When you're on the check out page just look where the shipping info is.  There will be an edit red arrow.  It's very small so you have to do a bit of looking. 

Click on the red arrow and a drop down menu comes down with three choices.  The first choice is the one that is the defaulted one.  The 3.50 method.  This one has the lowest priority. 

I choose the SECOND one.  That is UPS and NO usps.  I get my stuff in two days.

Yes, it's gonna be on your dime and mine but I don't want to have to baby sit my orders.  I pay extra for shipping and it's worth not waiting weeks and not even getting what I paid for, then I have to call customer service and wait an hour for a rep.  No thanks.  I'll pay the extra.  It's really up to the individual.  I saw a post, well many posts asking about this so I thought every one should enjoy this if they wish.

Great advice!  Through UPS, I was able to pay $19.95 fee for a year - it's for their upgraded service.  Like you, I no longer babysit my orders and hope things don't get lost between the old UPS to USPS hand off.  Q needs to do away with using USPS and stick with UPS only.

@LovemesomeQ1979   Can you please elaborate on what services you get from UPS for your $19.95 fee you pay?  I will assume that is a yearly fee.

My last Express shipping, second choice, took 5 days.

Decided to give this a try again to see cost and expected delivery date.  Today is 5/14

Default shipping on this item is $5.50, expected delivery 5/21, 7 days.  UPS My Choice Plus $19/yr - delivery 5/19, 5 days.

Express shipping $12.72, expected delivery 5/18, 4 days.  $7.22 more than default.

Premium shipping $19.72, expected delivery 5/17. 3 days.  $14.22 more than default.  

Default - 7 days

UPS My Choice Plus - 5 days

Express - 4 days

Premium - 3 days  

Paying around $7 extra, Express shipping, for every QVC order could get very expensive compared to UPS My Choice Plus at $19 a year for one day difference.

Just remember that any of those expedited services is for shipping time only.

It doesn't speed up the processing time here at QVC.

@77yangya   I looked just to see what you were talking about.  After clicking the red arrow, the only options I saw were Standard Delivery, Premium Delivery or Express Delivery.  No where did it state anything about UPS or USPS (no mention of UPS or USPS).

On a regular shipping charge of $3.50, I would have had  to pay $13.47 or $20.47 for Premium or Express Delivery options respectively.  I would never pay $9.97 or  $16.97 more to get an item a few days earlier than the normal delivery.   But then again I don't baby sit the delivery on the items I order to begin with.

@DancinQueen  It's the UPS my choice ... premium membership.  You're correct, it's a yearly fee.  Sorry, I wasn't more clear.  As much as I order from Q, this saves me a ton of money instead of paying the separate fee to upgrade each package.

I paid for the UPS My Choice Plus and can't see that it makes one bit of difference.  Most of my packages seem to be a single garment which is too lightweight to be in the category that is covered so they're still delivered by USPS. If I have 2 or more packages, UPS always delivers them anyway without My Choice.  I wish I had my $19. back.

I don't have a real problem with USPS shipping, I don't babysit them, I just wait for them to come.  They are clothes or something I'm not having a crisis over, so it it is 3 days or 7 it's all the same to me.

I've had the UPS My Choice Plus for a few years now, and it has definitely made a difference for me.  I'm not just looking at QVC orders, but everything I order online, which at this point is a lot of stuff. 

I'm not sure if it might differ as to what part of the country you live in - I'm on the Gulf Coast, and you live out west if I remember correctly. 

Once in a while I have a package that can't be upgraded.  I get an email notifying me that it can't be upgraded, and it has something to do with the sender.  This happens once in a great while.  BTW most of my QVC orders are a single garment just like yours.

I'm sorry that it hasn't worked for you!  It reallly must have something to do with your local UPS hub (or your local USPS).
