I have not read this entire thread but based on the subject agree that the programming has been horrible. I have learned over the years to buy what I want early due to so many shipping issues in December. Right now seems like it's one big warehouse sale every time I turn it on so rarely watch. I doubt it gets much better in January because that is when garden shows start!! As one poster mentioned most beauty products are now available locally or elsewhere with everyday free shipping. Q needs to go back to the drawing board on the shipping issue if they want to stay competitive with other retailers. Easypay is not an incentive for me.

Easy pay (which they mentionn constantly) is not an incentive for me.  I'm sure it gets a lot of people into a credit card mess too.  The last item I ordered was the Philosophy TSV last week.  Haven't received it yet nor is there any tracking information.  I don't intend to place any more orders this month and I'm sure the January programming will be even more boring.  I am doing most of my shopping elsewhere even though I ordered the majority of my items from QVC years ago.  The shipping too costly, too slow and the quality of items is not what it was when I became an avid shopper.   I also do not enjoy the "hard sell" from the hosts now.

Echoing many of the comments made here about programming.  The only saving grace for me in all of this is that I've spent more time at the gym, library, taking walks and visiting my son and sister.  The day goes by just fine.

I'm so BEYOND BORED with the programming. Its nothing but "gift ideas". There's no rhyme, nor reason to any show - just hard goods. What happened to the fashion shows, jewelry shows, even beauty programming? Not everyone wants to buy "gadgets" and see 1-hour programming for pillows, or electronics. Zzzzzzzz!

@Effie54, and let’s not forget the ENDLESS reincarnation s of blankets! Oh my gosh, it’s like they have nothing else to offer! And the ad nauseum presentations of that guy and the humidifiers. At least we haven’t had to watch the flash pads!

That humidifier and the guy reading the same thing from a piece of paper over and over, Number 1, Number 2, etc. makes me change the channel.  I guess I watch too much because the repeat presentations really annoy me.  Oh, and of course, #3, helps with lines and wrinkles - oh please, QVC sells enough products for that purpose and I don't think a humidifier is going to make a big difference on anyone's face!

QVC had a horrible Holiday season. This is the worst one in memory and I go back to the days at CVN. I hope their sales suffered so the CEO can see that viewers were not interested. Way too much repetition. Very few good deals. Honestly I only bought 1 item from them. They need to step up their game big time in 2018. I always keep QVC on in my home, sometimes 10-15 hours a day even as background noise, I enjoy some of the Hosts. But I am thinking of going to another channel if the sad state continues. They need to bring back Kathy Levine to add some spice to their lineup. Women of a certain age do not enjoy these cookie cutter hosts.
