Sounds like what my mom used to say.."the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" over at the Q, these days.
Other poster is right. That email does help to get things done.
I just got a response from that email address today regarding a return still "pending refund." My return, which, once I tracked it today, I saw that it was received back to them on 8/1, and no refund or communication at all from QVC.
Had to email them twice. They just processed it today, after I emailed a second time, to that address given here. And you know what the email said..."it will take up to 10 days to get the refund." So that's 20 days after they received the product back! Ridiculous. And had I not contacted them, who knows when it would have processed.
I've done other returns, with other vendors this summer. All refunds happened within 1-3 days. All of them had a system of communication to the customer. It wasn't on me to follow up. Some without even receiving the goods back yet, they refund you immediately.
Anyhow, good luck!
