TSVs in general lately

wifey2qt — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 10:27:21 GMT

I am thinking that most of f the TSV's recently seem to be the Q just getting rid of overstock. Nothing seems new or different to me. My guess is that they are probably flooded with inventory that was meant to sell 6+ months ago. Today's D&Co TSV looks like overstock thrown together in the warehouse to just "bundle" items to get rid of them.

That's not at all true. The blazers from SG were brand new and are fabulous, btw.

@wifey2qt I'm a local shopper and right now I have no problem at all shopping from my own closets. Just about the only national chain that doesn't have a brick and mortar presence within a 5 mile radius of my home is Nieman Marcus and I don't shop there.

There's so little interesting to me in the stores that I sometimes head to the mall just to walk in the A/C. Seems like they are all selling off what I would have rejected even back in the years when I was buying and buying and buying. I'm over that.

I agree, they have been reshowing items as TSV's that were already TSV's months ago and didn't sell well or got not so good reviews. I'm sorry but I'm finding QVC to be very stale these days and the nonstop gourmet food shows, please!!!! Tomorrow it starts at 1:00 EST........and it will only get worse as the holidays approach.

Agreed. I don't care,for the food shows either. I would never order from them, as I can usually make it myself for a lot less.

@wifey2qt I think you're partially right about them getting rid of the "dogs" in the warehouse, often things that are in some way defective or poor quality.

However, the D&C shirts were made to be sold as a set. They've had this exact same configuration before several times, once last winter as a TSV. I ordered that set and found them to be surprisingly nice.

@Goldengate8361 The exception that proves the rule.

@Goldengate8361 Yes its new to US .......I'm not suggesting the TSV's are being recycled. My point is that I suspect they were intended to be sold months and months ago

I don't find the tsv's to be a good price. I can get 3 t 's locally for about $15.00 less and I don't have to wait. QVC's prices are insane! They will never see a good quarter with the prices and boring products.

Don't know why anyone would pay for their food products. Prices are high enough without paying that much for food. Just MO

@millieshops I was recently in my local Belk which is pretty much where I end up shopping, and there was nothing of interest. I wanted to buy something and there was just nothing I would wear. I have looked at the websites of the other shops in the outdoor complex it is in and nothing there of interest either. I used to so enjoy browsing clothes even if I wasn't able to buy. Now, it's just disappointing.

As far as TSV's go, I'm just finding them boring. I don't wear lounge clothes. I have at least 3 vacuum cleaners. We do need a mattress, but I just can't imagine a mattress in a box having the structure needed for my husband. I'm not interested in Christmas stuff. The Susan Graver blazer was nice, but I'm past wearing blazers. I do dress up for church, but a blazer just isn't my style. I might've worn one for work when I was working in an office environment, and it is good to have clothing options for people who don't want to dress down all the time.

Something I find interesting is the hosts often wear very pretty shoes, but the shoes offered are never like that. I'm talking heels. They have plenty of cute and not so cute sneakers or flats or booties, but I never see a 3" heel offered, but the hosts wear them. The Susan Graver host the other night, I think it was Jennifer Coffey, had a a really cute pair or chunky high heels. I've never seen anything like that offered on the Q.

@Icegoddess Have you searched the QVC website? I just did a quick search with the filter 3" heel height and 82 items came up including these.

I don't know about overstocked, but they seem to have been generally uninspired. Not sure what if anything they gained by not allowing us to purchase them a day or two ahead of time. Certainly the "today only" factor doesn't lend any glamour to a set of tee shirts or pajamas.

Re: TSVs in general lately

Elle789 — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 17:44:05 GMT

I completely agree! I have looked for the shoes hosts are wearing on QVC, I can't find them. I like my comfy shoes, but I also want a cute pair of heels to wear on the weekend.

I might only be speaking for myself, but I am so over tunics. Why does every top have to be so long and shapeless? I end up sending all of them back. The TSV today was an easy pass for me.

EarthAngelInTraining — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 20:24:47 GMT

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread; however, if I see something the host is wearing, I search for "Hosts Closet." I have found some items there previously.

Hope this does the trick!

Much luck --

Re: TSVs in general lately

Icegoddess — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 20:38:33 GMT

@Tori3569 perhaps I should've said that I had never seen high heels presented. I don't generally go on the QVC site and just browse for things. Occasionally I will browse clearance or a particular brand that I like. Most of what I buy is stuff I see presented. So, if they're not presenting it, I'm probably not buying it.

@EarthAngelInTraining where do you do this search, in the main search bar? I'm not familiar with that at all.

Re: TSVs in general lately

RescueLover — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 20:56:14 GMT

Hosts like Amy Stran, Shawn Killinger and Courtney Khondabi often wear high heeled shoes and boots that they own and that are found in expensive department stores. They will wear shoes, sneakers and boots if they are going to be presented on air on their shift is all.

Re: TSVs in general lately

EarthAngelInTraining — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 21:58:35 GMT

@Icegoddess

Yes, that's correct. Search in the main search bar on the QVC homepage

@Icegoddess I never merely wait for QVC to present items on air. If I'm looking for something, I do a search.

QVC only likes to put on air what they think the majority of shoppers will buy. Meaning, the same thing over and over again.

However, at the top of the webpage, you can click on SHOP, then click on SHOES, then you can browse the sub-category of what you want. Sandals, Pumps, Wedges, etc. are all available. You can then filter by heel height, color, etc.

Here are just some that are styles Amy & Courtney seem to like. I selected Sandals, then heel height 3" to 4" to get these. This is the tip of the iceberg; there are loads of styles on QVC.
