RS Advent Calendar - What Happened?

StopTalking — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 12:06:23 GMT

What a screw up by QVC. People who ordered the Russell Stover Advent Calender for their families are not getting them. There will be many sad children out there.. Curious as to what happened. My wife ordered two advent calenders for our grand children and finally realized that the order will not be fulfilled - or not arrive by Dec.1st. Then the ordered was finally cancelled. She quickly went on the Russel Stover website and ordered them and they shipped! They are now sold out.

Whats going on QVC?

@StopTalking I can think of only 2 possibilities - maybe QVC fouled up or maybe Russell Stover kept the calendars to sell themselves when they couldn’t source enough of them to fill their contract with QVC.

We are unlikely ever to know. Glad you got the end of Stover’s supply

I'm not surprised. Anything that ships from a vendor is extremely slow. Some of it is due to covid staff cuts and state closures and I am patient for that. There were some vendors who were slow before covid too.

IMO, I'd never order from Q for Advent, Christmas, Hanukkah, or other holiday less than 4-6 weeks ahead.

It sounds like a wonderful gift - a piece of Russell Stover chocolate candy for every day in Advent!

They have some shipping and inventory problems. In today's world we are lucky to have utilities and food and I don't see it getting better really soon.

While anything QVC sells may be missed, we have more to be happy about and it is a good teaching time for kids to learn that not all things pan out like we would like, so how to go on, make life better and deal with disappointment.

Lately, I think we all have learned how vital this skill is. Unfortunately.

@StopTalking. Do you think a booming voice will come out of the heavens to tell you what happened? Hate to disappoint, but you'll never know. These are uncertain times and stuff happens. Best to have a Plan B.

I noticed Aldis still had their Chocolate Advent Calendars out. One chocolate for each day. Maybe not as nice as Russell Stover you ordered but just a thought. I don't get to one often but enjoy their German cookies and candies for the Holidays. Sounds like not enough to fullfill the orders so Russell Stover backed out.

I have 3 sets ordered of the tins and candy totaling 150.00. First order was supposed to ship Nov 7th and I never got it. I can't even cancel. I am nothappy but I don't think this is QVC's fault. I will never order again from them.

Yes, I did see the Russel Stover order was the problem. I was merely suggesting that at this point if the order was cancelled maybe she see if Bissinger candy company had candy advent calenders since they have good quality candy.

I have to buy several backups when I purchase Advent Calendars. This one I got from Trader Joe's last week is telling me the date is sometime mid-December.

Luckily, over the years I learned to plan ahead!
