How long has your Auto Delivery lasted?

[ Edited ]

This morning while using some products that are on auto delivery, one specifically was noted "as long as you remain in the plan" when I signed up.

 

It got me to thinking about what might be one of the longest times someone has remained in a plan, continuing to receive the original low (I suppose!) price that you initially signed up for.

 

I've only been shopping with QVC for around 18 months. I have signed up for some things that are good for one year, two years, and one with the "as long as you remain in the plan" promise attached to it.

 

I am interested in knowing if you have been in such a plan and how many years you have been getting the same thing year after year.

 

Also, is it true that the price has never changed? Sounds like a great deal if they don't increase the price, especially if you initially got it with free shipping. I suppose the only thing that would interrupt that continued service besides you stopping it is if the company went out of business or doesn't partner with QVC anymore.

Re: How long has your Auto Delivery lasted?

For all the AD's I"ve done - and still do --  I don't know how long any lasted.  I just know some have gone long enough that new products came about that I wanted to try, so I cancelled the old AD 

 

I'm thinking I had a Philosophy AD for a moisturizer for over 4 years.  The QVC price was better for all that time than I could find it elsehwre even on sale!. Then one day, they had a great offer on a different product and I bailed.

 

My idea is that as long as the offer works for me, I'm happy;  if they cancel it, I had whatever time with the product at a price I liked, but I understand why companies sometimes have to move on and I just take it as a chance for me to adventure a little.  

 

I know some people get all bent out of shape when an AD disappears, but I just think thr world works best when both sides of an agreement have more or less equal choices.  I don't want to have to stay in a plan I don't want any longer and I certainly don't want a hassle when I decide to change.  I know with some companies, it's almost impossible to get out with one click -   QVC has always been excellent that way. 

 

The AD's I've used have all been of great value to me -  and I appreciate the way they service them, too.  Thanks QVC!

Re: How long has your Auto Delivery lasted?

I've never picked a forever plan and the longest plan I've picked has been 2 years. I've also never completed an AD plan that's lasted that long without canceling before the end.I'm a product junkie and switch things up too often to stick with most things that long.

 

I do know there have been people who have had plans canceled by QVC, some because products were discontinued or dropped by QVC, and some, I think, because the AD price doesn't change, so QVC will end the program if the price of the item goes up to a point where it's detrimental to QVC.
