I'm a little confused. What is the difference between waitlist and advanced orders?

Dogs are God's most perfect creatures. Angels here on earth to teach us to be better humans.

With waitlist, you may or may not get your order, depending on what is returned or gets shipped.  With advanced orders, you will get your order, just not as soon as you'd hoped.

You don't always know when ordering now, if an order will turn out to be advanced; I assume because of supply chain irregularities.

What is an Advanced Order?

 

QVC may offer a product that's not yet ready to ship as an Advanced Order, making it available to be ordered now and then delivered at a future date.

 

The Available to Ship date (or week) is located in the item's description on QVC.com.  Your Order Confirmation email will include the estimated delivery date for your Advanced order.  The estimated delivery date provided is when your order is anticipated to arrive to you.  When you order an Advanced Sale item, a request for a minimal authorization amount ($0.00 - $1.00) will be reserved by the financial institution that issued your credit card at the time your order is placed. The full amount will not be charged until the time of shipment.

 

What does it mean if an item is only available through Waitlist?

 

The Waitlist option is offered when an item is sold out, and there is a reasonable expectation that the item will return to stock within 45 days. Although placing an order on our Waitlist is not a guarantee that stock will be received, it is a good way of reserving an item if it does come into stock. If we are unable to fulfill your order, you will be notified within 45 days.

Advanced orders are on the way.  You have an excellent expectation of receiving them.  Waitlist items are iffy depending on the availabi!Its of the merchandise.
