Just ship with UPS. Do not hand over to po.

I agree. I never understood why they transfer the package to another carrier. Why not just stick with the original carrier?

Money , they save by doing this , i hate it. QVC is the worst because they don't actually ship for at least 3 days . I got an Ulta shipment in 4 days and they used the same service.

I agree I've been waiting almost a month for a Josie foundation. Will give it a couple more days then get a refund because of course my luck they don't have a replacement. They should ship UPS right now and go back to USPS once the problems are sorted out (and I hope they are!!)

Do what the OP suggest, and listen to Q customers yell and scream about increased shipping fees. They would go up.

@Didiville

I would imagine it's less costly, the reason why QVC chooses to use it.

You can bypass USPS by signing up for UPS Choice Premium. UPS will skip USPS and deliver directly to you.

It's been working great for me; however, while UPS SurePost is upgraded to UPS delivery, UPS Mail Innovations is not.

"The main difference between UPS Mail Innovations and UPS SurePost is their specialty in the types of packages they process. UPS Mail Innovations - best for smaller and lighter packages that weigh less than one pound. UPS SurePost - best for heavier packages within the 2-20 pound range."

Update:

It was $40, now $19 a year. That's a good deal. Under normal conditions, delivery is 1-2 days sooner bypassing USPS. USPS has not returned to normal, yet.

@Kachina624 Raise the shipping and their sales will go down. See all the free shipping days which end up in terrible service by usps

@Didiville. Bingo! And thats why they're not going to do it.

I second that request! Every time it goes from UPS to the PO, it takes 3-8 days longer to get my package! HOW is this a good idea?

Since QVC charges $6.95 for returning even the smallest package, there should be LOTS of money in that budget already.

UPS to USPS is a shipping option .... yes ..... but a terrible one!

@Kachina624 Interesting to note that some packages are delivered by ups and they never reach usps as they are suppose to.

Kachina624 — Sun, 28 Feb 2021 01:33:53 GMT

@Didiville. UPS seems to have the option of delivering if they wish. In my area they'll deliver if there is more than one package per trip to one address. They of course get paid extra for the delivery.

It is $40 a year. Sometime during Thanksgiving and Christmas, UPS ran a special for $19 a year. Maybe, they will again this year.

@Foxxee - In case you didn't know (and for anyone else who may be interested), the UPS My Choice Premium service is now only $19.99 per year; the price officially changed in November. I was very pleased to learn about this decrease in price since I've been using the service for a couple of years now and it's GREAT.

P.S. The rate for upgrading individual packages if you only have a basic UPS My Choice account increased from $3.50 to $7.99 per occurrence—which makes it totally worthwhile to make the move to a Premium account if you think you'd want to upgrade even three packages over the course of a year.

Wow! Thanks for letting us know.

I miss the old days at QVC when you could choose your delivery method. It was worth it to me to pay a little extra in shipping charges to bypass USPS and ship UPS Ground.
Even with a paid UPS My Choice Premium account, many things are sent Mail Innovations, which isn't upgraded. It's unfortunate that the smaller packages ship MI. Nothing like leaving the fate of a not inexpensive jewelry purchase to the whims of USPS.

I placed three orders on the 23rd, all from the same product line. They were shipped together (free shipping).

They were shipped on the 24th, first via UPS, then transferred to the post office. The box was on my doorstep this morning. I'd call that a remarkably fast delivery!

I do think QVC is working on getting deliveries handled more quickly.

(Another order placed on the 14th, was shipped on the 16th and delivered on the 19th. Again, free shipping.)

I paid the $19 a couple of months ago and am glad I did.

I too absolutely hate UPS Mail Innovations and wish they'd give us other iptions. And I don't see how they're saving money in the long run when they have to send out replacements and issue refunds for lost mdse, which has happened with me.

But why do this with perishable items? My bagels, which was a replacement order that arrived late, was do to be delivered yesterday, 2-27. I tracked it yesterday and see that the bagels are expected on 3-4. Ship date was 2-25, I believe. Stale bagels for sure. Gonna have to call again about the same item but......

You'll have stale bagels AGAIN. I would ask to cancel all together. I'm hesitant to buy food from home shopping channels for this reason.

When that happens usually it has to do with weight. Something really light goes to mail innovations. I use UPS My Choice all the time. Love it! Who wants to have a package sitting outsie all day? I schedule when I know I'll be here.
