@csclark272 woot was and I think still is based in Carrollton. I don’t know since they were sucked up by Amazon.
Carrollton is centralized, part of the DART public transportation system for employees to get to work if they don’t have cars and close enough to DFW airport and the hubs of the major shipping hubs.
@csclark272 I did offer back in the day to go pick up my own items from Meh for a non-delivery discount…but I wasn’t taken up on that offer…I’ve moved so its not an option anymore…but still…
@csclark272 We’re also local (NE in the metroplex). We get many of our orders remarkably fast. A couple of recent IRKs have shown up within two or three days of purchase (it’s likey the knew I was going to get one and were just waiting for confirmation). And the pandemic has generally seen quick delivery times for us. Of course we’ve also had some packages bounce back and forth between the USPS distribution center in South Dallas and other post offices (and not our local), for gods only know what reason. Otherwise though, once it hits the system, we generally have decent luck and short waits. You may note that some of the items spend a lot of time in internal processing (and I’m not complaining; it’s never been unbearable in our case).
@csclark272@sobranch It might be the postal person. And sometimes I think they make multiple passes through the 'hood. Mail will be dropped off in the mailbox then later that evening, I’ll get a text that a package delivered by usps is on the porch.
I actually had a return to Woot a number of years back, and decided to drop it off personally since I had some errands in the area. It was a lot more business-like and boring than you’d think. Dropped off my return, got a receipt, and was on my way in a few minutes.
It wasn’t from Meh even indirectly?
@Fodder650 well, they mostly sell useful stuff, so…
@ybmuG So not meh then. As I hit buy on a couple things.
No idea why Meh is in Carrollton, and me living just miles away has to wait weeks for a meh delivery. I get my packages from Wish faster than this.
@csclark272 I wish . . .
@csclark272 I used to live in Southlake so I feel your pain.

Best I can figure anyways.

@csclark272 must be your mail man. I’m also in DFW and I get them in 1-3 days.

@amehzinggrace @csclark272 Curbside pick up would be awesome. Are you listening Meh-bot?
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
Hey @snapster … better check the staff computer histories for eBay side hustles!
@chienfou Nah, they’re fine. This is meh, not MSI.

@chienfou @narfcake Right. Mehdiocre has SideDeal and MorningSave to sell their products at higher prices.
Nah - Can’t be meh. Already shipped, non-placeholder weight & dimensions.
I always get my orders fast. No problem there!
