I don't know what it is exactly about it but I simply cannot stand it. I suppose part of it is I can't stand The Jewellery Channel either with their outrageous and theatrical price starts. It all seems so cynically manipulative to me. Still, those poor old dears they feature from the local whist drive on the promo seen to be in love with it.
Re. TJC
@The Duke of Cheese I know it's the TV shopping aspects of the channel and others you're critiquing, and I agree, but the TJC.co.uk site itself and the stuff they sell is nothing like, or indeed much more than the TV jewellery and odd other beauty and odd products televised.
The testimonials from the ladies on the sofa seem to also be about the good value and wide range of homewares and other items, not just jewellery/beauty stuff available on the site at decent prices with discount codes and megaday free p&p days. As a fan I've bought useful home items for under £5 or £10 and cheaper big ticket items cheaper than elsewhere.
Just saying. The TJC co.uk site has the jewellery too, but none of the false price drop rubbish and clearance and bargain auction areas where you can get cheap items for Xmas, smellies, lights, toys, cheap watches, pendants, brooches and home stuff like seats cushions and covers, etc.
I think the TJC TV shopping channel gives a bit of a false impression or does a bit of a disservice to their overall offering and quality customer service/returns offer.
P.S. the same dashcam on IW3 at £19.99 + p&p was 20% off (£16) and free p&p for a day on TJC website, if you knew how/when!
