Why are you such a liar, Meh?
41I had a very specific need for 30 random neoprene sleeves of varying sizes, and I THOUGHT you were going to fill that need perfectly. Little did I know that you would stab me in the back and send me not 30, but 35 sleeves! What am I supposed to do with five extra sleeves?
I have to imagine that I, like so many others, were counting on an exact number of random sleeves (of sizes we did not yet know) for very specific uses. How can we trust Meh.com with our orders moving forward if we have to wonder if maybe you'll be sending us extra Roombas or gasp! speaker docks when we order them?!?

This took a delightful twist.
@Thumperchick M. Night shyamalanadingdong would be pround
@Occasionally that last word had a suprise ending.
Of all the underhanded things a company could do, they had to do this. I am so sorry you had to experience five extra sleeves.
@peaceetc try 30 unwanted ones.
@unixrab Awww, come on! You deserve them!
@narfcake it gets worse... wife ACCEPTED THE BOX TODAY and daughter OPENED IT (?!%$*^(#$&() and then stole the 17" laptop sleeve. My whole day is ruined. @JonT sux
@unixrab (catches breath)
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
@unixrab That's such an interesting end to this saga! And remember what they say: The best laid plans of mice and men...
@narfcake I shared that just for you ;-)
@dashcloud There's neoprene all over my house. I'm going to hang on to these for when (no at symbol) JonT least expects it....
@unixrab why is that man mad at Lt Barclay?
@unixrab Oh, I will be. When they get here. Eventually.
@unixrab You did not buy any but were sent a bunch? Humph… keep it up and they might even send you a fuku LOL
@unixrab I should say that I actually paid for mine, and I still don't want 'em.
@Kidsandliz Nah - he buys the Fukus. OTOH, meh has speaker docks ... lots and lots of speaker docks. What do you say, @jont?
@narfcake stahhhhp. forrealz
@unixrab
@unixrab Your daughter knows good stuff when she sees it.
@unixrab YESSSSS, sweet sweet victory. And don't try any funny business by not tagging me, I'm on to you!
@JonT
humoring you ...but "ok"
@Thumperchick see above ... and ... well
You think this is bad... when @JonT said he was gonna send me a free speaker dock for saying the secret word of the day, I check my order screen and was horrified to see that I am actually getting sent TWO speaker docks... Lesson learned. I am NEVER saying the secret word on Two-for-Tuesday again. Meh, just keep your word. That's all we ask. I don't understand how you expect to keep any customers.
@phatmass I feel your pain. Maybe we should start a therapy group for those of us who have had to endure the pain of getting too many things.
I wonder if Sally Struthers is available to perhaps film a sad commercial for those of us affected by this horrible injustice. If Hollywood won't speak up for us...who will?
@amerifolklegend They sent me 4 extra helicopters then refused to let me pay for them.
@Teripie And the abuse continues. I hope this gives others the courage to come forward.
@phatmass I was sent an extra Meh apron and they wouldn't let me pay for it. I'm emotionally damaged for life.
@phatmass I was sent the missing fuku red bag along with an unordered broken, but new looking, stadium chair. Think of all the wasted postage they paid. :)
I like purple.
@phatmass I got sent extra crappy tools...
@hippiechik ok, I can't handle this anymore. Getting way too depressing. I'm gonna go watch Happy Gilmore and come back later. How long has Meh been letting stuff like this happen? It's repulsive and dishonest service.
@phatmass how did they hear you saying the secret word? #conspiracy theory #bigmehther
@hippiechik if you don't want them I need tools. When I moved my toolbox was stolen off the truck.
I've had the opposite, equally dishonest experience: they've sent me everything I ordered, in reasonable time, in the right quantity. Even when I had to contact customer service about something, they were incredibly helpful. I was promised a mediocre experience, and to be honest Meh, you're not cutting it.
@dis_member I'm guessing you didn't order the Toccs headphones then... they're thoroughly mediocre in every way.
@dis_member Same here!
@johnamo Bluetooths modo has been open.
@thismyusername Now is radio modo. (radio ruptures eardrums)
LMAO!!!!
I just posted in the other thread about the cases I was shorted 1 from my 30!!!!
@lcastil1 Oh, the horror. I would write to the Mehter Mehiness Meheau, about this one.
@lcastil1 We're sorry for the inconvenience. You'll be receiving a replacement soon....just wait and see how we fix it....
@lcastil1 Same here- I got 29 of my 30. And not a single one that fits any device I own. Pfft.
You got my 5 missing sleeves! Hand them over!
@Teripie I'm pretty sure they're my 5 missing ones. I only got 25 too.
Some of us didn't get any sleeves even though we didn't order any. Will anyone out there think of our needs?
@paulgraham Well we did for the moment it took to read your comment. I hope you're satisfied.
@joelmw I believe that I am, good sir.
@paulgraham I even went through the trouble to purposefully not click meh. Like I was going to click it but then said "Meh!" and didn't click it. Won't somebody think about me? click
Here's where I confess that I didn't and probably won't ever count the number of sleeves I received. Some are so ugly that they are worthless to me and everyone I love--yes, everyone I love--but some are awesome and totally worth my $8. I kinda think counting would ruin the experience.
30 is more than several and so involves active actual counting. And basically we're taking out meh's trash. It just seems wrong to count items in the trash. Unless that's your thing. Then go you. I'm all for validating the weird shit people do.
@joelmw Well since you're getting the blame for all of the other miscounted orders, why bother counting your own?
@MsELizardBeth Exactly. And, in fact, I'm proving that the actual number is more or less irrelevant. I received something like the idea of 30 cases that were sort of random (not very random at all, in fact, but a little random). That feels to me better than a quantifiable exact 30 that are actually random. Which that's kind of a paradox, isn't it? Like, precisely random. Yes, I like that too.
@joelmw umm no you are not taking out their trash, you are PAYING to take out their trash,. Very clever ruse of them, don't you think?
@joelmw It would completely drive me crazy not to know the exact number. Especially now that I know that the number I ordered is only a rough estimate. (Not that I'm complaining because now it's even more like playing the lottery.)
@Kidsandliz Well, yes, obviously that. But worth saying, so thanks. :-)
@christinerenee I'm opposing kinds of crazy. Actually I tend to obsessive and the counting kind, but, as I've mentioned elsewhere, my tendency to count started freaking me out, so I've trained myself to mostly not do it. There were always frustrating distractions and obstacles and too many things that don't quite resolve when you start counting them. Yes, it sort of drives me crazy to not know, but I think it would drive me crazier to know and for it to not quite make sense.
I was telling our warehouse it wasn't hard to count to 30 at all. Just count to 1 thirty times and then stop.
@snapster This explains quite a bit about how meh "works." Quite a bit that we already knew, but still.
@snapster Thirty one times?
@snapster Why do I have a feeling they counted to 1:30 and stopped?
@snapster How are they going to get past 20 or did you issues them 2 extra baby arms?
@Kidsandliz I can get to 21 on a good day
@Sarahsda polydactyl cat foot?
@Kidsandliz Nothing that exciting.
@dave ooh pretty! I hope mine are florally like that. This is more suspenseful than a fuku
@dave Awesome twitter username!!! wow!
@dave oh i hope i get a bunch of poppies!
@Pamtha Please, please, please NO! I don't want any, in the first place, but flowery ones are even worse.
@dave - i tried, but it sold out, and I really could use some of these cases. I could take some of the extras from anyone burdened with them. I'll pay shipping via paypal for a few tablet sized, phone/camera sized... somebody? With flowery ones, I could be assured they'd be MINE and my house full of boys won't touch em.
@dave Are you Matt's brother or son or other relative?
@cengland0 23andme says we're brothers.
I just counted mine and only came up with 29, what's the deal Meh? You think i won't raise hell over this? Well you're right.
@axleman1011 i can send you one of the 9 extras that they sent me. However we don't have a vmp agreement, so shipping will cost $5
@rlesueur i think i'll manage, i'm sure my fuku will more then make up for it.
@rlesueur i tried, but it sold out, and I really could use some of these cases. I could take some of these extras from anyone burdened with them. I'll gladly pay shipping via paypal for a few tablet sized, phone/camera sized, and maybe a laptop size. please oh please somebody? However, my Meh experience has truly been meh so far, so I have been thoroughly mehtified.
And what's with that Meh shirt I ordered? That only came with 2 sleeves. I expected at least 20. Where exactly am I expected to put my armies?!?!
@ACraigL Up your sleeve?
@Kidsandliz sleevies!
@ACraigL Send it to me and I will be happy to make 18 more sleeves, for you. They might look like nothing more than holes, but these will be quality holes.
@Thumperchick My daughter was in a production of Mulan a few years ago, This joke is one we reuse often. Thanks for picking up on it TC!
I'm not complaining, but on the basis of what I got in my sleevepouri Built bet heavily on polka-dots. I don't hold Meh accountable on this one. This one.
Oh, I can only hope I will be visited with such glory. 90, Meh? You can send me 100! You can send me 120! Oh, you can, yes you can. glazed scary look
you think that sucks, me and my brother live together. guess who got his 30 pack yesturday , while none of the 90 i ordered arrived.
@upbeatanime I vote you steal his good ones, then replace them with your crappy ones, when they arrive. He will never notice.
Still waiting! Fedex sez I won't get mine until the 26th.. Meh seems to be doing their thing in my case. Don't really give a shit as I'm willing to wait till the cows come home.

I only got 25 of the 30 I ordered. If only I had 22 Kindles of any type, I could actually use some of these. Maybe if they send me 5 more they will be for devices iActually have. I'm thinking of repurposing these as throw pillows.
@musmis. there's 4 nekked kindles in this house, begging for some neoprene. I missed out on that meh.
Mine still say label created so I hope they just throw all the leftovers in a box and give them all to me. I love massive amounts of things.
@ABitterWoman Sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.
You guys just paid $8 for the privilege of disposing of someone's thrift store donation crap. Congrats.
Mine arrived today..... they are still in their box, when is someone from Meh going to come over and open it for me?
