How Many "QVC RUINED My Christmas!" Threads Will There Be?

Anonymous032819 — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 23:19:23 GMT

It's that time of year again, folks!

Soon the boards will be filled with threads claiming that Christmas was ruined because a package did not arrive in time.

It's a yearly tradition to have these threads, so place your bets now!

My guess?

30.

What's your guess?

Probably only one or two. I think most people understand December is a tricky month for deliveries, and also don't hinge their holiday happiness on whether or not a gift is late.

At least I hope so!

Too many. My family lives out of state, so everything I give as a gift either needs to be shipped or bought last minute in person. I know this. I've known for this for 20 years. It's on me to order in time to account for anything that could happen.

I especially worry about the advance order food delivery. Food delivery can be tricky enough already, but add food delivery, advanced orders, and the holidays and that always feels extra risky to me.

QVC didn't ruin my Christmas.

I order early, starting in July. I stop early. Returns until 1/31/20

I'm happy.

If that's what you're hoping for, you will probably be disappointed. LOL.

If the last few years haven't taught us to order early from QVC, I don't know what to tell you.

I had to wait over 10 days for two items I bought for myself from QVC--Bose, and Amazon Tablet. I would never order something from QVC that I bought for a gift after October.

i am getting everything in a timely matter from qvc.

no matter who i am buying from i expect a slip up or two and i dont let it ruin anything. there is no counting on usps, ups, amazon deliveries, and fedex once it is in their hands. if something is late, i print out a photo of it, box it up nicely, and let the person know it is on its way.

i try to remember the REAL reason for the season, the good will to men, and it isnt about a present arriving on time.

Hmm, probably not as many as the

Ooooooo..interesting.

I take the Under. 15.

This thread is funny...but oh, so predictable.

I think it's kinda funny how anyone could blame QVC for a "ruined" Christmas. They've been selling Christmas items for the past five months or so with Christmas In July! More than enough time to get that Christmas list together!

i always find it super amusing, when the perfect gift was ordered on the 23rd, and the poster is suprised that it didn't get delivered on time.

Gotta plan a little better than that folks.

i vote for at least 10 threads.

Haven't watched a lot, but so far I'm not hearing the hosts promising Christmas delivery. I did my QVC ordering early enough to get my deliveries by now.

@rms1954 I won't be surprised! But I'll save disappointment for things more important to me! I'm usually done with my shopping by mid-November...I would never be comfortable waiting till the beginning of December to start shopping by mail.

Yes! And I was always surprised at how many posters do this on Christmas Day, or the very next day!

There's something to "shopping early." July is not too early. If I see something in January 2020, I buy it for Christmas 2020.

So, for all those who will be moaning, there will be more online buyers next year stretching the limits for shippers...buy gifts early.

I'm counting this one as the first.🙄
I dont have a number to guess but my guess is between now and and Christmas the OP will start more threads than the number of "not received by Christmas" threads.

I am the same way. Everything is bagged, boxed & shipped out the week after Labor Day. On the boxes I mark "Do Not Open Till Christmas." I've done it this way for over 3 decades.
