It's that time of year again, folks!
Soon the boards will be filled with threads claiming that Christmas was ruined because a package did not arrive in time.
It's a yearly tradition to have these threads, so place your bets now!
My guess?
30.
What's your guess?

Probably only one or two. I think most people understand December is a tricky month for deliveries, and also don't hinge their holiday happiness on whether or not a gift is late.
At least I hope so!

Too many. My family lives out of state, so everything I give as a gift either needs to be shipped or bought last minute in person. I know this. I've known for this for 20 years. It's on me to order in time to account for anything that could happen.
I especially worry about the advance order food delivery. Food delivery can be tricky enough already, but add food delivery, advanced orders, and the holidays and that always feels extra risky to me.

QVC didn't ruin my Christmas.
I order early, starting in July. I stop early. Returns until 1/31/20
I'm happy.

If that's what you're hoping for, you will probably be disappointed. LOL.

If the last few years haven't taught us to order early from QVC, I don't know what to tell you.

I had to wait over 10 days for two items I bought for myself from QVC--Bose, and Amazon Tablet. I would never order something from QVC that I bought for a gift after October.

i am getting everything in a timely matter from qvc.
no matter who i am buying from i expect a slip up or two and i dont let it ruin anything. there is no counting on usps, ups, amazon deliveries, and fedex once it is in their hands. if something is late, i print out a photo of it, box it up nicely, and let the person know it is on its way.
i try to remember the REAL reason for the season, the good will to men, and it isnt about a present arriving on time.
