Looks like another junk day on the Q....

I wonder why they don't think people are capable of buying "gifts" from the regular programming.

Most of this qrap is less than half a step above a Chia pet.

Oh, THAT was funny. A chia pet!

It seems everywhere does it though. The junk they put out at Christmas time and most of it is never seen again. I mean really, do people actually buy this stuff? Obviously, yes. Thank God they are not in my family - I would seriously be returning gifts left and right!!

faeriemoon ~ I agree 100%!!!!! I miss regular programming and don't understand why they can't sell gifty things in shows that fit in with regular programming. I haven't watched QVC since mid-November since all my local TV Guide has listed for QVC is "Great Gifts" 24 hours a day every day. UGH!!!!!! This happens every year -- I just get out of the habit of flipping over to QVC during the holidays and it's spring before I even think about watching it again. Their loss, not mine.

Ain't that the truth!

What I think I will never understand is why millions of shoppers every single year buy and buy and buy - and lots of what they buy is exactly what QVC is now selling.

It's every place I go from Martshalls to CVS to Macys to Nordstrom and Saks. They all sell the same type of gifts and decoratyions. Some are cheap and some are expensive, but really they're all the same.

I love these days. Nothing at all is tempting to buy or even appealing. Except maybe on lunchtime specials....

TV is turned to music and I'm steam cleaning my kitchen floor.

I cannot even stand to have it on as background noise. In the "old days" I would turn it on during the holiday, and it would make me happy to see some lovely things.

Now, it's just annoying and mind numbing.

I'd rather steam my floors!

It's an assault of the senses - too loud, too hyper, too frenzied.

This has been going on since July.

Besides the bad merchandise, the prices are insane. With all the good deals that have been out there, I just can't see spending money on QVC. There is an upcoming D&C TSV vest. The price is $30.00 plus s/h. I got a vest on Cyber Monday from another site for $14.99 with free s/h. To top it all off, I got notification yesterday that it had already shipped.

@faeriemoon@Lipstickdiva

Not wanting to complain, but am anyway, I understand what you are saying. The way the Q protects themselves from untold losses, I am figuring, is by advertising products that are large and very expensive to ship back as a return. (?)

The Q saves me a lot of money as I no longer watch this new QVC. I don't find Quality, Value or Convenience here anymore. 99% of my shopping is done and not 1 item purchased on the Q. I used to spend sooooooooo much $$$ here - now not a dime. HSN and Evine have gotten a lot of my business as well as good old fashioned B&M stores.

I was not a fan of the "QVC Sampler" shows of years gone by. I don't like these three-hour blocks of gifts. Perhaps it is a sales tactic to keep the viewer watching in case something good is shown. I haven't turned the TV on at all since I arrived at my office. But then, my Christmas shopping is completed and I am buying for myself now.

Well, I'm home decorating and would have loved to have the Q on to sort of browse and deorate. But I just turned it on again and they have some guy wearing a hair growing helmet.

Picture that thing under the tree Christmas morning.

When I started this thread this morning they were showing these glove/mitten things with a zip compartment to store items you might need. They were like a chipmunk's cheeks; kept pulling stuff out! At one point the host pulled out a bottle of nail polish and I wondered who would be carrying a bottle of nail polish inside their mittens?

GEEZ. Compared to this, the regular programming looks award winning and that is saying lots. I tune in, check and turn off.

@faeriemoon, you just never know when you are going to be out for your morning walk and decide it's the perfect time to do a polish change! Or paint your piggies. LOL

I totally agree! And it seems like every time I turn on QVC, they're showing that humidifier again. Does anyone really want one of those things for Christmas?

I paid 115.00 for an Isaac M. soho hoody sweater and that was the worst thing I ever did buy at the Q ! That thing was like shaking out a cheap rug from the $ store. Husband walked in and said "I didn't know it was snowing". I hollered "this is going back big balls of fluff flys off this thing". Sagged at the bottom front hem and went way up in the back. What a piece of ----. I received on a Wed. and they got it back on Mon. Cost me 12 to send back to boot. dang thing weighed close to 3 lbs.

What a let down...............

I have to agree. Who watches this stuff? Maybe they make money because they pay fewer hosts every 24hrs? Yikes. Terrible programming.
