Another great place I like to go shopping on the Internet is www.qvc.com because they have some very unique things there. And since I love the Cooks Essential’s™ bake ware; cookware, pots, pans and utensils and the only place to get them is at www.qvc.com because they are made exclusively for QVC, well I simply have to shop there from time to time. I have several of these wonderful items and I have either bought them for myself or received them as gifts from my daughter.
The Online Store
When you go to www.qvc.com you will find a wonderful, full homepage. Across the top you of any page you will always find links that will take you to: Your shopping cart, my account, order status, and customer service.
You will also find links across the top for the items they carry such as: Accessories and shoes, apparel, beauty, cooking and dining, electronics, gifts, health and beauty, toys, crafts and leisure and of course clearance. Each of these links will take you to a different page offering you all the items available.
You can shop by category or host picks. Each of these is easily accessible from the homepage, usually found in top center.
And of course over on the left hand side of the page you always the same links as above that will help your visit there to be easier. The categories on the left hand side a broken down a bit more than the links across the top. Whichever category you are going to you will be given more choices in helping you narrow down your search. You can also use the search engine they provide at the top, right of the page for a specific item.
You can order online or via telephone. Each item on the Online store will always show you what it will cost to ship said item to you. You can also ship to other people in the family and provide gift-wrapping if you would like. Your order will usually come in about a week, sometimes sooner and sometimes longer depending on availability. I always receive an email letting me know that my order was received and then I can track my order if want to.
Currently on the homepage you will find specific links to jewelry sales and specials, Spring sales, and getting into the Look! Each of these areas will take you to a different page for further information.
You can also always find out what time specific items may be on their TV show. This allows you to get a better look at certain items of interest and of course to get ideas on how to use these items.
You can also see the current item that is being sold on the TV. This is really cool so that you don’t miss the bargain that may be going on something you want or need. You can also watch the live show at anytime right from their homepage! This is cool too! Of course they offer 24-hour help.
You can also see great pictures of all the jewelry they have for sale with information about each piece. Some of their jewelry is really nice and not priced so bad. And some is priced rather high I think and for those type items I go into an actual Jewelry Store for.
Contact
You can of course go to the website at:
www.qvc.com
or call at:
1-888-345-5788
or watch them on TV, live!
How I feel
www.qvc.com offers so much. You can set up an account with them and use their QVC card, which I do not or use your major credit card or bankcard. I use my bankcard that way any item I get is paid for! This is the way to go if you can.
I love having the program guide available to me because sometimes I like to watch QVC on my TV. I certainly don’t always buy from them but I sure do get some great ideas on cooking and clothing and decorating. And that is a free thing! And I also have to admit that some of those people selling stuff get very excited sometimes and is rather funny to watch!
I love being able to get around the QVC online store with such ease. The pages load quickly and I can always get information on any item. Most of the time I always have a picture that I can enlarge, information about the item, price, s/h charges and gift-wrapping choices (if I should want that.) Now, I admit that the shipping and handling can get a little high, at least I think so, but over all, compared to other online stores QVC’s is not to bad. Wal Mart for instance, has one of the highest s/h rates for Online Shopping! Most of the time though www.qvc.com will offer a discounted s/h rate for buying 2 or more items. Most places don’t offer that at all! The standard s/h charge is around 4.00 for most items in a single order. Slightly higher based on weight. Actually, shipping is really based on weight with QVC I believe.
I also like being able to see about any Product Recall information at any time. This link is found at the bottom of the page.
You can find just about anything you could ever want at www.qvc.com. This is a great place to shop for wedding gifts, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, and the list goes on and on!
I must also say something about the lifetime warranty that comes with the Cooks Essentials. My oldest had bought me one of those Cooks Essentials frying pans (review found here: http://www.epinions.com/content_69192683140) and the glass lid burst while cooking! I was so upset! But, QVC made it right! I called them and told them it was a gift for me by my daughter, I gave them here name and address and they were able to find her account to verify that she had sent the item to me after I verified my own name and address. They sent me out a new lid at no charge to me.! Now that was service! They were very friendly to me and very helpful. At the time this lid burst I had had it for just a couple of months. Also, with the same frying pan, it started loosing it shine. Well, these pans are guaranteed not to loose the shine. I called the Customer Service department, verified all information and they sent me out a new pan with a new lid. And I got to keep the old one! And at no cost to me. So, I personally know that they honor their lifetime warranty.
I could be here all day talking about the great things at www.qvc.com and never get tired of doing so. You, the reader may though, so I will close with what I have gotten so far.
I do suggest that you look around their site and consider them when needing to buy something.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
