I think people "put in cart" and hog stuff till they get the money to pay for.

 

We folks that already have the money don't get it unless QVC goes ahead and takes it out of a persons

cart and gives to a credit card buyer.

 

If you notice now during every show the host will say "don't leave in your cart check out now". Even the venders will remind people.

 

Omg...lol.  That was years and years ago.  Things only stay in your cart for 30 minutes and they yank them.  They REMIND people to complete the sale because there is such a short window to do it.

It seems like within 1 year QVC has really gone down hill.  It's almost impossible to get customer service anymore.

 

I think they (QVC) is in the business of going out of business.

 

Whomever is running the company these days seems to be doing their best on running it into the ground.

 

I guess it's like so many other things..............

Poked around online, and according to woman's RTW industry stats, the most popular sizes in the US are 16 and 18. It used to be size 14.

What's interesting is that I've been reading this same comment for years and years and years. I first noticed it when I was reading a thread complaining about the hosts, shipping, and how QVC wasn't long for this world. Nothing to differentiate it from all the other threads on the Q Talk forum until I noticed it had been bumped up from 2016! Smiley Very Happy

You sound good, @Annabellethecat66.  I do hope you have checked in with your doctor if your weight loss isn't intentional though.

Re: How Do Clothes Sell Out So Fast? Who's Buying them?

Regarding women's clothes selling out quickly, some women have interesting buying habits. Erin Andrews, former Dancing with the Stars co-host, said in an interview that she buys three of everything she's interested in. One in her size, one a size smaller, and one a size larger. She then tries on all three and returns the two she doesn't like the fit of as much. If multiple customers follow that same approach, then every sale is three sales followed by two returns. That would quickly deplete the store's stock of "new" items while quickly overflowing them with returned items. Clothes would sell out quickly

There's a group that wishes QVC would go out of business....lol.  You're right, we've been seeing that type of comment for many years.  Probably since this board started.

I suspect they don't want to carry a large inventory and keep it very small.  That's my theory.
