@RespectLife Gosh....why can't someone have a different experience from yours?  You made it sound like I was lying.  Geeeez, give it a rest.

I returned items to Kohl’s. When I shopped Amazon again I had a large gift card available. How do I make sure I get credit to my method of payment instead?

Probably helps that Amazon is many times larger than QVC.

It is actually the other way around QVC is the largest retailer in the US. I just posted that in another comment section.

"Amazon, Facebook, TikTok and a growing number of venture-backed startups are all seeking to replicate QVC's success selling stuff via live demos and time-pressured promotions. But the original home shopping is still way ahead—for now

Qurate, with 22 million active customers, is the largest in the U.S. by far and still growing, adding 7.6 million new shoppers during 2020. Shares of Qurate,  have delivered total returns of 300% in the past 12 months."  Forbes

Walmart is the largest retailer in the U.S @Bhvbum

Not any more:

"Amazon has eclipsed Walmart to become the world’s largest retail seller outside China, according to corporate and industry data, a milestone in the shift from brick-and-mortar to online shopping that has changed how people buy everything from Teddy Grahams to teddy bears.

Propelled in part by surging demand during the pandemic, people spent more than $610 billion on Amazon over the 12 months ending in June, according to Wall Street estimates compiled by the financial research firm FactSet. Walmart on Tuesday posted sales of $566 billion for the 12 months ending in July."

They are very good with this. My only regret is the return period. Most of what I’m buying now are Christmas gifts and the return date ends in 30 days!

[Imadickens]

I have had a few good dealings with QVC over returns as well.

[Imadickens]

Maybe this is part of the difference?

[Imadickens]

I think we are comparing apples and oranges. Amazon sells a much larger variety of items.

@Bhvbum I know.  I posted that.  In another thread you said it was QVC.  I guess you're not reading all the posts because I've already said this, that Amazon will be surpassing Walmart.

Amazon will overtake Walmart as the largest U.S. retailer in 2022, JPMorgan predicts

PUBLISHED FRI, JUN 11 202110:47 AM EDT UPDATED FRI, JUN 11 202111:42 AM EDT

Amazon is on track to overtake Walmart as the largest U.S. retailer in 2022, according to JPMorgan research released Friday.

Amazon’s U.S. retail business is the “fastest growing at scale,” according to the company’s analysts. Between 2014 and 2020, Amazon’s U.S. gross merchandise volume, or GMV — a closely watched industry metric used to measure the total value of goods sold over a certain time period — has grown “significantly faster” than both U.S. adjusted retail sales and U.S. e-commerce, the analysts said.
