There was something I wanted to order today, and as I have a £5 off voucher, I decided to go ahead.
When I entered the coupon code, it said it was invalid, so I rang CS.
They said that the reason it wouldn't work is that the item is on advanced order, and even though is due to be sent in a few days, I can't use the coupon.
I said to the operator that this seemed a stupid rule, and she agreed, but she said they can't even overide it from their end. She did say that they are planning to remove that restriction, but I won't hold my breath.
So I just told her I would have to delete my order.
I think someone had mentioned this before, but I had forgotten, and the T&Cs are virtually INVISIBLE as they are in tiny writing in print almost indistinghable from the backgound colour, so to read them you would need 20/20 vision, perfect colour vision, and even then, a magnifyimg glass!
The QVC antiquated attitudes never ceases to amaze me.
