Re: Why Do We Love QVC Forums?

I enjoy revisiting my childhood days. TV 📺 programs, toys 🧸 back in the day, fashions. We have so much in common.

Re: Why Do We Love QVC Forums?

People that I don’t know, and will never meet, cheer you on in the good times and support you when it’s tough. When you ask for recommendations or suggestions there are always people anxious to offer their experience.

Re: Why Do We Love QVC Forums?

I started reading the beauty forums on HSN, and then, if I recall, they shut theirs down for a time (many years ago) and I found this one.  There were, and are, so many knowledgable people posting, and I learned a lot.  I also get to share my experiences and help others as I've been helped.  

 

This is a great place to ask questions and get information on items before trying/buying something new.  I like the back and forth of the discussion more than merely reading reviews (which I really do appreciate).  And while I I don't generally ask about medical or personal things, it provides great support for people and I sometimes find a thread (like the recent one on migraines) that helps me as well as others.  

 

While we are all different, with different interests and needs, I know that I really value the time people take to respond and that they share some much information so willingly.  We are strangers, but we are a true community.

Re: Why Do We Love QVC Forums?

I will be honest, I like this forum for all the reason that you listed.  I've been contributing for quite a while so it's a habit with me now.  I do appreciate it when ladies share new products and when we all discuss fashion and styles and thoughts and opinions on the few non-QVC subjects were are allowed to discuss.  However, there's so much whining and moaning and groaning and complaining about prices and delivery times "everything was better back in the 90's" stuff that this board is getting tedius. Not to mention the constant trashing and bashing of specific designers.    I belong to other boards and FB groups and I just don't see all the complaining about things that aren't even a QVC issue. It's not QVC's fault if we cannot afford something.

Of course it is not QVC’s fault if you can’t afford an item. However since value is in their name, it irritated me when the price goes up , but the quality goes down. I think that is a valid complaint.

because it is a place to "go" when there may not be anywhere else to go, and a place to share within a group and belong.

@Cakers3   That is a wonderful post--and you just gave me my much needed laugh of the day.  Thank you.
