Stop with the Food presentations already!

Is QVC becoming part of the Food Network? Stop selling all the over priced foods. I will never buy food from QVC. Prices at the grocery is high enough. You are losing me as a customer if you don't start putting products on the air I'm interested in buying.

Clearly many of us are interested in buying food. They wouldn't continue with the shows if they were not successful.

Many of us are not interested in buying clothing but I would never suggest they discontinue selling it.

@Howscome And if they stop with the food presentations, the Q will lose those customers who ARE interested in buying it!

I don't buy food here, but I wouldn't dream of asking QVC to stop selling it, just because of me.

Actually, I rarely watch on-air presentations...I shop here quite a bit, but I do it on-line. That way I only have to look at things I'm interested in.

They may be hoping Food Network executives take notice and offer to buy the company.

Apparently, the food shows are money makers. I'd like to see the Q continue to be in business. Thus, I encourage them to sell what keeps them going!!!!!

I enjoy the food presentations. I don't watch the Food Network but didn't realize they sold food there. I like to purchase special items that I can't get locally. There are so many more shows I don't care for but I know "out there" there are some who purchase the presented items.

@Howscome

TOO FUNNY!

Ya know, I went into ******the other day...what is wrong with that store????

(apparently, the store name is not 'proper' LOL It is the place where they sell all the Sporting Goods...and the name is a nickname for Richard..... )

I don't do 'sports'....why aren't they selling things I WANT TO BUY????

And the prices on small ladies golf shirts and skirts??? Ridiculous! Sky high.

I never watch the kitchen/food shows. See no reason to. Have plenty of local places to shop and for something "special" there's Harry & David.

If QVC stopped presenting all the products people complain about, they wouldn't have anything to present. The other day someone was complaining about Gardening shows even though they only do those for a couple of months out of the entire year. Some complain about all the PJ, cozy clothing shows (raises hand). Some complain about all the makeup and skincare shows. Personally, I also don't have any interest in coins and jewelry and I HATE Christmas starting in June and going on for the next 6 months. Maybe they could just sell shoes all day long. I haven't seen a complaint about those lately.

It is amazing how many people think QVC should only present what they want to watch. I applaud how many different types of options QVC gives viewers.
if something does not interest you do not watch that show or day. Very easy.

some people must think the world revolves around them.

For several years management has said to investors that food has become one of the most profitable and fastest growing categories.

As someone noted, they also don't need to deal with storage and stocking and shipping, as almost all items are sent directly from vendors.

Not only will it not go away, but I anticipate onair presentations will expand.

@Howscome Why not mention specific products you would buy and what your price range is? QVC is offering food because vendors still want to sell on QVC and many viewers are buying.

When the majority of the food offerings sell in the hundreds instead of the thousands Q might pull back. As long as they are selling thousands of most items food offerings will grow not diminish.

It's because it's "no risk" to the Q.

I know you are not interested in buying food, but I want them to continue because of the small businesses they have helped to survive especially during the pandemic. We often times forget about others, but I truly appreciate who they are helping. Some complain about the cost of the food but no one thinks of the cost to produce these items and the people who prepare it. We can all buy food cheaper else where but not everyone can go out and do that. We need to remind ourselves about the people who is really have a need for this service. We need to also before all these shopping channels were available how difficult it was for some people to shop. There are people who have to travel miles to get what they needed in the pass and I am one who thinks it is a great thing to shop from the Q and other shopping channels.

I'm interested in button front blouses, crops, ankle pants & pj's so I demand Q only offer those items on air & online or lose me as a customer...that's right, what others want & need don't matter. Good grief.

QVC should only sell what you are interested in buying? Sorry to shock you but QVC does not revolve around you dearie.

Re: Stop with the Food presentations already!

geezerette — Thu, 04 May 2023 17:42:48 GMT

I don't consider the food items that QVC sells to be basic daily items. I look at them like I do the fancy food catalogs I get. That stuff is "overpriced" too. I have purchased from both for special occasions.

I'm not going to be ordering from either for my weekly groceries.

pdlinda — Thu, 04 May 2023 17:55:45 GMT

@Spacrazy I recall posts on this board that if the food delivered was unsatisfactory (for whatever reason) QVC refunds the purchase price, so that's an expense the Q has to absorb.

Order a Grandma's pineapple coconut coffee cake and you will not regret it. I just received mine yesterday and it's more than half gone, it's amazing! Pricey but worth every penny!
