Finally had it with QVC polyester fashion

[rosielinks]

OK I admit it. I do own some Kim & Co. On the whole I find it way too expensive for what it is but I have two skirts which I found very handy for this time of year. Easy to wear - no buttons or tight waistbands - and very convenient to pack and wash with no ironing.

So I decided to take a foray into the tops. I purchased an amethyst coloured long sleeved round neck top. Quite basic and simple. When it arrived, it was so plastic and static to wear. I could see threads hanging off it. I tried to like it, I tried it on with some jeans and added a scarf. The colour is lovely. However, I couldn't get over the synthetic quality of the fabric. Then I looked at the price around £30 with £4.45 P&P! It is truly ridiculous. It cost almost £3 to return.

I have had a stern talking to myself. How could I have been so foolish. If I find myself falling for the sales patter again I am going to remember this little transaction and switch off.

Rant over.

Ah, but will you?

Repeat to yourself - Quality Versus Convenience :biggrin:

Minim, I think I will stick with this. I'm happy to stick with T K Maxx, BrandAlley, Secret Sales, and the sample sales in London.

Sick of P&P, sending things back and waiting ages for refunds.

Quite right too!

How "convenient" is it to send summat back to QVC and then wait for them to get round to refunding you?

And it doesn't sound like the quality's up to much, either!
