How about you actually have enough product to make it to the 12:00 launch of a TSV. I waited to see the size, cut & fit of the Rachel Hollis sweatshirt, and at 12:06 4 sizes of the camo I tried to buy were sold out. How stupid am I for wanting to see an actual presentation, on sizing, not just a fluff & buff video on how to style a sweatshirt. I’m pretty confident I know how. If you’re going to put a TSV up a week early, how about an actual HELPFUL video on sizing, cut & fit so we could purchase ahead of time without guessing. LAME.
I get better info shopping on Amazon, sadly.

Re: Here’s a suggestion...

I don’t know if this was the case here, but sometimes things, even TSV’s are shown first on QVC2.

 

Like I said I have no idea about this item, but sometimes when something is presented the host will say, “We’ve sold bla bla ( numbers) of this item already.

 

I used to wonder how that had happened because I seldom watch QVC2, then one day I saw the item presented on QVC2 BEFORE it was on QVC.

 

It seems like it’s usually the opposite in that they have lots left over.  Just guessing it might be that since this was a new item, they didn’t purchase a lot of the item and/or it might be they just didn’t buy many of that size, since there are more people who wear the larger sizes.

 

I always feel like throwing something at the TV when the host says over and over, “ You can change it for another size and/or color.”

 

Really?  Really?  By the time I get it, try it on...they’ve presented it a zillion times and they no longer have much ( if any) to exchange it with.

 

There’ve been times when I’ve bought two sizes ( knowing I’ll send one back) because otherwise If it doesn’t fit...well...I’m screwed!  It makes the cost of the item stupid expensive, but if I really like it, that’s what I have to do.

 

Now I guess we need to realize we are going to be inundated with this vendor’s items.

 

I videotaped the show but didn’t see it because I’m not interested...I just wanted to have a choice Incase I want to buy it.

Virtually every TSV is now put up on line and on the app several days if not a week in advance.  A lot of shoppers no longer wait to see something air.

Re: Here’s a suggestion...

I have no problem with that. What i would like, if they are putting up a TSV that early, is to have a helpful video regarding sizing! I had to wait for the presentation to see sizing, so they sold out of what i wanted. I dont want to have to guess & return if its wrong. Like Annabellethecat said, there wouldnt be anything left to exchange it with.

Re: Here’s a suggestion...

It seems the whole idea of TSV has been revamped.

 

I can't figure out what QVC is thinking.  No overnight programming but paying for three channels?  Today has no meaning in TSV.  Fewer brands.

 

It's a strange business model.
