Shipping horror/success stories on Morningsave/Sidedeal
7Horror-ordered a charging hub on Sidedeal on November 23rd and was finally delivered on Feb 27th-over three months later. To Meh credit they gave me a refund after it showed as MIA after a month. It spent over a month in Orlando probably going to the theme parks.
Success-Ordered a backrest pillow from Morningsave for my daughter on Feb 27th. Shipped out from NJ on March 1st and she got it in Rockville, Maryland one day later on March 2nd. WOW

My experiences have all been positive. although I’ve only ordered a few things from them - things ordered show up surprisingly quick, using real shipping companies like UPS and FedEx. I had assumed that’s what you get for the couple extra bucks over Meh pricing was a real shipping department.
Success would be the TeeTurtle shirt order from Morningsave. It arrived the same day as when I got shipping confirmation.
Failure would probably be the neoprene sleeve orders. They actually arrived.
When it comes from Meh in Texas, it all depends on who they ship it with-Fedex being the best, Pitney Blows the worst (by far). Stuff drop shipped directly from the company gets to you fast.
Knock on wood, I haven’t had a lot of delays getting any orders from any of the Mercatalyst branches; but I haven’t been in a hurry for them either. The one glitch was a hand mixer from Morning Save; I got an email saying it had been delivered, and it hadn’t. But it turned out to be a FedEx mistake, I’m pretty sure, because the box showed up 2 days later. It had been opened and then taped back up with just a short piece of tape. Nothing missing though!
Wish I could see more of the background photo the bot chose for this one
@mbersiam Looks to be the VMP page.

In Windows, if you right-click the header and click “view page source”, look for “background image” and copy the image URL.
@mbersiam I found it:

Huh, I posted my link without seeing either of yours - !
@Kyeh @mbersiam @narfcake @rockblossom easiest way, for me, to see the photo is from the main meh.com/forum page. Just right click on the circle thumbnail and view image. Sometimes the image is too small and then rockblossoms way works better.
I had some of those hockey puck lights that after months never shipped so I asked for a refund.
The worst is from woot. Two Christmas’s ago I bought my brother a wallet and got a note saying it would ship out later. As the year went on I totally forgot about it. He ended up getting it at the end of October the following year, three weeks before he moved. I was so dumbfounded by it.
@Star2236 Well, if it’s any consolation, I got the hockey puck lights but I don’t like them very much. They ARE bright, but awkward to put up anywhere; the suction cups are too weak for the weight of the light.
I ordered a set of Moscow Mule mugs and received an LED light-bulbe/Bluetooth speaker combo.

@PocketBrain I mean they are basically the same lol
The only shipping mistake I recall was that time they shipped us the security cameras instead of the laterns, then shipped the lanterns. And put up the totally optional thing to pay for the cameras if you wanted them or return them. You could just keep them per US law.
I thought too long/forgot. Before they took the pay option down. Probably left vmp/member on long enough on months with no orders to cover it.
