Then you would run into the same skullduggery if you bought the
name-brand product at Sears, JCP, Target or Walmart. And you wouldn't
have a 30-day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee. I just think
people have the opinion that QVC is a bunch of hucksters because of
the method (talking) of sales. Personally, I like it. In brick and
mortar stores you can't find anyone who knows anything about the
product. On QVC, a company rep comes in and demos the product and
tells you all about it. I hate shopping in stores. I don't like
driving all over town to find what I want. How often do we go
shopping and find exactly what we want but can't find it in our size,
color or a complete set or the accessories? However, as with any
store, you get what you pay for. There is no protection anywhere for
ninny's who can't follow directions or use common sense.
Homily over. . .
