Re: One Day Only & Other Rants

Keep on posting what you want just as others do. Comments can often be rude so just ignore.

@Witchy Woman I agree and have done the same.

Why offer something that is going to run out in one hour. So tiresome.

Also, why are all the hosts "Obsessed"

Why do the hosts seem "Amped" up -sometimes just turn the channel -

@Waterwoman Are you sure you hit everything about which you have a complaint? Why are you asking fellow customers these questions? We aren't QVC "insiders".

Because she is venting/ranting, as the title clearly states....

The limited time offers are popular with many retailers now, especially online. The "Flash" sales for X amount of hours only. It is supposed to keep you tuned in to their channel and/or website so that you get the 'best' deals.

Not only are the hosts and vendors 'obsessed' with everything, a lot of people everywhere seem to be obsessed too. At least that's what I see and hear. It's apparently one of the new 'in' sayings.🤷‍♀️

As for all the hosts being 'amped' up, it's been speculated that they're being told to be 'enthusiastic' by those behind the scenes. But once again, I notice this in other media areas lately too. Sometimes my local news anchors speak so fast I can hardly understand them.

In other words, QVC isn't necessarily doing anything others aren't.

What on earth is going on with people? The complaints on here day after day are so petty and stupid. For every valid criticism, I see 15 ridiculous ones.

So, you are complaining about complainers? Think about it.

Uh Oh...I just had a thought...

I see comments here that some Auto Ships have been cancelled, and I notice a LOT of hosts saying " there will be no re-order"....

And a lot of the vendors (and QVC) appear to be selling down stock...

Maybe they ARE going belly up....and the hosts don't care any more, hence the non-stop "honeys", the "Happy Dance" ( Not for the food, but because retirement is looming at last)...

After all...supply chains are opening up, China announced today they are going to look at ending or modifying Covid restrictions ( so more factories will make stuff to send here)...

Uh Oh.....I hope the new hosts didn't just get a mortgage....!!!

Sorry you feel that way - my rant is the first one in over 40 years of watching QVC - I've seen many changes and just recently noticed the ones I mentioned. It has been very obvious in the last month.

I guess no one else noticed, so I'm very sorry if I offended.

Please don’t apologize to anyone on this board. @Waterwoman You can rant about anything you want to rant about. They don’t get to make that call.

If they are offended let them pass by the thread. Very simple.

I guess we have nothing better to do than express our disappoinment with a shopping channel that has changed (for the worse) over the years.

Shame on us -

I didn't think I was complaining, I said it was a "rant" - just wondering if anyone else had noticed.

Similar to the post about hosts interrupting vendors, or talking too much about their animals.....

Sigh......

Yes, @Waterwoman a lot of us notice. You can’t help but notice. The hosts are out of control at times. The high-pressure urgency they are trying to create does not work on a lot of us.

QVC is trying to reinvent, and they are not doing a good job at it.

Only solution is change channel, or put on mute or if you really want am item buy it because the prices on items change almost every day !

Prices change every day on Amazon as well...and they won't give you a sale price credit even after 1 day.....SO frustrating and why I rarely shop there.

I don't care how fast it comes....

@Waterwoman , You have every right to your opinion. What I'n tired of are the posters who try to control what people post. If it is inapproiate the mods will take care of it. Don't be intimidated by the " board police ."

@QVCkitty1

Just because people make a suggestion you are sick of hearing doesn't make them Board Police!

NO one is trying to control @Waterwoman

They just have something to say on the matter presented....they are just as much allowed!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and OWN posts...even the ones that include gasp..."Change the channel or 'Mute'....a simple solution that many don't seem to get.

If people feel better after getting it off their chests, that's fine. We feel 'heard' when others agree with us.

But we don't have the right to control those who don't either.
