Oh no, I bet she was more than thrilled to jump in, a whole day of patronising, preaching, demanding and a smug "I actually invented sun care you know" grin............shame she didn't preach about shampoo, every time I've seen her lately, she looks like she's been dragged through a greasy hedge backwards.
 
To be fair, we're all blaming Q, but it could just as easily be Saks fault that the TSV isn't happening.
I would like to know either way though. Just because I'm nosy.
 
I use one of their wristlets as an 'inhaler bag'. I'm asthmatic and allergy prone so end up taking a heap of stuff around - at least this way it's organised and looks very glam and boho!
 
When TSV's are cancelled I tend not to blame Q (for once) probably the supplier could not come up with enough merchandise to merit a TSV.There are lots of complaints when things sell out early.

It's disappointing because it was something different not the usual run of the mill cloned TSV's we get these days.! I won't be watching Abi the sun expert, that's for sure,Ultra sun doesn't work for me.
 
I wonder if there will be "consequences" for the brand in question?

I think - please correct me if I've got it wrong - we've had 3 fashion TSVs which have had to be replaced at short notice by beauty brands [Clarks, Liz Claibourne and now The Sak]. It's a shame when a glimpse of variety (even in the well-promoted fashion department) is squashed and steamrollered by the behemoth which is QVC beauty department. I'm a beauty junkie, but I like to learn about new things and not just in beauty. I know previous The Sak TSVs have been very well-received. They only do about 1 a year anyway, don't they? I wonder if the bag, when it does finally come into stock, will be on a price around the same as the TSV would have been?

I accept that there is probably more blame to be laid at the door of the brand than QVC - they negotiate well in advance, and specify quantities as well as price - so it's then down to the brand to ensure they're ready to roll on the day, which means ensuring they resolve any issues with their suppliers are resolved quickly.

Although... has the same bag by The Sak been a TSV or equivalent anywhere else? Maybe, if it was in the US, the superior bargaining power of QVCUS dipped into the stocks for QVCUK?

I have, in the past, heard presenters boast that they've taken stock which was allocated for other QVCs, so it's not impossible that another QVC took the stock which was destined for UK, is it?
 
Yes you would think the suppliers would have some idea of being able to fulfil the amount requested before they agree to a TSV.

Maybe it's financial ,cash flow problems or something like that.We will never know ,but I am not a beauty addict,I used to watch occasional shows and have bought the odd TSV but I can take it or leave it.I don't often comment on beauty products because I don't try them as others do.
 
I'm not so sure that big brands like Clarks would jeopardize their reputation by not being able to fulfil orders. I think there's some clause in their contracts that says that tsv's etc can be changed with a moment's notice and they've just got to like it or lump it.

Meanwhile, the march of the beauty pageant continues.

Grrrrrrrr

Whatever the reason, its true that 3 tsv's in a short space of time have now been cancelled, - unheard of in the past, - 'times they are a changin' "
 
I suppose the penalty is that the supplier eventually comes up with the originally ordered volume but has no QVC TSV day in which to offload the product quickly. I imagine that is precisely the sort of thing which can cause cashflow issues.
 
I like watching Eurovision, precisely because it is so bad (and memories of childhood excitement) I need to surf the web though to stop getting totally bored. Best bit coming up, the results!

Just had my packet of Crisps but alas no G&T as I forgot to get the tonic. :(
 
I like to UK entry. I was hoping they were going to have a couple of Strictly dancers on stage do the Charleston along with them.
