Lisa's grape clusters

Kitty Galore — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 15:08:42 GMT

Got them yesterday and they are cheap looking, not worth the money at all besides that every time I pick one up grapes fall off !!! Soon they will be bare! Sending back !!! Can pick them up at any craft store and cheaper . Sorry Lisa these are duds .

Hi Kitty Galore, Oh my! Sorry to hear those grapes are such poor quality! I would definitely send them back. I agree...you should be able to find something comparable at your local craft stores and better quality too! Thanks for the HU

I wish the Q would step it up with QC!

Yep. Nothing special about these. Something you can replicate almost anywhere for less.

Do you mean her metallic grape picks (H203471)? You should write a review to counter the only existing review, which is five-star. I just watched the video. Lisa said you are literally just going to put them on the tree...

Kitty, sorry to hear this. When Lisa was putting the grapes on the present near the tree during her show, I saw one of the grapes fell off. I then decided not to order them because of that.

I've scrolled past this thread several times over the last couple of days & every time I do, I get a mental picture of Lisa wearing grape clusters in strategic places. Sort of like what we see in some artwork. Sorry, but it makes me giggle every time

These grape clusters are pretty, albeit the cheapest made product I've purchased from QVC or anywhere else. These aren't even worth a dollar each. If you look at the thin straight plastic stem the grape is on, you know why it falls off, nothing to hold it on. Remember, these are not the same grapes that Lisa has used for seven years, just a cheap copy of them. I bought two sets, what a pain sending back.

Kitty and Lucy,

Sorry your grape clusters weren't at all what you thought they were or that they weren't what they should be. You would think that they would know they would get them all back if they are so cheaply made so they are going to cost the Q a bundle just like the sleighs are.

Hope you find some out in the B&M stores.

Hey JPC, how are you? Yes, the grape clusters are really badly constructed. They are pretty but for the price the quality is terrible. I'm starting to reconsider purchases from QVC because lately there's too much returning stuff.

I'm with lucymo ~ I am also reconsidering purchasing any decorative items from the Q as I have also noticed the lack of quality. I have also noticed lots of items presented on shows such as Valerie's and Lisa's Christmas shows now being sold at our local HomeGoods. I was just there today and saw the exact same woodland wreath Lisa presented recently in one of her shows. I bought (and love) the wreath from QVC, although would have returned it in a minute if it was offered a lot less at HomeGoods. HomeGoods was selling it for $29.99, so after paying the return label fee it doesn't make sense to send it back. From now on when I see something I like I'll take a look locally before I decide to order, pay shipping, and possibly pay to send it back if it turns out to be junk. Sorry so many of you received such poorly made items ~ hopefully you'll find what you're looking for but even better!

Home Goods does have nice, inexpensive home decor - quite similar to items on QVC's home shows. I'd consider it a reasonable alternative if I bought a lot of such things.

Don't have a Home Goods close by, do think 1 just opened in my state by note close to me. Wish we did have one though.

Same here, lol.. The thread title sounds like a euphemism for what might be discussed during a Breezies hour.

Hi lucy,

I am doing better now, my back went out last weekend so have been taking care of it. Went to chiropractor on Tuesday and he said it would be sore for a few days but to keep ice on it. It is feeling pretty good today. Boy, it is always something, isn't it.???

I too am being pickier on what I get from the Q. It is sure hit and miss here with things. Too bad too because it sure looks good on TV.

Have a good weekend lucy.

So sorry to hear about the grape clusters, I was waiting to hear reviews as I wanted to order, guess I won't now.

JPC, so sorry that you're having back problems. That really pretty much puts a person out of everything. Hopefully, you'll be better soon. Take care and try to enjoy your weekend. I'm sure Mr Crazy is taking good care of you.

Hi Ima, these grape clusters are really pretty but they just aren't made well. I thought of taking off each grape and glueing them on, but too much work for the money spent. I got two sets and with S&H it was over $50.00 so I'm returning them. Too bad, they could have been really pretty on the tree, garland, shelf and so many places.

After all these negative reviews, she may need to sell them that way in the future in order to create some interest.
