I watched last night's (10/16) show and again, I thought Ellen was so funny.  It was enjoyable, and I still think she and Carolyn work very well together. 

 

I may one day cave and try one of the ED Berkshire throws, but so far, the colors offered are just not quite what I'd need around here.

I also enjoyed the show, but didn't buy anything.

I have to wonder if the sales of her items will not be enough to sustain her staying on Q for very long. And just because things sell out, doesn't really mean they are selling a lot. They often only bring in a couple of thousand of any given item, and selling that out, with a big name like Ellen behind it, isn't really impressive enough to sustain her line.

 

I certainly hope she stays around, and I do like one or two things per show, but don't buy either. 


The problem is that the line rarely offers anything that we haven't seen before.  It's just variations on existing products, and often those variations are drab.  I think home decor shoppers on QVC are very savvy.  We shop here, because the offerings are unique. We want items that are not offerred in stores, or that our neighbors have, otherwise why would we pay for shipping and wait for the delivery person to show up?  When copies of those items, (i.e. another tree, blanket, candle, light string) are presented, it devalues the QVC experience. 


@PeterDM  DING,DING,DING!!!  Give that QVC customers a prize!!!  You hit the nail on the head PETERDM----QVC may have different vendors but I absolutely agree they ALL offer just variations of existing products!!!!  I mean why not leave flameless candles to Luminara and Candle Impressions---why does VPH also have to do flameless and really Berkshire, Basso, VPH and many others ALL have throws!!!  And some of VPH's figurals have scene on the skirt that is much like Jim Shore---And some of ED, YHJ, and VPH have similar garlands.......and why do we need a tree from ED when there's already similar styles BL, Santa Express, Mr. Christmas, Kringle Express (it's different if it's unique liked the flocked ones but the rest---same ole same ole)......And isn't ED's light strand a bit like what BL already offers???????????  Can't QVC coordinate the vendors doing home decor so customers have new, different, and a variety of merchandise...???????????????  Oh I know it's so much easier to let them all do the same thing and bore the customers, and not make sales!!!! 

 

Like so many I did enjoy the show---Ellen was funny and Ellen and Carolyn (my favorite host) make a GREAT team, but didn't buy a thing, not even tempted!

    I agree with you all...good show, but didn't purchase anything.  I also agree that all the vendors are using the same design/manufacture companies and now, most items look identical!  Many vendors are showing throws made by Berkshire and many vendors are showing Christmas trees that come in three pieces and have all types of light variations. Why not present vendors that offer different and unusual items???

I like this new Ed on Air ornament set that is online.  I don't know if it has been displayed on any of the show sets yet.  I missed the last show.  Too bad I already have so many ornaments very similar to these.  I just don't need them. 

 

I cannot figure out how to paste the photo in here.  QVC made some changes recently to their online photos and it has me stumped.

ED On Air 40 Piece Vintage Ornament Set by Ellen DeGeneres - H207156

 

@SHOPR  Best I can do with the picture.  Wish QVC hadn't changed the way it was, so easy to copy the pics.

Thanks for the link with precise instructions, @Eva-QVC.  

Is this going to be the permanent solution to sharing qvc-based photos on the forum, or will we ever be able to do the simple copy and paste again?

Hi @Eva-QVC

We no longer have an "enlarge" button.  Most of the images only have the mouse-over zoom with no control.

Those are the ones we cannot copy and paste.

 

For example, go here:  http://www.qvc.com/Stan-Herman-Two-Toned-Plush-Reversible-Cozy-Cuddler.product.A267678.html?sc=A2676...

Hello @GingerPeach! Thank yor your help with this issue. Here is the photo you suggested to look at on qvc.com. It shows the Enlarge option in the photos below the main photo. Every item has one. Is this not what you are seeing? If not, what device are you using?

Thanks!
