QVC WEST COAST DISTRIBUTION CENTER

WORKING GAL — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 22:48:46 GMT

I live in Southern California and heard on our local news today that QVC opened their West Coast Distribution Center today in Ontario, California. It is huge and will eventually will have 1,000 employees.

Bringing more jobs into an area is always good for the economy. It is about an hour away from my area. Maybe us West Coast customers will receive our orders quicker! I just hope that the employees are trained well and errors will be at a minimum.

I'm all for getting our orders quicker.

I heard they were opening one this summer so glad to hear it is open. Hopefully that will speed up our orders since they usually come by pony express!

HSN has much faster shipping because they have a California warehouse...I think its in Ontario too. I haven't experienced an improvement yet but have some shoes on order.

I've been to Ontario many times over the years.

I have received quite a few QVC orders from Sacramento. I always like when I get the email from UPS that says the shipment originates in Sacto because I know I'll get it the next day by ground.

It still takes 3-5 days for orders to 'process' on QVC's end, but then one day once it's actually shipped.

about time! seems ridiculous for a customer in L A to get packages from So Carolina,etc. i hope i will be able to now save on shipping charges not having to send things in 2-day express to get it in a reasonable time frame. we'll see. so far i don't see anything shipping from there.

I'm a little confused. Why is it ridiculous for a customer who lives L.A. to receive a package the originated from North Carolina? @ms traditional

Qvc has always been an east coast operation close to NYC which they loved to brag about. After 30 years in business they finally decide it's time to give west coast customers the same fast delivery most others get every single day. Fabulous.

That should help Wesr coast people get their packages faster

Am I the only one who has been getting QVC orders from Sacramento CA for many years? For me, it's been items in the kitchen category, including Lock & Lock. Also I've received clothing items from that location and I cannot remember what else. It's not drop-ship stuff, either, near as I can tell.

I hope you all remember your ship speed will still depend on your shipping costs! Yep.

I am not surprised. They have been having more and more shows coming from LA and mingling with the Stars. They are expanding all over the world and quite quickly. They should do more business in the US. Maybe even make a few more items here??? Maybe we have seen a downgrade in quality and service to pay for their high wages and all of this expansion. After they started QVC China I started to notice more things made in China. They were even beating out other Asian countries whose names I used to see. I guess the more worldly you are the more customers you have and those of us who were ,"spoiled" in years past are no longer as important. Sorry if I sound out of bounds just my thoughts.

And this is supposed to mean what? Qvc does not offer different price levels for different type of shipping. It's the same for everyone regardless of what part of the country you live in.

nothing against So Carolina - but there are quite a few customers that live west of the Mississippi. i never got a package from Chicago - Texas - or any place but the East Coast to my recollection. seemed weird to me - and put West Coasters at a big disadvantage in terms of shipping time.

@chickenbutt i have never gotten a package from Sacto. which irritates me. i am in Los Angeles.

@chickenbutt Yes, I have occasionally gotten some QVC orders that came out of Sacramento, and I got them within 3 days of my order date.

But clothing and beauty items take from 10 days-2 weeks. I start reading reviews on these items a week before I get mine.

I don't care when I get my QVC items, since I can't remember the last time I bought something that I actually needed.

@truffle, whewwww. Ok listen. I think some may feel this new warehouse will likelyspeed up their deliveries. I SAY IT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO. THE OTHER factor that determines ship speed is the cost you've paid for shipping. In other words, if it's regular shipping, there may be some faster deliveries and maybe their won't be.

Question: Do you shop online any place else besides the Q? I do I must say in many places. I just wait till my package arrives. I'm no where near ANY of the online retailers I shop from. I don't expect them all to open a warehouse in my area though @ms traditional. You made it sound like it was somehow wrong for QVC to ship items you purchased from them (wherever that is) to you.
