Suggestion Box

[Vickiv]

I really liked the way the hosts were years ago. There still is a few good ones left. They use to measure jewerly with a ruler to show size. Measurements on clothing describing everything perfectly. Host always dressed so nice just the right makeup and manicured hands.  Now it's jumping around at times like clowns. The poor vendor can't get a word in with all the interruptions and personal stories. Made up or slang words and clothing choices  makes me wonder who is training these hosts.

Unfortunately some of the hosts treat it as their show - they are the star.  All I want is details of sizing, measurements, how it fits not info on their life stories or silly discussions.

Recently a sweater was shown and the click on sizings  were totally different - it was very big.  No information was given on show to address this very different sizing - no info on what size models were wearing - after I checked with host and asked about sizing - no reply - then checked with vendor - no reply do I order reg. size or not?

Now see reviews all being returned "too big need to size down at least 2 sizes" etc. and it is now on clearance.  

Maybe if hosts did their job there would not be so many returns.  All we need is information on oroducts clearly and properly given.  I do not think it wil change though too many hosts that are wannabe stars.

     I remember those past days too!  I also have wondered about the "so called" training that the newer hosts have received.  I do find that I do not watch the Q channel very much now.  Some of hosts' presentations are so unprofessional, I prefer to not watch their shows.

If I'm interested in something being presented, I ALWAYS go on line to double check the specifications that were/weren't given on air.  But my biggest disappoint has been the garment sizing.  Often it is flat out wrong!  I know my garment chest size, if the garment falls on that number I know for certain the item will fit....  I've received items that I looked up it said that number and when I tried it on it was either too big or too small.  With that kind of uncertainty, I've pretty much stopped buying clothing......

While going on line may be an option, it shouldn't be needed if you are watching a live presentation on tv.  It should be part of the host's job to give all the info the viewer needs in order to make a good purchase.  The viewer shouldn't have to get on the laptop to find out much needed info.  Not everyone even has internet or internet access when they are watching.  If  I have to do all the legwork to find out basic info, I might as well just go to the mall. 

Maybe the hosts should stop acting like silly, giggly school girls, talking about  their personal business, or telling the viewer that they can wear a sweatshirt to go pumpkin picking and then there wouldn't be this constant complaint about them.

You bring up an interesting point.  Most of the male hosts are much better than the females.  Both Dans, Rick, David, Alberti (not sure if I'm missing any)- they all do a great job.  Even RIck can be over the top, but he is informative and fun to watch.  Unfortunately, much of what I buy is fashion, which is almost always sold by female hosts.

On no other shopping channel do the hosts act and dress as uunprofessionally as they do on QVC.

I agree!  There is information customers need to order, we want to see the colors before we order.  Some of the hosts think we care about their families, we don't.  This is a business, tell your family stories after we have the information to place an order.  We don't care what went on in the host's history, they should stop that stuff all together!  I'm thinking of one petite host in particular.  Hosts, please, just do your job.  We couldn't care less about what goes on in your world!

    I agree!!  I don't need to know anything about a host's personal life to make a purchase!!  If the host feels they must share personal info, they can write it in a blog!  There, if someone has to know personal stories, he/she can read the shared  info.  Their life stories just detract from the sales job they are supposed to be doing!

I agree, we shouldn't have to.... but it's now a habit I have because of how some of the hosts present the item and themselves.... and just a word of warning that the information given in the writtn description isn't necessarily ENTIRELY true.....

One disappointing thing (for me) was a watch I purchased from one of the Designers that said it was "Stainless Steel".  Advertised on air and on line as "Stainless Steel".

Now, you'd assume that meant solid.  After wearing said watch for a year non-stop I had black spots under the "stainless steel band" that was the actual stainless steel coating that has worn off in areas exposing the base metal underneath!  I wondered why I was having a reaction to the stainless steel metal band when I never have a reaction to stainless steel (and THE primary reason I purchased it).....  So now that I know this.....I will adjust my purchases accordingly......
