Re: Darn those lunchtime specials...

Haven't found a deal in a very long time.  Most of the items are White Elephants or Zonks.  They never sold to begin with or they were so awful that they were sent back to the Q in droves.

I don't think QVC is playing games. When someone cancels, the item goes back into inventory. If you call, and tell them you tried to purchase at the lower price but was not able to they will give you the lunchtime special, especially if it is soon thereafter. 


If this is accurate that is good. 

 

I have noticed that often a Lunchtime Special is said 'not available at this time' but magically the next day, it is back in stock in various colors. 

 

I have always attributed it to the fact that people buy them, then cancel the order within 24 hours, so they go back in stock.

 

While that isn't Q's fault, it is frustrating to try to buy something at that low price, not be able to find it in stock, but see it back at a higher price the next day.

 

If CS would make that price adjustment (which is often only a couple of dollars) within a day or two of it appearing on the LTS, then I think that would be very nice.

'Darn', I keep forgetting to take a look!  We need email reminders!  Maybe a couple of  hours before they post them.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Re: Darn those lunchtime specials...

Most days that I remember to check, I see something that might be worth ordering but just before I pull the trigger, I talk myself out of it. Must be premature buyer's remorse. Lol

If you google Qcuts, all one word, the first entry that comes up is Qcuts on Facebook.  Click that link.  I know you don't have a facebook account, but you don't need one.  I will say there have been a few times where I am asked to log into my facebook account to get to the site, but 95% of the time I don't log in.

 

This very kind lady usually posts the LTS around 4am each day.  I have no idea how she does this.  Some times later, but 4am is average.  You don't have to wait to 11am to get the LTS price.  I went to Qcuts around 9am today and bought the JR cuff in black and waitlisted the rose.  I also picked up both colors in the LOGO capris.

 

She also posts LQ (limited quantity) items, that you can't find on your own unless you have them in your wish list or know the item number. 

 

There are many regulars on her site that start their day early.  I would check it out.  For very popular items, like JR, Michael Dawkins, LOGO, you need to order early to get your size or color.  She was even taking requests lately from us of what categories we shop most in and she would look for LQ items, like in Quacker Factory, Or Paz, etc.

Vickie00:  Thanks, Vickie!  I made a note of it and will go to Qcuts 'first thing' in the morning!

Re: Darn those lunchtime specials...

I think people order the LTS and then cancel so it's back in inventory.  I've tried to order a certain color and it's sold out but I just keep refreshing the page and it may pop in and out before time is up.  I doubt that QVC wants to keep the items around because a lot of times I only buy because it's a good price and won't pay any more for it  the next day.
