Horrible Mrs. Prindables Apples

joco728 — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 23:13:09 GMT

So disappointed! Just received my Mrs. Prindables Apples and they are the most pathetic looking apples I have ever seen. They are so tiny, were a mess in the box and it looks like I made them. There is no way I can give these to anyone for Christmas. I had ordered them in the past and they were beautiful. Going to call QVC and I hope they send me a return label because I am not paying for these or the return postage. So angry!

If they look so bad, maybe they'll ask you to send pictures.

@joco728

If you explain it as you describe to customer service, they will tell you to KEEP the apples, but yes, they will REFUND your amount you were charged back to your credit card.

@joco728 I've never ordered these nor do I purchase food items any longer but I have often wondered about these. Sorry you're having to go through this. Just give CS a call and they'll credit your account.

I'm sorry you had that awful experience. I'm sure customer service will make it right and give a full refund.

I always order Mrs. Prindables apples directly from their own website, not QVC. QVC sells things in such large quantities, their sets are useless for me.

My most recent order of Mrs. Prindables arrived just last week and was fantastic as usual! I prefer the Granny Smith Jumbo apples. Delicious!

Tried them abt 20 yrs ago and almost broke a tooth trying to bite through all the stuff on the apple . Spoil very quickly so need to be eaten soon after arrival

@joco728 - I'm sorry for your bad experience! We ordered two rounds this year instead of our usual one, and we received some of the best apples ever from Mrs P. Hopefully since you've ordered before, you know your mess is not the norm.

As others have noted, when you contact customer service and ask for a refund, they'll happily oblige—and you won't have to send back the apples because food is nonreturnable. Hope your day gets better soon...

Ordered them years ago. Needed a saw to get through the coating and the apples were not ripe. Thrown out immediately and have never ordered food from QVC again.

@joco728 Were they the green apples?

I noticed they recently sold two different sized apples. I always thought the larger were more impressive.

And I think it always help to take them out of the refrigerator for at least an hour prior to eating to come to room temperature so they cut (and bite into) more easily.

It's probably best to cut Prindables into slices rather eat them like candy apples.

I have ordered these off and on throughout the years and by far the best one was the very first apple offered back in the '90's. It was a huge apple and it was dipped, not coated, in milk, dark and white chocolate. Fantastic. Because QVC requires a successful item to then be available in huge quantities the quality then suffers to me a price point and that is what we have offered to us 25 years later. Sad!

I saw some offered last night that were purple...I think they've moved to the cheapest toppings. I ordered once, they were OK, nothing to write home about....

Agree with being careful about eating these things....definitely let them warm to room temp and cut them into slices. They are toothbreakers.

Here's an idea. Kraft caramels ( the little old fashioned square candies) are 2.00 a bag at my Walmart. Add a bag or a few of your favorite apples, buy a few candy bars you like, or the nuts or candy chips, crush them and make your own for a fraction of what they sell these for.

You can only make one if you just want one for desert.

QVC's food prices are ridiculous. I don't buy any longer. You can find 95% of what they offer in the store or on other vendors, or make it yourself. Then you know what's in it.

In my opinion, anyone who spend 75.00 for six servings of soup needs their head examined ( or 75.00 for two pies). Come on now.

Let's look in to the QVC Marketting Department meeting:

The head salesman says "Let's try this price for this 16" mail order pizza (!!!!) and see how many gulla-billies buy it...let's try....oh, lets say...89.99... and then have the three pajama clad hosts on the show excitedly bray that it's LESS than 90.00 for six slices of MAIL ORDER(!!!!!) pizza!!!...Free shipping of course!!!...

We'll sell thousands!!!!"

Everything they make is in small batches. Just delicious!

Yes...they were green apples

Re: Horrible Mrs. Prindables Apples

joco728 — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 02:47:29 GMT

They looked like a child decorated them. I had ordered them years ago and they were beautiful...and huge! You're right about pricing...last week they were selling a roast for $149.00...crazy!

I’ve ordered these a few times & they’ve always arrived perfect. Sorry you had a bad experience with them.

Agree with you 100% @joco728 . Mrs. P's apples are no longer what they once were. Ordered them frequently when they first were on the Q on sale. Their quality has gone down hill. Stopped ordering them years ago.
