For Anyone Interested In UPS Shipping

When you're on the check out page just look where the shipping info is. There will be an edit red arrow. It's very small so you have to do a bit of looking.

Click on the red arrow and a drop down menu comes down with three choices. The first choice is the one that is the defaulted one. The 3.50 method. This one has the lowest priority.

I choose the SECOND one. That is UPS and NO usps. I get my stuff in two days.

Yes, it's gonna be on your dime and mine but I don't want to have to baby sit my orders. I pay extra for shipping and it's worth not waiting weeks and not even getting what I paid for, then I have to call customer service and wait an hour for a rep. No thanks. I'll pay the extra. It's really up to the individual. I saw a post, well many posts asking about this so I thought every one should enjoy this if they wish.

Great advice! Through UPS, I was able to pay $19.95 fee for a year - it's for their upgraded service. Like you, I no longer babysit my orders and hope things don't get lost between the old UPS to USPS hand off. Q needs to do away with using USPS and stick with UPS only.

@LovemesomeQ1979 Can you please elaborate on what services you get from UPS for your $19.95 fee you pay? I will assume that is a yearly fee.

My last Express shipping, second choice, took 5 days.

Decided to give this a try again to see cost and expected delivery date. Today is 5/14

Default shipping on this item is $5.50, expected delivery 5/21, 7 days. UPS My Choice Plus $19/yr - delivery 5/19, 5 days.

Express shipping $12.72, expected delivery 5/18, 4 days. $7.22 more than default.

Premium shipping $19.72, expected delivery 5/17. 3 days. $14.22 more than default.

Default - 7 days

UPS My Choice Plus - 5 days

Express - 4 days

Premium - 3 days

Paying around $7 extra, Express shipping, for every QVC order could get very expensive compared to UPS My Choice Plus at $19 a year for one day difference.

Just remember that any of those expedited services is for shipping time only.

It doesn't speed up the processing time here at QVC.

@77yangya I looked just to see what you were talking about. After clicking the red arrow, the only options I saw were Standard Delivery, Premium Delivery or Express Delivery. No where did it state anything about UPS or USPS (no mention of UPS or USPS).

On a regular shipping charge of $3.50, I would have had to pay $13.47 or $20.47 for Premium or Express Delivery options respectively. I would never pay $9.97 or $16.97 more to get an item a few days earlier than the normal delivery. But then again I don't baby sit the delivery on the items I order to begin with.

@DancinQueen It's the UPS my choice ... premium membership. You're correct, it's a yearly fee. Sorry, I wasn't more clear. As much as I order from Q, this saves me a ton of money instead of paying the separate fee to upgrade each package.

I paid for the UPS My Choice Plus and can't see that it makes one bit of difference. Most of my packages seem to be a single garment which is too lightweight to be in the category that is covered so they're still delivered by USPS. If I have 2 or more packages, UPS always delivers them anyway without My Choice. I wish I had my $19. back.

I don't have a real problem with USPS shipping, I don't babysit them, I just wait for them to come. They are clothes or something I'm not having a crisis over, so it it is 3 days or 7 it's all the same to me.

I've had the UPS My Choice Plus for a few years now, and it has definitely made a difference for me. I'm not just looking at QVC orders, but everything I order online, which at this point is a lot of stuff.

I'm not sure if it might differ as to what part of the country you live in - I'm on the Gulf Coast, and you live out west if I remember correctly.

Once in a while I have a package that can't be upgraded. I get an email notifying me that it can't be upgraded, and it has something to do with the sender. This happens once in a great while. BTW most of my QVC orders are a single garment just like yours.

I'm sorry that it hasn't worked for you! It reallly must have something to do with your local UPS hub (or your local USPS).

Am I the only one supporting the USPS? I'd like to see an option for QVC to utilize USPS only. I've never had a lost package sent through USPS . . . but packages sent through UPS are lost all of the time.

@BirkiLady I have always supported the USPS. They're in a bad financial situation now because in 2006, the Republican Congress forced it to prepay their pensions for 75 years out. No other corporation does this. If it were not for this mess, they would be turning a profit.

I've had this account with UPS for years. It was always $40 a year but this year they offered that half off deal. I wonder if it will go back to $40 next time. Either way, I'll stay, as I think it's worth it.

The problem is when UPS passes it off to USPS Mail Innovations (in my experience the problem is then it will sit at the Regional Branch Office in my case, Carrollton Texas, sometimes for a week, before they pass it on to my local USPS for delivery.).... And there's another problem because my mail person doesnt do a very good job----my packages have gotten lost, or I get someones else package along with my order, Ive had to call USPS to pick the misdelivered package and that sometimes takes 3-4 days or they dont come at all......I got tired of that so I've called UPS and told them this is a package handed off from UPS to USPS Mail Innovations no one from USPS has come to pick it up yet will you so it can be delivered correctly and UPS has agreed to this...and at no cost to me....UPS needs to stop dealing with USPS Mail Innovations JMHO!

I just wait for it. I got two tops today and via UPS. I get one item about every other day now. A lot of them (fashions) show up via UPS. Very few with the Post Office. Once I get it, you can see the journey it took to get to you house. But only after it was delivered. I think they use UPS because it sits so long in the warehouse.

I find myself ordering less and less from QVC. I ordered a Women With Control item on May 1st and still don't have it. I'm shopping more at other stores that offer free shipping and I get the item in a few days.

QVC is literally the worst of any company I do business with when it comes to shipping times. It would be bad enough if the shipping was free but it's far from it!!

I been seeing the UPS My Choice being offered and after seeing some on this forum saying they joined I decided to give it a try joined today. I don't think the price of $19.99 is that bad for a year .I would think twice if after a year it went up to the $40.00,or more.
