How does QVC sell an item like V35877,

toomanybrandies — Wed, 16 May 2018 15:36:00 GMT

This was a defective item and they knew it for a year according to the reviews. They sold it as a TSV and they sold thousands of them. When I called the companies customer service line, of course the voice mail was full. QVC should be ashamed fo themselves and should apologize to everyone the duped on air. They are doing the same thing with Clarks shoes. They know they are mis-sizing them but they continue to sell them.

What is it? It wouldn't hurt to tell people what you're talking about, rather than expecting them all to have to look it up. jMO

@Tinkrbl44 It's the compression bags with totes storage set that was a TSV a week or so ago.

I know nothing about the ones that were the TSV but I bought these bags from several different stores (including QVC and HSN) in the past hoping they would work...not one of them did. I would stack them in the closet and when I would go back the next season to take the the bag out it was no longer free of air...waste of money, energy, and time.

They've never worked, don't care what brand or what store, they all lose the vacuum seal quick, in my case within a week.

I guess they sell them because of the 5 star reviews that some have posted.

This product is inherently defective. Everyone who has ever bought one of any brand version of the compression bag knows they don't stay deflated and will soon just be an oversized sandwich bag. Why they continue to sell them and why people buy them, is beyond me.

Well, thanks for that. I thought it was just me. I have bought two sets of different brands over the years. After the second set did the same as the first, I quit trying.

I have several that have been vacuum sealed tightly for years now. They were the Space Bag / Ziploc brand bags.

I also have some of the original Space Bags that came out many years ago and they still stay airtight. I bought some a few years ago that I thought were the same and they don't.

I think it's like everything - someone makes a decent product that does what it claims, then others make cheaper knockoffs that don't.

I no longer buy any of them, but I'm keeping the ones I have that still work.

The old space bags did not work for very long.

I remember many many years ago laying the bags on the floor and rolling on them to squeeze the air out of little openings on the bottom.

@toomanybrandies HSN has wonderful compression bags, bought two sets and most are filled.

Why does any retailer sell them? It isn't just QVC. This "as seen on TV stuff" is something I steer clear of when shopping.

I had this style, and they worked better than the Space Bags I got that you use the vacuum to get the air out.

I've found that they don't work for very long, in most uses. The only thing I think is that at least everything in them was dust free, and kept from dampness/water if there was a leak or something.

I still have many of them, but don't use them much any more.

I have purchased compression bags that go into a canvas storage totes from HSN and they all work wonderfully. I keep extra linens in them in my RV and they don't have a problem staying closed and airtight.

I also have some in my home closets and never had a problem. They work as advertised.

@mousiegirl @Carmie

What is the brand name of the bags you purchase from HSN? I would like to have some that actually work.
