Batteries NOT included

[stratobuddy]

What happened to the QVC promise that they would always provide batteries when they were needed?

• Battery operated. 6x AAA batteries not included

Ah, but how many years ago was that claim?

You know QVC have memory loss when it chooses.

Or, the company who make the product just stopped supply their products with batteries. The batteries were always because the company had them in with the product.

Batteries are damn expensive now. I had to buy the tiny little ones that go into my torch keyring recently and they were £8!!!!

Absolutely it is a claim from many moons ago!!!

Definitely a way for companies to save money as batteries are expensive!

I never watch QVC live on TV any more, I only look at items I am interested in on their webpage.

So I hadn't realised they no longer supplied batteries.

It was always one of QVC's big things that they were a company that supplied things "ready to go" with the batteries included. Agree batteries cost a mint for the decent ones. All the lights and lamps I bought at Christmas need 3 AA batteries each to run them - needless to say none of them are working at the moment!

QVC only used to supply the cheap batteries that lasted 5 minutes so it's not a huge loss!

Not sure whether you watch live or not matters, they are hardly going to announce they no longer include batteries as standard!!

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that many moons ago, maybe 20 years or so, you used to get 2 sets of batteries with whatever you ordered that required batteries.
