Want to add/replace some Christmas lights, etc.  While retail stores are selling Christmas decor at half price or so, the Q prices on these items have actually increased.  I was expecting to see reduced prices instead of increases.  I don't understand the Q's pricing.  This happens on other products as well and I'm not talking about one day or one time only items.  Oh well, moving on.

Yes, prices went up on the 26th.  I had my eye on 2 items; one is now $7 more and the other is just over $10.  Not ordering either.

I have a feeling they're holding back 2 of my AD food items because both are now offered with smaller portions and higher pricing.

 

I received an email telling me the items are back ordered and will be dayled or cancelled if they can't fill them.

Meanwhile the both items are available as I described above ... more $$$.

 

This has happened to me several times already. Nothing new.

You can call customer service, tell them the situation and you'd like to place a new order (as long as it is identical in quantity etc) for the older price and they will adjust once shipped.

@Biftu   I don't know what specific decor pieces you have been wanting, but I suspect over the next few weeks there will be more price drops/clearance added.

 

Since you are wanting Christmas type of items, you may want to check 'As Is'. Another suggestion is keeping the item/s in your wishlist and maybe they will have deeply discounted prices for them around the Christmas in July period.

 

There are a few items in my wishlist I am waiting for price drops.  Smiley Happy

Their seasonal pricing is a head scratcher. Last week I was looking at some Halloween decor. You would think they would want to clear the inventory rather than hold on to it. 


Why is this company struggling? Hummmm.
