Side Deal is a freaking I big rip off.
0Don’t be suckered in. The Instant regret bag is BS. They sent me a Cuisinart air frier/toaster/ oven, etc. It doesn’t work. It even says return on the box that has been taped over a million times. I emailed them and they said no returns on IRB but in the small print it says there are returns. Now I have a massive pos that I have to try and get rid of. Their response is, No returns, you are not guaranteed anything of value. Wow, what a deal, NOT. Should be illegal.

Aw…you must be new here.
@therealjrn They’ve been a member since April of 2023. Apparently ignorant though in getting the gist of an IRK.
@MrGoodGuy @therealjrn How did you figure that out? Their profile is disabled, unsurprisingly.
@MrGoodGuy @PooltoyWolf @therealjrn Maybe disabled after someone pointed out they were old enough to read the product description?
@brainmist @MrGoodGuy @therealjrn Something like that.
@PooltoyWolf EZ! I just hovered my mouse cursor over their username and the info pops up! (see pic)
@MrGoodGuy Oh, you have a mouse lol, I’m on Android!
@MrGoodGuy @PooltoyWolf People use their, their compuuterr to acess this site?
/giphy mind blown
@PooltoyWolf @therealjrn Yeah, I guess we’re the unacknowledged majority! Looks like 61% of us so far today.
@MrGoodGuy @PooltoyWolf At least I’m still not on a Windows phone, eh @narfcake?
@MrGoodGuy @PooltoyWolf You can connect a Bluetooth mouse to your phone pretty easily. Or use a USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect a wired mouse. They’re plug N play.
@dvermilion @MrGoodGuy Oh I know, it’s pretty neat actually!
@MrGoodGuy @PooltoyWolf @therealjrn For the time, Windows Phones were an absolute bargain – so long as one didn’t need or care for a native app. The OS was actually lighter on resources than Android was, and since they took the Apple approach to updates, folks weren’t beholden to the manufacturer’s schedule.
Alas, coming in late was their downfall; they were a very distant 3rd place. I switched over to Android when all support ended in 2019. In all, 7 years of supported OS, 4 unlocked phones, for about $200 total.
The heartbreak of illiteracy.
ALTHOUGH … maybe the lines about refunds should be removed from future listings? @troy?
@Kyeh the “refund” pertains to the discounts achieved via purchases on Meh
@troy Ohhhh. I think the OP also misunderstood that.
@Kyeh @troy perhaps it should be changed from returns to discounts.
@Kyeh
I agree, it’s super confusing.
I don’t even understand troy’s explanation.
I’ve had meh replace items that didn’t work but not through a IRK (I’ve never bought one of those).
@kittykat9180 @Kyeh @haydesigner the sale page covers the refund parameters and is consistent on the “refund” term. We never say “We’ll refund you if you don’t like what you get” – we say “You WILL regret this” and “Throw it in the trash”
@haydesigner @kittykat9180 @Kyeh @troy I didn’t know this refund mechanic existed—I might’ve regretted WAY more stuff if I had! Thanks!/F$@k you!
@dvermilion
I still don’t understand it but maybe it’s because I never bought an IRK (and never will).
@kittykat9180
/youtube the only way to win is not to play
@kittykat9180 you can buy the IRK out right at list price, let’s say $150…or you can bring that price down by also buying items from the Meh-rathon.
After the dust settles from the Meh-rathon the purchaser will be refunded a certain amount based on what was purchased in the ‘thon.
@Ignorant I see. Thanks for the explanation.
@pakopako So THAT’S where this image in my folder came from.
@kittykat9180 I used to get them back when they were $5, still got a bag full of crap from mehrathons during The Event—I’m a scavenger, so I use bits & pieces from various things pretty often. I’ve gotten a few straight-up useful items (they gave me the lid to one of those travel coolers and it included ratcheting tie-down straps I use to keep our artificial Christmas tree from bursting out of the box it lives in, I got a couple of 8000mAh Mophie powerbanks, some nice thick curtains I used as a tablecloth for Thanksgiving, etc.), but most of it was what you’d expect—instant regret! ヾ(`ヘ´)ﾉﾞ
It still baffles me that people get mad about this. Do we sometimes get super cool unicorns? Absolutely yes. Is it often? Negative!
It’s literally in the name. Instant Regret Kit. Expect broken shite, expired food and a whole host of regret. Sometimes you’ll be surprised. Most times, not so much. The only refund that will come to you will be if there’s a weird pricing gimmick which seems to be the norm these days.
@sillyheathen I once got a super cool inflatable unicorn!
I almost wonder if someone is being satirical.
Bad luck. They sent me a brand new Cuisinart air frier/toaster/oven and I don’t even need it. I think I’m just going to throw it away. The cats like the box though.
@Skipbidder
@Skipbidder At least, there’s someone with a sense of humor.
@Skipbidder @narfcake This week’s New Yorker cover:
@Kyeh @narfcake @Skipbidder the subtle capturing of the Amazon branded box, too
@Kyeh @narfcake @Skipbidder
So there was no regret, or it just wasn’t instant?
Someone complaining about regret derived from an Instant Regret Kit? You gotta be kidding me here!
Just curious…Is it mean to point & laugh at this person?!? (Primarily because I caught myself laughing & pointing…)
@tohar1 you’re going about it in the wrong order!
How Do you cancel your shipping membership?
@Kendradawn82 Well, you don’t have the little heart symbol by your name, so you don’t currently have the shipping membership.
But if you did, and wanted to, you’d go here:
https://meh.com/membership/cancel
You’re very lucky—those are easy to fix, which means it’s 10x less regretful than I’ve been every time. I envy you.
@dvermilion i don’t know it’s very weird because I got charged for it and I got an email confirming that I was a member but now it says I’m not and I didn’t cancel it.
@dvermilion @Kendradawn82 It’s a new month so it would have ended the end of Sept if you didn’t have it set up to automatically renew (presuming you can do that - I don’t have that.
