To all Very Mediocre Freeloaders
7Just a heads-up, anyone who got the free 2 months of VMP on 25/12 and doesn't want to renew, now (or tomorrow) is your chance to cancel before you get charged for the next month. You may be able to get away with doing it some time on Wednesday, but I have no idea what time of day they process subscriptions, so maybe not.

Thanks for the reminder. But, I'd feel kind of guilty doing that since they're sending me a free pair of socks.
@Kevin Our plan worked!
@MEHcus
I don't think this is exactly right. Per the VMP terms: "If you cancel your membership, we will fully refund your last monthly membership fee minus the standard cost of any services rendered within the period." So, 12/25-01/24: free; 01/25-02/24: free; 02/25: get charged. From that point until 03/24, this third month is refundable. Assuming you don't make use of it during the third-month period, in which case your refund will be offset by the shipping charges you would've paid.
@brhfl excellent observation.
Neener! Neener! My free VMP is good until March 22. But then I've been a regular subscriber since last October, and will remain one.
@Teripie mine is listed as March as well, with no renewed payment posted. Does this mean I'm getting a free month for helping unload all those neoprene sleeves?
@septag0n My VMP automatically paid up 2 days before the big Xmas give away. Thus my extra month.
Only do this if you don't care about things like cool free custom socks.
@JonT then sends nothing free for the next year
@dis_member
@JonT What about Meh/Mediocre making some bras & underwear for its loyal VMPs sometime in the near future?
I need a "Meh" or "Mediocre" emblazoned bra & undies to let my future suitors know what they're getting into.
@pepsiwine
@unixrab Just so they can manage their expectations accordingly.
C'mon, admit it - half the guys out there should be wearing "Meh/Mediocre" underwear, too.
@pepsiwine
This is kinda like those free coffee canisters and mugs my wife was always signing up and not bothering to tell me about until a couple hundred bucks wortha coffee later. So this is kinda payback. No really.
@cranky1950 I GOT YER GEVALIA CAFE RIGHT HERE WOMAN!
@givemeyoursoul I've got one of the containers with the fancy snap-shut lid- it's awesome for storing stuff.
@dashcloud Yeah I have a bunch of those unbranded.
I'm not a free VMP person but I've saved $ on shipping in the first month since discovering Meh.
I'm blaming @Barney in the waning days of her reign as Goat for hiding this awesome site from me.
@Mehrocco_Mole Baaaaaad Barney!
If you DARE bug out after we sacrificed our kids college tuition in order to satisfy your sorry ass, then..
I order at least one thing a month here so I'm fine
Meh needs to get back to its roots of cheap crap that stimulates that need to buy it. Impulse buys. You know, like the candy in the check out lane that you stare at and wish you could eat, but you know you can't 'cause you haven't been to the gym in 2 years, though you still pay $25/month for the membership. You can't cancel it because then that means you can't go to the gym at all. To justify it you refuse to purchase impulse candy so you don't gain to much weight but it also means you can't eat any of that tasty, tempting candy. mmmmmmmm peanut m&ms.
It's worth the $5 for the leverage whenever something I want comes up: "but the shipping is free."
And because this place is worth way more to me than the $10 I Kickstarted.
And you guys let me say "fuck" with only the slightest judgment (and that from fellow users and not you glorious motherfuckers on staff).
I'm very mediocre and proud of it.
. . . I'm mediocre enough . . .
