How many TSVs are there? Gone are the days we ( some) sat up ‘til midnight to dive onto the TSV of the day. Now they go on for days, sign of the times?
I’m glad I’m not the only one . I get completely lost.These days, most are available a week in advance to buy. By the time the day of the actual TSV I have forgotten what it is supposed to be.
Then what would we have to talk/laugh about? Seriously though I would like their extortionate pricing, ridiculous p&p charges, general inconvenience, and not least their vulnerable customers who are blindly throwing money their way to be highlighted outside of the shopping telly bubble. If they got a seriously bad reputation then they'd have clean up their act big time. Never gonna happen though. Despite being the biggest shopping channel globally, they're still fairly niche and slide under the radar. The sit up channels received complaint after complaint because of their tactics, and eventually paid the price. Q however, are pretty transparent in what they do. Whilst there's people who are prepared to spend £200 to get a couple of vest tops home, and then pay even more money if they need to return them, they'll never change. The only thing that will have any impact is if customers vote with their feet (well fingers really) and stop giving them their custom. Too many addicts as well as those who are wealthy enough not to bother to shop around!I agree. If QVC stopped broadcasting it wouldn’t bother me.
If they stopped broadcasting, which is very unlikely, they’d presumably still have a website. That would give us something to laugh about because all know what “technical experts” they have working on it.
Are there really that many? All the stories I've read about the homes of the deceased being full of products from the Q have been from the US. I've never heard the Q mentioned on the programmes that feature Brits who max out their credit cards & spend a fortune buying designer coffees.Then what would we have to talk/laugh about?

Possibly 'cause there's still a bit of stigma about tv shopping channels, and people don't readily admit to using them, let alone getting into debt because of them. A bit of a guilty secret for some, and of course there's the being able to place orders even if you aren't online. It obviously won't be a big a problem as it is in the US, but I wouldn't suprise if it wasn't a lot bigger than we think!Are there really that many?
