@suewags23 Like @LizzieInSRQ , I don't really understand cancelling your order. If you are new to QVC, never anticipate receiving an item quickly. It's just the way QVC flows. I never order anything that I must have within a few weeks. I must say, most items I receive within a week but I don't count on it.
I also don't continually check my orders and watch it change from backorder to processing, to backorder, etc. Perhaps some of my orders do this but I just don't bother to check. I only order when I feel I am getting the best deal I can so I would never cancel an order that I wanted and felt good about the price.
If the order process that QVC uses bothers you I would suggest not shopping here. They are known for having slow shipping.
