QVC Gift Tote

Got a QVC gift tote in the mail today. It is a very thick, sturdy canvas tote. Thank you QVC.

Well, that's awesome, I wish I could get one in the mail too, how did you get it?

Regular mail - USPS. Definitely a surprise.

They really are being odd about sending these freebies out to select customers. The only thing I've ever gotten from QVC was two Enstrom's toffee squares a few months back. Hardly in the same category as some of the gifts being sent out.

It would be nice, if they'd address how they decide who gets what. It definitely has nothing to do with how long you've been a customer or how much you've spent. Otherwise, I should be getting everything!

There will clearly be posters who comment that they wouldn't want a QVC tote bag and they'd "throw it in the trash", but there are many more who'd like to know why they aren't receiving any free gifts.

BTW, @Ilovetea - enjoy your tote bag!

If I ever get anything from them in the mail I will post here as well. You and I

might be waiting an awful long time!

@Venezia When the mugs were sent out one of the Mods posted that they were sent out randomly. Looks like they just picked names or something.

Thank you and I agree on all counts as I never got the free mugs, cookbooks and other stuff people posted about. The only things I have gotten in the past were for two years on my birthday month I got a card with an easy pay code. I have been a customer for 25 years or more and have spent a lot. The bag is great quality and will use it inside the house and/or car., because of that, it doesn't bother me there is a Q on it.

@proudlyfromNJ- I get that they send these things out randomly, but I hope they mark someone's account, once a gift has been sent, so that the same customers don't get multiple gifts.

And random or not, they should make sure they get around to sending all of their customers something, if they're going to continue doing this. It's just my personal opinion, but I think they'd do better to give all their customers a simple $5 off a purchase. Some people would use it, some wouldn't, but at least everyone would have the same offer.

There are threads that some customers are getting cards with $5 or $10 off, but not everyone is getting that either.

Probably. Maybe more people will get the the totes this go around than the mugs as they are easier to ship.

@Venezia - I totally agree. I think it's great that some customers are getting credits and special gifts, but I would hope that eventually all customers get something. I'm a pretty regular shopper who hasn't received anything from the Q, and I'm not really feeling too left out, but it would certainly be nice to have a few extra dollars to spend or the surprise of a little treat in the mail.

@Venezia I have to agree! This last year has been very odd with QVC giving out gifts. I believe it's probably totally random, however it really would be nice if they gave out coupons to loyal customers!

I'm afraid to check and see how many thousands that I've spent here just this last year not to mention all of the time I've been shopping here over the years and the only thing I ever got was a Happy Thanksgiving card several weeks ago with all of the hosts' signatures.

Another gift I didn't get. I must be on their "naughty" list. I did get the post card offering me easy pay or some other silly offer. Maybe 2020 will be my year.

Re: QVC Gift Tote

homedecor1 — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 00:00:36 GMT

Well, didn't care about the other freebies but this is something I would use!!!

guess I'm on the "naughty" list still cuz I've never gotten a thing from Q ... yet my friend who hadn't shopped in years has been enjoying getting these nice little "gifts"!!!

Got a sturdy canvas grocery tote from Stop and Shop last summer in the mail. Also random because none of my friends got one and many of them spend far more than I do for groceries.

Close to the quality of an LLBean canvas, just not as large. That's okay - I couldn't carry a Bean tote filled with anything but Cheerios!

Mom2Dogs — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 00:07:23 GMT

Yes, the gift giving seems randomly odd.

Re: QVC Gift Tote

SunValley — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 00:26:53 GMT

If I remember correctly, the mugs were sent at random, so I assume the totes will be also. I wouldn't purchase branded Q items, but a sturdy tote for grocery shopping is always welcome. What I find odd is that they continue to do this without explanation despite the uproar and ill will created with the mugs. Do they not understand that customer appreciation efforts can backfire?
