QVC Sipping Choices - Mods?

Perkup — Sat, 13 May 2017 15:08:39 GMT

On Thursdy I received three packages - One from UPS, One from the USPO, and One from Fed Ex. All were from QVC and all were ordered at about the same time. What is going on with the shipping choices? I really prefer UPS.

BTW, the Fed Ex boxes were both busted open. The USPO package was crammed into the mailbox and the garment inside was a disaster, and the UPS package was just fine.

@Perkup Depends how much they weigh (UPS for the heavier ones or multiple clothing items in one pkg which makes it heavier) and from which warehouse they are sent (jewelry from one warehouse, clothes from another). You don't tell us in your post the nature of the items.

The Fed Ex packages were a bedspread and two sets of sheeets. The UPS package was another set of the same sheets. The USPO package was an Isaac Mizrahi paif of crop pants, which I can't seem to get the wadded wrinkles out of - even with a Rowenta iron.

Coming back to add a note .. .. when my regular postman is on duty, he often brings even small things to the door to avoid any wadding. When there's a substitute or on the 6th day, the sub crams in as much as he/she can and sometimes leaves a package on top of the box. I don't think anything that is larger than the box should be crammed inside, and that applies to almost every QVC bag.

I think it all depends on the weight and size.

Oh, dear. I thought this was going to be a thread about our liquor preferences.

I'm sorry you're experiencing problems with the USPS and FedEx delivery services, but they need to get your feedback. Especially the USPS. I don't think QVC can help with the problems you describe. You could talk to the carrier's supervisor and see what might be done about the problem. If you make it clear that you're okay with having a slip left and going to the PO or pickup location to get the packages, that might work, if you were okay with it.

Personally, I believe most clothing should be boxed. I shipped all my eBay clothing sales in boxes, with the items folded, with tissue, sealed in plastic bags, and never had a single problem. But that adds a labor and materials cost that cuts into the bottom line.

LOL. I realized it is a typo but QVC sells wine, I think.

What is so hard about giving us shipping options? Seems like another ridiculous rule just like not allowing us to post the Insider link to those who want it.

I suspect QVC-Melvin likes a small glass of Southern Comfort every now and then. Hi Melvin.

Up until very recently we DID have a choice in shipping carrier. If I wanted something in pristine condition and a fast flawless delivery to my front door I always chose UPS. It might have been a teeny bit more $$ than USPS but was so much faster and better.

I someties chose USPS for small packages that fit easily into my mailbox and if there was no rush or I wouldn't be home to take the package in from the front step. It was TERRIFIC to have a CHOICE!

Now many times things are sent UPS at first and then take another 2-3 days to get switched to USPS and delivered. I hate the waiting and watching my order in its snail-like progress.

If an order is In Process at QVC for more than 5 days I cancel it.

Apparently QVc is experimenting with various providers.

Honestly I think the post would have been more interesting if it had been about sipping and wine choices. I'll try to do better next time. But I suspect they would try to cram the bottles into the mailbox anyway.

I live in a highrise apartment building and we have a weekly social called Sipps I thought the OP was telling us that QVC is offering something like it.

@deepwaterdotter

I'm thinking @Melvin-QVC might enjoy sipping on a little Hennessy myself!

A lot of artistic types (like his poetic talent) like to sip on a little Cognac for inspiration, LOL!

Totally just a guess on my part though! LOL!

LOL! My mail carrier sure would try to cram those bottles in too!

Heaven forbid that they actually had to get out of the truck to bring something to the door!
