I agree! It's the same every year. More variety woiild be nice. Not everyone is interesred in electronics. How about some jewelry? It's always a nice gift and lasts forever, unlike electronics that will break and be obsolete in no time.

And... if you're buying them here, they might already be obsolete... Not known for selling the latest and greatest...

As for the programming, no bonus points for even looking. Having been around the Q block I can tell you there's no way this leopard is ever going to change its spots... Repetiton and overkill is their claim to fame...

@stevieb I agree and they were going on and on about the i5 processor. I bought a computer 8 years ago with a intel i5 processor , so it is not the latest. I used to get good ideas, but not this year. The Jam ear buds. I bought 3 pair but that is about it. I did buy them last year, and I have to say they are a good buy and the sound is great.

I started shopping more from Amazon, Q needs to step up the shipping. Sitting in process for days is crazy when everyone else ships fast.

okay I take back my comment about the i5. This is a newer version of the i5.

Kind of a shame what's happened to the Q over the last 5 years. I have insomnia, so if you think the programming is bad during the day, you should see what's on after 2 in the morning. QVC is a billion dollar industry with probably tens of thousands of items to sell but it's the same rotation of maybe 25 to 40 items. I'm saving a fortune. It's so true also about the outdated electronics. Sad.

Just HORRIBLE..... everytime I click on I click off....Same for HSN. I can not imagine they are pulling in the first time buyers with such awful presentations.

Re: YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stevieb — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 18:20:33 GMT

@BalletBabe I was going to mention that there are various 'generations' of processors... Either way though, it seems historically accurate that they aren't always selling 'current' technology... I was looking at an Apple, but it appears they're selling the last operating system and not the current one... It's not a huge deal because it's a free upgrade but that really isn't the point... Add to all that the horror stories I've read about excessive wait times and problems with either them or the manufacturer 'standing behind' the products and it makes me shy away from major technology purchases.

@highmaintenancejan

And, yet, every year I wonder the same thing voiced by many in this thread.

With thousands of items available, why beat the same drum over and over for a handful of products?

It simply defies understanding.

Not a problem for me. I don't watch or buy.

@Witchy Woman Absolutely. It's the same array over and over and over again, year after year. I haven't watched for years because I'm simply not interested in their notion of 'gifting' and trying to watch this nonsense is beyond boring. How or why anyone can tune in to this drivel hour after hour, day after day, year after year is beyond me.

I totally agree that it is super boring, and I am not watching.

The only logical thing is that it is working for them. Hard for a lot of us to believe, but what else could it be?

Electronics don't interest me at all, and that seems to be half the programming. They must be selling it.

But they are sure losing my ever dwindling viewing.

@stevieb Oh I totally agree. Their Apple products are old and more expensive then other places. They throw in some junky accessories and act like it is a great deal. I have purchased laptops in the past, but I won't now. My last computer purchase was from Staples and I love it. I got a great buy on a ipad at Best Buy.

I think when Q started, people were not able to price compare. Today, it is not like that. If you know what you want, you can shop around.

I haven't watched in weeks. I am not interested in all the electronics overload.

But @hyacinth003 if you look at their financial reports, it isn't working for them all that well... and yet they keep on doing the same thing, apparently expecting different results... One can only surmise they're either contractually bound to this mess, they have too much inventory to let it sit or whatever they do sell is adequate to keep them satisfied. I do think they're losing viewers and customers, though. A once steady viewer, I haven't watched an entire QVC program in years. At one time I purchased a good bit here, including a number of Christmas gifts. This year has netted me one single gift from QVC and I don't see that pattern changing... I don't think I'm the only one who's probably about had it with their act... The programming is dismal, the 'special' values are too hard sell and not all that special, the hosts and many vendors are annoying and the customer incentives are completely invisible...

One of the hosts was comparing the Q to a competitor. He made a big deal about Easy Pay. He stressed that one could have the item home without fully having to pay for it and the competitor doesn't offer it. He also stressed no shipping but the truth is the Q rarely offers free shipping. What he didn't mention or couldn't is that the competitor ships a 100 times faster than QVC.

I had already made up my mind to shop local this year, but I might be tempted to buy myself something. The programs lately are disappointing and now they've started showing TSVs three days in advance...over and over again. The things they're showing as gifts aren't things I would give anyone as a gift. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old woman

@qbetzforreal Amazon is going to kill Q. They even offer easy pay on their higher priced products. That is my opinion. Also things move fast. Fast deliveries shipped fast. Things sitting in process for 4 days is unacceptable in my opinion.
