Shipping

Is anyone else think that the shipping is getting slower or is it me? At times when I check order status it says in process for days at a time.

I do not watch "processing and shipping updates" I do not have the time.

From the time I place the order till it shows up on my doorstep has really not changed for me.

I think almost everyone will agree that shipping has slowed with the reduced shipping charges. There is nothing from QVC that I need immediately so I prefer the reduced rates. If I want it sooner, then I choose one of the expedited shipping options.

For me, here on Long Island, shipping is actually faster than it was in the past.

And with so much of what I buy lowered to $3/order, I like the charge better than in the past. I've saved $3 to $6 on almost every order I've made since the new policy went into effect.

I did make one return that cost $3 more than it would have in the past, but I'm so far ahead of where I was other years, that I'm pleased with the new shipping costs.

I'm planning a move to Florida in a few weeks - maybe my shipping time to there will be longer, but we'll have to wait to know that. I do know my cost there will be less because Florida's sales tax is less than NY's. QVC can't do much about that.

It varies. I had something ship from the east coast and to the Midwest in two days. I also had something on the same path take nine days, counting the weekend. I'm in no hurry, so it doesn't matter to me. I'm also seeing savings with the new rates too.

I ordered something last Saturday, It Cosmetics Brush Set and it didn't ship until yesterday and I don't know when I will get it.

However, I ordered a pair of Hagit earrings today, Wednesday, the keys...and it shipped already...and it will be here in 2 days. I guess I ordered to early to get the faster delivery. LOL! Oh...and the shipping location is further away in PA to CA.

I wouldn't go by the shipping status as QVC does not update it. Worthless, really.

QVC's shipping status is indeed worthless. I copy and paste the tracking numbers direct to the carrier's website. Also, the USPS number that starts with a 7 that QVC provides? It's not even the right number. What's the point?

I really haven't noticed a difference, but I believe there was some news report of slower movement within the systems of the carriers (particularly UPS). I really didn't pay much attention to it because I order nothing which would cause me to be annoyed if the item did not arrive quickly.

I agree that shipping is getting slower. In fact, there was an article in our paper today stating the same thing. I was in a hurry and did not take the time to read it. HSN used to be fast with their shipping but they have gotten much slower.

I don't just go by QVC information as I copy and paste the tracking no in UPS Tracking.

However, now I am going to eat my words because yesterday, UPS Tracking indicated that I will be getting both items today. Yes, today. I am getting the It Cosmetics Brush Set from QVC that I purchased last Saturday and the Hagit Earrings that I purchased two days prior on Wednesday with the $3.00 shipping each.

Now, let's compare the It Cosmetics Brushes that I bought directly from Jaime's site on the same day, Saturday. Yes, I didn't know which set to get so I got both and will figure out what to do as I will keep some and gift the rest to someone else. Anyway, this delivery is coming on Monday.

Let's compare something that I bought from HSN and I haven't purchased anything from HSN in a very long time. That took forever to ship out and when it did, it was sent UPS Sure Post which is the very, very cheapest way to ship anything out and is now changed to a day later to next Wednesday. That is taking 5 extra days.

QVC, isn't so bad afterall!

The faster shipping now is just for the Holidays - it will go back to snail shipping after the holidays.

Add 92 before the 7. That will give you the correct USPS tracking number.

QVC's processing time is way too long. I purchased a Swag Way on 12/12 knowing the shipping date would be 12/29 and a EDD of 1/5, which I was okay with. The item finally was marked shipped on 12/31, but when I go to UPS and input the tracking # all they have in their system is "billing info received", so the item really hasn't even shipped yet as of 1/3.

I also placed a few other orders.

Order placed 12/29 status shows shipped 12/31 UPS showing "billing info received" as of 1/3 still not actualy shipped.

Order placed 12/31 status still shows processing as of 1/3

Order placed 1/1 status shows shipped on 1/2 UPS showing "billing info received" as of 1/3 still not actually shipped.

I don't understand why something I purchased on 1/1 is already showing a status of shipped, but Item's I purchased before 1/1 is still showing processing. When you call customer service to find out the staus they have no information and just tell you what you already see on your account. Very useless customer service in my opinion.

Shipping time is ridiculous w/ QVC, IMO.

I wondered the same. Things I bought before others ship, seemingly, right after I click "submit", others take days. I've noticed when things ship from warehouses near me...hundreds of miles away...say in GA, TN, NC, or even VA it's here in a few days. But if it ships from PA it can sit at UPS for a week before moving. I could understand weather related issues, but there aren't any.
