As is...

Floppo — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 22:02:11 GMT

When purchasing an item from QVC, what exactly meant by "as is"?

Re: As is...

A return that may not be in very good shape!

it means if it has a scratch, dent, missing piece, whatever, you bought it as it is and can't return it............................raven

Exactly what it says on the "as is" page:

"The items below may be customer returns, vendor samples, discontinued inventory, or on-air displays. They're not in the original manufactured condition & may not be new, but QVC's return policy still applies. You'll receive detailed information with your purchase."

Hi Floppo - I just found this description - good thing is, their return policy still applies.

If you click on an "as is" item it should tell you all of the possible reasons it has landed in the "as is" section.

Usually, the items are fine (in my experience, anyway.)

I think that means it's a returned item & you get it in whatever condition it's in. I've never bought any "as-is" items & have heard both raves & rants about it on these boards. So it could be great or it could be a hot mess, I guess.

VCamp---it's the "hot mess" part that deters me especially since I was tempted to buy a pair of Ryka shoes. Don't know what condition they will be in ...used?tattered? irregular sizing? No thanks! But thanks for your input!

Floppo, I took a chance last week on an 'as is' pair of Sketchers GoWalk 'Cadence' canvas slip ons in Black, I got them the other day and they dont even look like the were ever out of the box. All the tags and a, dust cover lol? (nylon pouch) were all there. Along what posters have said they can also be used on air display but like I said, these dont even look like they were touched. I have seen reviews on handbages that have said this also.

Anyway, I had a good experiance, but yes I was nervous until they arrived. It was a great score. Good luck if you go for it...

I think almost everything I've ordered from As Is has been discontinued inventory. Many of the Honora items come with the satin pouch and everything.

The listing will give you the original item information. Look it up, and see if it's still offered in regular inventory. That will give you a clue.

or used for display.

I bought a brown leather Dooney "as is", because it was listed as sold out. Came in perfect condition.

Most as is items I've ordered have been in perfect condition. If for some reason they are not, the 30 return policy applies. I've sent something back that was broke and marked it defective.

99% of the time 'as is' items are perfect!! I got an 'as is' multi-Diamonique stone tennis bracelet which was missing a pear shaped DMQ stone. I went and had my jeweler put a matching CZ stone in it and its now perfect!

Have purchased an 'as is' over sized KJL enamel hoop earrings and there was nothing wrong with those either.

... or that might be perfect. It's the luck of the draw and hence 'as-is'...

I used to get some fabulous deals on ""as is"". The only bargains Q has for the most part.

I haven't ordered in a long time tho.

Seems to me that it's self-explanatory.

I don't think qvc should be selling their stuff that is damaged or defective. Often times it's expensive and I don't think it's fair or right.

Re: As is...

sylviahomeatlast — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 01:02:17 GMT

what does Q do with the stuff that people wore, used for 30 days and returned?

Re: As is...

JaneMarple — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 01:04:24 GMT

When I was younger I used to go to the ""scratch and dent"" part of furniture stores. I've found many a good piece that had only minor damage that could easily be fixed.

I don't think of the Q's As is items damaged or defective.

Re: As is...

sylviahomeatlast — Sat, 14 Jun 2014 01:07:27 GMT

appliances that are dented in transit on the sides where it doesn't show are fine---but if items are used for 30 days and returned are not a good deal to me
