I received a present that I could not use. I contacted QVC to see if I could return it. I followed QVC's instructions to receive credit on my account.. The gift amount was returned to my friend. I just learned that the credit cannot be applied to my account. Now I cannot shop for a more appropriate gift AND MY FRIEND IS ANGRY. Thank you for following the instruction QVC gave me.

QVC is a business

WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- Some of the complaints about QVC may be valid but others really shock me. QVC is a business like any other. If you don't pay the electric, it gets shut off..etc etc. They don't black list people without good reason. There seem to be a lot of compulsive buyers who when the big credit card bill comes in and they lose the race to the mailbox to their husband, or find they bought too much that month and can't afford the bill....then try to return way too much and are put out when QVC halts their "buying privileges" I surely don't blame QVC for closing accounts if over 50% of someones purchases keep being returned for various excuses as they have to pay for the restocking or throwing the items out that can't be resold. People keep out of trouble by being a savy responsible shopper. Don't buy more than you can pay for. I can tell many are not telling the WHOLE STORY here. If you know you are going to lose your job or plan ongoing bankrupt, don't continue to buy on credit and don't expect special consideration. I have not one bad experience in buying or returning items from QVC but I don't buy more than I can pay off in 2 months either. Yeah I got a lot of wants...but I don't let that get in my way of being a responsible shopper. I don't buy big ticket items such as chairs and computers at QVC. You drive a car b4 you buy it don't you? Just because you get a 10,000 credit limit doesn't mean you need to spend that amount. Is the consumers responsibility to keep out of trouble...not the company. If you can't control TV shopping urges then turn the channel. And for the one commentor who went Chapter 13 bankrupt and thinks she is so "entitled" to keep charging items on QVC and has admitted publicly she is scamming the company by fake names?? You disgust me and people like you are the reason this country has such economic woes. You ruin everything for the responsible folks. You have bad credit for 10 years and can't blame everyone else for your irresponsibility so suck it up and put on your big girl pants. You probably are on public assistance of every kind too and feel entitled to charge up luxury big ticket items and is why you ended up bankrupt. I hope they have charged you with fraud. As for those who didn't fit into the shopoholics and scammers categories....my comments are not directed to you.

Terrible Return Policy
By -

I purchased a Dell Computer in December 2008. I set it up with four payments deducted from my bank account each month. I received the laptop; it was defective. I returned the item on January 29, using the QLabel that is provided by QVC through their website. This is where the nightmare began: The label specifies that you have to ship through USPS. I took the item to USPS. USPS will NOT provide a note or copy of a piece of paper indicating you left the item with them. USPS does not even scan the item that it is in THEIR possession until UPS...yes, UPS picks it up to deliver to QVC.

Why would UPS pick up an item from USPS and deliver it to QVC? Wouldn't it make more sense to just take the item to UPS and have them deliver it that way? Anyway, the problem is that the numbers on the label are NOT USPS numbers. Consequently you have no way of tracking the item. They're not even UPS's numbers! That laptop literally sat at the post office for TWO WEEKS before UPS picked it up. According to the supervisor at the Post Office, USPS doesn't even "Scan" it until UPS picks it up. So that means it just sat there in a bin in the back of the Post Office with no record of it being there but my word and perhaps a couple witnesses.

Nice way to handle a $2,000 item. Anyone could escond with it, and you'd never know. FINALLY UPS picked it up two weeks later. FINALLY QVC tracked it (of course, the day they received it...not when it was in transition from California to South Carolina).

And FINALLY, 25 days later, QVC is "processing" my refund...BUT, drum roll, QVC wrote me a note saying if my credit of $900 does not show up WITHIN TWO MONTHS on my bank statements, THEN I can call or notify QVC and they'll look into it. Yes! They actually had the gall to tell me NOT TO CALL OR NOTIFY THEM FOR TWO MONTHS!! By that time, it would be THREE MONTHS TO GET A REFUND. Believe me, I'm NOT waiting two months if it doesn't show up IMMEDIATELY. I can get a COURT DATE quicker. I'm D-O-N-E with these jokers.

Bad Reviews (And Good Quality Products) Are a NO-NO on QVC!!
By -

WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- I purchased this pre-lit Christmas tree from QVC in November. When I assembled it for Christmas, I found a naked bulb harness hanging off one of the strings of lights. There's no way the light string should have passed inspection before it went on the tree, and there's no way the person wiring them to the tree didn't see them, which means they were too lazy to take them off and start over (made in China, of course). I complained to customer service (they do not have a straight-up email you can use, just a web form, first of all), and I wrote a bad review explaining all of the above, and suggesting that QVC and their supplier might want to review their quality control.

My review was turned down because: a different product is also mentioned in the review, content is inappropriate or unrelated, information focuses more on a service issue rather than a product...all of which is bull, because it DID focus on the product, DIDN'T mention something else, and certainly had no bad language in it. Obviously, criticism of QVC and their supplier, Bethlehem Lights is not accepted. I've written another review just stating that the tree is a fire hazard and I would not recommend it. If they turn THAT one down, I KNOW they're filtering their reviews, and are trying to make their shoddy Chinese products look better than they are.

DO NOT buy anything from these people, I've never gotten anything from them (all gifts, I assure you, because I'm NEVER buying anything from them again myself) that didn't fall apart, was bad quality, broke after a few months use, etc., etc. I sent their Customer Service department another email complaining about the tree, and flat out informed them I was going to rip them one everywhere I could find a website to do it.

Wily QVC

WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- Hi everyone. I ordered my 16" notebook a couple of weeks ago. Soon after I ordered the product, I was told it was on back order. That's fine with me, I called customer service because I was trying to find the product description. When I clicked on the product in my order status the product description didn't show up. I think that's peculiar and a little unsettling. Well, customer service couldn't even find the product description at first.

When they finally pulled it up, one item, the size of the lithium ion battery was changed. DARN! I'm usually pretty good about copying the description onto a word document for my own records but that's something I didn't do this time. I know the original product description for "E208516-Toshiba Satellite A505S6997 Core2Duo 500GB 16" Notebook with Windows 7" included a 12-cell lithium ion battery. My son, the computer whiz, helped me research this notebook and remembers the description as having a 12-cell lithium ion battery too.

When I called customer service, the description they gave me included a six cell lithium ion battery. I feel helpless now. I still want the notebook because I think it's a good deal for the price even with the lesser battery. I just think there should be some sort of regulation here. If you go into a Best Buy and a product description is different than the product itself, they need to live up to the description otherwise it's considered fraud, yes?

The disappearing product description shouldn't exist with QVC. It's one thing to take the product off the list when it's on back order. That I get. But if you've ordered the product and are waiting for it, the product description should continue to show up with your order status. It seems too easy and just not right that a product description can easily disappear and then change according to the whims of either QVC or the manufacturer of the product after its been purchased by a customer.

The upshot of this message is that when you order a product online, make sure you copy the description for your own records and make sure to include the entire page so there's no question as to the validity of the page you copied. Is there anyone out there that ordered this particular computer? Did you get the 12-cell lithium ion battery? I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. Thanks!!!

Received Used Items Twice!
StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarBy -
Rating: 1/51

Last year I bought a tablet for my son. It arrived with someone's information all through the tablet. I called QVC, asked them how can I give this as a gift already used so I returned it. It was going to take forever to get another one so I ended up canceling and it took so long to get my refund - it was over a month. So this year here I go again, I bought another tablet and the same thing - another used one and it's an item that cost $200.00.

I think I should receive a new one and I'm praying I receive a new one and that it arrives before Xmas. Every time I purchase something on QVC, I think really hard about it because of their return policy. When you shop with ShopNBC they send you another item before they even get the return item back and that's the reason why I purchase so much from them. No more QVC for me.

Don't Buy Mattress From QVC

BRADENTON, FLORIDA -- Buy from a reputable local store you can trust instead. Ordering went smoothly but that's where anything positive about purchasing my mattress set through QVC ended. It took several weeks to arrive and if I hadn't phoned and emailed several times, I might still be waiting months later. The promise was it would ship within 7 days, and they claimed it did.

Once it finally arrived, the material on the bottom of the box spring tore when the delivery guys removed the shipping plastic. They tore it. They then advised me that QVC would ship a replacement right away, I only had to contact them. They also said they noted the damage was caused by removal of the shipping plastic on their paperwork.

I began by emailing QVC support immediately. They responded that a replacement would be shipped right away. After several more email exchanges, they finally advised me that I needed to call the support number to sort it out. When I called, they said they had no record of the situation and that they would need to have a supervisor call me back. The call never came.

After further calls I continued to get the same response, that someone would call me back, which never happened. During the last call I made, they began accusing me of causing the damage but that a supervisor would call me back. I never received a call. Months later I still have the damaged box springs. My conclusion is don't buy anything from QVC. If there is a problem, they won't back it up. Buy from a local store you know you can trust and that provides dependable customer service.

14kt Gold or Fake?
By -

I purchased a 24" 14kt GOLD rope necklace a couple weeks ago from QVC during one of their "gold" programs. I purchased it on 3 or 4 easy payments of $60 something dollars per month. When I opened the package and pulled out the chain... I was shocked!!! The thing looks like Sterling Silver... IN NO WAY 14KT GOLD!!! I have several 10kt and 14kt gold jewelry and it is a buttery yellow. I understand and know the higher up in KT you go, the more buttery yellow it is, and vice versa the less gold kt to you. WHAT THE HECK QVC?!?!?

Major Delays in Processing REFUNDS; After, Receipt of Product
By -

After QVC received satisfactory go their product back at their location 6/21/11; I was informed that a REFUND would be issued. I have called 6/21; 6/22, 6/23, 6/24; 6/25 checked with bank...nothing; 6/27, 6/28 and finally 6/29. I was told that they finally processed this REFUND. What incompetence and misinformation to customers. I informed them on numerous occasions that I required know why there has been such a hold-up for this REFUND. ONLY 6/29/11 at 5:30 PM, after being very upset over this misguided policy, that I found out that a REFUND was being issued today!

This is bogus and totally unprofessional for all the customer service reps that were involved in this misguided deception to customers. This policy and practice needs to be looked upon as being illegal. Please, forward this complaint to the proper authorities! I feel that this practice of REFUNDS need to be handled better and more professionally, but organizations like QVC.
