Are QVC registered in a Foreign Country ?

[popcorn]

Just curious if anyone knows as refund showing as catalogue company "ITALY"
When I heard Italy I knew I had not been there to shop so why is the refund showing this

QVC Italy often appears on my credit card bill for items purchased from QVC, some still say UK but often it is Italy.

I agree. My Mum was telling me that she had a phone call from the fraud department from her bank last week about a transaction from Italy, that turned out to be QVC. I have never seen it myself though on my statements.

perhaps that is why shipping is so slow. It comes from Italy!!!!

Yes, lots of transactions on my card say Italy. I think QVC are in many countries including China.

Is it for products which come from Italian or other Eurozone retailers? Maybe it's more financially and administratively efficent this way - to handle the transaction from Italy? Would make me wonder why Italy rather than QVC Germany though...

Or, perhaps there's a benefit from exchange rate fluctuations?

Could there be any benefit from perhaps more relaxed financial regulation? I imagine Germany is quite strict, and UK is seemingly tightening up as well.

Perhaps like a lot of overseas companies trading in the Uk, there are tax advantages (like, some not paying much at all) to have their registered offices abroad.

The Artisans are doing the banking for them as well, poor folks are really overworked.
