Why hasn't QVC done an Insta Pot, or did I just miss it?

Yet another friend has bought some sort of instant pot.  These people are out of town, so I can't check them out in person.  What do I need to buy?  I count on QVC for the latest trends, and if they don't carry an item I figure there is some flaw with them.

Maybe Instant Pot does not want to sell on QVC. They must be selling enough on their own without giving a portion of their profit to QVC to sell it.

They offer them on Amazon plus have good Black Friday deals. If you want one I would wait until then.

Are you saying products have a flaw if they are not being sold on QVC??? That's crazy.

Sounds like you don't need to buy anything. Just because your friends bought one? There's other places to shop.

I think you missed the recent Instant Pot QVC TSV.  It is a favorite in the kitchen...for me, a must have.

QVC sold the Instant Pot in March and it sold out very fast. Instant pot will come out with 2 new versions this year but more$$$.

@Nightowlz They had an Instant Pot on two Sunday's ago, it sold out during the presentation, I bought one put in on a check, then changed my mind and put in on my Visa, 3 days later,I was then informed that it went to Advance Order, I doubt I will get it now, do they not speak about putting it on a check that you have 7 days to get them their money, why do they offer check payment if they oversell and put on advance order or Waitlist, 4 of my items I ordered  and put on check either went to Waitlist or Advance order when their was quantity available at the time I ordered, Beware if you choose to order and put on check, I think that is kind of underhanded business practice.  My Instant pot went on Advance order stating 03/28/2018 but expected delivery is not until later in April and it still sits in Advance order status?

Instant Pot has been around for a few years, and Q just sold one recently

 

if you want to find out all about them check Amazon, they sell huge quantities and there will be reviews and questions 

 

unless you are canning or making yogurt the 6qt is fine

@CareBears- ALL of the orders during that day it was on with David were advanced orders and won't ship until this month some time, so it wasn't because of your check status. Just letting you know. I did order mine, but don't really need it, so will see if it is "all that" and if I am willing to part with my pressure cookers, slow cookers, and rice cookers!

 

Also, it has been discussed many times that check order does not save an item for you until they get and cash your check. If they have a credit-card-in-hand shopper willing to spend the money right now, they will not hold your item in case you actually do send a check. So, if you really want something, either put it on a credit card or be willing to see it go to an advance order or waitlist. Many people never send their money in but just want to hold the item while they think about it, which is not fair to those who are willing to buy it now.
