Do a lot of people buy the food offered on QVC? 

 

Sometimes I see things that look really good but I don't order it.  Mostly because it is very expensive and I worry about how it will arrive.  

 

Assuming it is packaged properly it should be OK.  But then I think about how to dispose of the packaging.

I've ordered Cinnamon crumb cakes from Jimmy the Baker before they cut the size down, and they were delicious.

 

Also have gotten bacon wrapped stuffed turkey breasts and bbq pork loin from Corky's and both were outstanding.

 

All those were TSV's and I also had a coupon I could use at the time, so it cut the price significantly.

Yes, I do buy food items from QVC. I have only been disappointed with 2 items, and frequently order steaks, burgers, Cheryl's cookies, potstickers, Mrs Prindables apples, cinnamon rolls, and bagels.  Everything has arrived in great shape and I've never needed to ask for a refund.

 

As for disposing of the boxes and styrofoam coolers, I fold the boxes flat and use a box knife to cut the coolers in slices to fit easily into my garbage bags.

I've never bought any food from the Q and I personally don't know anyone who has. I suppose if you want ultra-processed food that is hard to find in your area then it might be a good option rather than having to drive far away to get it, with the cost of gas and all, so the cost wouldn't be too much in comparison.

@Susan345   I do buy food from QVC..Most of the time expensive. but at least I kinda know what I'm getting. If you receive a food item and it has thawed or you don't like, just send to QVC Social Team or call them and let them know and they will refund or replace..I have done that with mostly a thawed item and it was no problem for a refund. Usually they are very well packaged with the styrofoam cooler, etc.  AND Food ships for Free

  I just put styrofam containers in my trash with no problem

I never have and never will.  A significant part of the cost has to go into the "free shipping" so I can shop at my local Whole Paychecks, uh, Foods, and get at least if not better quality and not wait for delivery.  BTW I don't do much shopping at WF but stick to Jewel supermarket and Trader Joe's.

 

 I know many people do not have a choice of where they shop so I suppose QVC's food is a good option for them.

@Susan345  -  I'm always purchasing cookies, chips, and other goodies for my grands.  For what they're getting and the free shippping/convenience factor, it's worth it for me.

I've had several items.  Entroms and Lindt and some stuffed chicken breasts.  One item arrived thawed, they replaced it in two days.  Usually get Rastellis prime rib for the holiday as well.  It's not a need, it's a want.

I don't eat the type of food Q sells. High in fat, sugar and sodium and highly processed with chemicals. No way.

Yes, we do. We have purchased the Egg Harbor Salmon, Jimmy the Baker products, steaks, bread loaves, lots of bagels, Roar drinks, etc.  We have been very happy with all of our food purchases
