there is a Michael Perry Garden TSV on the 13/06/21
Theres a trick how to charge solar items. Make sure they have an on/off switch when you buy them. The TSV does. Then turn the switch to off. Leave out in full sun for at least three day and nights. This super charges the battery. Then in the night switch to on and hey presto the best illumination ever..Micheal is harping on about lighting up your garden in the autumn.
So how much sunshine do we get in the UK to charge these at that time of year.
The ones I bought from Q 20 years ago will NOT charge unless the switch is on.Theres a trick how to charge solar items. Make sure they have an on/off switch when you buy them. The TSV does.

You do have to switch them on after the 3 days of charging with the switch off.The ones I bought from Q 20 years ago will NOT charge unless the switch is on.
I bought 8, only 1 is still working now (although I have changed the batteries a few times).
No bad though for 20 years, and they were not available anywhere else at the time.
There is absolutely no consistency with QVC.Sold out and no advanced orders.
basically advanced order is not unlimited in stock levels, they only ever have a certain amount of advanced order stock that they can sell & if they sell completely they either get more (for a later date) or end it after thatThere is absolutely no consistency with QVC.
Last time I bought an AO item "from the get-go" (I hate that phrase) it meant that they were just taking the orders, and would then get in the number required to meet those orders, so they didn't have to keep any stock. So the item lasted the full 27 hours since the launch.
So this time, I didn't bother to order at 9pm while I thought about it, only to find that they were sold out this morning, so a whole day of no stock of the TSV.
What a shambles!
I think that with the mattress topper TSV, they made them to order, then despatched direct from the factory. They were exclusive to QVC even though they were branded Silentnight, and they were not even made by Silentnight.basically advanced order is not unlimited in stock levels, they only ever have a certain amount of advanced order stock that they can sell & if they sell completely they either get more (for a later date) or end it after that
that was acutally a slightly different one that was an advanced order/made to order as i remember seeing that wording on the screen on the strap (as they do on some of the higher end clogau pieces)I think that with the mattress topper TSV, they made them to order, then despatched direct from the factory.

they sold out during the night as they put sold out on them on air at the start of the 9am hourDoes anyone know what time they sold out?
Between 6-7 this morning advance order was still available for the silver option but the bronze had been limited from soon after midnight.Does anyone know what time they sold out?
