I just got back from the post office returning my broken gold sleigh. The qvc return label is a cost of $8.95 so once I get my credit I will look to see if they took off the $8.95 or not. I am happy I have a perfect silver sleigh to enjoy this year by my tree. I have a Santa I will put in it or a candle and silver balls and greenery. So many ideas with this sleigh.

If an item is defective, the return postage is free, but good to check and make sure it was done.

Yes return postage is free but for the last 3 items I returned that were defective/damaged I got charged the return postage. I always check now and call if the item was charged return shipping. Some people don't check.

I always call customer service before I return something, and supposedly, they make a notation that there will be no return postage, whether this helps avoid the situation, don't know, but it might, I still check.

It is amazing how many folks who get defective/damaged items think they still have to pay for return postage! It boggles the mind ${#emotions_dlg.blink}$

I have read countless reviews for Q items and comments are made like:

Well, I'm just going to throw it away because I won't pay for postage to return it...

There is another example...check item #V32264. Currently there are only 2 reviews...one of them is related to this issue.

I wish I could just send these folks an FYI message sometimes...then I think it would take so long it would be a full time job. That is how many folks think the same...just nuts!

Mousiegirl, like you, I always check to make sure they credited my S&H on defective/damaged goods...about 1/2 the time they don't in the returns dept, but they will when you call CS

Speaking of reviews, do yours show up with your nic or as "anonymous"?

On 10/30/2014 PeterDM said: Arrived broken. Going back. I'm going to get the one on Wild Orchid Quilts. Much bigger, nicer, and made of a more durable material.

Peter, which one are you considering?

I am enthralled by this one, but the price!! $117, 22x13, on sale, from $175!

Hi Whitelinen! I don't mean to hijack your thread, and hope Peter DM (who has great taste IMO, by the way), sees your question. This is a beautiful, unique sleigh, but $117 is out of my price range. I am hoping to find one locally in one of the cut rate price stores I frequent. What are you going to do? Have you been bitten by the sleigh bug like most of us have? ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$

Hi Rose you sweetie!! Have not talked to you in a while. I hope you and yours are all well and happy and looking forward to the holidays. Not much time left before the festivities!!

I guess I'm being swept along with the sleigh ride, a little late as usual. I have trouble visualizing the good stuff but when people post their private pics, I get hooked!! All it took was one look at SL's pic (think it was hers anyway) and now I want it of course.

Did you manage to snare one?

I am in complete agreement about the Q's practice of ordering small amounts of items they know will be a smash. Lisa R had to realize she had a home run in this sleigh.

Just makes me disgusted with the Q.

Hi Whitelinen~ we are all well-thanks for asking. Hope you and yours are, too!

I am the same way as you- I don't just come up with decorating ideas on my own-it takes a little imputes to get me going. I probably would have never thought to buy a sleigh, had it not been for the discussion here. But I am hooked, too. I didn't get a Lisa sleigh-I was out of town on the friday that it became available. So I am on the hunt for one, but the criteria that I have, is that I don't have a lot of money to spend. So the chances of finding one that I like is rather small. I love the one PeterDM ordered, but it is way too expensive for me.

I know what you mean about the selling tactics going on here. My opinion, is that it is hype meant to create hysteria, with these small numbers of items being available for purchase. How could they not know that this item was going to be a home run?

I hope you find a sleigh that you love and can afford, if you really want one. If you have the time, keep popping into Marshalls, or HomeGoods or TJMaxx, or any other off price stores in your area.

Oh, and if you are interested in using any owls in your decor for the season, I suggest you go to Dollar Tree and look at theirs. I appreciate that they are not the same quality or look at a RAZ or Lisa owl, but I am not a snob when it comes to home decor knock offs. I am going to use them and think they are great looking for the price. I plan to use a lot of white in my entry hall this year, so the owls will work out nicely. On the long table that I have, I plan to do a wintery vignette of large glass finials that are sprayed with snow inside, silver mercury glass lit trees that I recently picked up at Big Lots, snow sprayed pinecone trees from Big Lots this year, and maybe that pretty beverage decanter cloche idea that someone put a posted a photo of here. I bought sweet little silver putz houses at World Market that I will use inside to create that look. The owls will be worked into garland on my banisters. I got rid of all of my ugly garland many years ago, so I will have to find some nice garland locally that I can use. Some white glittered picks and ribbon would be a nice look to add to the garland, along with some pinecones. I am going for a natural look with a little glamour.

Rosehill I just LOVE your entry hall plan! The white & silver will look spectacular. Natural plus glamour, sounds so nice. We used to have a World Market here, but it closed several years ago. I think the putz houses inside will be fantastic. I hope you can take some pics of the cloche and the wintery vignette of finials. Such good stuff! All my faves.

Very exciting, would just love to see it all!!

Anonymous, and customer service doesn't have a clue, naturally.

A lot of reviewers use 'anonymous'.

the weird things are: I don't use "anonymous" it just shows up that way. And if I click to review a second time it will pull the review with my nic on it, saying I already reviewed.

beats the heck outta me

My question to customer service was why isn't my nic used, and they have no clue. I thought if someone had a nic, it was automatically used.

Ditto! You would think that customer service would have an answer, but nada.

If anyone is still looking for a similar sleigh, I posted this also in another thread. Here is one on Wind & Weather. Very similar in size to Lisa's -13-1/2"L x 5"W x 6-1/2"H. It is priced @ 29.99, S&H 8.99. I think the S&H is high, but hopefully packed well & comes intact. It says it has an antiqued carved wood look.
