Food Taking A Long Time To Ship

NickNack — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 22:48:31 GMT

I ordered potstickers on Dec. 28, and they still haven't shipped. I don't order from QVC that much, but this seems like a long time to take to ship them. Is this unusual? It seems like they should have shipped in a couple of days.

What was the estimated delivery date (EDD) when you ordered? If you aren't past that date, then you shouldn't be concerned. It isn't unusual for some of the food items to ship at a specified sometimes later date but the hosts usually will say that during the presentation or if ordered online there will be a statement about it.

I never order anything that I need by a specific time without looking at the EDD.

The EDD is January 8. I hadn't even noticed that, but almost two weeks is a really long time. I didn't order them when they were being presented, so the host didn't say anything about a ship date. I don't need them, but I'm out and would really like to have them.

I agree two weeks seems long but, especially with foods, due to manufacturing constraints, they aren't always going to have inventory on hand. That is one reason checking the EDD before finalizing an order is always a good idea.

Thanks Scotnovel, I'll remember that in the future. I still would have ordered them, but I would have been prepared to wait.

The vendor may have been closed for the holidays.

I ordered Mrs Prindables on December 17. I was going to give them as extra Christmas add on gifts, and use some for a party treat, but still not shipped. Not a big deal, I can give them out in January, but it's over two weeks. I though most of the food shipped in two days if there is "not" future dates to choose from.

Being a food item I would guess they wouldn't ship them until this week so they wouldn't be stuck some where due to the holidays

I wonder if the Mrs. Prindables delay is because of the caramel apple recall due to listeria. I know Mrs. Prindables haven't been recalled, but there have been so many posts here with people scared of them.

I had a similar problem with a Sweet Endings coconut cake that was to have shipped the wee of 12/8. It never got shipped until Tuesday of the following week…..and it took several e-mails to get that to happen. (Other than that, the cake was SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!! And worth every penny!).

Food ships quickly, but they don't ship late in the week, over the weekend, or during a holiday week where it would be held up.

The ETA of Jan 8 sounds about right. It will ship on Mon or Tues and you will get it Wed or Thurs (Jan 7 or 8). Dec 28 was just Sunday and this was another holiday week.

I'd be willing to bet THAT is why you got an ETA of Jan 8. They are really good about only shipping perishable food orders early in the week so that it doesn't have to sit somewhere over a weekend or a holiday. Since they usually give a Thursday as an ETA, this week wouldn't have worked since Thurs was a holiday.

Great cake, eh? I love coconut and this one was nice. I had it a while back. I ate cake every day. So bad! I had planned to freeze and vacuum seal some pieces so I'd have it for a while but - well, that never happened. *hanging head in shame*

I'm the OP. I got an e-mail today that my potstickers ordered Dec. 28 just shipped. I hope you get your wine soon.
