Re: One Day Only & Other Rants

@Waterwoman, I also have been watching and buying from QVC for as long as they've been on tv. And I also remember that the earlier hosts presented in a calmer, efficient and thorough manner.  Which makes me wonder why the current hosts may be instructed to be "amped up".  Those earlier hosts may have been a little boring compared to some current hosts, but the earlier hosts were the ones who helped build QVC into what it is.  They certainly must have been good for business, and the current business seems to be floundering somewhat.  So why go so far in this new direction?

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......


@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.


@RespectLife , It is easy to hide bullying behind " oh it's only my opinion." I hate it and I will respond when appropriate, and of course you can do the same.

Petty, stupid and witless a few of the comments made about the OP’s post. I’d say those are words a bully uses. You are right @QVCkitty1   then they use the I’m entitled to my opinion.

 

If you can’t use those word toward a co-worker, neighbor, or someone in the grocery store then don’t use them here.

What is your definition of a "valid" criticism?

Re: One Day Only & Other Rants

Another sales tactic I don't like is when a host says my producer just told me that the color yellow is the next to go, so if you want it in yellow hurry up and call customer service to order it. Talk about high pressure sales tactics.

not enough info about a product, messed up easy pay, shipping issues, not telling the customer about advance order, website not working properly.

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.

 

 


@Waterwoman  - I so agree with @manny2 .  You don't need to apologize to anyone for your posts!  Please continue to post rants or anything else.  Those not interested can move on to another thread.

Re: One Day Only & Other Rants

The only thing that bothers me is the items that are on "sale" for one hour only or only during that particular presentation.

 

I'm sure many of us record shows because we're working, busy, or even sleeping!  It's kind of a bummer when I forward through a recorded show, have interest in an item, and want to purchase it, only to find that it was on sale during that particular timeframe.

 

However, I have noticed that many of the items on sale for a short period of time only increase by a few dollars after the show is over.  Not a deal breaker for me.

Valid Criticism:  Continuing to point out the excessive Free Shipping promotion given solely to new customers,  while existing customers received no equal or comparable benefit.

 

Absolutely valid to continue discussion about this, in my view.

Valid Criticism or  Constructive Criticism ?? Call it what you want.........I'm all about giving my opinion, but the passive aggressive comments on these boards are pretty funny
