I buy quite a lot of gadgety stuff from QVC because they sell things that I can't find anywhere else, but I get quite a lot of items that just don't live up to the hype and/or have niggling problems.
Up until now, although disappointing, they haven't been serious enough to start the hassle of returning, so I put up with the niggles. A typical example is an auto light that (according to the demo) comes on when you move within its range, stays on for 30 seconds, then goes off UNLESS IT STILL DETECTS MOVEMENT, THEN IT STAYS ON. In fact, it doesn't stay on, it goes off after 30 seconds anyway, for a fraction of a second, then comes back on, and this constantly going off and on is quite irritating, but I did not return it, just put up with it.
This time I've ordered these - - -
TWO work as decribed, but the 3rd will NOT convert from a torch into a lamp. The 2 that work are easy to change, but I have used all my strength to try to convert the 3rd, but it just will not budge.
So now I have all the hassle of returning them for a replacement, and their system is so inflexible that they can't just replace the one faulty torch, they have to replace all 3 and I have to return all 3!
I wonder why I still bother with QVC, there is invariably a disappointment.
