Re: Received a call from QVC Today

There seems like a simple solution- only sell items you have in stock. I ordered from 3 separate online stores this week and got all of my items within 3 days! QVCs shipping issues began long before this current situation. The holiday season should be interesting.

Re: Received a call from QVC Today

I'm not a fan of Wisteria Lane either.  It's very outdated and "busy" but I applaud those trying to make a new home for us!!!  I used to moderate 2 Google Groups but it's been years and years and I don't even know if they are still up and running.  I don't know what to do.  THIS is home (even with the unwarranted rules).  It's straight forward.  It's "clean" and easy to navigate.  I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today.  And, of course, that phrase made me think of the Beatles Smiley Happy  If  you want to  put a smile on your face, take a look/listen to this YT video of a very young group Beatles.  Google says they formed the band in 1960.  This laid back recording was somewhere around 1965.  Just c/p the title in YT

I was thinking the same thing earlier watching another host. As you say must be tougher today with all the mishaps however they are good actors. Most pull off the air of sincerity even when selling a.clearance item with horrific reviews.

 

I remember Bob Bowesox mostly being enthusiastic until near the end of his QVC career, he looked like he was nearly asleep during his presentations.

That doesn't mean you can't get the virus. 

 

We have 2 employees out right now with Covid that did get the shots.  One very sick, the other feels like he has a head cold onlly.

 

The shots are a therapy so you shouldn't get as sick if you get the virus again.

 

BUT it doesn't prevent you from getting it.

 

We still have to be very careful.

That is just the cutest squirrel ever!

 

I do disagree with you though. 

 

QVC and HSN et al....have to plan programming WAY, WAY in advance. 

 

You just can't wait to see what hits the warehouse and then plan a show for tomorrow.

 

I think any item NOT in the warehouse should be labelled as such.  Hanging a banner blurb regarding shipping and staffing issues is not enough.  Each item should be identified.

 

A couple Sunday's ago, Dan was stating that the items he was presenting WERE in the warehouse and available for shipping.  Of course, you still have days of processing....but even item online should be labelled as in stock, low stock etc.

Re: Received a call from QVC Today

I don’t know where you’re ordering from, but the only online merchant I’m not having issues with delayed shipments and back ordered product is Ulta. I ordered an item from Lands End in June that was back ordered until September 24 that still hasn’t shipped. If the items I was waiting on couldn’t hold, I’d be sourcing an acceptable substitute locally, but truth be told, hardly anything I buy online is a true need.

Thanks, I knew that.  If I get it again, I hope it's not as bad as the reaction I had from the SHOTS!  First shot my adverse side effects were delayed 5 days.  The second shot, one day.

Gosh, sorry to hear that!

 

My sis was VERY sick from the first shot, and 10 days even sicker from the second shot.

Her symptoms were worse than when she had Covid and she was really sick then!

 

She is scared to even consider getting a booster and I don't blame her.

Oh no!  I don't blame her one bit.  Maybe her Dr can advise her.  Or maybe she can knock herself out with Benedryl for a week and sleep it off.
