QVC, Enough Already!

katiescarlett — Sat, 12 Dec 2015 21:57:18 GMT

Dear QVC, Enough already with the computers!!!! We are so tired of endless offerings and airings of computers and electronics! Your programming has gotten really repetitious and boring to the point where I never watch any more. And the quality and value just are not there that much like they used to be.

It seems the Q has very little variety in their gift offerings this year. I'm kind of surprised. With so many items offered on their website, it's boggles my mind that they couldn't have done better. I do recognize, however, that some folks look to the Q for computer purchases at this time of year.

A lot of computers were sold so far today, even though there was a similar TSV recently.

Actually, I say enough with the whining and complaining about programming.

QVC is a retailer. They sell items. If the items continue to sell, why would they not continue to offer them and promote them?

Like other retailers, QVC exists to make money. It is not here to alleviate our boredom, entertain us, or distract us from everyday life.

If people are bored, particuarly at this time of year, there are so many worthwhile activities that can be done to help others. One can also take time to view other shows, read a book, enjoy a hobby, etc., please stop whining as if you are somehow being forced to sit and watch a shopping channel.

We can't really be certain of this... just because QVC says so doesn't necessarily make it so... could be just a marketing ploy as in "if so many others are purchasing this computer, then so should I!"

Huh. That makes no sense.

KFC, please stop selling fried chicken!!! I know it supports thousands of people and provides quick meals for consumers, but I want you to just stop it and sell burgers and fish, because that's what I like!!!!

Why do you blame QVC? Last time I tuned in when they were selling a computer, they'd sold something like 88,000 of them.

Why not blame the buyers? If they'd go away, so would the shows!

Same with anything else that;s sold in huge quantities - whether it's a computer or something Logo or a Ripka trinket or a mattress.

And as usual, the bored watcher doesn't say she'd buy if they showed something different, she'd just watch more. How's that work for the company? This complaint is as boring as OP thinks computer offerings are - we see it over and over. OP has had enough computers; I say enough to complaintsabout products that pay the way for the rest of the company to survive! Enough!

Haven't seen any real deals. Must be people who want the free financing, you can sure do better other places.

I do wonder why computers, mattresses and tablets are usually sold on QVC on the weekends.

For me it wouldn't be about getting a "great deal" as to do that you would have to go to many different places and to get anything you might need would often require installing programs, buying extras, etc and everyone doesn't have the knowledge nor do they want to spend time doing this!! Next time I want a computer, laptop, tablet ect I will go with one of the shopping channels and save a lot of running around and trying to piece mill what I want. Here I can pretty well get anything I might need included even if there are some things I won't use. I don't have to waste my time then once I get it home and realize I need something else to do what I want! It's not always about the lowest price for some of us as my time is more valuable than obsessing about "deals"!! Also They sell electroncs and the stuff they do because that is where the money is. Catering to those who are "bored' watching these presentations would probably cause them to loose money and as someone stated the "bored" probably aren't going to buy enough to make the huge profits electronics do!!!

Actually, didn't the CEO once say that they wanted to entertain us? And I don't watch because it is so boring and I have better things to do, so, this "one" does read a book, walk my dogs, ride my horses, work in the yard, etc. Did I say I was being forced to sit and watch QVC????? HOWEVER, when I DO CHOOSE to watch, I would like to see something different!!!!

I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are. If you are happy with the programming, great!

@katiescarlett You know what ELSE is boring... I'll tell you... It's the same people coming onto any thread suggesting better programming and defending the Q at all costs with the same arguments that they might as well copy and paste from their legion of other posts... You know, the same ones that do their best to critique some of us for consistently telling Emperor Q that he has no clothes... and is no longer interesting.

And you know, I don't care HOW many computers they sell. I'm a potential viewer and a potential shopper. Their bottom line is not my concern. My experience as a customer is my concern and from where I sit, it's gotten to be downright lousy...

Incidentally, last time I looked, this forum is called "Suggestion Box" that would seem to mean that posters are free to come here and make suggestions...

Sheesh... must be stockholders...

@Pook Oh really? and have you actually purchased a computer from QVC---well I made the MISTAKE of doing that......And after paying top dollar for this lap top it stopped working (it was past the 30 days) ....After numerous calls to their "wonderful" 24/7 support and being transferred around---only to get a supervisor's phone number and call only to get the message "mailbox full".....finally after calls to QVC Corporate (if they were as wonderful why would that call have even been necessary) anyway, I got a callback and they sent out an inhouse tech person 2 times, the 3rd time the tech person called Dell only to be told I'd have to send it back to Dell for repair.....after botching the pickup, it was sent back to Dell only to be returned even worse than what it was when I sent it.....after another call to QVC Corporate finally told I would receive a call from a supervisor to arrange a replacement computer......and 5 minutes until the call deadline I received a call from a snotty Dell employee giving me instructions for a replacement....after a long wait I FINALLY got a working one...IMAGINE THAT!!!! After that "wonderful" experience I now go to Best Buy for all my computers, tablets, etc etc.....and no problems at all.... And all the "extras" they give you are joke....the accessories and software is silly and not even used by most people...... So be my guest Pook purchase all the eletronics QVC offers and I hope you have the same "wonderful" experience as I did......

@Community_Team @eva-QVC @Keyai @Kim-QVC

Would it be at all possible for current QVC customers to make SUGGESTIONS in the SUGGESTION BOX without having to deal with condescending comments from QVC "cheerleaders" ridiculing our feedback and suggestions. I know retailers value comments and feedback from customers in order to initiate improvements in order to keep their current customers happilyy engaged and continue shopping at their website. Many of us are tired of snarky comments and same old lines, "change the channel", "find something else to do", "there are more important things happening in the world than this", "Another whiner"...etc etc.....(BTW we have already figured out that we can change the channel or find something else to do)......

Thank you for your cooperation.
