention the truck they delivered it in!
Spicy.
Not sure why, but there’s a noticeable lack of regret in my IRK.
@whammy so far I think you win.
@Ignorant do any of us really win? It’s like gambling, I may be up at the moment, but I still haven’t tested anything but the wireless charger.
I got a bunch of bluetooth headphones and a speaker, that’s a win in my book. Great for Christmas gifts if they all work.
@charlenana Nice!
@charlenana did the sticker on the earbuds say reason: hygiene? i take it that’s the reason merchant can’t resell and ends up in meh
Well got mine in, wife is stoked.
and the big ticket item
So all in all a win but I’d have liked some more earbuds or speakers tbh!
I am experiencing no regret. Shark vaccum cleaner (works), wireless phone charger (doesn’t appear to work), paint markers, teeth whitener, and a breathalyzer (assume it works).
To those who got pretty good boxes, how have you fared in past? I’m batting a 1000 mediocre (no pun intended) boxes.
@Mpulse7 One or two of the ones I’ve won a long time ago were decent, with some electronics inside (toothbrush, bulletcam, etc).
Recent ones were absolutely horrible. The last two that I got were along the likes of (1) two very crappy wallet/purse combos, a pack of sticker wall decals, and a pair of socks, and (2) a cheap cup, a couple of useless USB-B cables, and some date rape test kits.
I’ve never gotten a truly top-tier box, and I’ve managed to pick up every single one from the past dozen or so. I don’t really regret it because they’re only five bucks each. Also, even the really crappy ones here are still better than any BoC I’ve gotten (which is also more expensivce at ten dollars per).
@Mpulse7
didn’t do this one but got a full working Ninja system once
That made up for a lot of crap
@Mpulse7 My last two IRKs were meh, but before that I got a recent model home theatre receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. And it WORKED. I will get my Halloween IRK tomorrow… regret soon
Neck and shoulder shiatsu massager
Some make up brushes
A 2xl stormtech shirt
A pair of used lg tone headphones that has a return sticker on box that says they don’t work
A Milan purse
@riceatusc also no irk bag was included
@riceatusc contact support over that
Already posted in the actual IRK topic for my sale but:
IRK bag
Two microfiber cleanup towels
ProNoir depilator (face hair removing tool)
A box / bottle of Sericin+ Reviving Eye Serum
A King size brown and very soft microfiber blanket which is now our couch cover.
Everything looked new.
All in all a good haul.
@Trillian
please treasure your fuko bag…
@duodec was this the eye cream that comes in a syringe ? I got one and it’s priced at 499.00 kinda insane.
Mediocre, I really don’t know how you did it. USPS has a key to open the entire front panel, so they can deliver mail to the entire complex at once. However, the package lockers have doors that are smaller than the interior of the locker. I’m not sure how you convinced the postal worker to make the delivery extra irksome, but I had to cut open the box inside the locker just to extract the contents:
2 very dented cookwares with (no longer) matching lids
2 Bluetooth headphones. One marked defective!
1 lovely irk bag (with POCKETS? such decadence)
1 Guardians of the Galaxy projector pen
10/10 would irk again
@n2o UPDATE: Both marked defective. One is uh… More defective.
@n2o This is my favorite so far.
Here’s my spooky haul:
Thanks, Meh!
@djslack I like your socks!
@djslack I love purple.
@Barneybot isn’t a real bot.
@mediocrebot True, Barneybot has a heart, unlike you.
So apparently our Usps was still delivering packages today. Got a smaller box that was a return of 4 pack copper cook pans, small skillet scratched up pretty bad. Otherwise it was all there.
Then a 3,000mah battery pack/phone holder. Also 2 blue and 2 white croc clawz paint markers. Toss in the irk bag and we got our $5 worth it seems. Gotta find someone that could use a 3 pack of copper pans.
No regret here!
Fidget spinner (just gave away 160 of these)
Light up dog collar which matches the leash I have.
5 piece lens kit, the box is crushed but contents fine.
IRK bag with pockets
Henckels 12 piece cutlery set which frankly terrifies me. I’m sure the regret will come when I use them since good knives always seem to demand a blood sacrifice from me on first use.
@callow Wow… Lucky. First one I am actually really jealous of!
@callow that’s a nice knife set. I got one in an IRK before. It was a little beat up and there were knives just flopping around in the box, but still a good set. Hope you can satisfy the blood sacrifice with just a minor nick.
furniture paint marker, juicer, socks, bath bomb rose thing, some costume looking jewelry, and an Irk bag. Woohoo! Have yet to test the juicer. Box rather beat up. Thanks Meh!
Mine came today. 5 sets of returned earbuds of various manufacturers, all returned as defective, all are actually defective. One irk bag. Not even worth a photo.
Hey meh it would be nice it you make sure that there is at least one working item in an irk box.
@Kidsandliz naw, that would diminish the regret.
@Kidsandliz does the bag work?
@connorbush yup has pockets and all
instant regret?
Got a couple nice things in this IRK.
2x blue washcloths
1x giant IRK bag
1x wireless charging base
1x black MKF handbag set (my wife will love this)
1x iJoy Mini projector bundle (haven’t tried it out yet)
Thanks Meh!!
it has arrived. i won.
1 kids sectional chair thingy
(i refuse to say lovesac because that sounds dirty as fuck)
orange IRK bag
sonicare toothbrush with charger, 1 head and some kind of tongue scraper thingy
1 nine yr old lab/border collie mix dog. he was very calm having been shipped from TX.
@carl669 Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl!
@carl669 I really like your lovesac… and also the stuff that came in your IRK
@lichme liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich!
you dirty fucker.
@carl669 You probably had more in there. The dog just ate it on the way.
@Kidsandliz he did seem awfully content when i opened that box. if it was that wicked cutz beef jerky though, me and him are going to have words.
@carl669 such a cute puppy!
@carl669 @lichme CORALLLLL
@carl669 who is a good doggy, you are a good doggy yes good pup
@CaptAmehrican he’s a very good doggo. except that one time when he ate all my kahlua pork.
Got mine today!
Orange IRK bag
Conair shower head set
Battery operated makeup brush cleaner
Blue Turkish cotton hand towels-set of two
I almost bought a makeup brush cleaner a week ago so hopefully it works. Don’t need the shower heads but they are decent so I’ll keep them around in case mine ever break again. Towels are nice.
Last thing was an Ijoy mini projector bundle that was disguised in an Epson projector box. I was really excited for a minute! Might donate it for auction if it works.
Got mine in today.
Orange IRK bag (Works!)
Aquaponic Black Series power toothbrush (All brush-heads sealed in plastic!)
Dirty Clawz clogs (Men’s size eight)
a USB Power Bank/Car jumpstarter (The power bank works…who knows if it will actually start a car)
A random black lawn stake
6 pieces of track from an electric car set
Like 3.6 roentgen…Not great, not terrible
@crow Hey those look like the Kanye West shoes.
@crow here’s a star for you for the Chernobyl reference.
@crow Sadly they didn’t send you the Croc Clawz Markers that many of us have gotten. My 2 white clawz paint markers could polish those things right up!
@raccoon81 yes…it IS a shame… the regret is sinking in
meh. Not worth a picture, big nice hefty box, opened box west bend soft serve machine and irk bag. Soft serve machine has a two star rating on amazon and is discontinued. This one was a big tease with the big fairly weighty box
IRK sachet. - Orange
LG Tone+ Bluetooth headset. Also Orange. Seems to work!
King bamboo sheet set. Dark gray.
Sericin+ reviving eye cream with complimentary eye cream shovel
Brilliance New York facial serum - broken pump.
The pup destroyed the wife’s headphones. So timing is good. And soon my skin will be supple.
@stevcruise
@stevcruise such a cute puppy!!
Orange IRK bag
Various items marked as “defective”
mPULSE workout headphones and bluetooth speaker
“ZEN” Travel pro 5 in 1 speaker
Samsung Level wireless headphones
LG Bluetooth headphones
@liz It looks like “defective” is the theme for this round of IRK’s.
@liz You got 3 of the same things I did in my irk (I had duplicates), not counting the bag . All of mine were marked defective (and were). I hope some of yours work.
The mailman knocked on the window and I almost got mad since I just got the baby to sleep BUT he brought my IRK! He was also just trying to warn me that the box was heavy - so I couldn’t stay mad (especially since baby stayed asleep)
I got:
@shyxgrl The baby would probably also prefer you didn’t accidentally kill yourself.
KuoH
@shyxgrl Could be worse… the baby could have preferred “What’s new, Pussycat”
@shyxgrl i got one of these in an irk a while back. looked brand new, but it wouldn’t charge.
mmmmmm used headphones
@clonetek Looks like only one has a “bad news” sticker on it. you might be in luck and have 4 that work.
oh, there were more stickers
@clonetek are there any without stickers?
@clonetek mine was basically the same minus one of the mPULSE buds and switch one of the wireless LG’s for wireless Samsung. All used, none work. The speaker won’t charge but will work while plugged in.
@clonetek @Ignorant Sorry there are more of us with only literal trash in our irk. This is kind of a first for meh.
@Kidsandliz it’s an IRK of course it’s trash if you’re expecting more you shouldn’t buy it.
@Ignorant There is a difference between only getting literal trash and a mix of trash and random junk. I don’t recall as much non-working items all in one irk box in the past. Usually people got at least one thing that was working/non-broken even if it wasn’t something they wanted.
@Ignorant
@Kidsandliz
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve received multiple fuku/fuko/irk with all broken stuff, it’s the chance you take
@Ignorant I have had individually broken things but never everything in the entire box. Also had some “dollar tree” style boxes. I did get lucky twice though and got something refurbished that I would actually use.
Got mine today, it had two (2) items:
1 Irk bag
1 Coffee Maker, looks like it was returned. Not sure if defective or not yet.
All packed in a large box with no padding!
I’m not a coffee drinker but other person is, so hopefully it works! It looks nice, at least:
https://www.amazon.com/Motif-Essential-Pour-Over-Coffee-Brewer/dp/B077V85X1L/
Ty meh
@andrd that’s a pretty good coffee maker if it works - good luck!
Y’all, my IRK is stalled in “Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item” purgatory, and I’m itching to see all the defective headphones I’m gonna get! I can’t wait!
@btwonder mine has been there since 11/8 after it left Atlanta to go to College Park to then return to Atlanta!
@btwonder Hey I could have sent you 5 sets but I tossed them already. Would have only cost you 5 bucks plus postage (snicker).
Look! Look! Look! It’s purple! And it seems to work.
There’s some other cool stuff, too.
So I also got a power bank that’s kinda working, and a QI wireless charging base. I don’t know if that works because I have no devices that charge wirelessly.
And peeking out from the very back of the photo is a food saver. It came with a roll of plastic AND the instruction manual, which I read. Well, I’m guessing someone returned this as non-working, but after following the instructions, (clearing my throat), it works!
Finally as a bonus, was a couple of Clawz pens.
What can I say? Meh, you screwed up again. I’m happy with my I.R.K. (and my purple). Better luck next time.
Thanks!
Wait! I didn’t get a bag! Aha, you are already seeking revenge on me, aren’t you Meh.
Christmas Shopping DONE!!!
Can’t remember how to post pictures! This is only my second irk, maybe 3rd.
1 orange irk bag with pockets!
1 orange set of LG blue tooth headphones not marked
(Charging now)
1 set of make up brushes
1 Yeti Stop It leak thingy marked with an rma number but 2 were returned and the one I got is still packaged!
1 biaggi zipsak folding luggage! As seen on Shark Tank! This thing is very cool! If I figure out how to post pictures again, I’ll be posting it!
@membrr to post photos on a phone turn it sideways and click on the mountain with a sun icon immediately to the right of the 101 010 icon. On a computer click on the same thing.
One item. With a meh sticker slapped on the side. Appears to be unopened
HP OfficeJet Pro 6830 All-in-One Wireless Printer
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M27V6SE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_G7gZDbXJYX8M4
@aleohansen Did you open it? Sometimes they open boxes and put a bag in there.
@sammydog01 I did not. I want to keep the tape on so I can sell it as new. But you’ve piqued my curiosity
@aleohansen You might not be selling a printer. It would be prudent to check.
@Kidsandliz it’s a printer. The packaging has handles that you can see inside
@aleohansen Well then you are in luck! Something good to sell.
@aleohansen i almost guarantee you that there is random stuff stuck in the box, like an irk bag and some clawz coloring markers. But you should sell it sealed and just see what the buyer finds in there and says in your Ebay feedback.
@sammydog01 y’all were right. Inside was an Irk bag, socks, two phone lens clips
@djslack
@aleohansen @djslack That’s pretty funny since mine just came with nothing beside a humidifier in it’s originial (sort of) box.
As we all know, when an IRK appears, you go into clicking mode without thinking.
My IRK got delivered to a different address. Seeing as how most of the posts were similar and all crap headphones, I told them to open it up.
1 x IRK bag.
2 x (used) mPULSE headphones.
2 x (no comment on used status, which makes me think the aforementioned are nasty.) LG Tone sci-fi looking slave collar “wireless” wired things.
1 x mPulse Bluetooth Speaker/Speakerphone
Much regret that this seems to be a dump of crappy music products they couldn’t sell versus a spattering of a lot of random shit they couldn’t sell.
(Still pretty excited, and will forever buy an IRK if the powers that be allow.)
1 Ugly double purse thing
2 Boxes for wireless ear buds, both empty
1 Neck massage thing with all the bits, might work?
1 BrowFood…for my Yellow Lab? Maybe…
1 IRK bag
Overall, very disappointed, they shipped empty boxes… What is this? Too expensive to hire trash pickup, somehow cheaper to send it all to us? The environment is angry at you MEH!
@michaelahess Empty boxes happen. One time I received an empty box for an IPhone.
@Barney @michaelahess I got an empty box for a super fancy speaker once.
@michaelahess I got an empty box of lg bluetooth earbuds as well. There’s even an amazon return number written on loose leaf paper.
I got a blendtec classic 575 blender with a bag and some socks inside the blender box too
I got a sous vide thing, socks, purple surge protector, and a power bank that got hot when I charged it. (Neat!)
No bag, though.
Slow cooker seemed to work. Thanks.
@medz I love purple.
@Barney loves purple.
I have a little less regret than intended…
I received:
@D_a_v_e - Yikes! I wouldn’t suggest messing with a cracked pressure cooker. At least the pressure feature. It could blow up, I think?
@D_a_v_e @kdemo agreed, my instant pot exploded a few times even though it was new
@D_a_v_e suggest trying outside with a long extension cord
@D_a_v_e @jmhsrv - Yes! And approach it only when wearing a suit of armor.
@D_a_v_e
All this worry… meh wouldn’t send it to me if it was unsafe!
(the metal parts seem fine, just some plastic trim and whatnot)
I do like the idea of trying with an extension cord though.
@D_a_v_e sounds like we got the exact same IRK!
Mine came wrapped in USPS “shits broke, yo” tape
Two bags, socks, pressure cooker
bottom is pretty busted up, doesn’t sit on the counter flat, and the pressure valve on top was in the bottom of the box when it arrived, so… dunno.
Regardless, we already own two pressure cookers, and an instant pot that my wife does’t want, so I might just have to bin this one since I can’t donate it.
Looks like my meh/IRK luck finally ran out on this one. Least the socks look comfy
@D_a_v_e @smigit2002 I got that same pressure cooker last IRK. Mine was just a bit scratched up inside and makes fantastic rice. Bummer about yours.
@D_a_v_e @kdemo @tinkleondabeach How does an instant pot explode a few times? I’d think it’d be one and done as far as exploding.
1 orange irk bag
10 piece pot and pan sent. All bent badly. Kept the lids. Threw away pans.
Camera glasses
Used bluetooth headphones that were sticky and smelled like a middle school locker room.
Vitamin C spray.
Phone lens kit.
I kept the lids, glasses camera, and irk bag. For the first time ever i didn’t put the box in my irk fuku boc closet.
5/5 will buy again.
My bix was less than Meh for the first time ever
Swiss Chop Chop, manual chopper
M8/W9 Blue Clawz Croc-knock off
Vivitar painless hair remover
Angelina (Women’s) M Sports Bra
IRK bag.
I’ll probably regret the slap on the face when I offer these things to my wife or other female friends…
IRK cake yesterday but couldn’t open it until today. Here we go!
Included:
-king microfiber sheets (time for a king bed?)
-Lamzac fatboy chair (daughter super excited)
-3 (!!!) piece lens kit; I must not be as special as the 5-piece recipients
-3 Monster microfiber towels
-orange IRK bag
Not a bad haul of seemingly new merch. Thanks, meh!!
@lehigh That’s a nice IRK cake that you got.
@Barney D’oh! ^”came”. Though I like the sound of the IRK cake. Might go something like this?
@lehigh I remember that episode. No, I didn’t see it first run. I’m not THAT old.
@Barney @lehigh Could you let us know how the lamzac thing works? I keep looking at them on Morningsave and figure I would break a hip.
@Barney @sammydog01 Will do. It’ll be a few months before we take it for a test drive (brr!). I’ve seen others use them and think the Amazon reviews are apt. From what I’ve seen from others using it, it’s also not the easiest to fill — you really need a good breeze.
@lehigh Edit, only 2 lenses in the 3 lens kit. But one lens cap!
I think I might have won this one -
@tech2therescue Did you know that there has been complaints about Meh only sending out trash and nothing good this time? I really like the trash you got!
@Barney I know, right? I think this trash is another man’s treasure! Wish I would have found meh a long time ago!
@tech2therescue does the vacuum work?
@tinkleondabeach It does! All components were in the box and it turned right on and started sucking…err, sweeping!
@tech2therescue sweet haul!
Meh! How did you know my shoe size?!?!? And that I’ve been wanting a pair of Clawz to wear with my TRex costume!!!
Items this IRK
-charcoal teeth whitening powder
-orange irk bag
Soooooo happy!!!
Wow… by far my worst IRK yet…
That’s it. The sheets we’ve bought before for our cal-king they sucked, and besides these are for an eastern king so… This was definitely an Instant Regret Kit this time.
@TehMaliron balance boards are worth a lot, use it fatass
@tinkleondabeach
Our kit contained the following:
1x Blendtec blender (works to my amazement)
2x bags
1x pack of Dickies industrial work socks (3 pair)
1x salad bowl from Coolgear
This is the first time I’ve felt truly Meh about my I.R.K. It consists of a single Lovesac Kid’s Sactional seat, and the obligatory I.R.K. bag. The variety of random crap is usually the most entertaining part, but this time I’m simply Meh-ed out.
/giphy Not Entertained
No complaints about this IRK :
Thanks, Meh!
Starting to see a pattern in my IRKs - the last three, including this one have been returns that the shipping label was literally slapped on and sent to yours truly… The last two didnt work. One was a busted receiver, the other was so meh, I cant even recall what it was… hopefully this one will work, although I have some doubts. Also received the orange IRK bag, and Jons wireless Apple mouse - Jon, I have your mouse, will it juice? -
The bag and the mouse were crammed in the juicer box and then it was taped back up… lol
Update - I just tried the juicer, works like a charm, is very quiet and is easy to clean. Wife is irritated that I now have another appliance - oh well for her -
lol, this is the first time I’ve been disappointed with my IRK.
1 x Motif Essential pour-over coffee Brewer (broken and missing parts)
1 x XL white Angelina bra
1 x Orange LG TONE+ headphones
1 x Hyaluronic Acid Serum
1 x Tamo 2200mAh power bank
1 x Orange IRK bag
Something went terribly wrong! My only regret is that I couldn’t buy two:
Dryer 3400, with attachment, seems new and works well. $26 at Amazon, with three reviews, a five-star (“strong”), a four-star (“pretty strong”), and a one-star (“weak”). My wife will be the judge.
1x IRK bag (Orange)
1x iPulse Massager TENS Unit + EMS Stimulation Combo pack.
1x PalmNRG Neck and Shoulder Reusable Instant Heat and Cold Pack
1x 360fly POV Telescopic Pole (360fly cam not included)
1x mPULSE Go BT Speaker
1x C Wonder Limited black neutral stripe pouch.
Not a bad haul. Thanks Meh!
I am completely un-disappointed in my IRK. What a strange feeling. I got:
1 IRK bag
1 Fuko bag
1 frying pan (slightly dented) with lid (still fits)
3 pair of Dickies work socks
4-piece set of Adventure Time pint glasses!
Quality over quantity this time… I’m happy!
My second ever IRK came with much less regret than my first. I got:
5 piece lens set
3 pack of Dickies work socks
TrackR bluetooth phone finding thingy
A lovely orange IRK bag
And a Deebot robot vacuum, with manual and what looks like all the needed parts. Still haven’t tested it, but there’s pet hair in the dirt compartment, so it at least must have worked at some point.
@grammar_geek if that deebot works congrats!
(if not, at least you have socks)
@RogerWilco it’s missing the side brushes, but I can get those on Amazon and it seems like it’ll work otherwise. If not, I work at a computer repair shop and I’m sure we could figure it out.
Definitely regrettable. 1) Pink ‘Cattitude’ light up backpack. Not my style, but I’ll be donating that to a foster kid organization, so not too bad. 2) 21 led 3 panel make-up mirror. I got this in my last IRK too. I guess I could use it when I trim my beard? Or make one of those optical illusion mirror boxes? 3) Sharper Image Wireless TV headphones. The box was open and in rough shape, but everything was there. They work. However they are the second worst headphones I’ve ever tried to use, after the earbuds I got at the dollar store a while back. Garage sale for sure. 4)orange IRK bag. I really should start taking these with me when I go shopping… And that’s it. Meh.
a classic mix of socks and pots on my end:
Not my most exciting box, but nothing was broken.
An unusual box for me this time:
The only potentially-useful item here is that coffee brewer. This is an item we considered buying when Meh offered it, so if we get a working brewer out of this deal I’ll be thrilled. If not, then Irk will have hit me with additional regret by dangling the anticipation of good coffee in front of me before smashing those dreams. I’m attempting to repair the carafe handle using a block of wood and copious amounts of superglue, so we’ll find out if the brewer works once the glue sets.
Getting only part of a SimpliSafe system isn’t actually useful at all; without any door or window sensors the system can’t really do anything. Oddly enough, though, it is the exact system that my in-laws use, so maybe they’ll have a use for some spare parts?
The power supply is a rather random add-in. If any of y’all received some 12v gizmo without its power supply, sorry, looks like it fell into my box instead
@kasona Extra keypads are always handy if you have multiple entrances.
KuoH
Here is a picture of the Irk! The headphones work and appear new, make up brushes can be very expensive and I can use my Yeti cup again!
I read the reviews on the luggage and the main complaint was it is awkward to wheel around the airport or if not packed correctly it’s tippy…others loved theirs so if it isn’t easy at the airport, it’ll be for camping! Win win!
I got mine! It’s FILLED with regret. Literally, because it was just an orange meh bag in the opened box of a Lovesac kid’s ottoman. Not the couch or chair, but just the base and pad.
I regret it even more because my kids are probably gonna like this enough to make me buy additional pieces for it in future Lovesac sales.!
Unless they’re never sold again, in which case I got this crappy tuffet and nothing to do with it, yayyy!
@btwonder So THAT’S what a tuffet is!
@btwonder morningsave has the sides. Reasonably cheap. There’s also a few folks in this thread that might be willing to ship theirs to you, though probably prohibitively expensive
Here’s my IRK:
A humidifier! I have no idea if it works yet, it’s pretty banged up. No bag, nothing else.
Can I talk about packaging for a bit? This looks like it was returned and a label was cut off the front. Someone repaired the box with cardboard and tape:
And they didn’t have a box quite big enough so they used two with a set of flaps up end to end:
I thinlk I’m looking at maybe 10, 15 minutes of packing here. Nice job warehouse people! I’m impressed! Soooo much tape!
@sammydog01 I’m surprised they put the box in a box!
-Ideation Bluetooth ear buds
-Wireless Charging pad
-Broken Brugi woman’s watch
-Superman Socks
-An off brand fitness tracker
-Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System (blender that comes with food processor and smoothie thing)
-Orange IRK bag
The blender works perfectly and came with all the associated attachments and packaging stickers still on it. Wife and I are thrilled! No regret here!
What’s going on here. Does meh have something to say about my physical health. No worries, I’m actually ramping up my workout and this thing makes my abs quiver. Brand new Body Coaster for personal growth. And a bag and upside down umbrella. Well done sirs!
1 IRK bag
1 large bra (of sorts)
1 plug-in-able hair brush
1 small blender
1 odd-style purse
Completely worth the investment.
I got mine! I was thinking I had done really, really well for my first IRK:
Then I opened the robot vacuum box and it kept going:
I think I’ve peaked - it’s gotta be all downhill from here.
@jkac Yep, you’re doomed.
My box finally got released from purgatory. It sat at one of the hubs from Saturday until today. It originally was supposed to be delivered Saturday but my mailman decided to take it back to the hub for whatever reason. I was thinking I would have to go in and complain tomorrow but all of a sudden it showed up and was waiting for me today.
Meh must think I have a lot of ear holes. 4 pairs of headphones and a portable speaker. Also a nice orange bag.
I wasn’t too hopeful since there was return stickers on a few items.
The mpulse headphones just said used, can’t be resold. They are corded headphones and when I cut the tape open I was greeted by earwax on one of the ear pieces. Gross. I guess it could be cleaned but I didn’t even look at them any further since I had more options to get through. Return sticker was dated 2015 so that wax has been sitting around a while.
A pair of LG Tone Pros. Bluetooth neckband headphones. They looked new and they work but the volume is pretty low and they don’t sound great. I wasn’t feeling too hopeful at this point. This is probably something I’ll throw in my locker at work as a backup. Can be found new for around $30. They cost more in 2016 when they were manufactured.
Two sets of Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth neckband headphones. One of the boxes said the charging cover won’t stay shut. Turns out, they both work and sound pretty damn good! They looked brand new in the box with all the little plastic covers still stuck on the headphones. The one box was missing the charger and extra ear pieces. Reviews said they start to break after several months so I’m glad to have two sets because they are the best sounding Bluetooth options I own now. The broken charging door isn’t even that big of a deal on the one. Found them new for sale from anywhere around $25-80. Manufactured in 2016 and the one was returned in 2017. Used to retail for $100.
And if it wasn’t enough to have the four sets of headphones to shove in my ears, I got an mPulse Go Bluetooth speaker. The accessories were floating loose in the main box. It didn’t look like this thing was going to work but after letting it charge for several hours I finally got it to turn on. It’s loud, it sounds nice. Used to retail for $79.
Overall my ears are pretty pleased! Over $300 retail worth of stuff.
@RiotDemon Glad some of this stuff worked for you - gives hope to others receiving this same box. : )

Anyone not gonna use their photo lens for their phone? I’ve always wanted to try them but not enough to buy them. I’ll pay for shipping.
Well here is my crap…Not a bad pull compared to other ones I have received.
@bswan19 I have that speaker- I really like it.
Any one else awaiting delivery?
Mine seem to have stalled
@Catman252 Mine is stuck in the same location
@Catman252 This looks surprisingly familiar!
@Catman252 I am running into the same issue
nearly five minutes of unboxing goodness
@zippyus I enjoyed that!
My IRK left Atlanta last Friday the 8th. Today is Friday the 15th. Usually when a package leaves Atlanta it is on my porch in Pensacola, FL. the next day. I got the wife a set of sheets that also left Atlanta the 8th and they have yet to show up. @snapster @dave We are begging you to please drop this NEWGISTICS outfit. In today’s age of porch pirates keeping tracking info up to date is very important to us. So is actual delivery of our purchases in a reasonable and timely manner.
After being stuck in delivery hell for a bit mine arrived:
1 FukuClassic bag
1 NewIRK bag
1 pack of Dickie’s work socks
1 Milan purse
1 Hot Pink Hoverboard! (scuffed to hell but fully working)
I am terrified by the hoverboard but have already tried it out, it’s fun! Hopefully it doesn’t burn my apartment down. Thanks Meh!
Not worthy of a photo.
1 x 12x telephoto phone lens
1 wine bottle bag
1 blue washcloth
1 West Bend soft-serve Ice cream maker
(I work 10 miles from West Bend, WI (Gee, thanks).)
i guess I did get at least $5 worth of crap
@rtjhnstn the ice cream thing alone is worth $40.
Try selling on eBay?
@rtjhnstn but it is a decent box. Much better than what a bunch of us got.
@tinamarie1974 My IRK was shipped in the original product box, without internal structural support. (Is there suddenly a shortage of Texas air.) And anyways, I already own a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker. I haven’t used it in 4 years.
I got a fine IRK.
The TrackeR thing in pink
Monster screen cleaner
HP USB2 cable (Monster branded, USB A to B, for external drives & printers)
Orange Meh bag
Bag of 11’’ cable ties (Seemingly from Harbor Freight- hope someone dug these out from a gigantic pile of things they’ve collected from the store)
Pic (w/o TrackeR shown)
I gawt,
an ultimate spin daily facial cleanser, (new, unopened)
a sharper image massaging neck wrap, (new, unopened)
a purple makeup bag (i think), (looks mostly new)
a white RFID protecting wallet/clutch with built in charger (looks new)
a 3-1 hair dryer/brush (looks returned, but inside still in plastic)
and of course, an orange IRK bag!!
Lot of stuff for the ladies in here, but the good news is most of it looks new, soooo… cheap secret santa gifts for the girls at work!!! thanks Meh!!!
@jdude727 I love purple.
@Barneybot isn’t a real bot.
I waited a couple of days to open mine. It was pretty heavy! Inside:
Cozy Comfy Weighted Blanket - at 12 pounds, this was most of the package weight. Not sure if new or a return, but looks new. Can’t look at that image without thinking of the creepy one when they sell these!
Wonder Woman pen with flashlight. Works. Sealed package.
mPULSE earphones with orange and green cords. Says “Opened” so I assume not clean, but look decent. Other size pieces included.
LG Tone Pro headset. Also an obvious return. Some crud on the earpieces, but otherwise decent. No return sticker, but everything there and charging light works so far.
Samsung LEVEL wireless headphones. Decent shape, but return sticker says “Bluetooth keeps disconnecting, even during a phone call” so we shall see.
Orange IRK bag. Have this color from a previous IRK.
Weighted blanket goes for about $40 on epay.
WW pen probably $3
mPULSE earphones maybe $24 new
LG Tone Pro - Orig. $70 - on clearance at BB for $40
Samsung LEVEL - $?? Does have aptX, so maybe worth getting new earpieces if they work.
IRK bag - priceless
For sure better than $5 worth of stuff. The headphones look like they came from one of those places that sell random returns.
@500vdc oooohhhh ybmuG look!!! Wonder Woman is now showing up in the Irk’s!!!
@500vdc I got all the same headphones plus an extra Samsung. The Levels sound great. Been using them for a few days and the Bluetooth cuts out occasionally when my phone is in my pocket and I bend. I’m not sure if that’s more a phone issue or a headphone issue. All the Bluetooth headphones I have do the same thing with three different phones. The Levels are the least glitchy.
I don’t know man! It’s tough to regret something that keeps getting better. I feel like I have peaked though so next time is bound to be an instant IRK. Although I am enjoying the kitchen appliances from these last 2.
Sorry about the delay, busy weekend before traveling.
Regretful contents noted below.
1 - Sonicare toothbrush out of a box - Works - I know because I used the provided heads to brush my teeth this weekend!
1 - Weird vibrating hair brush that also has rounded bumps on one side to also message other areas of the body
1 - pair of wireless buds in a slightly smooshed box. Seem ok though.
1 - Nespresso with a milk frother. Frother works so I assumed the nespresso does as well. Need to find some pods to test it. It does have a damaged side container that is used for garbage pods…hoping that is why this thing was tossed into an oversized box with no support so it just rattled around.
1 - sexy orange slightly earth friend bag.
1 - creepy reflection of me and a dog if you look close enough!

So mine showed no activity for like 8 days but finally tracking updated last night that it was going to be delivered today. I got a huge box with not alot in it. ( Not in a bad way) got a sericin eye lift creme retails for 1,295.00 , wahl ceramic and gel pack 14.95 , 1irk bag priceless and the biggest piece of the delivery was a lone star chef take-a-wok portable gas cooker 229.99 . So I def scored as soon as my little guy wakes up ( out of school sick) I’ll put grill together and see if everything is there ,it looks it. But I’m shocked at the cost of the eye lifting creme. The price alone made my eyes lift so it def works. Who else got the eye creme and what did u do with it ? At that price is it resale worthy
@Catman252 all I can say is thanks and holy hell
@Catman252 there’s a different sericin selling on eBay for $499 and a different one on Amazon for $99.
Maybe try selling it for $50?
Got a makeup mirror, a broken Samsung oldddd GearVR headset and a LG Tone Pro that was clearly used and disgustingly sticky. Those went right in the bin.
@zachary why are all.the returns sticky? I find that very odd!
Mine was full of headsets of varying degrees of stickiness and limited functionality. Some kind of weird purple quilted bag and my irk bag. There was a small bluetooth speaker that one of the kids took off with.
flimsy-slate-cricket arrived last week, but I saved it to open with family.
One of those salad bowls that freezes to take to work, which promptly broke.
Nice little saucepan with lid.
Awesome package of Dickies.
(The socks - very nice, perfect for my son).
Gigantic orange IRK bag.
I’m ever so grateful for this one, it is special and I love it!
Thank you meh staff.
Altec Lansing Sonic boom Everything Proof outdoor speaker
5 piece lens kit
Cupcake bath bomb, pink champagne
Simplisafe entry sensor
RG gold hoop earrings.
Orange IRK bag
Everything came in the outdoor speaker box, kind of jammed in the sides. The box was a mess, lots of tape. No clue if it works. We have no use for it.
Whelp, finally got some truly regrettable shit this time around—you’re welcome for taking this useless junk to the e-waste dump:
• One (1) LG Tone Pro wireless headphones (the kind douchey finance bros used to wear in 2012); dead on arrival
• One (1) Samsung Level U Pro wireless headphones (the kind douchey finance bros used to wear in 2015); dead on arrival
• Two (2) motorola H730 earpieces (the kind self-important types used to wear in 2010) with the return labels to PC Richard & Sons; dead on arrival one leaking a nasty brown liquid
• Two (2) mPULSE ear buds; working !! (albeit one was filthy and therefore given to a colleague after an alcohol swabbing)
• One (1) Zen 5-in-1 Travel Pro Speaker / Speakerphone with BONUS! Power Bank; working !! (the 5-in-1 is misleading as i believe the 2 wriststraps counted towards the ‘5’)
• One (1) IRK bag in orange; working !!
• (the pumpkin and puzzle were not included)
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I received:
Dickie’s work socks – 3 pack
Mustard colored shoulder purse
Orange IRK bag
Retro Red Fuko bag
2 pc set of luggage (nice surprise!)
Thanks! Meh!
This is what I got…nothing …so I wasn’t irked at all.
