Re: Beware ...Bait and Switch!!!

It's probably because some shoppers ordered it and then cancelled their orders so the items went back in stock.

Re: Beware ...Bait and Switch!!!

I think the OP prefers to have the argument here and disappointment or annoyance with QVC than to accept any logical explanation for her experience.

 

There’s a difference between being right and righteous.

 

All that indignance over something so many people can explain with logic and common experience. It usually means someone likes complaint more than understanding.

 

Buy the bag you want that became available and stop complaining about something so many people know has no malice in it. Which is better:  lighting a candle or cursing the (perceived) darkness?

Re: Beware ...Bait and Switch!!!

This is not bait and switch.

 

You are accusing QVC of something they did not do.

 

Look up what it means.  I do not think QVC would ever even hint at such a tactic.

 

You were upset because what you wanted ended up not being available when you wanted it.  At a later time, it became available because other shoppers cancelled their orders.

 

Simple as that.
