Seriously - I'm headed to BBB in a few minutes. Should I ask to see the manager and find out the margin on what I'm going to buy? Who knows that kind of stuff about 99.99999% of everything we buy?

Mail order bagels! Perish the thought! I have a bagel shop just down the street, and two more a couple of blocks away!

I saw them on Shark tank which has become one of my favorite shows and before Lori partnered with them the other lady I forgot her name made them an offer as well but she wanted them to cut ties with QVC.
They have a shop in the city so if I wanted to try them I would go there, but whichever direction I walk there are fresh bagels and I love Costcos bagels too.

When Barbara Corcoran made the statement that she would want them to sever ties with QVC-did you catch Lori's reaction?? The couple agreed that they would should they take the deal with Barbara and Lori said-"OOOOOOOOO, their not gonna like that". It sounded ominous to me. So, as I also did not see what happened after that, I am actually surprised that Lori got involved. I will have to go ask my son to rerun that part of the show. I do remember seeing that young lady on the presentation on the Q.
As for vendors absorbing returns--big companies, like department stores, always expected the manufacturer to take back unsold stock and problems-even if not warranted. I remember that is why my father preferred not to do direct business with them.. They also did not pay. The poor manufacturer had to send the goods and act as the store's bank for months. He said he had to pay for the raw materials, labor, and operating costs to make the items and could not keep a business operating under that system. That, or his family didn't need to eat and pay bills.

Sounds like QVC is a tough negotiator. Sort of like Walmart. Not sure I would go that route if I had a product and wanted to make a good profit. Selling on there would mainly work for items that looked deluxe but only cost pennies to produce.

When I was a kid Daddy would get me fresh bagels from Tuckers every Tuesday and Friday. They were the best and haven't had any that measures up. Today most bagels taste like hamburger buns w/ a hole in the middle.
