I'll be honest with you, I've always been dubious of shopping off the TV - I blame Trevor & Simon on Going Live when I was young! But, having tried QVC, I've been converted.
The first time I wanted to make an order, I was very nervous about calling up and registering, fearing I'd have to sign away my life. But I didn't. The lady at the other end of the phone was incredibly friendly and helpful. As it happened the item I wanted sold out in the time it took me to call up, but I was offered the chance to go on a wait list, which meant if they got a new stock in within the next few weeks, they'd automatically send one out to me, which I did and promptly received the necklace for Mothers' Day.
Now when I order, I just use queue cut - an automated service, which only requires you to have your PIN number to hand. Now don't panic when I say PIN number, this is just like a password which you create to go with your membership card number. You are NOT handing over the PIN number to your bank account or credit card. I also order online, which again, just needs my membership number and PIN.
All goods are despatched and delivered within 7 working days, but usually it is much quicker than this. I've ordered many different items, from jewellery to chocolates, and everything has been top quality.
I love the fact that you can send any item back without any arguements within 30 days and get your money back - minus postage and packing.
The range of goods on offer is huge and will fit all budgets. They do top of the range diamonds for thousands of pounds, but also have a diamoneque range, which is simulated diamonds, at a fraction of the price. Having received many of this range, I can say they really are an excellent subsitute for the real deal. They also sell clothing, kitchen wears, bedding, gifts, toys, gadgets, TVs, cameras and food.
QVC also offer on some items easy pays, which basically means you can pay in monthly installments, interest free, which can be a huge help. They also do special event days, and have offers throughout the year.
I've never had a bad experience with QVC and would recommend them above other TV shopping channels, as all their phone numbers are free, they don't charge you extra to text them, and the postage and package prices aren't over the top. On top of that, their prices in general are very reasonable. read more
