Why hasn't QVC done an Insta Pot, or did I just miss it?

depglass — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 15:24:16 GMT

Yet another friend has bought some sort of instant pot. These people are out of town, so I can't check them out in person. What do I need to buy? I count on QVC for the latest trends, and if they don't carry an item I figure there is some flaw with them.

Maybe Instant Pot does not want to sell on QVC. They must be selling enough on their own without giving a portion of their profit to QVC to sell it.

They offer them on Amazon plus have good Black Friday deals. If you want one I would wait until then.

Are you saying products have a flaw if they are not being sold on QVC??? That's crazy.

Sounds like you don't need to buy anything. Just because your friends bought one? There's other places to shop.

I think you missed the recent Instant Pot QVC TSV. It is a favorite in the kitchen...for me, a must have.

QVC sold the Instant Pot in March and it sold out very fast. Instant pot will come out with 2 new versions this year but more$$$.

@Nightowlz They had an Instant Pot on two Sunday's ago, it sold out during the presentation, I bought one put in on a check, then changed my mind and put in on my Visa, 3 days later,I was then informed that it went to Advance Order, I doubt I will get it now, do they not speak about putting it on a check that you have 7 days to get them their money, why do they offer check payment if they oversell and put on advance order or Waitlist, 4 of my items I ordered and put on check either went to Waitlist or Advance order when their was quantity available at the time I ordered, Beware if you choose to order and put on check, I think that is kind of underhanded business practice. My Instant pot went on Advance order stating 03/28/2018 but expected delivery is not until later in April and it still sits in Advance order status?

Instant Pot has been around for a few years, and Q just sold one recently

if you want to find out all about them check Amazon, they sell huge quantities and there will be reviews and questions

unless you are canning or making yogurt the 6qt is fine

@CareBears- ALL of the orders during that day it was on with David were advanced orders and won't ship until this month some time, so it wasn't because of your check status. Just letting you know. I did order mine, but don't really need it, so will see if it is "all that" and if I am willing to part with my pressure cookers, slow cookers, and rice cookers!

Also, it has been discussed many times that check order does not save an item for you until they get and cash your check. If they have a credit-card-in-hand shopper willing to spend the money right now, they will not hold your item in case you actually do send a check. So, if you really want something, either put it on a credit card or be willing to see it go to an advance order or waitlist. Many people never send their money in but just want to hold the item while they think about it, which is not fair to those who are willing to buy it now.

@depglass You sure missed it. They had one on Sunday, March 25. They were sold out in minutes. And even with S&H and tax, the price was lower than on Amazon.

I have one on advanced order, due to ship in mid-April. I need another kitchen appliance like a hole in the head, LOL, but I love my kitchen toys so I just had to order one. I can't wait to try it. I have the cookbook on advanced order as well.

@CareBears, the process for clearing a check is totally different than getting a payment from a credit or debit card. I've never paid attention that QVC accepted check payments and I'm surprised that they do it. I think any online company is going to process credit/debit card full payments first. JMO that easy pay comes in behind a full payment, and anything paid by check would be last. What company doesn't want to collect the full amount for their product in the shortest amount of time?

CareBears — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 01:31:36 GMT

@Lisa now in AZ I have heard Carolyn say, just put it on a check but make sure you send it in 7 days that will hold an item for you. Funny the morning I ordered it it was In Processing it was not until the next day that it went to Advance order, along with 3 other items I ordered that same day, in processing until the next they were on Waitlist or Advance order, pretty coincidental IMO! BTW, I canceled 3 of the items that went it Advance Order or Waitlist. And just yesterday QVC wrote me a letter, and apologized for overselling one of the items!

@jannabelle1 Then they should stop offering check payments.as a payment method!

I have one and what I've cooked in it did not impress me. I'm probably going to end up donating it because its just taking up counter space.

@CareBears, yes, many people have often speculated as to why there is still check purchase option. I used to use it a few times, but most often just called and put it on a card. There have also been several people who have posted about putting things on check hold just to make up their minds, I hope that if you do still want the pot that you will get your check in or put it on a card so you can have it. I also think they are doing more of the advance order thing so they see how many are sold and are not stuck with a bunch of inventory they can't seel. Good luck!

I guess I’m the only person in the world who hasn’t heard of an instapot! Is it like an air fryer or pressure cooker? I’ve also seen some kind of dumb (IMHO) thing to put raw eggs into & then boil them; all to prevent peeling???
We’ve been married nearly 38 years & I’m giving away things I don’t use anymore! DH won’t cook and, since the kids left we hardly ever cook. He has an entire different way of eating than I do. So we mostly fend for ourselves. I might make something on the w/e’s that we both like or if the kids are coming over.
Last thing I need is another contraption to find a place for in our already crowded little house!

@Lisa now in AZ I changed the payment 3 days later to put on my Visa, that is when into Advance order, when I had put it on a check it was in processing? i USED TO pay by check all the time, never had a problem, seems they themselves do not want people paying by check anymore, they should really look into getting rid of if they cannot commit product for people who elect to choose that payment method!

@Topaz Gem I have ordered one also, but the way I understood it, the cookbook is included with this one.
