Check the reviews first

poodleicious — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 18:36:36 GMT

I’m just wondering why QVC would offer products such as the TSV, beauty creme, when the reviews are so bad And during a time when so many of us are without jobs right now anyway. I know not everyone is unemployed like me but I was shocked at how bad this product reviewed and it’s still a TSV.???

@poodleicious They are awful! QVC is pushing the same products over and over again. How many hours of Josie Maran does one need to look at? If I were a betting person QVC is hoping to reach those that are first time viewers.

@poodleicious

This has happened many times BEFORE ----long before the pandemic hit.....if you see an item on clearance or a real deep cut in QVC price ALWAYS check the reviews.....

I made the mistake of ordering a D&C top, I usually check the reviews but didnt this time--great price on clearance....and I met with disaster.......the material in that top was so thin, cheap, and chintzy ----better stuff at Walmart...And when I went to post a review to warn others....sure nuff everyone had said the same thing....and I guess QVC counts on people not going through the trouble of returning it....

Are there reviews on it?

No interest in it but I don’t see reviews.

Good advice! I always check reviews on anything I buy on qvc unless it's a brand new item with no reviews. Then it's a gamble. I've been very fortunate & have had very few returns over the years.

Always read reviews first, that has saved me from buying so many items. When an item has more one star reviews then it does 5, red flag to stay far away from it!! And if it is a new product, wait for some reviews before buying.

Often there are no reviews, which I am always suspicious of. For example today, the TSV today, the GP66 Multi cleaner, V37284 does not have any review. I know it's not new because a caller reference having used it "every since QVC started carrying it".

90% of everything at Q can be found elsewhere for lower prices and/or free shipping, with promo codes, etc. I bought 1 food item from Q about 15 years ago and it was the worst thing I've ever tasted. I learned my lesson.

Check your local grocery stores for free delivery. One chain in the midwest now offers online shopping and FREE delivery to people over 60 or at risk due to the pandemic. I even got my 88 year old dad doing it.

I always check reviews. Reading them has saved me many a return as well as confirming if I need to size up or down. I discount the reviews that complain about shipping or unflattering colors, or that it's one star because the item didn't come in petite. I appreciate the fashion reviews that comment on material, fit, and wearability. Beauty reviews are appreciated too, but with so many variables (skin condition, skin Ph, climate, and coloring) sometimes one just has to try the product.

I think it is interesting that to write a product review on QVC.com, one must not "have a personal or business relationship with this brand, its owners or employees, and have not been offered any incentive or payment to write this review." Yet the photographs featured in the #loveqvc gallery are almost all promotional photographs from @QVC, program hosts, and brand ambassadors, and very rarely from customers. Maybe customers don't take the time to share pictures with their QVC products on Instagram? It makes you think who the #qcrew campaign is really intended for.
