I have heard from every retailer and company I do business with, but I have not seen anything from QVC about what they are doing to address the virus pandemic.  It has been espeicailly hard for us germaphobes to accept deliveries of our packages.  It would be nice to have the Q address the sanitaizing precautions they are taking for their employees and customers.  I don't need to be lecutred on-air, but an email would be warranted.

I don't do facebook, so maybe missed it?   If so, I am glad they reached out to some.

I got an email.

Macys and Bloomingdles just announced they are closing all stores through the end of the month.  I fear that we are heading into a deep and very long recession that could last for years.  Truly a frightening time right now.

I got one on March 14.  Check your email.  Maybe it's in your promotional file.

The best thing you can do after opening packages is wash your hands immediately afterwards.

Thanks, I will go check.

Many emails I've gotten are with us in spirit but don't outline specific steps they are taking.  What can companies that ship stuff actually do, really?

What you could do is follow the protocol of other places you order from.  

Simple.  Wash your hands.

I've always used a specific pocket knife to open any packages or my garden shears for envelopes and always washed my hands after handling the boxes and usually wear a pair of rubber gloves I keep in the garage.

All boxes look like they've been on a dirty conveyor belt and I have no desire to touch that.  And I've seen shoe footprints on envelopes before.

I even open envelopes other than most business mail upside down---not the top where someone has licked.

I've always been this way.  Fanatical maybe.  But most of what we're being told to do now, I've been doing.  Of course, standing 6 feet away from people is different than what I'm used to doing.

For piece of mind, let the boxes sit for two weeks before you open them.  Protect yourself if you feel the necessity (gloves, wiping your cutting instrument) and washing your hands real well after opening.

I fear for the warehouse employees who are working in close quaters and arent treated with the same kid gloves that the hosts get.
