Does QVC still not let you buy if you return to much

I know I read on here before that if you returned to many things they wouldn't let you buy anything else.

Yes, I believe most retailers, QVC included, do this to prevent people from taking advantage of the return policy and also it cost them $$$. You may not be worth having as a customer.

There's a certain percentage of returns that they do see as a liability. I haven't seen it brought up recently, but I'd assume there is still a letter that goes out to those deemed "frequent returners".

Same typo twice. Not let you "buy" anything. I haven't read about people receiving letters lately but I bet they do limit purchases if the buyer returns a large percentage.

@suewags23 - If someone is returning excessively, I don't see why this person would want to continue purchasing anyway.

He/she should consider shopping in person or from another retailer.

I don't blame QVC for sending out "the letter".

@suewags23. The only people who could answer your question are those who may have been cut off and often they don't talk. We used to hear occasional complaints from those who got "the letter" but I haven't seen one for months and months.

I haven't seen any comments lately, but so many beauty returns from some. Not just here but lots of places that they shop. Although the Q says return anything that you don't like, etc. I certainly understand them sending the letter. I try to stick to brands I know and love. On an occasional beauty, oops, I usually see if a friend or family member could use it.

Yup if your percentage of returns is too high, they will end buying privileges but it's rare because you have to return a LOT.

Amazon flags items with a "Many Returns" notification...

@Desertdi I think that is very good of them! I wish more retailers did, but QVC is especially bad about wanting to push less-than-wonderful stuff off on folks.

From what I remember reading, frequent returners get a warning letter first that they are in danger of losing their purchasing privileges if they continue to return too many items. If they do continue, then, yes, QVC suspends their accounts and they are no longer able to order.

It hasn't been brought up lately, but this was their policy some time ago as reported here on the forum from those that had it happen to them.

I wish more retail operations cut those returns off. Good customers end up paying higher prices due to the people who return too much.

Years ago when Target tightened their return policy, profits sky-rocketed.

Come on now, are you really trying to put the blame for someone buying and returning excessively on QVC? Lol. Exactly when does personal responsibility kick in? No one is making that purchase but the buyer.

I wonder if anyone who has been cut off has tried purchasing again...maybe years later or under another email.

I was at TJ Maxx once and saw a pair of jeans with menst---l blood on them. It made me feel bad for the people whose job was processing doing returns. There is a such a thing as going too far, and stores and retail department stores should discourage customers who cannot or will not follow guidelines.

So true @snipsnapsnur ! Why blame QVC because one returns a lot. SMH.
