It sounds like a cost negotiation broke down especially since QVC pulled all the item numbers off at once. That's very disappointing. Thanks for sharing the information, Mallemo. At least now we know the company line, if not what will actually happen.

Sounds like contract negotiations cannot be reached ............. I love their candles, but One Kings Lane is very expensive!

Well, Their message did seem to emphasize the temporary nature of it, so I hope they will actually be returning to QVC, and at the same or similar prices.

The weird thing is they weren't all pulled at once. Better than half the first pull. Then a day or two later, the rest. This doesn't help my quandary. I ordered 2 candles, sent one back. Instead of waiting on a replacement, I ordered right away. They were pulled a day or two after I ordered and my order went to advanced sales. I don't want just one. With no date in sight, do I send my one back?

If I wanted two of that specific candle really bad, I think I would message Susan Matthews on FB and explain how you got caught right in the middle of this ordeal and need some direction. CS is of no help in this kind of situation, as you learned. Someone closer to the company could possibly shed some more light. It might be worth a try.

About the candles getting pulled in two batches: If I remember correctly, the first ones to disappear were the ones seen on air and promoted on Q, and were likely in Q's possession. The remaining ones after that were the ones we never see presented. I can't think of the correct word to call that kind of merchandise. Think of how Valerie has a selection of wreaths, arrangements, chairs, rugs, headboards, etc. that never get presented. They just remain there on the website, like they aren't even stocked by QVC.
