Are they getting in Isaac waitlists? Around how soon?

[ Edited ]

From your own experiences, are they getting in Isaac waitlists? Around how soon? If I put an Isaac mock neck top on waitlist, do I have any hope of getting it in this winter?

We are customers the same as you.  How would anyone here be able to answer your question.

I'll take a stab at it.  Waitlists are not filled with new stock from the manufacturers.  They are filled from customer returns and orders that might get bounced because of over limit credit cards, etc.  Just be patient, I think over 80% of my waitlist orders have been filled.

You don't understand what waitlist means.  There's no guarantee that you will get a waitlisted item.

@Biftu From your own experience, if you ordered a fairly recent waitlist from Isaac and had it come in or not.

@chrystaltree Of course I understand what Waitlist means. I want to know if people are having good luck getting Isaac's Waitlists come in lately. I want to know if persons that have ordered his Waitlisted items more recently are experiecing the same or less luck getting their orders filled.

@depglass Respectfully, then how can QVC know or predict enough about this happening to put any item on Waitlist? I think they must have some items coming in on a follow up order and that order data is in their ordering sysyem. I do think that theyalso fill some WLs with returns.

@Mindy D   I don't know what you are expecting for an answer??

 

Ask customer service.

 

Nobody here is in control of QVC inventory.

 

I could tell you I ordered one of his items on waitlist and received it in 3 weeks.  Another person could order the same thing but the size and color could be different and end  up being sold out and removed from waitlist.

 

Unless somebody ordered the exact same item in the same size and color, the person still couldn't tell you how long it took -because it would still be on the same waitlist.

 

Too many variables to give you an answer.  And past purchases on waitlist would have nothing to do with any current waitlist.

 

Best you can do is take a chance if you want and need the item enough.

Re: Are they getting in Isaac waitlists? Around how soon?

Here's another stab, based solely on my own personal opinion.  These lists are set up with computer algorhithms, meaning a programmer arbitrarily programs in set percentages.  Have you ever noticed a sold out item you have been after suddenly becomes available?  Its all due to those algorithms.  So I frequently check on my waitlisted items, sometimes they come back in stock and I grab it.  Then quickly cancel my waitlist so I don't get two.
