Clothes in boxes

KCH662 — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 14:39:54 GMT

Why are clothes being shipped in boxes instead of a big paper bag like they used to? Now, it is hard to return, but maybe that is the idea! I don't like it.

I recall clothes in plastic bags, but I don't recall clothes in paper bags. I'm assuming it's because the boxes are recyclable.

I actually prefer the boxes. Many times I order from Chico's and receive my orders in a box. They arrive nicely packaged, undamaged, instead of a wrinkled disaster like the UPS truck ran over it! I don't believe there is any difference in the return fees.

They don't routinely ship clothes in boxes but I did get several items shipped together and they came in a box.

Is there anything about which people won't complain? What earthly difference does it make? Just be glad you got it.

That is what I meant. I can't put a box in my mailbox to be returned, so have to go to the post office, very inconvenient.

I've shopped here for over 30 years and QVC has NEVER shipped orders in a "big paper bag".... OP just joined the forums today, to post a bogus comment?

SMH......

Are you talking of QVC using boxes for clothing???? I always have gotten plastic bags but never clothing nor have I gotten paper bags. Why is it any harder to return a box than a bag?

Just a suggestion for you, when you have a box to return leave a note in your mailbox alerting your mail carrier of this and ask them to pick it up at a designated spot on your property.

@KCH662 You can schedule a pickup and they will come to the door.

I like the boxes. Much easier to send something back also. I live in a condo and put a return in the mail room and mail person always takes. I am sure your mail person would do the same.

@KCH662 QVC has never shipped clothing in paper bags, plastic bags only.

I MUCH prefer receiving g my clothes in boxes. For example, I received a coat yesterday and it was shipped nicely in a box. This is a replacement for one I had received last week, that was a disaster, and squashed into a plastic bag. They should ship items accordingly; larger items in boxes, smaller T-shirt and sweaters and bags. My preference is the boxes.

The OP responded that she meant to say plastic bag. My tip...I put aside some of the plastic bags for future returns because sometimes the bags are damaged in transit. I have also made returns to QVC in non QVC plastic bags. I use the stick-on return label and make sure to completely cover the original label that is on the bag. I've never had a problem doing this. The only garments I've received from the Q in a box were DB coats, which is appropriate.

@kare29 Better yet, use the USPS pick up service with the Q return label and you can include the day and place where you want it picked up and you get an email receipt.

Go to the home page of the USPS website for this option.

@mspemberley I'm glad I read the entire Thread before responding otherwise I would have repeated exactly what you said.

Actually @Love my grandkids ...they have.....a type of paper envelope....but it is lined, not just a thin manilla envelope.

I have received clothing in what I would describe as a Paper envelope.

You know the kind jewelry is sent in? Only full size.

I HAVE several times received a clothing item crunched into a larger size one..and it IS paper.

Maybe that is what the OP is referring to....

Most it seems, it is a previously returned item I get that way.

I also don't care what they send it in as Long as it is packaged nicely. These larger paper envelopes don't quite accomplish that....but no biggie.

I'd rather have that than another box with 1 or 2 items in it....but I really don't care.

Something new? Or just the plastic bags like my last top purchase came in just weren't available? That came just about 2 weeks back.

The only things I've ever received in boxes were heavy cleansers or creams.

QVC has never used paper bags - just plastic.

I receive some things from Amazon in paper bags - they're hard to open. And harder to re-use if returning.

I received a CD recentlhy in a heavy, thick paper "bag" from Walmart - it was impossible to open. Had to cut it.

@KCH662 I MUCH prefer a BOX to a bag. The clothes ship better and are received better for the most part. I resent having my garments squished into some of the bags they use. Years ago, everything was presented and wrapped beautifully when the items were shipped. I'm not expecting that kind of attention any longer, but a box is my preference.

FranandZoe — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 16:02:33 GMT

I don't like how QVC or Macys is rolling up garments in clear plastic bags either - squished for sure.
