I'm in the Northeast...I just recently ordered HSN DG2 jeans, they were in processing for about a week, then shipped and I got them the next week.
QVC has been about the same...in processing about a week, sometimes a little longer, then once it ships I get it within about 4-5 days. There was only one auto-delivery Philosophy set that got delayed by about 5 weeks over my "due date."
I really haven't had anything too terrible when it comes to deliveries with QVC or HSN. However, I'm not talking things I'm hoping come in in time for Christmas. And also, I will say, all other venders I've ordered from, about 5 different ones...all were quicker, didn't take a week to process, usually only a day.
