Re: Why are people still ordering???

[ Edited ]

USPS has had a banner message on their website for weeks stating that there was a delay in regular ground shipping but not with expedited.  I don't see the banner today.

I snagged an “as is” Denim and Co. top this morning that I wanted. It was $10.50. Now that is a good price! All the “as is” items I have ordered seem like they are brand new.

I ordered something on July 15th, it shipped on the 16th and I got it yesterday, Sunday July 19th. Why I can get something that fast, and other things take forever, is a mystery.

Re: Why are people still ordering???

I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years, but even I have called a STOP as far as ordering.  3-4 weeks for a delivery is ridiculous, and that has been my experience lately. 

I have recently ordered from many other retailers...Macys, Sally Beauty, Target, and Amazon. ALL orders came in less than a week.

Actually, to correct my above post, the top was $9.50. But the app would not let me change it to one payment, so I got stuck with 3 easy pays.

At the beginning of the pandemic everyone was having trouble shipping.  Now it seems everyone has it under control except for Talbots and QVC.  Even a company as large as Amazon is prompt and I do not have Prime.

Re: Why are people still ordering???

I stopped ordering after my last Q order in May took 6 weeks to arrive.  I was just happy I didn’t have to return or exchange it.  I have not encountered the long shipping times on other websites.   I’ll wait to order from the Q when they get shipping back to a reasonable time.

People still need various things, so they keep trying.  I have been burned so often, by many sites, that I am now just frozen.  But the list is getting longer, since everything can't come via grocery pickup.

I haven't had any issues when ordering something.  It arrives ususally before the EDA.   Just don't try to return anything.

Re: Why are people still ordering???

I purchased the TSV Lock and Lock freezer bag, what sold me on it was the crossbody strap. Very useful for when I walk to the convenience store.

 

I received it pretty quickly. Perhaps it depends on what warehouse it's coming from.

 

I've also purchased a few Korres items from HSN-very fast shipping.
