New Forum

I think we need to add a new forum to this board called, "Why can't I get my Insider?"

I don't know why QVC continues with this Insider farce. It creates more ill will than good. People shouldn't have to beg for it. Either mail it to everyone who wants it or discontinue the thing. And why all the secrecy about upcoming TSVs? They never sell out so you'd think they'd want to sell all they can.

This is one strange way of conducting a business.

So funny! I just responded to a post about this.

I still get catalogs in the mail (sometimes every week) from companies I haven't purchased anything from since my kids were living at home. That was 10 plus years ago.

And QVC has customers who are interested in getting their catalogs (that's what the Insider actually is) and it's such a big deal?

It just angers people when they've signed up to receive it and then they're excluded. How is that good for the Q's image or sales?

Deliberate exclusionary practices is exactly what it is. They're big, no, they're huge and they don't care if they ruffle some feathers.

@Kachina624

So you would call this new forum... Outsider?

first of all... I do not understand why you can not just sign up for it. You have to ASK A MODERATOR to ALLOW YOU to sign up...?????? Like only SPECIAL PEOPLE can sign up for it?? Huh?????

Then no one ever gets it??? What kind of marketing is that?? Just offer it to everyone who wants to sign up with no rules on how to get etc etc etc....

As far as no one getting it after going through the hoops and barrels of signing up, it is to be expected that it would turn into a fiasco as this whole website and their delivery of product seems to be held together with duct tape fixes. I do not think anyone knows what anyone else is doing in the running of QVC. Good intentions are just not enough.

I would say JUST DO NOT BOTHER SIGNING UP for this insider newsletter and you will not be frustrated.

Why not just make it a link on QVC.com? Or send it to all active customers.

I think QVC needs to do something that makes sense.

I think everyone should have access to it.

I don't understand why people get banned for posting item numbers for uncoming TSV's either. Promoting Q items is a good thing, right? LOL

I don't like QVC's discriminatory practices. Everyone is not treated equally.

Absolutely! This is the best and most logical scenario, in my opinion.

I signed up to receive the online version of it but I never did receive it. I just gave up.

Not sure what the OP is complaining about I asked a moderator and I was signed up right away.

I worked for publications for most of my career and there is always someone who did not get their publication, and it was always the US mail not us.

I agree with you @Kachina624. For years, QVC has tried to create an aura of exclusivity, which in today's marketplace and at the level they operate has just become a joke. Maybe, back in the days before the severely narrow branding, when TSV's did sell out and when profits were still high, it might have made some degree of sense, but it really doesn't anymore.

Need to make sure you're email settings here allow you to receive it, too. I had initially selected 'no emails' or something like that, and that stopped the Insider until I unclicked that.

Having said that, it should not be a big state secret to getting the Insider. IMO if anyone places an order fairly recently, or requests it, they should get it. I wonder if they are limited with the # they send out.

just a FYI......it is very easy to google the name of it and find the link. once you have the link just favorite it and you will always have access to current, old, and the new magazines that come out.

i used to pay to get it when it was $36, then $12, and now i get both the snail mail and email versions for free of course.

@I am still oxox All you have to do is read the DAILY complaints from people who've signed up but don't receive the Insider. Don't think the USPS does thus to the same people month after month.

They say you need to be signed up to receive promotional emails from QVC. I am, but still don't get this.

@september

you have to request it be sent to you online PLUS you have to be signed up for promotional emails from qvc.
