How long has your Auto Delivery lasted?

World Traveler — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 13:43:28 GMT

This morning while using some products that are on auto delivery, one specifically was noted "as long as you remain in the plan" when I signed up.

It got me to thinking about what might be one of the longest times someone has remained in a plan, continuing to receive the original low (I suppose!) price that you initially signed up for.

I've only been shopping with QVC for around 18 months. I have signed up for some things that are good for one year, two years, and one with the "as long as you remain in the plan" promise attached to it.

I am interested in knowing if you have been in such a plan and how many years you have been getting the same thing year after year.

Also, is it true that the price has never changed? Sounds like a great deal if they don't increase the price, especially if you initially got it with free shipping. I suppose the only thing that would interrupt that continued service besides you stopping it is if the company went out of business or doesn't partner with QVC anymore.

For all the AD's I"ve done - and still do -- I don't know how long any lasted. I just know some have gone long enough that new products came about that I wanted to try, so I cancelled the old AD

I'm thinking I had a Philosophy AD for a moisturizer for over 4 years. The QVC price was better for all that time than I could find it elsehwre even on sale!. Then one day, they had a great offer on a different product and I bailed.

My idea is that as long as the offer works for me, I'm happy; if they cancel it, I had whatever time with the product at a price I liked, but I understand why companies sometimes have to move on and I just take it as a chance for me to adventure a little.

I know some people get all bent out of shape when an AD disappears, but I just think thr world works best when both sides of an agreement have more or less equal choices. I don't want to have to stay in a plan I don't want any longer and I certainly don't want a hassle when I decide to change. I know with some companies, it's almost impossible to get out with one click - QVC has always been excellent that way.

The AD's I've used have all been of great value to me - and I appreciate the way they service them, too. Thanks QVC!

I've never picked a forever plan and the longest plan I've picked has been 2 years. I've also never completed an AD plan that's lasted that long without canceling before the end.I'm a product junkie and switch things up too often to stick with most things that long.

I do know there have been people who have had plans canceled by QVC, some because products were discontinued or dropped by QVC, and some, I think, because the AD price doesn't change, so QVC will end the program if the price of the item goes up to a point where it's detrimental to QVC.
