QVC you have got to get your ordering systems sorted. Last night the fact it didn't work cost you two orders. Not much I guess but imagine that across potentially thousands of people trying to order. I finally decided late in the evening to go for the TSV and headed to the website. Several times over a period I tried to order but kept getting a message box that said "????Err_SOLDOUT????" even though the product clearly hadn't as it was being shown on air. I even tried a couple of times on Q-Cut but that didn't work properly either. Eventually I had to endure a 20 minute wait to speak to an operator and in that decided that I'd rather not bother. I still had to check with them that the failed orders hadn't been placed and when it was mentioned that the website and Q-cut weren't working I was met with silence. So that's how you win customer service awards is it? Not wanting to give up, I tried just after midnight on Q-cut again. This time the order would have gone through but after I listened all the way to the end of my order summary the price had already gone back up to over £60 so I cancelled it right away. Not impressed. I appreciate the TSV has a definite cut-off point but it does bug me when they take items off easy pay or special offer the moment the show ends. I rarely watch shows as they air, choosing instead to record them and watch at a more convenient time to me. I'll then attempt to place an order but cancel it when I discover the price has changed or there are no easy pays etc.

I've been a customer for years so sort of know what to expect at times but experiences like this would really put me off if I was a new customer.
 
This happens to me all the time and it is very annoying when something finally comes on that you would actually want to buy only to find that you can't even order it. As you say they badly need to sort it out.
 
We all know there is a cut off point for a TSV but it would it really hurt them to extend the deadline for say 30 mins when there have been problems with orders not going through on the website, Q-cut not working properly and extremely long waits (20+ mins is just not on) on the phones.
It's not the way to get good ratings from customers and maybe this is why they have fallen behind JLP in the customer service ratings. It certainly won't give new customers a good impression so you're right there Moth.
 
Agreed. That's not the only thing they need to sort out either a few time now I have seen the wrong details being on screen when they are talking about another different product. Not just on the beauty channel either but the regular live channel too.
