Items taking way tooooooooo long to ship

‎03-07-2017 01:20 PM

Something needs to be done about this.  I don't even want to order anything anymore cause I am never sure what year I am going to get it!

And just as bad is the method of shipping.  You get all excited to find that your order has shipped, only to find that it's shipped via the dreaded Mail Innovations.  Anything shipped that way.....count on at least 7-10 day

@BalletBabeI always look at the EDD just before I end my purchasing and if I don't like that date, I just don't order.

 

I virtually always get my QVC orders 2 ro 4 days before that EDD, and as long as I get it by the agreed date, I'm okay and really don't care when it ships.

 

The one thing that I want absolutely no part of is having to prepay for special shipping like Amazon.  I had Prime for a little while and realized it was a waste of money for me.

When it comes directly from the vendor I usually get it really fast.  If from QVC's warehouse........not so much.  Sometimes by the time the item arrives, I look at the box and wonder what it is.

 

QVC isn't the only one, though.  Evine usually sends jewelry items to arrive within a week, but clothing always takes 10-14 days.  The wearing season could be half over by then.  Strangely, the fastest shopping channel is ShopLC, and theirs is shipped all the way from Texas to here in NE Ohio.  I get their stuff in less than a week (they use a DHL to PO type of service, similar to Surepost or UPS mail innovations).

@BalletBabe  I ordered some running shoes directly from Nike a few days ago.  I just received an email from them that they were delivered.........I REALLY like that.  Now I even know to look for the box when I get home.

@Krimpette  @millieshops @2blonde  I agree with all of you, but having an order in process for 5 days is ridiculous.  EDD is the 10th.  There is no way that is going to happen.  It is diamonique so that should be ready to go as far as I am concerned. 

 

I ordered a clock last week from another company.  I ordered on Monday and it was delivered on Thursday.   Free shipping also.
