No LIVE Programming on QVC2 Today? 12/18/21

Caaareful Shopper — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 16:14:33 GMT

I switched over to see In The Kitchen With Mary at 11am, when LIVE programming usually begins on QVC2. But I see they are showing a repeat of Leah's AM Style, and continuing with repeat shows after that.

Mary posted her schedule and included her ITKWM show today in its normal time, 11am to 3pm. But I see the Program Guide has indeed changed and taken it off.

@Caaareful Shopper Do you suppose this means they've thrown in the towel and have given up?

Might have something to do with their massive warehouse fire in Rocky Mount, NC.

Maybe a lot of the items scheduled for that show would have shipped from NC so they didn't want to present them and didn't have enough time to plan for alternate items. Just a thought.

Oh my! That must be it -- that massive distribution fire in NC. Heavens, I pray for everyone involved.

The building itself, plus the surrounding communities and roads are all impacted -- absolutely devastating.

I guess QVC2 has it's behind the scenes fullfillment and perhaps some vendors in that area.

They told us that we would have all new programming for 13 hours till NY. What is going on?

There are probably going to be a lot of programming changes on QVC2 (and less live hours) since many of the things they were planning on selling will no longer be available. Things they do have in stock will be sold live on main channel first.

Seems like this distribution center dealt with handbags, beauty, kitchen/home goods, and electronics.

Adding this with the already existing "supply chain" issues, I'll be surprised if QVC2 can broadcast 13 live hours on everyday now, at least for a while.

I feel horrible for those whose jobs have been affected, as well as, shoppers what have been promised before Chistmas delivery. And those who have returns headed that way will have a mess to deal with.

I cannot imagine how the producers are scrambling today to fill the spots that were to be featured by items in the NC fire. I would expect substitutions to be presented using the website info and photos. They may just have to repeat items in the same show. The later programming will be in better shape than what was aired earlier. It has to be a stressful day for all associated with QVC.

They may have sacrificed live programming on QVC2 to free up more help with QVC. It's better to do one thing well than two things poorly.

I just had a Denim & Co top ship from that warehouse 2 days ago. It's now in Illinois. I'll forever think of it as being "the survivor".

Ive often had jewelry orders ship from Rocky Mount. I wonder how many of the Jewelry Day purchases were incinerated? There goes the guaranteed delivery.

Seriously, with all they've been through this year, you really have to feel for the Q employees and the burden this will put on them. I bet they could just cry.

Now let the complaints about the non-receipt of orders commence. I hope they send emails to all affected customers.

I've been reading about this tragedy on line and the huge impact it will have on the community. 2,500 families will be effected. massive loss of jobs, economy severely damaged. 300 were in the building and all but 1 accounted for.

Anyone complaining should be ashamed.

Hi @Caaareful Shopper I did not mean to give that impression, i was referencing a comment in a previous comment which mentioned complaints about non receipt commencing.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify. It was I premptive strike I guess in case anyone does.

I ordered 3 sets of the Luminara candles TSV for gifts and they all were shipping out of Rocky Fork NC. Checked status and they actually left the warehouse the same day label was created and they arrived at my post office today.

I imagine the Q is having to do a quick review of all merchandise scheduled for live presentation and remove all items that ship from that location.

That fire was massive and is still burning in spots apparently. How devastating for those folks who live and work down there.

Sounds like a big blow to the community and jobs. What a terrible tragedy. I hope they have accounted for the missing person. So sad anytime, but especially at the holiday. Prayers for the community and all the folks in Kentucky as well. So sad to see Mayfield and Dawson Springs all but gone. It’s heartbreaking.

I may have missed it, but the only fact I see in this thread is that there was a fire. I've seen nothing factually mentioned about why no live programming on Q2. Everything is just forum speculation. Please correct me if I missed something.

Sounds like it was a huge warehouse, and they must have lost tons of merchandise- So sad... I wonder what caused the fire?

I also had some items ship from NC this week. Some D & Co pants and some earrings. In recent past, most of my things have shipped from there if they were not available on West Coast. I miss Q2 already. I watched a lot of fashion shows there. Can't imagine what will come with that huge facility gone. That was their biggest where house. Feel for the people who worked there.
