I realize that COVID has made it a bit more difficult to get quality products, but the TSV's that you have presented so far in 2021 are really unremarkable. They are not very exciting or make you sit up and take notice. I hope things improved because I am really getting bored by the parade of mediocre foods, beauty creams and reruns from year's past.

The best thing in the world for a retail vendor to sell is something that is totally consumable.  That means food, perfume, creams, vitamins, alcohol, and so forth.

 

The customer purchases and uses up the product in a short time frame, and then comes back for more.  There is no need to worry about a long shelf life, or reducing the price, replacing parts, or running out of certain sizes.

 

If the item is extremely popular, the vendor basically has it made in life.

 

There are plenty of other things to spend money on if you search the QVC website.

 

I like to look at lunchtime specials and the clearance items for the best prices.

Nothing has changed.  Same TSVs as in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017...you get the idea.  Yes, theyre deadly boring.

What other venues have you shopped that have better more exciting offerings?  Would love some fresh ideas.

I haven't really seen a great TSV is several years! Back in the day, the TSV was indeed much more of a "special' item or price. Nothing special these days in general although once in a while it is something pretty good. I actually remember staying up to see what the TSV would be at midnight becuse many would sell out quickly and be gone by morning!

@rockygems123   If I had to choose one as an alternate tv shopping channel it's hsn. I enjoy many of their daily specials. I also like many more of the fashions and designers they have to offer.

@wifey2qt  SO TRUE.    Many years back the TSV would be a TRULY REDUCED price.  These days there is a reduction, but more often than not has s&h...  and then the next day you can get the item at an Intro Price for a few dollars more if it doesn't sell out.

It must be successful or they wouldn't offer such tsv's.

They certainly don't often offer anything the slightest bit original anymore.

JMO....many and I mean a ton of manufacturing plants are shut down as of the pandemic...don't expect new and different products until they safely can do so.
