Jst say NO to Generic Shoe Boxes - Page 6

I am guessing they stopped using boxes at all for some shoes just to save on shipping...even though they still charge enough to send in a box.

I think the lack of an original box makes it suspect that the shoes are not new...or are imperfect “seconds”. QVC’s shoes are so overpriced it will never be an issue for me

here is what i assume if i received something in a generic box and it looked in perfectly new condition......shoes or jewelry in particular.

boxes were damaged en route from the manufacturer. qvc keeps generic boxes on hand so that these damaged boxes are not shipped out to the customer.

boxes were damaged OR not used if someone was making a return of a perfectly good new pair of shoes or jewelry. again, qvc keeps generic boxes on hand to repackage the items and ship them out.

this is my thought exactly. if they are ordering 1000's of shoes, how much more is it in shipping weight, if they are all in boxes, compared to not.

personally, i don't care either way. if they look pristine, i'm good.

Just use a magic marker on the box. Not a problem.

Duh ..... It's pretty surprising what people consider major "problems". LOL

I worked with a woman who would buy shoes tell the store to keep the box so she could sneak the shoes into the house with the groceries and her husband didn’t know she had bought another pair of 👠. I thought that was clever!

I want the shoe box from the manufacturer. It's the way I keep my closet organized. We all have different systems, but I need the box and NOT a generic box.

I'll just buy shoes elsewhere.

Not gonna lie, I thought about this thread and laughed as I put 3 shoe boxes in my recycle can last night. LOL

Me, too! The minute I know I am keeping them, the shoe boxes go out to the recycling bin. I don’t want cardboard in my home any longer than necessary. They attract bugs. I thought everyone knew that but I guess not.

I only keep shoes that I wear occasionally in shoe boxes. My everyday shoes are stored on the shoe shelves in my California Closet.

The shoe boxes are stored on the top shelf and I need a step stool to get to them. To make it easier to know what's in the boxes, I took a picture of the shoes and taped it to the box. Now I can find the shoes I need without opening every box to have have a look.

This sounds like a really great way to be organized.

I put my shoes in those plastic shoe boxes that you can get at the Mart stores.

When I had kitties, they liked to lay on my shoes and take naps on them and flatten them.

I had decided then, that it would be better to put them in shoe boxes, or if the shoe boxes that they originally came in were sturdy enough, I could just keep them in there.
