Discounts?

I'm sure you run your discounts based on inventory, but have you ever done - or will you consider doing - a % off "spend as you please" discount?

It's nice to see specials for certain categories, but if we ever got a 20% off to use as we please, that would terrific! Even if you made it time-bound - like during a certain hour only...

Just a thought!

I think QVC is selling way more than normal.

I think people are stuck home that aren't usually home, yet they do order on line and are used to living that way.

So they come upon QVC on their TV and take a chance.

Look, my granddaughter (almost 18) ordered on line 3 prom dresses. They all fit perfectly.

Those generations are used to ordering on line.

When my 39 year old daughter has been recovering from that Virus she's been ordering ice cream, you name it to be delivered to her house. She lives in the heart of Denver so it gets to her STILL within about 1 to 2 hours. She said there's a Ben and Jerry's ice cream store that delivers to her!

I live a few miles from what is one of the largest discount malls in the US but I have trouble getting things delivered because it isn't cost effective because our houses are spread out. The smallest lots all around for miles is about 1 acre. Some places are putting up a few apartments, but mostly large spread out houses still.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Shopping TV networks might be getting some new customers right now.

I used to hear the hosts talk about the NEW people who joined QVC.

Last week I heard Rick say it. But I haven't heard other's talk about it recently.

@Annabellethecat66 Has Katie been confirmed to have the Coronavirus?

Re: Discounts?

OMG! For those interested (still) yes my daughter was confirmed she DOES have the virus. She went to her Dr (the one who saw her just a few weeks before) she did the test and he called and said she does have the virus.

She is over the worst part. Actually she only had two days where she felt like slitting her throat, but after that she "felt like a brick was on her chest" and "she has a headache that is slowing subsiding".

So yes, she did finally go to her Drs and yes she did, but I told you she already knew she had it and the Dr told her over the phone that she had it.

She didn't tell me but I have to wonder if he was (I'll use an appropriate word) angry that she felt the need to come in and use up the equipment that could have been used on others since she was much better.

She didn't want to be one of the people that get tested when it wasn't necessary, but she did it just to make me feel better and obviously some here were wondering if she was diagnosed physically to have the freaking virus.

Thank you for caring. Oh! And she hasn't left her house in weeks so she's good there, except to drive to her Drs office.

I'm curious, am I the only person who has said someone they know has or had the virus.

Because I know Katie's friends also have the virus so that makes 4 people who have the virus.

Katie's boyfriend barely suffered with it. He definitely was not tested. The other two people (one is virologist) did get tested. Her girlfriend lives in Arlington and I guess, I don't know was probably tested at work or something, I have no idea.

@Annabellethecat66 I have posted that a few people in town have the virus although not serious enough to be hospitalized. Husband found out today one of his club members had it and was in the hospital and died.

We live in a small town in NY. Still waiting for more word as texting is the only way to keep in touch. Oh also around the here there is no testing in Doctors offices, it is done in one arranged spot for anyone to go to if Dr. approves it.

It is usually in a secluded area where many cars can line up for the test. If there is testing at Doctors offices and a work places in Colorado good for them. There is a shortage in the East and testing centers run out very fast.
