VMP shirt

@Bogie I decided I was too scared to look up my order number of comedic-clean-centipede. shudders

@PurplePawprints Now you know why I keep a trove of beautiful images; the Malevolent Order Name Generator and Google Images will team up to give you nightmares if you don't preempt them.

@MrMark I don't think it was supposed to be a secret. How else will they entice people to become vmp if they don't know about the occasional perks beyond shipping? Also, glad I helped! :-)

@MrMark went to my spam too

@MrMark I also received it as spam. I see a pattern emerging.

@conandlibrarian got mine at 0849 PST. are you sure you're VMP? when i hover over your 'K', it doesn't say VMP.

@conandlibrarian I got mine at the same time @Carl669 did. Maybe check your spam folder.

@carl669 I just tried to purchase today's deal and it says I am not. I do not know why, I just made a purchase last week. I wrote in to support, I do not want to miss this, but I have a feeling I will. I have always been VMP, this is just weird. Conan is a saaad panda right now.

@conandlibrarian Did you pay for shipping on your last order? Did your CC you use to auto-renew expire and end up dropping your VMP status?

@hollboll - can you check on what happened to @conandlibrarian's VMP? He wrote in, but doesn't want to miss the super secret squirrel sale.

@lichme I was thinking all those questions as well. I did not pay shipping last order and the card is only about four months old. I am so confused.

@Thumperchick Thanks!

@Thumperchick on it as we type!

@conandlibrarian I see you have your K back! Welcome home.

@lichme I am sad :( Lost my CC and just got a new one but not in time to pay my VMP. I was also sad for not didn't even get socks last time because I keep losing my effing card.

@looseneck I am sending you an email. Soon.

@cinoclav Now THAT is one awesome order name. I got motorized-difficult-mouth, which irritated the @#$%& out of me, so I say it's

@OldCatLady Luckily, I got skinny-measly-chameleon

@ACraigL Dayum.

@CrossIT

@CrossIT Let's say you didn't plan on buying something in December, despite not knowing what would be sold. You were contemplating the unthinkable: cancelling VMP so you could keep your $5. Then, BOOM, you snag a $6 deal on an AA shirt and your VMP status is secure for another month.

@christinewas Another month of knives, speaker docks, refurb coffee machines, and the occasional quadcopter (which looks like is reaching saturation)? Meh. Definitely gonna cancel my VMP, and you should too ;)

@einrad exactly. I was like "I don't need that shirt. Oh, $1? Suuuuure, why not!"

@einrad I'm a wavy, lovely tinker :)

@tinkertime As much as I love wavy lovely tinkers, I hope you won't show up in a box at my house ;)

@tinkertime I owe you the first google image search hit:

@einrad I have to say, if that would happen, call the police because meh kidnapped me!!

@404Error I have borrowed that image to post on FB. I'm in a group which has rats who keep reporting 'offensive' posts, so we'll see if I get put in FB jail over this piece of art.

@cmdrvaughn Is is possible that your credit card/payment information changed somehow? If not, write in to meh.com/support to see what happened.
In the meantime, you can re-up your VMP at mediocre.com/VMP so you can snag your shirt.

@Thumperchick Thanks - I sent my email in blind rage, which will undoubtedly prioritize it.... I re-upped, but will I need to wait for an email re: the shirt or is there some sort of double-secret backdoor?

@cmdrvaughn Shhhh

@Thumperchick Thank you Thank you Thank you. I will write all your thank you notes for you!

Worth repeating.

@KDemo Per your request in the Mediocre forum... :-)

Have yourself a mediocre Christmas
With a VMP
From now on your purchases will ship for free

Have yourself a mediocre Christmas
Make the Yuletide meh
Snag a fukubukuro just now and then

Here we are on the internet
Buying cheap headsets and more
Finding deals that appeal to us
It's a steal to us, therefore...

We'll be there at every midnight eastern
This we do avow
We'll keep buying all the speaker docks allowed
To have ourselves a mediocre Christmas now

@parodymandotcom - still brilliant.
@matthew, could Irk record this? Deserves recognition.

@KDemo Or maybe the staff can go caroling.

@parodymandotcom - Sure, it's probably required in Carrollton.

@Teripie

@Teripie Even without being a VMP you can order the shirt! Plus its only $2 for shipping if non-VMP:
https://mediocre.com/deals/stealth-vmp-shirt-available-exclusively-to-vmp-members

@Teripie to re-up without ordering (if you're into that sort of thing...) mediocre.com/VMP

@Teripie It's probably @taRDy 's fault.

@ceagee @Teripie Sorry I'm late. Yes this was my fault. Just umm continue being awesome.

@eulestadt

@eulestadt I was curious and decided to test this with my husband's account that I recently canceled vmp on. It lets you get to the order page, but thankfully, the order won't go through.

@eulestadt Bernie Sanders would approve

@cattylaq One of my local thrift stores bags up the unsold t-shirts to sell as rag bags for $3. I'm super cheap, though, so I only pick them up when they're half price, making the shirts about 7-10 cents each.

Never mind, followed the link and got one for the member price. movable-misunderstood-oil

@PurplePawprints Maybe that's what makes it stealth.

@jqubed Credit card on file expire?

I guess my credit card info had expired. faceted-omnivorous-hook

@Pavlov What's weird is my forum benefits were still working.

@jqubed

What's weird is my forum benefits were still working.

Dunno - @katylava or @shawn would know why - maybe cookies or database update lag in removing all credentials . . .

@jqubed this is just weird now. A bunch of regulars whose VMP was canceled? That seems odd. Unless all of your cc's expired in the last few weeks. It's odd.

@Thumperchick There was a "predetermined" mass expiration of cards (by Visa and MC) in the marketplace coincident with the issuance of the new EMV cards . . . we noticed on one of our sites a 42% expiry rate of all cards contained within the billing system over the last three months.

@Pavlov That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the info.

@jqubed @Pavlov as someone (a cheap Scot) who turns off VMP when a month of coverage ends and leaves it off until the next time I buy something (unfortunately means VMP is on most of the year) ...

Your legacy forum settings survive VMP turning off. However your ability to edit them does not. Actually kinda logical since I'd guess many/most folks who turn it off turn it back on eventually.

@RedOak Yeah, that actually does make sense.

@paulgraham The shirt was sold on mediocre, not meh, so go here:
https://mediocre.com/orders

@narfcake Thanks for the clarification.

@paulgraham Came here to ask the same thing. Just went to look, and it still says "processing". Can't really bitch over a $1 shirt but wow that's slow.

@tsfisch It is a special order (and cheap) from Mediocre. It will show up when it shows up.

@tsfisch These special offer shirts can take a couple of weeks to process and print before shipping. This is because meh/mediocre puts them up for sale, get the number of each size they need, send it to the print shop, who prints them, then sends them to meh/diocre, who then ships them to us.

@Thumperchick Well, yeah, that too.

@tsfisch I just got an email, they are starting to ship the shirts.

Cool thanks for the info. I'm not complaining, it's essentially a gift lol. I was just surprised that they were still not mailed yet.

@mehdaf No, it just sneaks into your wallet every night and removes five dollars.
