Exactly! When I first watched Q, not so many years ago, they used to have some nice bits and pieces that were attractive, in good taste and reasonably priced (I've still got some of them) - including jewellery items that were good value and you would be proud to keep or give as gifts. Now, because of what I've read on here and elsewhere, even if I wanted to buy things like toiletries from them (which I don't), I'd be worried the items would arrive partly-used - so I could never consider buying them as presents . And don't get me started on the hugely overpriced "fashion" items that they try to convince you every 'sleb' and top name model is wearing, where said "fashion" is presented by someone who implies that you have an unlimited budget to spend on clothes, which for most of us totally untrue. Now we're getting market stall "ornaments" which are virtually the same as you could buy in Poundland, Wilko's or Home Bargains, but at Q's vastly inflated prices plus p&p. Gawd, they plumbed the depths with Sunday's show. Sooner or later they must run out of new customers who believe the hype and don't (or can't, for whatever reason) shop around - because most of the former well-established customers are switching off, I'd think. The channel has lost its way every bit as much as Bid did. OH is threatening to buy a stag's head wall plaque and nail it to garden shed door, to impress the neighbours - I told him we don't want to be forced to sell up in the New Year:mysmilie_17:
QUOTE=maymorganlondon;873423]All year round QVC position themselves as the Harrods of home telly shopping... then we get to Christmas and they morph into the market-stall's overpriced twin. Tat, tat, and more tat. Novelties which come out at Christmas with irritating songs etc should be priced to sell and be thrown away afterwards.
It's not that many years ago that they used to have quality Christmas items that you could put away and bring out year after year.[/QUOTE]
