She recently ordered a computer from QVC with a free tablet. The tablet showed up, the computer never did. It supposedly got lost somewhere in the shipping process. That's the bad part. The ugly part is this is what I read about on here all the time. The good part? QVC finally said the computer was lost, refunded her money, and told her to keep the tablet for her trouble. </P> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 20:20:51 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229476#M16534 depglass 2014-09-07T20:20:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229481#M16535 <P>Said here ad-nauseum that a computer should be bought without a 3rd party being involved. Have been here and read way to many similar stories. Then there is the "Catch-22" runaround that many experience.</P> <P>Dell(or whatever manufacturer)says to contact QVC and QVC says?? Call Dell, it's their problem.</P> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 20:46:28 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229481#M16535 hckynut 2014-09-07T20:46:28Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229486#M16536 <P>It's hard to imagine a good part. Most of the people who come here saying they buy over-priced and under-featured computers from a shopping network say they do so for the ezpay. The fact of the matter is - any manufacturer I know of will give you interest-free payments at a minimum of 6 and sometimes it's 12 or 18 months.</P> <P>There are just so many reasons NOT to buy a computer here that I just don't get it. If it weren't bad enough that you are over-paying for, often, rather old (in the case of this one REALLY old) technology and a lot of stuff of no value to which they attach a value anyway, you have to wait forever and a day to even get it. If I were going to over pay for something (which I'm not), I would at least expect to receive it quickly.</P> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:03:03 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229486#M16536 chickenbutt 2014-09-07T21:03:03Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229492#M16537 <P>If the purchase/computer isn't needed immediately, why not save your money and pay cash? </P> Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:10:53 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229492#M16537 glb613 2014-09-07T21:10:53Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/The-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-ordering-computers-from-QVC/m-p/1229497#M16538 How long does shipping take on Electronics?

You don't have to spend $1,000 to buy a great computer - and a "new" one for that matter.

Usually outdated or overpriced. Hubby gets things from Tiger Direct or New Egg. Mark up must be good for Q to push them. Used to be jewelry that brought in the profits.

I never had a problem with the units, delivery or tech support. The price was great.</P> <P>I once ordered (many, many years ago )a Gateway desktop from a Gateway Store and I had to drive 2 hours to get there. The unit was over $3000 and it was a lemon. I have never purchased anything from Gateway again. Their PC's and tech support let me down big time.</P> <P>I always purchase my Apple products directly from Apple.com and never had a problem with them either. They are always overpriced at QVC.</P> <P>I have owned two Lexmark printers purchased from QVC...never again, They are junk!

So then i bought an Acer since the repairs can be done locally. Bought extended warranty too. And now after about a year or so, no problems.
