"Going, going..." pop up message needs to go away

LdyBugz — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 23:57:15 GMT

The "Going.....going....." popup message that appears when you are looking at an item is extremely annoying. It is not mobile device friendly. You must scroll around it to read text or view images. As well, you can't close the popup because there is a timeout applied that restricts you from closing it. This popup message is actually discouraging me from making a purchase instead of pursuing one.

I agree. I view it as a pressure tactic to buy.

I agree. Hated it at HSN and hate it now that it's come here.

@LdyBugz

You can get rid of the pop up ads/messages yourself by installing an "ad blocker."

Also, go into your browsers Preferences & make sure you enable the "block pop up ads" or something similar option.

@Mz iMac Thanks, but I've already tried those suggestions. 😕

Seems to me that customers shouldn't have to change settings and install apps just to make a vendor's site user friendly.

@LdyBugz I'm surprised because ad blockers work. The best one on the market for years is Adblock Plus and it's FREE!

As for "customers shouldn't have to change settings and install apps just to make a vendor's site user friendly."

I agree but it's the price you pay for using their website as well as using the internet in general.

I don't like the drop down one across the top that blocks 'Shop QVC' which leads to Recently on air, program guide, etc.

I believe it's called 'Shop QVC' and it's often blocked all across the top.

@ROMARY Yes, equally annoying. It partially blocks text underneath it.

It gets less effective the zillionth time you see it, and realize it shows up every. single. time. Amiright?

Ad blocker is not relevant here and does not work because it is a QVC message on a QVC site. It would not be considered an ad in that case. And I agree. It is beyond annoying. I hate overt sales pitches.

QVC IS an overt sales pitch. Hard to draw the line. So I guess it doesn't bother me, but I view on a computer not a phone.

I agree about the pop up messages on QVC - both the Going Going Gone pop up and the apply for a QVC card. When I see these messages I am annoyed. If I wanted a QVC card, I would get one. When I see Going, Going,. . .

I am Gone without buying. While I am on my soapbox, I hate that check out is Easy Pay Default. I have recently shopped once since October 2019 and it has been in process since July 7. This shipping issue is the same problem they had before C-19, so not all shipping problems are due to the pandemic.

Yes, please stop this irritating pop up. Pop up blocker does not work from an iPad. Please just take it off.

What makes QVC think this is a good idea!!!

I have chosen "Block all web pop ups" for my browser, yet I still get these QVC pop ups. HELP! QVC, you are making your customers angry!

Those don't annoy me as much as the e-mails that I receive that say OOOPS did you forget something or no one likes to be forgotten, with the item that you may have just looked at because you are browsing.
