Re: Qurate Results 4th Quarter/Full Year

As for letting hosts go, I believe in the old adage "fish rots from the head down." The CEO needs to find a new job!

Re: Qurate Results 4th Quarter/Full Year

Any retail company the size of Qurate is going to have issues competing against A****n, especially the shipping side of the business. IMO shipping is where Qurate falls short big time especially at Q. I rarely watch live shows, mostly get the information I want from watching a product video.

Re: Qurate Results 4th Quarter/Full Year

It's the "in processing" and the slow delivery and very slow refunds. When I return something to the big A thru Kohls as soon as it's scanned and on its way I get the refund in a day. And it's free returns.   It's a good 2 weeks before the refunds start from here and maybe a couple days to receive it on my account. My last 3refunds I had to contact the social team and they solve it very fast. That's the one dept  that really gets the job done !

Re: Qurate Results 4th Quarter/Full Year

In its new 10-K filing with the SEC Qurate states that as part of its turnaround plan (Project Athens), it will soon implement a loyalty program for QxH customers. 

 

This has been suggested frequently here, so I continue to believe that management reads and surveys the forums for customer suggestions, ideas and comments.

Re: Qurate Results 4th Quarter/Full Year

No surprise Qurate is doing poorly. Have been for some time.

 

I think they spelled the reasons why, wrong in their report though. Let me correct their spelling for them--

Annoying hosts and their immature antics.  High prices for poor quality goods.  Shipping and return problems that have gone unfixed for years. IT problems. Not listening to their customers. 

There. I fixed their spelling.
