Here's a New One

PINKdogWOOD — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 14:53:22 GMT

I know QVC & HSN are sister stations but are they that close in proximity?

I ordered 2 pr of really great pants by Colleen Lopez on HSN, they just arrived - in a QVC box with an HSN mailing label.

How does this happen? Has this ever happened to you?

They most likely share warehouse space as a cost saving measure.

They use the same warehouse, especially the one in Bethlehem, Pa. I've had several HSN purchases shipped from there.

By the way, I received an Amazon purchase in a Wal-Mart box.

I would think that using boxes for both companies would just be a cost savings measure and based on sales numbers. I understand they both use the same warehouse space. Doesn't matter to me what name is on the box.

Yes, several warehouses are now shared.

I receive both HSN and QVC packages from the Bethlehem facility.

No brainer. They obviously share some warehouse and shipping facilities. Many posters in the QVC & HSN Facebook groups have commented on this package thing.

Because Walmart sells things on the Amazon platform. You purchase on Amazon but Walmart is the seller and they send the items out.

In this day and age, companies can be anywhere and ship from anywhere. Location means little.

@Kachina624 It's very ppossible your purchase was sent directly from walmart and not amazon. This one makes sense if indeed this is what happened. Some purchases I make come directly from the seller, not by amazon.

@chrystaltree Never happened to me before, I've never read this by anybody here quite honestly.

Even if both companies may use the same wawrehouses, it's still just very odd that a Q person is also working for HSN and boxes up either/or for the consumers. How does QVC employees know I bought something from HSN and they got my order, grabbed the goods, tossed them in a close-by box and sealed it with my HSN invoice but taped it up with a QVC piece of tape? Bottom line, I guess who really cares, right?

Probably 80% of the millions of items for sale on Amazon are not Amazon products. Amazon is a platform on which thousands of retailers and individuals sell their merchandise....and Amazon charges them for that. Yes, Amazon does sell it's own products but that's that's a fraction of what Amazon sells. There's a woman in town here who makes scented candles, oils, body lotions. She sells her products on Amazon. It amazes that there are still so many people who still don't understand Amazon.

@chrystaltree I try to avoid those third party sellers. My sister got a $30. ring that was not as described, and was pulling her hair out trying to figure out how to get it back to somewhere in Asia. I told to trash it and forget it. Lesson learned.

@PINKdogWOOD I would have thought that too except the shipping label had an Amazon return address.

One time I received an independent Amazon purchase in a flattened Cheerio box that had been fashioned into a mailer.

It was addressed to DH because we share an account, and I forgot to tell him the package was coming.

At first he thought we might have some weirdo stalker. Particularly when he opened it and out fell several partially cut up paper crafting supplies. Which I'd also neglected to mention were due to arrive.

Just turned out to be a very frugal independent seller who used what they had to create a sturdy envelope. I didn't even know you could use a cereal box like that.

Seriously @Kachina624 @chrystaltree Lesson learned here w/3rd parties regardless where they are, overseas makes it the worst. When I order from amaz I always now check who the shipper is.
