QVC is in a Rut

Diamond Gal — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 01:55:46 GMT

Has the fire at the QVC gutted their inventory? Or the supply chain problems?

I've been seeing the same old clothes and shoes and household items over and over again -- on TV and on-line. Tired of seeing Hair Max and that whitening toothpaste. Same beauty items over and over, especially Josie Maran.

I've stopped watching and don't even bother to do much browsing on-line -- QVC, QVC2, QVC3, and QVC Now-- they all have the same programs just in a different order. Who do you think you're fooling?

There's a really nice fashion presentation on now with some different items that I haven't seen before. Maybe you'll see something you might like.

Is it a real fashion presentation or the usual pajamas and loungewear by Cuddlduds?

@Diamond Gal: My guess is you're fairly new to QVC. Because, if you are a long time viewer/customer, you have a good idea what to expect throughout the year. Certain items, brands, TSV's and programming is pretty much the same year after year.

QVC has been in a rut for years. They continue to add cost in overhead while ignoring the wants of the customer. They are there own worst enemy and time will tell what happens. I see no need for 3 channels, 2 or 3 hosts per show, elaborate set design. I want tons of information on the product not a variety show.

QVC has been in a rut for many years. They show the same products (or variations of) week after week, year after year. I'll bet most of us can recite the presentations on most of what's aired. It is why I rarely watch anymore.

Since you put this in the suggestion box forum, what do you suggest? Or did I miss it?

I imagine they are aware. Seems the entire crew has changed over. I notice things like this because I rarely watch and when I do I don't recognize anyone. And the loungeware, over and over and over. I may have cancelled lots of our activities but trust me nothing they show I need in the bedtime category. And I will also add... the prices. I do better in Walmart, Zulily and Blair.

My sentiment exactly. Enough with the frumpy pajamas, beanies and cabin socks and looking like you just don't care. It was nice to see pretty sweaters, coats and handbags presented by a beautifully pulled-together host. I do hope we see more of this.

Besides the Q (mostly clearance) I also shop THRIFTS. In the past few weeks I've found new Isaac, Graver, Belle, Linea, Denim & Co, HSN Slinky, Christopher Banks, Chico, Dunner and countless others in tops, pants and sweaters. Tags still on. Some not. Items range in price from $1.99 to $5. SERIOUSLY affordable. Repurposing clothes is a noble gesture. And it's worth a look ladies. Especially with the cost of everything going up, up, up.

@Diamond Gal Curious. If you stopped watching how do you know what they;re showing.

@avid shopper What are your wants?

Re: QVC is in a Rut

Teddixat — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 00:53:36 GMT

@bonnielu If you've found better deals on Zulily and Blair's then problem solved. No need to stress over what QVC doesn't offer you.

I am totally bored with their Monday night line up, Bored with Courtney, SK, and sometimes even Amy unfortunately. Too much cutesy talking between each other, one host per show please. And just to say I'm a little disappointed that Elise is gone, and now Monday and Tuesday mornings are boring as well. Will save me some money.

Maybe I’m in the minority here but I actually enjoy the Monday night Fashions Night In show because the cutesy talking reminds me of what a couple of girlfriends would do in their everyday life. I used to sit and chat with my bffs, cousins, and coworkers in that same manner and it just made us feel cheerful. Now, I could do without a whole hour of LG and would rather it show more of variety of clothing, jewelry and accessories but maybe LG is a top seller. But honestly, I always skip that hour. And I too have more than enough PJs and cabin socks and would actually like to see more office/casual/weekend clothing that can be worn outside or to the front door without feeling like I just got out of bed. And if I can add one more suggestion for the hosts, it would be to not wear the same color blouse or shoes that the models do. I like to see different colors on different people. And please don’t have a host and 2 models that all 3 wear size XS. If the host is an extra small, then I’d like to see 2 models that are different sizes to make it easier for us to see how it would look on different size customers. Okay, I’m finished now lol

I do well at Macy’s. Their sales are fabulous. Free returns, and it’s a five minute drive. Even if it was a longer drive it’s better than paying $10 return for an awful item. Yes, if I want lounge clothes or pj’s QVC has a ton. I have lounge clothes galore from last winter. Macy’s has real clothes. And double sales if you put things on your list and check on them. I say this with the exception of Candice Cameron Bure. Her clothes are beautiful. Her tops aren’t all so long that they become matronly for someone 5’3”. So I mainly watch her shows and I do watch D&C for Carolyn and Gary (adore them) and some nice clothing (not all - some are still made for older dressers or taller people) but they do have some wonderful things made in nice fabrics and their sizing is more consistent. I do watch Isaac but he just doesn’t have the variety he used to. Love him and waiting for his line to come back the way it used to be.

I have stopped ordering from QVC. Their S&H costs have increased and they even add them to the TSV's. I prefer HSN..they have a lot of free S&H plus they always offer 20% off coupons. QVC never offers any coupons.
