I didn't know anything about this but I don't order a lot from the Q these days.  But I, like you, I have pretty much been with them since day one.  And back in the day, I had a Q card and ordered a lot - I mean a lot!  I am also retired, so I can't spend as freely as I used to, and I appreciate any extra offers that are given.  While I can understand giving free shipping to new customers as an incentive to bring them on board, I think giving them free shipping for 3 1/2 months is kind of unbelievable!  As you said, wouldn't it be a good thing to have another promotion and reward long-time customers in the same way?  This would given an indication that --- We appreciate your loyalty to us!  


@AngelPuppy1   You are so sweet!   I like you too.  I won't leave my forum friends.  I woke up this morning thinking that maybe something for the weekend?  Silly me.  Nothing again.  I hope all the new people buy one or two things and then vanish.  Any long time person that continues to support this is crazy.

 

Q does not have the best prices IMO.  In fact , I think most times they are way over priced. Amazon is the way to go in most cases.  I bought some beautiful Cardigans from them and I would have paid triple for a Cardigan here.   So IMO New people won't stay.

I got up this morning thinking they might do something for long term customers.   BUT   NOPE   I received my last order today.   I will not support QVC anymore.  To me what they have done is slap us in the face.  QVC has so many problems.  Let's go over some of those.

Hosts that run around like they are children

 

Hosts that don't give the details about the merch, because they are more interested in talking about Disney and their daughters.

 

High Prices, shipping problems, waitlists that are never fulfilled, orders not shipped sometimes for a week to 10 days.

 

Kathy Levin should have showed QVC what a real host does.  Describes the Merch in full detail, having a great personality to make the show enjoyable.  That is what Q used to be.  Kathy didn't talk about all of her Family members, including the dead ones.  She didn't make the show about HER. 

 

Q pays no attention to the people's complaints on these boards.  Some of us have stuck it out through all of this nonsense.  This is what we get???  Sorry Folks.  Not Me.

Did you think they were going to end a planned promotion just because some people on this small board are upset about it?  Qvc is not a charity, they don't care which is on a fixed income.  They care about sales and bringing in new customers.  It's possible that in the coming weeks, the free shipping promotion will generate sales and new customers.  Or perhaps not.  We will never know but QVC risks nothing because the established customers who are upset about it will continue buying things.  But I do think QVC will give us some free shipping days to boost sales.
