QVC and state shut downs

ccassaday — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 17:29:44 GMT

I have had a couple emails from companies that do business in a state like California who have to shut down their online business because warehouses and distribution centers are in California. Has there been any effect with QVC shipping. Plus they are in PA so how are they still working. Surely QVC had warehouses and centers in some of these states. Curious if it had effected QVC.

I ordered some eBay stuff which is coming out of San Fran. The seller emailed me to let me know about possible possible shipping delay. But then five minutes later I got a another email saying my stuff has shipped!

I have also received a lot of those emails.

Don't know how QVC is doing during this time. Probably will not be doing good with all the job loss.

When it starts spreading in the County QVC is located it's time to close shop & send everyone home. No reason to put all their employees at risk. I would not think most would be watching QVC. A lot of people no longer have jobs & wondering how to pay rent & buy food.

Right now Amazon is still there shipping.

The problem is Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target are not shipping supplies people need the most even if they have it in stock. Says it's available in store. Our Wal-Mart is out of stock, don't have a Target in our area.

Makes no sense they will not ship items we need when they are telling people to stay home??????????????

Trying to find things for my 90 year old MIL that did not get a 2 week supply like we told her. Her daughter her son & his wife have no supply of anything???

I would hazard a guess that places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Chewy would be classified as essential services so exempt from being shut down.

I think the Q and other retailers are adjusting their warehouses accordingly. I ordered a BFD sweater from QVC. Normally, it takes up to a week to ship, but ships from CA (which is where I live) so I receive it a couple of days after it ships. This time it actually shipped faster, but from NC, so it will take longer to get here. My Amazon Prime and Chewy orders are taking longer than usual to ship, but are stil arriving a couple of days after they ship.

I cannot afford to risk my health driving from store to store looking for stuff....they should ship it if I am willing to pay for it?

Chewy is out of a lot, too. My puppy biscuits haven't been in stock and the dog food I buy is not there either. I had to get the food from amazon and it won't be delivered until mid to end of April!

I don’t know about other states but the governor in Indiana seems to have struck a nice balance. He said if your employer says your job is essential you can go to work. He doesn’t think hair salons, nail salons ect are essential so those are closed. It seems these states need to find a better balance then shutting all work down. What I noticed in the Indiana order is almost everything is still essential.

It seems ordering online is kind of important to keeping people home so states need to let those companies keep their online business going.

A "stay at home" order for Chester County, PA where QVC is located was just issued and goes into effect at 8:00 tonight. We'll see what that means for continued operations.
