It's probably just getting started and will increase leading up to and past the 25

I'd guess 7-10 days before Christmas, but it could go longer of they decided not to take 2-3 days to process an order or to ship them with any sense of urgency. I think last year I ordered something from QVC for myself and expected it to arrive after Christmas and was surprised when it showed a day or two before. Usually I won't order a gift from QVC unless I'm outside a 14-day window.

I think some items can be shipped overnight express with a credit card! Maybe midnight on Christmas Eve!

Because of the next day shipping options they have these days I don't think they stop until Chrismas Eve.

I haven't watched any shopping anything lately. They've all been getting on my nerves.

To the point in time express mail is even too late. You will have one day of no Christmas and then the Christmas clearance shows will start. I think February through June are Christmas free, but with QVC you never know. CIJ seems to kickstart the cycle.

PLEASE REMEMBER: Every year customers are angry and disappointed when PROMISED delivery of gifts did not occur! I do not think it is safe to order past December 12, even though the hosts will keep pushing GUARANTEED DELIVERY.

I would say probably right up until Dec 22nd......I think QVC closes down on Christmas Eve, and Christmsa Day, but I can remember hearing some of the hosts say with an extra 5.00 shipping we can get it to you by Christmas Eve.....

Even when it officially stops, you'll still be seeing the same products - they just won't be "great gifts" anymore.

QVC is slow. Overnight shipping does not include processing, so they may ship it overnight, but only after it processes, which can sometimes take 3 days. If QVC told me something would be shipped overnight, I would simply not trust that claim.

Sorry, in advance .. this is really long ... !

For me, just about ALL of the Q's programming has stopped ... except those special Vendors: Chaz Dean w/ WEN, Louis w/ Linea and Josie Maran and a couple more.

The Q's products, for the most part, are the same as last years, just a different variation, size and/or color (and the year before that).

When the listing shows that it is a certain Host's Gift Picks, I don't bother - it is just a hodge podge of items.

I would prefer a specific title & who is the maker/or a variety of makers - Jewelry/Or Paz or Designers Showcase - Linens/Northern Nights - Kitchen Items/Lock 'n Lock, etc.

The S/H and cost to return an item is definitely a "stopper". Who wants to pay $10, just to try a fashion item, whose size is not correct even though it suppose to be a certain size stated. Those S/H costs need to be discounted or Free!

I appreciate the "Evil Pays", however I would really like to have more of a real discount on items, not just the $2 or $4 that has been going on ... ex. a TSV will cost $39 and the next day it will be $42, where is the savings in that?

Sad to say, but when a Q customer watches less, they usually shop less. Sure, there is always shopping the Q on-line, but w/ all of the negatives - for me, being a careful shopper - I will and do shop elsewhere on-line and go to the brick and mortar stores (I don't have to pay $10 to try on the clothes/shoes). Yes, it may be a bit of a hassle for me (and others like me) as I live in a rural area and going into town you have to make the most of your trip (gas & time).

Okay, I'm off my soap box ... have a good day!

Not soon enough!! Although living in Wisconsin I did purchase the today's special value, that will come in handy.

When it's too late for something to arrive by Christmas, probably a few days before. I think there is a period of time where they offer upgraded shipping for a small additional fee "to arrive by Christmas". Haven't been watching much lately, it's just same old, same old and too much of it.
