Who's in charge of posting lunchtime specials?

esmerelda — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 16:02:50 GMT

And why can't they get them up on time?

LOL

I was just thinking the same thing. Today it was 11:07 EST before I saw them.

Late every day!

And may I add, they are seldom worth the wait...

@esmerelda @Puzzle Piece @RespectLife @faeriemoon

Just type in (exactly as printed or it won't work), Lunchtime Special Pricing, and you can pull them up before 11AM.

I usually do that first thing in the AM (5-6AM), when I check 'New Arrivals', etc.

HTH & Merry Christmas!

Thanks @KingstonsMom

I will try that!

@faeriemoonis right though....I don't know why I wait with baited breath! LOL

With the millions of items available, QVC really needs to step up the Lunchtime Specials! Such few offerings of things they never should have carried in the first place! Ha, ha Couldn't we please have MORE offered? LTS are really great prices if you are lucky enough to find something you'd like. Much better discount than TSV, that's for sure!

I have probably only ordered a dozen items in almost 30 years! Recently, I have been able to get some Logo at much more affordable prices.

i posted this on another thread, but i will share it here also.

just after midnight eastern time you can access them by typing in "lunchtime special" exactly like that with the quotes in the qvc search bar. they will all come up.

If you use the QVC App they are available at 10:00am eastern. Guess it's an incentive to use their App.

From a poster a few months I learned to type "lunchtime special" singular, in quotes and I have no problem accessing them long before the official time. 99% of the time, there is nothing of interest anyway. I do check back late in the cutoff time to see if anything else has been added which sometimes happens.

I always check them. Sometimes I am happily surprised.

@KingstonsMom Thank you for that info.

@RespectLife That's where I look for LOGO too. I no longer pay full price for her stuff.

Bingo... They're so scintillating, I forgot to look today until I saw this topic... Of course, now it's too late... and you know, I just don't care...

They are late and not worth looking at.

Get them up on time? WHERE are they located? Ever since they revamped their website, I have no idea where the lunch specials are. Soooooooooooo I save money and QVC loses money.

You all do realize that QVC's site is hosted on multiple servers (many of them). Once the specials are put in place and the site update, it takes a while for this data to populate across all of the mirrored servers. Despite what many like to think, it is not an instantaneous process.

Give them a break. It is not as if we are waiting on life-saving medication to become aailable on a shopping channel, so stop acting like it.

They're on their lunch break.

it is now 12.06 am et. they are up for 12/16/16.

YIKES!

Yes, we DO realize the complexities of computer programming. However, MANY other sites also have time sensitive offers which are always right to the minute.

And No, we are not waiting for lifesaving medication. However, there ARE limited quantities available in sizes and colors.

I have missed out on several items just because my computer was slow or I was reading the reviews or watching the video presentation. By time I got it into my cart..it was sold out.

LTS are one of the very few real bargains QVC offers.

Give US a break!
