Yet QVC has tried to promote their shopping experience as a place to hang out, i.e. "friends" having wine together while shopping, encouraging hosts to talk about themselves or family so we will feel part of their circle. David in the kitchen saying he is not a chef but just like us at home etc."

I agree with you. The whole QVC set-up is of a big happy family. That is why you see the hosts sitting on sofas drinking either wine or coffee at the start of their programs. You also hear hosts talking constantly about the cosmetics they used for their weddings and the household items that they have in their homes. QVC is promoting a lifestyle so people can feel that they part of their "family" and get them to buy more products.

@bohogypsy You've been registered since 2010 and have 89 posts? Then this? Really?

Ax to grind perhaps? Ex employee?

@Sooner I recall this poster commenting very infrequently and is never too pleasant.

@rms1954 How do you like the classy way that they announced it to the many of us who have supported them for over 30 years? No explanation, no apology, no nuthin'. That alone made me furious.
QVC is a business, not your boyfriend. They do not owe us an explanation or permission. Shop here or don't. QVC is a retail store. If you need companionship or emotional support then join a support group or get some therapy. Sorry to sound harsh, but that is the way it is.

@RealtyGal2 There are 3 people I won't miss when they're gone. You're #2. What a completely riduculous statement.

I wasn't aware that how many posts you have or how long you've been was important. But since you pointed it out, it looks like you have 23,000 posts. That would be about 6 posts a day, EVERY day, for 10 years. That makes me sad for you. I can see why the loss of the forums might be an issue for you. But there are probably better ways to address your issues than an online message board. Best of luck to you.

Well yes, your post does sound harsh. Many of us are on here to share ideas, and reviews about products we've purchased. This is how we learn how to decorate, cook, and brainstorm. Emotional support? Yes, some people need that. And that's what this was....SHARING!

No one I know said they wanted to date QVC... Businesses depend in large part on customer loyalty and this is surely no way to promote it...

@bohogypsy - I have to disagree with a lot of what you said. First, I'm not crazy about the negative posts about hosts either. I don't think a post about liking or disliking a particular host just because should be allowed. However, I do think we should be allowed to post positives and negatives about HOW a host presents items.

I think a lot of us know the vendor you're referring to with your comment about "outdated fashion and gaudy jewelry." That is YOUR opinion. It might not be what you would wear, but I think of the items as classic and timeless. In my line of work a nice dress and jacket or a classic pair of pants, turtleneck (in cooler weather of course), and jacket are appropriate and what we usually wear.

Finally, about easy pay - I take advantage of this sometimes. I hope others who read this don't think it's a "joke." I have children who are millennials. Have you ever heard of "after pay"? They're all using it. I was surprised to see some popular cosmetic lines now offering it too!

Maybe you haven't posted here much to say how much you like an outfit you bought here, to ask advice about what color eyeshadow is best for your eye color, to see what is new at Trader Joe's, to ask if anyone is familiar with a certain brand of shoes, to ask about the size of a handbag, to ask advice about parenting, to share something special that happened to you, to remember popular movies you've seen, to share your love of a jewelry line, to share a story about pets, or just to know there are people who "listen" and care.

I always say I was later to QVC than most. I have a busy life, and I was a member of a few other forums. I dropped out of the rest. I see this as a safe place, where I know outlandish postings won't be allowed.

I'm not "whining about things that are laughable." I'm simply stating my opinion. I think the forums should stay!

Right?!! OMG - right on.

@haddon9 When the discussions and information sharing we have here is gone I am CERTAIN that I will be purchasing much less from QVC.

I have bought many, many QVC items based on the recommendations from fellow forum members from mattress toppers to throws, to beauty items, gardening, fashion items, home decor, toys, and my favorite--kitchen and food.

January and February are the months when my QVC purchases are very low; guess that will change earlier this time.

In any event, these are my thoughts at the moment.
