At least my shirt gets to travel

Marietherese1 — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 14:49:52 GMT

I am still stuck at home during Covid, but at least my QVC order gets to travel. I ordered a tshirt on March 21st, and so far it has been in Lancaster PA, Bridgeport NJ, Urbancrest OH, Columbus, OH, Warrendale PA, Cincinnati OH, and now back in Columbus OH. I am trying to enjoy the trip vicariously and can't wait to see where it goes next!

At least your order is out and about. My Koolaburra TSV ordered on March 22 is still in process.

You ladies have a lot more patience than I do.

Aside from late post office deliveries, I have stuck to my thought process that if any retailer does not ship my order within a reasonable time frame, given a week, I will no longer purchase from them. Maybe harsh but I believe if its advertised and not so indicated as backordered, they have my money and I'm not waiting, thats just poor business practices.

Been doing this since for about 2 years and haven't missed the people who are on my no buy list. Poor performance is not rewarded.

OP: I am so sorry and I just can't imagine the condition of your item when it does arrive.

I'm sorry you are watching your shirt travel the country. Last summer I had a similar experience and was a little jealous since we had cancelled our vacation due to covid! Lol! I did enpventually receive my package so there is hope!

In my earlier years, I traveled quite a bit. A time or three, I borrowed a casual dress from a friend to take with me. She joked that her dress had been more places than she had. So, that dress and your shirt both.

@Marietherese1 This is so funny! I made the same comment today to myself as I tracked a couple packages. They sure do get around. And if we mail a letter in this town to someone in town, it has to leave town, go to a post office 90 miles from here and then come back to town. I don't get it.

I totally agree with you. I live in S IL, I had several packages that went to Hazelwood, Mo., Des Moines, Ia., back to Hazelwood, Mo., and to my local post office. I live about 1.5 hours from Hazelwood. Someone needs to look into the Hazelwood sorting center as I have had some packages lost there for weeks. Just a great laugh!

@Mistreatedbycs

Your comments make sense, but don't take into account the reality about how things work now. Your vendors aren't being rewarded, but they're not being punished, either. They are marketing at scale, and it's just not cost effective to spend a lot of time on an individual buyer. For a big retailer, Q doesn't do too badly by today's standards in trying to keep its customers happy.

yamma24, was that the pajama/jogger set where both top and bottom matched? If so, I ordered it in the animal dot one and according to UPS I should get mine tomorrow. I live in California.

That happened to me. Order left Lancaster PA and went South (at first....I live in the Southeast) but then took a turn and headed all the way to the Northwest. I think it was Oregon. Then left Oregon and headed back towards the East Coast. Stopped in Tennessee for a while then went back to Lancaster PA . After Lancaster it went south to my house. I did tell the post office about it. I don't think he believed me.

I had an hsn bracelet travel to 9 different locations with many of them in the same city. It started out ups, usps, usp, usps, post office and then back again. over and over.

Finally got it on the 10th day.

They did give me a kash credit of 10.00 because it was late.

Today I chatted with 2 separate CS people on hsn because they give out this one coupon to selected members and I'm not one of the selected members even though I've been shopping at both channels for over 30 years. The thing is almost everyone else gets the coupon but me on fb, the chatters give out the coupon number on fb and that's how I know. You can use the coupon over and over which is why I wanted it.

So they gave me 10.00 kash credit again but didn't want to include me on the coupon. You would think they would want my money because you buy more.

They finally added it to my acct. (more of a principal thing by this point) because they couldn't give me a reason not to.

The other cs rep messaged me back later and told me they weren't adding it but I had already received it..lol

I have never asked for a kash credit.

Yes, that was the pajama/jogger set. I also ordered the animal dot. It shipped finally on the 31st. I hope I ordered the correct size!!
