I don’t think it’s traditional USPS. It says it was transferred to a FDR facility. When I look it up, a bunch of newgistics stuff comes up. USPS also says it’s not in their hands yet.
Woo hoo my shipped too. Along with the plastic bag sealer I bought. Waiting very impatiently till it comes. I wish they gave you more info about the delivery date, I have so many places to go right now.
@duodec I haven’t gotten an email either (so if this email is slow it is even slower than yours) and mine has already gone from Grapevine to IL and is now on its way back to Grapevine. I do not live in Grapevine. I do not live in TX. And in the past after spending days partying in IL it is “normally” sent to my state. I guess at the moment it might be stuck in a do loop or something as this has not happened before.
Well cool. Mine has gone from Grapevine, TX, to Greenwood, IL , then back to Grapevine, TX and today is on its way back to Greenwood, IL. If I am lucky it will stay there, party for a while with the rest of the irks, and then move onward to my apt instead of doing a rinse and repeat.
@daveinwarsh Mine is still on its way from Greenville to Grapevine for the SECOND time. Isn’t back yet in IN. I think Grapevine must be quarantining them and mine, trying to escaped, blew it and got on the wrong truck.
@ciabelle That company would save so much money if they didn’t keep sending things back and forth between the same locations. A couple of other folks are having that happen too.
Just looked at mine. Yesterday on its way back to IN from TX for the second time. Then late last night said, “USPS in possession of the item” location listed as my town (which is 700 or so miles south of IN, maybe used a teletransporter?). Then this morning it says, “Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS, USPS Awaiting Item”. Again the location is still listed as my town. Go figure.
Oh wait. It gets better. USPS sends an email of deliveries for the day. Yesterday the email said (just looked at it now) USPS had the package and would deliver it by 8pm yesterday. Today it says they have the package and it will be delivered tomorrow. The tracking information there is the same as clicking on the tracking number in orders on sidedeals.
Too late to edit. Clarification: On the email from USPS it shows the tracking info in that email without clicking on anything, which is identical to what is shown when clicking on the tracking number at side deals.
@Kidsandliz Damn. I Had a situation like that once before, where an item went from CA to IN to CA to IN to CA again. It arrived a month later, damaged and beat to hell and back.
@Bandrik Well we know the odds of it being drop kicked are higher with each stop and being tossed off the truck. Doesn’t help that they don’t even use Texas air anymore. Hopefully whatever is in there (and the several others of us whose are stuck on the merry-go-round) is already broken or unbreakable. Or if I am really lucky, new and in the original packaging (well that’s not to likely but one can always hope. Right?).
@Kidsandliz Yep pretty much. Though, based on what I’ve seen in the reveal thread, most of the stuff is pretty well protected, so as long as the box isn’t ripped open your stuff should be ok. Or, at least, not much worse off than when it left Meh, as some people have gotten known-defective items which is just part of the IRK way haha.
Mine arrived yesterday.
IRK BAG
Another random bag
Shiatsu neck massage collar (heat does not work)
Fitness sweat band
Some strange curling iron/brush combo
Well mine is lost. It says it was delivered to my zip code USPS on the 21st. On the 25th it said it was in transit to the next facility (still says that today, the 27th, facility un-named). So I went to the post office. They say it is not scanned into their system, they have no idea where it is. They checked the boxes in the back. Not there. Newgistics stopped their record once they scanned that they dropped it off at the post office. Apparently they didn’t drop it off. I did find out it weighs 23 pounds and 14 oz so something big is in there, or at least relatively heavy. Sigh. I reported is MIA to the post office (as instructed by the post office), attempted to contact Newgistics and all choices sent me to the same we are not going to help you find out where we lost it, get hold of the company that sent it to find that out. So I emailed sidedeal support. I sure hope someone can find it!
And amazingly it showed up today. Considering USPS and newgistics each said the other had it I got lucky. The tracking didn’t update though until it was delivered.
Mine had a very long and circuitous route with delays also. It was in Atlanta (I’m 30min away) for a few days before going NC for a few days and then back to Atl for a few more days before delivery. I was going nutty watching the tracking.
for those that got a JIT charger, you may want to test it. mine doesn’t seem to be taking a charge. the lights on the charge just keep blinking rapidly and never go solid.
Why would anything ever leave Texas?
/giphy Texas heresy
@f00l
there is no spoon
or is that there is no f00l?
/giphy fool
You can’t April Fool me!
@Cerridwyn
You’re onto me. Huh.
@f00l If they watch TV and see what else is out there
Does the stay at home order apply to IRKs also?
Mine also shipped out but interestingly it is going via USPS instead of the traditional SmartPost
@MrMikenIkes same here. Maybe it’s currently cheaper?
@MrMikenIkes mine as well. Maybe it will arrive faster without the tour of IN!!
@MrMikenIkes @tinamarie1974 @seeds
I don’t think it’s traditional USPS. It says it was transferred to a FDR facility. When I look it up, a bunch of newgistics stuff comes up. USPS also says it’s not in their hands yet.
@MrMikenIkes @RiotDemon @Seeds well shoot! I should have looked a bit more closely
Mine shipped also. Six days out if same shipping timetable on my last side deal order is applicable. Something to look forward to.
Me three! Err, four?
Same here!! Glad to have something to look forward to.
Same. Will disappear for 9 days somewhere in Indiana then boom… 7 updates at once and it’s left outside my house.
Delivery man said I wasn’t home. I said hello to him.
Woo hoo my shipped too. Along with the plastic bag sealer I bought. Waiting very impatiently till it comes. I wish they gave you more info about the delivery date, I have so many places to go right now.
@star2236 check the Newgistics tracking it’ll give an estimate date range for delivery.
tracking.newgistics.com
@star2236 holy crap we bought the same things.
@fuzzmanmatt
I really hope they work. It looks really cool.

In transit
Grapevine, TX
No notification but it is in Grapevine TX, in transit.
@duodec
check your spam filter?
you might not normally get email from SideDeal
@Cerridwyn
Nope, it finally came in today, so it was just slow being sent
@duodec
at least you know…
@duodec I haven’t gotten an email either (so if this email is slow it is even slower than yours) and mine has already gone from Grapevine to IL and is now on its way back to Grapevine.

Still hasn’t shipped, I think.
@therealjrn Looks like mine is still processing.
@sammydog01 @therealjrn
ya’ll are checking the sideal one, not the meh one right?
/giphy correct?
@Cerridwyn @therealjrn Yes
@Cerridwyn @therealjrn
@sammydog01 Maybe it is slower getting out of there because they are busy stuffing the box with things that didn’t sell the other day.
@Cerridwyn THEY SHIPPED IT!
They do love me after all.
No way to see weight anymore?
@patti even more regret!
Well cool. Mine has gone from Grapevine, TX, to Greenwood, IL , then back to Grapevine, TX and today is on its way back to Greenwood, IL. If I am lucky it will stay there, party for a while with the rest of the irks, and then move onward to my apt instead of doing a rinse and repeat.
Mine is stuck in Grapevine.
Never to leave Grapevine I suppose.
I hope it likes it there.
I’m thinking Grapevine is hoarding S.D. IRKS…
@daveinwarsh Mine is still on its way from Greenville to Grapevine for the SECOND time. Isn’t back yet in IN. I think Grapevine must be quarantining them and mine, trying to escaped, blew it and got on the wrong truck.
Hopefully mine will be here soon. Been sitting in Orlando since Saturday.
Mine has a scan for an hour and a 1/2 in the future yes it says its Eastern time but I subtracted 3 hours
So I know where it will be an hour and a 1/2 or so
Mine is currently in my state’s regional distribution center, so it’s getting close. Probably by Wed or Thur I’ll have my pile of junk.
Woo hoo. Commerce, CA a couple hours ago. Only 19 hrs and 23 minutes away.
Mines out for delivery!
First irk, and it’s out for delivery. I’m prepared to be regretful.
Mine appears to be bouncing back and forth between Spanish Springs, NV and Commerce, CA on its way to Portland, OR.
@ciabelle That company would save so much money if they didn’t keep sending things back and forth between the same locations. A couple of other folks are having that happen too.

@Bandrik Scenic route I guess is cheaper than the direct route.
It’s here!
Mine is enjoying NJ way too much, I think it’s being walked to New York, been in Jersey for the last 3 days.
Mine is still in Grapevine, TX. I guess it’s under a pile or stuck in a corner or something?
Mine arrived yesterday.
IRK BAG

@cobracat03 Might want to also post this on the reveal thread which can be found here:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/sidedeal-irk-has-arrived

@Kidsandliz What was in the 23 pound box?
@MrMikenIkes It is on the reveal thread. Trailer hand cart thing, charger, purse with charger, tooth brush heads, black bag.
Mine had a very long and circuitous route with delays also. It was in Atlanta (I’m 30min away) for a few days before going NC for a few days and then back to Atl for a few more days before delivery. I was going nutty watching the tracking.
for those that got a JIT charger, you may want to test it. mine doesn’t seem to be taking a charge. the lights on the charge just keep blinking rapidly and never go solid.
