It's been noticeably slower since the new shipping policy began.

I ordered something two days ago & it shipped today. That is not bad. I just hope it gets here quickly. I rarely order anything anymre but I usually get things pretty quickly.

YES - I agree - very s l o w shipping from QVC!!! When I check - always starts with

UPS then trans to Post Office - that process takes few days.

Slow ship - really takes 8-10 days now to get your package - that is just too long when others can ship in 3-5 days. Guess you get what you pay for - $3!!

Yep terribly slow to get to ca unless you use priority shipping..The Bare Escentuals TTV was almost 10.00 to ship it priority so i just went with the 3.00 one.Who knows when i will get it.It shows nothing in tracking.

I ordered three items from QVC during the recent ezpay day, and that will be it. No more ordering from QVC, not just because of the slow shipping but because I have enough stuff.

With $3.00 s/h what else do you expect! Lower s/h means longer shipping ........! Makes sense to me........you can always choose a more expense shipping and get it faster.

It only means longer shipping with QVC! I've ordered from plenty of online retailers who offer free shipping and the items have gotten here faster.

I only just noticed tonight, when I ordered a top, that the $3.00 shipping is now "best standard" - which means it will either come via the post office or, even worse, Smartpost, where they use UPS to deliver it to the post office. It then sits there another full day before it's delivered. I'm not imagining that - I once called my local post office, 3 miles away, when I realized my package had been delivered there in the morning, but not to me by the afternoon.

I was told I could not drive round and pick it up and that they - in their own words - are "not supposed to deliver it for 24 hours". No explanation of why there is such a nonsensical policy.

So now, with this "wonderful" reduced shipping, if we want an item faster, we pay the higher S&H. And, if for any reason other than defective, we return it - say for instance, that it doesn't fit - we have to pay return shipping and we don't get the original shipping back. Nearly $14 lost for shipping for a lightweight item?

It's a lose/lose system now for the customer. I will be buying less and less. (So maybe it's a win/win after all!)

14 days ago, I ordered a pair of colored diamond studs. I'm in Indianapolis. They've been 2 hours away In Ohio for 6 days. Today, they arrived at the post office. The EDD was 4 days ago. Last Q purchase I'll make for a very long time. Amazon prime is the way to go and far more cost effective.
