I agree. When the host is alone it seems this info is given more often. When there are two presenters, they start chatting and forget details sometimes

Then please go to the "click here" on the Description page for ALL the exact measurements. It has saved me many times by checking first bust dimensions. Even within a Brand, LOGO infamous for this, they vary from product to product. Same for inseam.

 

Don't wait for the Host, there are too many measurements that may be more important than waist for some or inseam for others.

Often I don't purchase due to lack of info. I used to call cs for info, they often don't have specifics, i.e. Gram weight, country of origin, treatment. It saves me $.

Amazing to watch a 20 minute presentation drag on, stating colors and how many sold repeatedly without mentioning dimensions.

Exactly @Bhvbum  Even though I agree they should always give measurements verbally, or on the screen when presenting, I never leave clothing measurements up to the hosts.  I always check the bust measurement (and other sizing) for each item online.

I agree with you. They had a small appliance on the other day and I was wanting to know about the settings/digital display and see a close up view to see how it worked. It didn't happen. They never even showed how to turn it on. Please QVC we want details!

Re: Hosts..dont forget details

Good luck with that.   I ranted about it on another thread yesterday.  All the hosts refer you to the website.    Do your own research.   Back in the day there was no website and the hosts--without a "representative" sitting alongside--- carefully described all details.   Not anymore, as I mentioned in a previous rant, QVC could save money by dropping the TV & becoming Amazon.

Re: Hosts..dont forget details

It should be part of the hosts job to give all the info about the products needed for the viewer to make a purchase.  The viewer shouldn't have to be on the computer at the same time as watching to get details.  If the viewer has to do all the work, then why have hosts at all?  Just have a set with a pic of the item and basic info on screen next to it.  Not everyone has a computer or computer access when watching and even if you do, by the time you get online to find out info, the color/size you want may be gone. 

 

Maybe if they spent less time yapping about what the host's favorite cookie was in 1974 on Christmas day, what their kid did last weekend, or giggling about other nonsense and Facebook questions, we might get some details.  Just saying something is a good length tells me nothing.  If I have to do all the work in finding out basic info, I'm better off shopping at the mall (which I prefer anyway).

Re: Hosts..dont forget details

I would also like the exact height, width and depth of handbags.  I know I can go online and look it up, but I think they should give those details during the presentation.  Also, I do not need to be told over and over and over again how and where I could wear an item of clothing............ie., garden party, wedding, lunch with the ladies, dress it up or dress it down, etc.  That is so annoying and takes away from the presentation.  I think we customers know where we can and where we will wear an item.

I agree with you about that.  I would like to add that they give details for shoes as well.  Most of the time when they are showing shoes, they hold them in a way that doesn't show the heel and then don't say how high the heel is.  Another annoying thing for shoe presentations for me is that they don't say what the upper lining is or if there is any.  I like to know if there is a lining, so that I can avoid a shoe rubbing, causing blisters.
