Worth waiting for. If it is for someone else just give them a card saying a surprise is coming. I don't have this brand or this model but I know people who have it and they like it. I am a FitBit gal so I know the value of giving or owning this wonderful product.

You must be joking.

I ordered three. Hope they will immediately release our money so we can purchase elsewhere.

That's terrible. It happens every year.

I am surprised the "B" word in the title, went through.

Great. I ordered something on the 20th that they made such a big deal about on air how it was guaranteed for Christmas delivery. I just checked the UPS tracking on the UPS site and it says "Delivery updated to December 28th" - super!

Here we go - the complaints are about to come flooding in.....

Same complaints everywhere I'm reading.

Even my medications are taking days longer than promised.

I think QVC's $10 is extreme;y generous - more than shoppers paid when they decided to order at the last minute. I suspect there are millions happy with that $10 - and the usual few right here moaning and groaning even though anyone who has been here more than a minute in December already knew there could be problems. The media has been warning us for weeks now and so have posters.

@JH02188I don't buy the outrage. Anyone old enough to order online also knows the delivery systems are all on overload - all of them whether they're deliving a trinket or something important.

Glad you're so ricj you don't think $10 is sufficient. %1er with billions in your pockets?

That's what you get for waiting until the last minute.

It is not just QVC. I got an email from Toys R Us that they just cancelled an order I placed 2 weeks ago, guaranteed for Christmas.

No biggie for me as it was an "add on" gift. BUT, they were not even offering an "Sorry, here is a courtesy credit". Just BAM, cancelled, cannot fulfill your order.

The over promising for Christmas delivery brings in gobs of buyers, so they (general vendors, not targetted "they" at QVC) use that promise as a marketing tool.

Stores and small vendors who have integrity really DO try to make it all by Christmas, but most, if not all, have a point where they can see they are not going to be able to do it.

That is why shopping online has become a hit/miss way of shopping. The ONLY way to be sure a gift is received is to go to brick and mortar and carry it out to your car.

QVC does not offer exclusive items anymore. They like to make you believe they do, but I am seeing everything they offer (even the bundles they make you believe they throw in extras not found elsewhere) in Sam's Club.

The only "perk" if one really needs it (and I understand there are many) that the Q offers now is easy pay. There is stuff that many just cannot afford to shell out a big chunk of money for, but can manage a payment system to buy it.

That Canon Rebel camera that was on ad nauseum for a whole day is an example. That exact package was in Sam's, same bundle, same price. But to get it there one would have to A) pay the lump sum, or B) put it on a credit card, and interest becomes a factor.

So easy pay being interest free is really the 'one-up' that the Q still has as a buying lure.
