Advanced orders on QVC means they bill your credit card then they refund it and when it comes they bill it again.
How do I know? Because yesterday I called QVC to find out because Honora was offering a few things that would come in later. I wanted to find out about payments. I called CS and that's what she told me.
She said they bill the credit card to make sure it is good then they refund it and later when it comes in they charge it again. Here's one thing about that. For a day or so (whenever they refund the first charge, they have access to your money to use it to put the down payment on their order. Then they give it back to you. I couldn't do that because I'd go crazy trying to keep track making sure they'd refunded my money and then remembering to see when they take it our again to pay for the item and when it is coming in.
Phew! Takes too much brain power.
When I did an original post on this practice yesterday. It disappeared into thin air.
I'm not saying QVc didn't want it as a headline, I don't know, I'm saying it disappered. And as you ladies know, I do know how to post! Ha!
