Exchanges —

I immediately called CS regarding 2 exchanges I wanted to process on 3/10 spoke with Tanya.

I put the return together and took to USPS on 3/11. I was advised by Tanya a exchange was being processed -- obviously she was wrong because QVC has to get product back before exchange can be processed.

Today I checked the status of my return - no updates still at USPS.

I've never done exchange just wondering how long it will take! At this point I don't even want the items ...

Thank you!

@homedecor1 - I'm glad you got your exchange processed. I typically have good luck with exchanges, even if they do sometimes take awhile. If it is helpful for future reference, after I complete the exchange form (whether a physical version or online), these are the steps I follow for the best results:

1) Document the tracking number.

2) Drop off the exchange package at the courier.

• If it's USPS, get a receipt for your records.
3) Check the tracking details to confirm when the package has been processed.

• If USPS, wait until the system shows the agent has picked up.

• If UPS, wait until the package is scanned at a new location (not drop-off).

4) Wait one extra day and then contact customer service or the social team.

• Sometimes they can help as soon as the package moves, but waiting
that single extra day ensures that all the tracking systems are updated.
And it's advisable not to contact them on a Sunday; coverage is limited.

• Provide the details for the original order and the exchange request.

• Provide the tracking number (they usually have it, but it can be helpful).

The representative should be able to tell you whether your desired exchange item is in stock and process the exchange immediately if it is or refund immediately if it isn't. I've never been charged for shipping when doing this (but to be fair, I think I've only been charged once or maybe twice with the usual wait-for-return-to-QVC approach). The notes the reps leave in the system to indicate the exchange has been processed seem to wrap things up perfectly.

And FWIW, I always continue to track the return package to make sure it arrives at QVC; typically, they email you after they process it, but I'm signed up with all the couriers' alert systems so it's simple to check on delivery progress/status.
