QVC Deception

Kachina624 — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:12:55 GMT

I got my morning glory hanging basket just minutes ago, and what a shock! We've been snookered. This thing is much smaller than last year's basket, so small it would look pathetic hanging in most places alone. It has few shriveled-looking blossoms which are also tiny, nothing like the pictures of it. Even the foilage is sparse. It's no wonder they kept showing the larger, more expensive version all day hoping, I'm sure, people would think that's what they were getting if they ordered the TSV. This looks like one of those Facebook scams where they show something gorgeous and you receive krap. It will be going right back to QVC. Certainly not worth close to $60.

@Kachina624 Did you order the 2 small ones or 1 larger one?

@Kachina624 I have been tempted to purchase the fake hanging baskets from other places but I don't because I was always afraid they would be scrawny, despite advertised pictures. We have a place here where I live that has all kinds of country style furniture and decor. It's not my thing, but sometimes they carry the fake flower baskets. I checked last week and they had a stunning floor basket, it was huge and full with hydrangea, red geraniums, purple pansies, yellow forsythia and greenery and it looked so real. I wanted it so badly so I could quit babysitting flowers but I could not justify the 400$ price tag. It was a stunner!

@mspatmac No, it was the larger single TSV. I can't imagine this could be made much smaller. I was so looking forward to it.

Sorry you're disappointed @Kachina624. I almost ordered the TSV but really wanted the larger size, had to pass on it because of the price.

Small and sparse - sounds like a couple things I received from Valerie few years back. It was a joke..........

Q's other trick with food - HD camera up real close but the burger (example) doesn't weigh in as the same item you ordered.

Check out website for Nearly Natural - mostly green plants but they have a few flowering items and hanging baskets,, they are lush and full. Colors fab too. $80 range but can use year after year.

@Kachina624 so sorry, it's a real bummer when looking forward to something and it's such a big disappointment especially for the price.

It says its 14 by 32. But that's with the foliage extended fully wide and it's from the tip of the hanger to the bottom of the hanging foliage. I was reading the reviews yesterday and it has a lot of one stars for that reason.

It's looks nice on my patio, so I will keep it but will not order this brand again.

@CoffeeNut Plants are usually measured by the diameter of the pot, not by the length of the longest trailing foilage. This was deliberate deception.

Lots of new one-stars today.

I looked at them but recently the baskets just haven't measured up to the older Bethlehem lights ones. And the prices are too high. I still have beautiful white geraniums that I hang from my stairwell and they light up.
Recently I've purchased the baskets or save them and buy flowers on sale at Michael's half off or more. I have azaleas outside now. I didn't see the baskets today at Michael's. Glad I have ones from last year.

@1Snickers I've got some tattered BL baskets. I though I'd just get some flowers and make my own.

@Kachina624, Sorry for your experience. It is hurtful to you, and this practice is hurtful to QVC. $60 for that? Really?

GLAD I READ YOUR POST. I PUT ONE ON CHECK JUST TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE REVIEWS WOULD BE. I'M GOING TO CANCEL IT.

Oh No, mine is supposed to be delivered today, I'm trying to brace myself after reading these reviews. I recently returned a mother bunny holding two babies, that looked very little like the pictures, there seems to be a pattern developing to sell things that seem so much nicer on air that what you get. I used to trust QVC, but am starting to lose faith, guess I'd better stick to brick and mortar stores, so I will know what I'm buying.

Bummer ,

I was going to use these in an urn as the deer eat real flowers .

I had planned to fill the urn pots with other silk flowers from Hobby Lobby to add to the display , however was counting on the 14" width of the pot .

I'll decide when they arrive as to if I will keep or return.

@bmorechick

Those flowers could have been the "real touch" type which are actually laytex. Real Touch are over the top in cost but always look amazing.

@skatting44 Somebody measured it and said the basket is 8". I've never seen a hanging basket that small. I was so angry I went online and cancelled a Roberta's order....we usually get gyped on them too. I figured it too would not be what its claimed to be.

I compared it to last year's TSV and its significantly smaller.

@PamfromCT This certainly seems to have affected QVC's credibility with many people, including me.

Just received the faux plants this evening. The coir pot measures 8 inches . This is unacceptable as they advertised 14" . I ordered the yellow morning glory TSV.

These faux plants are not as expected. I have never seen anywhere that they measure the faux flower length rather than the faux pot . These are not worth $49 plus shipping . They have very few flowers on them . I will buy locally from Hobby Lobby or Michaels .

Back these will go as falsely advertised.
