Do You Like Waitlist

Jordan2 — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 14:15:13 GMT

Do you like to be waitlisted for an item or if it sells out do you just skip it? I like being on waitlist because I feel I am very impulsive ordering things I don't need, but saw and thought I had to have it. Going on waitlist gives me time to think about the purchase and also read reviews. I have cancelled items because of negative reviews ( I just did). It saves me the trouble and cost of returning an item (I trust and value the reviews left by shoppers).

@Jordan2

I've had some WWC pants waitlist since late July. Price is really low.

Not a big deal ... I don't need the pants so I doesn't matter whether or not I ever get them.

Did waitlist once & QVC wound up cancelling since the item wasn't available - I'm not inclined to give waitlist another try.

If I really want the item....I am wiling to wait

All too often lately, I sign up for a waitlisted item and wait and wait. Then one day I discover it has disappeared from my order status list, cancelled I assume. QVC doesn't have the courtesy to even notify us that they're unable to fulfill the order. They used to do that but no longer.

I actually kind of like waitlist, unless of course, it's an item I NEED which honestly, rarely happens with QVC. But in my logical thinking and to justify a purchase, if it's waitlisted and I eventually receive it then it was meant to be. If not, I was not suppose to have it. And like others stated, gives me a chance to check into the item further, price check elsewhere and read reviews.

Only if I really,really want the item.

I don't use waitlist because I think that the probability of me receiving someone's return is likely to happen.

I never do wait list. In all my 30 plus years with QVC, I have never sat on the wait list for anything. If I can't buy it now, I don't want it.

I don't do wait list. I figure I really don't need the item and it has crossed my mind that it may be returns rather than the Q receiving more inventory, just my feeling about it.

No waitlist for me! I am afraid I will get a USED item!

Most items that I order that are on Waitlist , either QVC cancels them or after two 1/2 weeks , I usually cancel the item myself .

@cjm61 I'm sorta like you about it being meant to be if you get the item. But, I'm also disappointed when I get put on waitlist. I must've been lucky because I have always gotten any item I have bought on waitlist, but that's only 3 or 4 items over my entire time of ordering with QVC and HSN.

@Kachina624 Waitlist automatically expires after a certain amount of time, I think 45 days? Not a big deal to me if they contact me or not. I figure I can always check my order status. I did wait all summer for a gardening item from HSN, but it wasn't waitlisted. It apparently was still on the boat when I ordered it, so they never canceled it and they finally sent it about a month and a half ago.

@Icegoddess Fine except mine have disappeared in a lot less than 45 days. One day you suddenly realize you are no longer on wautlist.

Haven't done the waitlist much ----I think I did at JTV and got a notice the item I wanted was in stock within a very short time--the other times--I canceled after awhile as I never got a notice even after months. This was on the Q of course---don't do that anymore.

I have been on a wait list many times and I don't mind at all. There's nothing that I must have today.

@meallen616 - I've never received a used item after being on a wait list.

It depends on how much I really want this item, I have been fortunate to only have to wait a week or two before it ships out, not too bad.
