Packing slips/labels not needed

San Antonio Gal — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 00:33:19 GMT

I always receive a packing slip with my Q orders - along with the self-adhesive return slip. I wish they would save themselves money and stop sending them.

Other retailers don't send them such as Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.

In the rare event I have to return something, it's very easy to just print a slip.

Not if you don't have a printer!

@San Antonio Gal lol You may be the first Forum poster to make that request, but there are no prizes for being the first. Sorry

One can always log into your QVC account and follow the instructions for returning said product, when it's at the stage to print it, take a photo of it and go to your local ups store, show them the photo on your phone, ups person will take it from there.

I do that when I return an Amazon item and return it to Kohl's.

One could also do it when UPS comes to your home to pick up an item.

I typically get packing slips with my orders and they're very welcome when a return is needed; I absolutely hate using the online system because it wastes ink and paper. The format is ridiculous: Page 1 is half filled with overly detailed instructions on a dark grey background that would never need to be printed—except the gigantic label is provided on the other half of the page; Page 2 uses just 1/3 of the space for a little section that contains the return slip, which also has grey background printing plus colored text and a logo. They could easily consolidate all of that onto a single page to minimize waste, or they could at least put the instructions on their own page so the customer would only need to print one sheet of paper (ideally in black and white only) and then cut it in half.

(Don't get me started on the stupidly low character limit for the return reason.)

And I know QR codes are now offered to avoid printing return labels, but they don't work well on my phone and don't offer reliable tracking, so they're not a viable option.

So, long story short, I hope QVC continues to include return labels in shipments!

@Alsace Gal Not everyone has a smartphone. DH and I use our 24 yr old basic flip phones we got a month after we got married. Never had a need/desire to upgrade.

@San Antonio Gal And not everyone owns a printer.

There is no local UPS store in my area...nearest one is an hour away. IF I have a label I can drop off a package at CVS but it must have a label.

I like receiving the invoice/return label. I use the invoice portion when reconciling my charges and credits on my credit card statement and when returning just put the invoice portion in the package, stick on the label, put the package by my mailbox on the porch and the postman takes it to the postoffice. Easy,peasy.

Yes, but who wants to waste printer ink on a return label. Printer ink for my HP printer is over $100 for a pak of 4 cartridges. I prefer QR codes.

Besides, if you've read this forum you will have noticed many complain about not getting a label to return their order.

I could not disagree more. I prefer receiving the packing slip with the return label as I have no printer and don't get me started on that QR code business.

I for one miss the packing slip and return labels the way they used to do it. I think it was easier.

@San Antonio Gal

i am right there with you.....

i can print one out as needed OR i can use the QR CODE provided and go directly to UPS or USPS where they will print it out for me.

all of the information is online and easily accessible.

I have no printer & don't want one. Don't want all the extra costs it entails - paper, ink, toner, repairs. Whenever I use QR codes its a major endeavor. Have to sign on to the stores email, email it to them 2 or 3 tines cause it never takes on first try, then, worst of all, HAVE to PAY $3.00 or MORE for them to print it! So it becomes an even more expensive return than it already is!

Let QVC bear the cost of the paper & return! Doing it the other ways, it costs me $13.00++ to return & try on which us why I've severely curtailed my purchases there.

Thank you. I don't have a printer. I don't order much or return, but want a slip.

I stopped getting paperwork with my QVC items years ago. I don't even get a packing slip.

I have a return, my first in many years. I did the return online and printed out the label. I just have to drop off the package at a local car parts place.

Yes, QVC gave me a list of places I can drop off my return. The car part place is the closest. I had to specify exactly where I will take the package.

This sounds weird, but I am going to try it

I want a packing slip and return label, so much easier. I reconcile my bill with the packing slip. Unless there is something I really want my purchases will be less. I don't have a printer and don't want one. My New Year's resolution is to curtail my shopping at the Q due to this change and the fact nothing is tempting me anyway. So far so good. No purchases since last year for me.

I have two brand-new, never-used printers but I can't get them to work with my Samsung Tablet. After hours of frustration, I gave up.

@Mom2Dogs. New procedure...on QVC get a QR code with your phone. Take it and your package to USPS OR UPS, they scan the code, make your label and off it goes. Takes about 10 seconds.

Re: Packing slips/labels not needed

AZfem — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 02:27:21 GMT

@Biftu I'm with you. I use packing slips to reconcile credit card. If no slip, have to go online to my accounts at different places or look up email confirmations & it takes forever. Quicker to just have all packing slips together.

Also don't want a printer. Nothing but problems with them at places I've worked & the supplies are so expensive.
