What a farce!
I am bored of the, "I've just seen the price. Goodness, how can we sell it at that price?" "It must be QVC's BuyingPower!" "Gosh, I had no idea you were going to sell my top at that price!" Phooey! Susan Graver and Caramel engaged in that pantomime, but change the presenter names and the item and that same script applies to everything. I have 5 SG tops and like the quality, but surely as the designer, she knows the selling price of her clothes and the shock/bewilderment routine is nauseating. If I was in a shop purchasing a top or television and the two sales assistants struck up that banter, would you buy the item? Pffffft, you would think they're crazy, head for the exit, NeverEver, to return. TwaddleDee and TwaddleDum, they are! ;-) Am off to enjoy Saint movies from 1939 at noon. x BlissfulSnarly

Everyone of the Vendors are guilty of the shock horror oscar winning performances. And yes, they are already paid for their goods, so why all the pretence?
I always think, if a for example a top is reduced from £43 down to £25 - then qvc are still making a profit, which makes the top originally being bought from the vendor at around £15
Another reality check - if we are told that 7,000 TSV's (of whatever) have been sold that day, just multiply that by what they are charging - it runs into hundreds of thousands of pounds for ONE product ! over the course of a week we are talking telephone numbers.

Wind spinners, 20 min presentations, what more can you say about one that can't be said in half a minute? I don't watch gardening hours now because of them, honestly, plus RJ and SB. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

what really does my head in is when they say "congratulations to all of you who managed to buy that" when something sells out, imagine if they did it on the tills at Asda when I've had a good rummage in the reduced stuff. "oh well done for securing that pack of braising steak with £2 off".
AND what is all this with "I only have a few left in stock" nonsense? Jill Franks is the main offender but I have noticed Craig has started to do it now, someone tell them they are not the sole employee at QVC. Generally I am bored and irritated with it all at the moment, repetitious, over priced dull products and programmes that offer nothing novel or attention grabbing.

Agree with you Minim that Ultrasun is deadly dull, I don't think they ever need an hour to give us that message. Also, the same products on all the time, then it moves on to another few that are on all the time for a while. Eg. I know it is product of the month but does that mean Liquid Gold has to be on practically every beauty show. And as for Revitalash!!
If I hear Andrew tell us once more about the 'value' of some supersize Eye Cream I'm gonna scream.
Every show we get the same old speech, 'You'd pay more for a half size of this, get it now. This item is not being discontinued. Special price for the mini series'.
Yeah, whatever. We heard the same with the Melotshite moisturiser.

Yes we are definitely into 'overload' like Revitalash and Ultra-sun that they are doing to death. This must surely have an adverse effect - instead of preaching the gospel to new viewers, they must be losing established customers in droves.
There are still things in stock, as shown on the website that could have another airing, - anything for a change.
As its an American company why cant they ship over more 'stuff'. For instance I loved the Temp-tations range of cookware - on the U.S site there are pages of it, yet none here. No, its all Yankee candles, and Northern Nights (incidentally, on the US site the threadcount is always between 400 and 600 !).

Beauty shows are deathly dull. If you have a "mini series" type event, once you've seen the first show you've seen them all. The only thing that changes is the presenter. They need to have more products. I'm sure we've all sat down and thought "I wonder what happened to..." or "where did that go....?" And given the competition in the marketplace, their pricing is a major own goal.
