And with many of us shrugging along as well.  @FancyPhillyshopper spoke accurately and realistically.

First ... Welcome!  Woman Happy

 

Second ... @FancyPhillyshopper  is right.

 

If it comes in a timely manner, celebrate. 

 

If it is needed asap, pay extra for expedited shipping.

 

Having said that, the last two things I ordered from QVC were received within 5 days of ordering.

 

Shocked the heck out of me.  


@Tinkrbl44 

 

5 items maybe 6 will arrive within a week of ordering.  It's great!

@bananacreampie , I get it. I always know that it might take some time to get what I order from QVC so if it's something I need in a hurry, I don't buy it here. I have gotten the Tracfones from either QVC or HSN for many years now and since you never know how long it will take to ship, I always buy a bit early. That's the only advice I can give you but I do understand the frustrations of waiting so long to have something sent out to you. I have bought some things that have taken forever to ship too and it's very frustrating, because other things ship almost immediately. I just ordered a tracfone two days ago and it shipped yesterday. That really took me by surprise! I thought it would be a few days, which honestly, is ridiculous in today's world. So I understand your frustrations. We shouldn't have to pay for expedited shipping to get something in a timely manner. I hope you get yours in time before your time runs out on your current phones and I hope you enjoy your new phones!

Is the vendor shipping them? If so, it's always slow. 

 

Sometimes it's best to shop around or go to a local store and get thngs.


@CalminHeart, unfortunately, you can't get the bundles for tracfones like you can here or HSN. Nobody else offers that.

Both Walmart (online, not in-store) and eBay have some packages very similar to the shopping channels. (Phone and a one-year service deal.)  Be sure on eBay that the seller is Tracfone. You don't get the case or car charger, but the case you do get isn't worth much, and how many car chargers does one person really need?
