CHRISTMAS IN JUNE?????

cazenovia — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 19:01:58 GMT

I have watched and ordered from QVC since day one. In past years QVC would have Christmas in July on a weekend, Now it starts in June and never ends! ENOUGH. I know this is a big push to sell but frankly I just turn the channel. I will watch when it is actually close to Christmas. That is after the 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and Halloween.

Yes. They are having a preview day for Christmas in July today, but then there are only five or six shows—not full days, just individual shows—until the big kickoff on July 12. At least for me, it's not only a nice way to spend a day, but it's a very welcome break from the all the fashion days that have taken place over the past month or two.

@cazenovia Not sure why the drama. If you turn the channel, what is the problem?

I think it's a change from some of the constant fashion brands, and all things Dyson, Shark or Ninja.

@cazenovia Just a hint; if you are planning to buy any new Christmas related items from QVC, you probably should be shopping before Halloween. That goes for any craft stores, etc. The CIJ offerings and prices are generally better than later in the year, if they are still available.

And management has said in earnings reports that they are bringing in lower inventory amounts from various vendors and country of origin, so if you see something you like now, I would scoop it up.

It really is ridiculous. I haven't watched any of it. However, I am guessing a major selling point is going to be "buy now" because with the tarriffs we don't know how expensive things will be in the fall. I can just hear hosts repeating this ad nauseam.

And the way the shipping has been going lately, you'd better order now if you want to get anything by Christmas.

Especially if it's coming from the Ontario warehouse.

@geezerette I'm not up to speed. What is causing those delays in California?

@PA Mom-mom

I honestly don't know what the actual problem is. And neither does customer service apparently. I think they're revamping the warehouse in Ontario CA, but most orders coming from there have been delayed for weeks or are not arriving at all.

There have been several threads about the shipping delays from there. Customers are not happy and customer service can't seem to do anything about it.

I bought three families their Christmas presents today. The Temptations cookie jar, and the TSV Lindt's chocolates. For each Family, a cookie jar will arrive early but the chocolates will not arrive until just before Thanksgiving. All shipped directly to them, and no bills to pay in December.

and Lindt

I agree 💯 percent! I won't watch until after Halloween if even then. Maybe QVC should consider having Christmas 12 months out of the year 😂

When the tariffs were announced there was an immediate shut off of shipments coming to the US, I saw on the news truckers in CA who normally got two loads a day, were now getting two loads a week if they were lucky. That has to be delaying goods coming into the Long Beach CA port. CA has got to be one of the major ports for imports from Asia.

QVC has been running the Christmas in July concept for ages. Many other vendors do that as well.

I do not care if they start CIJ two weeks early.

I already ordered my Lindt chocolates. They, like many of the other food items, usually always sell out. I like knowing my advance order is guaranteed.

I always laugh about the last-minute shoppers who complain their orders never arrive on time. Usually all my presents are wrapped and ready to go a few weeks in advance!

I appreciate QVC, and I am a faithful shopper. CIJ is always fun!!

I hate when people say change the channel , but that is what i do. I do appreciate that a lot of People do like Xmas in July , not everything is everyone's cup of tea. I do feel it is kind of rediculous to start so earl in June , but they have for the last couple of years i believe.
