Shipping so slow

Purseone — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:08:15 GMT

I have ordered items that take 5days to ship and then, because I'm in California they take 10 days to arrive. That's too long

Forgot to add this. When I do order I estimate receiving my purchase in 2-3 weeks.

I'm in CA too, and many items take longer than 10 days to arrive. Orders from companies such as Amazon and Macy's arrive within 3-4 days. Even purchases I make from private sellers on eBay arrive quickly. QVC is the slowest by far.

I placed a small Amazon order on Wednesday (I'm not prime, just regular shipping), and it was in my mailbox when I got home yesterday (Thursday)!

I think Amazon has distribution centers all over the country through, that's why their shipping is faster than almost anyone else. I do agree though that QVC is very slow and this new "fast post", or whatever it's called, that they now use makes it even slower. I for one wish they would ship everything UPS again.

@Silver Fox1 I know. I have a friend who delivers for them!

I have items ordered several days ago that are still "in process" . I ordered items from Amazon much more recently and already have them. Same with Vitacost--get their orders in 1 or 2 days.

The Q's shipping is archaic and been the same for 31 years. It says a lot about a company that just refuses to compete and keep up with the times. It says that they don't care much about servicing their customers.

I live maybe 45 minutes from the QVC studios. It used to be before they moved their distribution centers I would get my shipments within 1-2 days. Now if things ship UPS I still get them fairly quickly but forget about it if it ships via Fed Ex/US Mail (which most do) it takes over a week to receive my shipments and the tracking is never up to date. Adding to the frustration I have had a couple of shipments get lost. Fed Ex transfers them to the US Post office and they seem to fanish.

I am in CA too and even 10 miles from their new distribution center which nothing ever ships to me from there - I follow the shipping of my orders!!!!! No matter what day I order, it takes the full 10 days (not including weekends) and many times I am no longer interested and send the items back.....so they can go fly a kite with their business. But I have to say because of the long shipping I seldom seldom order anymore and I haven't even tuned into QVC in the past week......I finally feel free!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shipping has gotten a lot slower since they are now sending a lot via USPS. I ordered two blouses on 7/10 and finally got an email that they were shipped on 7/14, to arrive on 7/18, shipped via usps. When things are sent UPS, they arrive much sooner. Don't like it, but..........

I have the exact same experience! QVC is completely falling

apart to say noting of their high shipping prices and prices

on ALL of their items have risen dramatically.

In my area, I prefer USPS because packages are delivered with my regular mail. UPS gives me a 3-4 hour window which they often change, so I have no idea when UPS orders will arrive.

I've been a loyal customer for years but the shipping is getting slower and slower. It's very irritating to order and wait three weeks for delivery. It's all about the money for QVC!
