As Is Section

DebNYC31 — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 16:03:12 GMT

I sometimes look here for certian products to see if anything in my size and have found a few things over the years. Still overpriced frankly for used/presented goods but some items don't really matter. What I am noticing lately is that an as is item shows as available and then I go to check out & it says its sold out & I just missed it. Happened a bunch of times now which is strange...if they dont have it fine, but why it is showing in one area & then telling me when I go to buy its sold out. Not a very good inventory system.

I've had enough of As Is

I've received items that smelled heavily of B.O. Or, of some dense strong laundry product that would not come out through several washes. Or even of cigarette smoke.

Burned thrice, not for me.

The issue of the 'just missed it' has been going on for months and it doesn't just happen with 'As Is' items.

There have been a thread or two already posted about this specific issue and I remember posting on at least one of them.

I don't understand why the QVC IT dept hasn't fixed the glitch yet.

I have had the same experience.

Same thing has been happening to me,thought I was lucky when I went to "AS IS" found what I missed out on, had the color size clicked fast and said something like sorry sold out ,then why do you have it listed and this didn't happen once but like you said many times and all different items . It seems someone isn't doing their job in keeping up with what they have in stock in the "AS IS DEPARTMENT"

As Is seems to be as big a teaste as Waitlist.

@SactoSue I don't order "as is"clothing so your post made me think that the so called returns department is really clueless to scents or don't care? How can they not notice and repackage that merchandise? Some posters have complained about perfume on an item, even new! Obviously a return.

I have only ordered "as is" home items like decorations and they usually are items closing out , limited selection or overstock from Q. I have been lucky.

It's a real annoyance, and it is not just the As Is products.

If your system can't even handle inventory control...?

I have bought many as is items and most have been brand new never used items.

I have had several items recently seemed to be "as is" when they weren't ordered that way. Packaging was weird and the enclosed order slip was different. In one case a pair of shoes came it a beat up plain box with no mention of what was inside. Like they'd been re-packaged.

Just the other day, I experienced this! I tried about 4 or 5 different items that I was really excited about and when I went to order, I got that message - about - just missing it! I spent a lot of time going through pages of things and then nothing. I agree about quite a lot of items still being priced really high, at least I think so. On the positive, I have in the past gotten several items at a really good price that I have been very pleased with. Yes, I wish they could come up with a better system to delete items that are no longer available.

I'm giving up on As Is. Last three items purchased were broken.

Keep in mind that any "As Is" item that you receive, which is defective (broken, doesn't work, clearly used/dirty clothing) can be returned without being charged for the return shipping and original shipping is refunded also.

I've bought so many "As Is" items over the years and I think I've only ever had to return one or two items for those reasons.

Often, I've managed to get something I wanted that had sold out in regular stock.

But I agree with the OP. Lately almost every time I've put an item in my cart and tried to check out, I get the "Just Missed It!" message. Beyond irritating.

I've had great success with As Is items. There were a few items that showed available until I went to check out. I discovered they were always items that were listed very cheap, like $5-10.

As far as I'm concerned, I kind of welcome people stating they will no longer purchase As Is items, more for me. Many of these items are very limited, having only 1 or 2 so that gives me a better opportunity to get a chance to make that purchase. I do wish they were a little cheaper. Many items I receive are brand new or like new. But, for the items truly a return, I think there should be a better discount.
