@RiotDemon Pitney Bowes uses FedEx to do a transfer to USPS that is why coming west almost all my MEH packages go through Indiana. Pitney is just the technology provider that allows for the postage to be paid and labels to be printed from what I understand.
@PepticYeti I don’t believe that’s the case. They switched to Newgistics which Pitney Bowes bought. All my shipments are way slower than anything I get that’s FedEx smart post.
@PepticYeti@RiotDemon@sammydog01 Thanks. Once you get the tracking and bring it up there is a link on the right side that says view tracking history. When you click on that it brings up the weight.
@sammydog01 if it’s a baby it will be a dead baby by the time it reaches you.
No baby can survive four weeks stuck in a box in a Pitney Bowes warehouse for four weeks as warehouse workers play soccer with the boxes and leap into them and practice mountaint climbing on them with spiky pick axes and such.
@laurae19 too bad the tracking info doesn’t tell you if there are air holes in the box. Oh wait. There probably are air slits since so many of them only have a couple of inches of tape marginally keeping them shut. This box is probably sending you hairless twins - that would account for the missing 2 oz. You want boys or girls or both this round?
@RiotDemon Well that tells you how often I go and look with this irk. Since meh had said the later part of June I just ignored it until someone posted theirs had shipped. Of course that 10+ days is probably on the “+” side of things.
Once I remembered the proper magical incantation, I was granted the knowledge that there is 5 lb 12 oz of irk headed my way.
I am about 3 hours away from MeHQ. With Pitney Bowes in charge of the ride, that means Meh only has a couple of weeks to offer another IRK to keep my strange 2020 streak of buying an irk before the previous one was delivered alive.
WHAT THE FUCK! Yeah, it’s been that kind of week and I needed to scream it. Mine shipped and it says it’s shipping to the person I sent the one single PastaDrop to. That’s not even the default shipping address for me so I have no idea how the system could fuck that up so badly. This is on top of getting the wrong colored headphones, and the one damn item I really wanted from the mehrathon is apparently lost in transit.
@Ignorant The system should not have ported any shipping addresses from a different site. I wonder how many people it fucked over. At least the address it’s going to isn’t that far from me. I’m quite sure others will have their orders shipped to another state.
@cinoclav I sure hope that fix that for the future. Meh should have thought through the consequences of what they were doing on the pasta site for the rest of their sites. I am glad that at least it is going reasonably close to where you are. But what a pain.
Mine shipped. If to be believed it weighs 25lbs. Last time a Fuko was listed that weight I received a massive box that was opened, emptied and destroyed with other unrelated FedEx packages inside, so here’s to hoping this one works out better.
A real laugh, shipped on 6/11 and PB tracking lists the estimated delivery date as today! Hahahaha, maybe they do have a sense of humor as they take 6 weeks to get it here.
As has mine! The Pitney Bowes Induction Ceremony is complete. I was not invited to attend.
I was Irkless on May 15th.
@ELUNO
/giphy condolences
Oh lucky you! Nothing here
@tinamarie1974 we’ll see when it arrives in a month who is lucky.
Mine shipped. 1lb 13oz.
@n3uka What url did you use to find the weight?
https://pitneybowes.shipment.co/track/XXXXX
Replace the X’s with your tracking number, should say the weight.
/giphy package weight
Woohooo it has shipped looks like it is coming USPS and not through a Fedex to USPS transfer that so that is awesome, downside I can’t see the weight!
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@PepticYeti it hasn’t been FedEx since last year. Mine shipped Pitney Bowes. I’m not holding my breath.
@PepticYeti @RiotDemon The downside of the new shipper is you can’t see the weight. HAHAHA!
Actually if you put your tracking number here
https://pitneybowes.shipment.co/track
you can see the weight.

@PepticYeti @RiotDemon @sammydog01 Thanks. Once you get the tracking and bring it up there is a link on the right side that says view tracking history. When you click on that it brings up the weight.
8 pounds 13 ounces. Hope it’s not a baby.
@sammydog01 I don’t know if I want to look at the weight.
@sammydog01 if it’s a baby it will be a dead baby by the time it reaches you.
No baby can survive four weeks stuck in a box in a Pitney Bowes warehouse for four weeks as warehouse workers play soccer with the boxes and leap into them and practice mountaint climbing on them with spiky pick axes and such.
@sammydog01 Both will take 9 months to arrive…
I still can’t find my shipping weight on the link I found above but I’m also partially blind so that’s not uncommon.
@PepticYeti when on the Pitney Bowes website, you have to click the little locator pin to get the weight.
@PepticYeti @RiotDemon On my desktop it says view tracking page.
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 found it thanks 3.8lbs
@PepticYeti @RiotDemon
What is the Pitney Bowes website? Does that work for pasta drop too?
@Star2236 yes.
https://pitneybowes.shipment.co/track/
@RiotDemon
Thanks
@PepticYeti @RiotDemon Thank you… I would have never thought to click the little location pin, I was going insane!
7lbs even, bouncing baby IRK.
10 lbs 3 oz?! My twins combined were 10 lbs 5 oz. So help me, if y’all sent me more twins…

5.3oz of crap I likely don’t need coming my way! But then again…maybe…
Well the Piney Blows shipping site now says 10+ day delay in delivery of stuff.
@Kidsandliz they’ve said that for several weeks.
@RiotDemon Well that tells you how often I go and look with this irk. Since meh had said the later part of June I just ignored it until someone posted theirs had shipped. Of course that 10+ days is probably on the “+” side of things.
12 lbs. 12 oz. due here on next Saturday. Maybe.
15 lbs. 9 oz. Picked up on the 1st and inducted on the 6th. I wonder how far it is from the loading dock to PB?
@speediedelivery Same. Better hope it’s not stroopwafels, cbd gummy bears, or waxy sausages
Once I remembered the proper magical incantation, I was granted the knowledge that there is 5 lb 12 oz of irk headed my way.

@djslack lol
Mine has been sitting at a Pitney Bowes facility since June 1.
16 lbs. 2 oz. I hope it’s not TWO babies!
@jmoor783 Wow!! You’re getting a Bowling Ball!!
/giphy bowling
God-what are shipping that weighs so much. That means the last ones to ship will weigh next to nothing.
@Felton10 more pasta??
@tinamarie1974 Never thought of that OMG-this year’s candy corn but worse. Has anybody gotten pasta and knows how much it weighed?
@Felton10 bags are 10# each. My mom got 100#'s on the first pasta drop
@tinamarie1974 So anything over 10 lbs has one bag of pasta in it. Yuck.
still processing…
@duodec me too. me too.
Shipped. 4lbs compared to all these heavy bois everyone is getting this it likely going to be regrettable.
/giphy shipping regret

I’m kind of pissed off at this point.
@cinoclav the last address used defaults for the next purchase. I agree there should be a single default address that you can choose.
Whenever my Fun Putty ships it’ll be heading to my in-laws house
@Ignorant The system should not have ported any shipping addresses from a different site. I wonder how many people it fucked over. At least the address it’s going to isn’t that far from me. I’m quite sure others will have their orders shipped to another state.
@cinoclav yeah unfortunately the backend systems for the family of sites are all tied together.
@Ignorant I hope they have fun with it!
@cinoclav I sure hope that fix that for the future. Meh should have thought through the consequences of what they were doing on the pasta site for the rest of their sites. I am glad that at least it is going reasonably close to where you are. But what a pain.
6.1 lb ; three times what I weighed as an infant and supposed to be here on the 16th.
Mine shipped and weighs 5lbs. 10oz. Might be something good then (I hope)!!
/giphy hopeful
3 lbs 13 ounces-at that weight can already tell it is shit.
Mine shipped. If to be believed it weighs 25lbs. Last time a Fuko was listed that weight I received a massive box that was opened, emptied and destroyed with other unrelated FedEx packages inside, so here’s to hoping this one works out better.
