STOP OVERSELLING PRODUCTS, QVC

I am on Back order for two Linea clothing items. Annoying!

Keeping a good track of their inventory seems to be an increasing challenge for them. I've had more orders and wait list orders cancelled by them in the past year or so than in the entire rest of the years I've been shopping with them... It's unacceptable, particularly when it seems that so much of what they now sell doesn't seem to be from 'stock' at all. It seems there are very few items for which QVC now chooses to maintain an inventory. So much is advance orders and items shipping directly from the manufacturer. This is not the finely tuned engine it once was in so many ways.

If it has to be back ordered, or is an advanced purchase I hardly ever indulge them. I understand their reason for doing advanced purchases because it helps with inventory control, but if I have to wait a couple of months, I'll just skip it.

Don't have enough product to fill the recent Perricone TSV. STOP STOP STOP doing this.

Never remember this in years past. If you are not going to honor your orders, then DON'T SELL IT.

You should have posted this in the QVC Suggestion Box section.

Yes, to everything you said, but the Q is likely to stay in my blood until...

At one time I would've thought the same but I'm finding it easier and easier to walk away. I'll likely always pick up the occasional thing here, after all, it's still an option and my goal is to maximize options not minimize them (unlike the Q, apparently...) but as it becomes less of a resource I see myself become a far less frequent shopper with them.
