Well, the plot thickens. My DH returned from all his errands and shopping. He called QVC, and the rep he spoke with agreed that we should be billed for an "As Is" watch. she credited our card for the difference. He explained the whole scenario, and she did not need to be convinced. Go figure.
On a funny note, he had multiple copies of our wedding picture made to hand out at the party. We both agreed we looked exactly the same, except he now is wearing glasses, and I now have a different hairstyle. Love is indeed blind.
So, you said at first it was a ring. Now it's a watch?
And I'm just a bit confused. If this was the Affinity 5-stone ring that was the TSV on the 10th, it was brand new, so I can't imagine how it could ever have turned up in an "As Is" bag. No one would've had time to buy it and return it.
And you ordered it on the 10th and already received it in the morning on the 11th? That must have been shipped at the speed of light.
Then you said you were returning it, but now you're also getting a credit of $300? (I'd say that was an excessive amount for a credit, but hey, it's your lucky day.)
Very odd all around, but I agree with some others - no way would I keep anything that caused me such stress. I'd never be able to enjoy it.
ETA: I just reread your post and realized that you, in fact, got the "As Is" price. Mind sharing with us what the As Is item number is?
And the plot thickens even more! I just looked at As Is and there isn't a single Affinity ring like that listed. Do tell...what's the item number!
I do apologize to all for misstating "watch" for ring in my reply. I guess I was a bit distressed, between anger and tears. This had been dragging on for hours. Alas, my fault for the confusion.
I must correct you on one issue. This ring is not new. If you care to look up Item J328667, you will note there are 129 reviews already. You will note many good reviews, but also some customers who did return this ring.
Yes, this ring was ordered on the 10th, and received on the 11th. I do not know if this was usual or not. I did have to sign when I received it. My DH said he told them it was to be part of an anniversary gift, so I have no idea if this is usual or not. The postage was only $5. Any thoughts on this?
As far as your confusion on the credit of $300/returning issue, perhaps you misread or perhaps I did not make myself clear. Despite the "As Is" sticker on the bag, as well as stated on the line of the bar code, QVC initially sought to deny me the "As Is" price because the item number was J328667.
The item number for "As Is" on this ring, told to me by Customer Service, is J332240. the price for this is $787.50. It said, as of yesterday, that there were none of these rings available at this time.
Yes, I would return the ring, as it is QVC's policy to always reduce the price of "As Is" items. The most they finally offered was a credit of $300 to be used on future purchases.
In my world, hard for some to understand, this offer was unacceptable.
Perhaps you did not mean it, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but I somehow get the feeling that you doubt my story. I am stating here that everything I said regarding this whole scenario is true. I am not lying, nor twisting the facts. As far as typing "watch" for "ring" in my later reply, I can only offer that I was worn out by all the phone calls and waiting for many hours for a resolution.
To all who wrote kind and helpful replies, this OP thanks you so very much. My DH and I will happily celebrate our 50 years of marriage this evening at a restaurant that is our favorite. We have built a life together, raised and educated a family, had many happy times, and supported each other through good times and bad. Yes, my DH being "downsized" when our youngest was a freshman in college, my DH's heart attack four years ago, and an ongoing illness I have. I am finally receiving the help I need, and my PT is already showing positive gains. We have always supported each other. I guess that is what love and marriage is about. And we have raised children we are proud of and delight in our two little grandchildren. They are the joy of our old age. I am so over being upset over a silly ring.
Again, thanks to those who offered positive messages to me.
