@Grinstead.  Dream on.  I can guarantee QVC isn't going to quit using usps, the least expensive carrier.  I get excellent service from them.  Once a package hits the local distribution center, like clockwork, it shows up in my mailbox the next day.

Perhaps the challenge is with the SENDER.

 

I get Ebay and Etsy packages within a few days.


@Desertdi.  Those are shipped first class.  QVC uses a rate with a lower cost and priority.

Out of USPS, UPS, Fed Ex, Amazon et al....

USPS is one of the best as far as keeping me informed as to where packages are in the shipping process and delivering my packages right inside my hallway!

 

Amazon is my next favorite shipper followed bu UPS and I think Fed Ex stinks.

So far I have never had issues with USPS.  Always get my deliveries.  QVC and others as well.

I worked at a post office for years after retiring. One position I held while working was managing the incoming and outgoing mail depts for a huge corporation.

 

Every huge corporation contracts with USPS, FedEx, UPS. It saves corporations a ton of money!

 

Q chooses to ship Parcel Post. Parcel post is the lowest priority mail for USPS. 

 

Parcel Post often relies on 3rd party truckers to move it from one place to the next - they aren't going to do that unless there is a profit. Packages can sit for a little while until they are picked up at each stop.

 

Parcel Post can sit at a post office until they are able to sort because the priority is so low. That's why it costs so little to ship this way.

 

Q could spend a couple pennies more and ship at the next higher level but they choose not to. You wouldn't see so many issues if they did.

@Grinstead ...........If you are not getting mail then the problem is the post office, not QVC.

 Don't understand the "not being able to deliver" part.  You have signed up to track and then the package went missing and you reported it?  

 

What was the resolution?
