I've been shopping with shophq for about 5 years now and I can't say enough about them. Customer service is great, ordering an item is easy, items are just as they were presented on tv, and shipping is fast. I RECOMMEND this shopping network to everyone who is looking for quality at an affordable price. Believe me when I say, you'll be glad you chose shophq as your go to shopping place. I know I am and couldn't be happier!!

I purchased a Patricia Nash handbag as a gift to my Mom for Christmas. Upon receipt and inspection, hair was found in the bag. DISGUSTING! I called ShopHQ to remedy this issue before the holiday. They will not cross ship, are inflexible regarding when returned merchandise is received thus reshipped, but eager to take a customer's money without offering some mutually agreeable remedy in the meantime. After waiting 3 weeks (no credit issued for the first used bag yet), I called and was finally shipped another handbag and swipe to my credit card. It was received 1/9/15 and, upon inspection, again, ShopHQ shipped yet another used bag!!! I found $ .21 in the outside slip pocket. Really?!?
Is there not a law forbidding an electronic retailer selling used merchandise as new without informing the customer? They charged me new handbag prices yet shipped something I had no idea was a returned item. So I was offered an account credit with an expiration date, no doubt. I didn't want that, I wanted what I purchased, new. I informed the designer via her website this day, and it is my hope she will find this practice as abhorrent as I. I will be reaching out to governmental consumer rights resources, trying to find relief.

I ordered a 55" JVC on 12/12/14 as a Christmas gift for my wife. On 12/16 I was advised it was shipped & would arrive 12/23. I intentionally stayed home all day awaiting delivery even though I had tons of holiday errands to run! Alas, at 6:30 pm I realized no delivery was coming! Nor, did it arrive on the 24th! On the 26th after not hearing from the shipper, or ShopHQ I decided to call ShopHQ. I was told adamantly by a "Supervisor" that they would call the shipper first thing Monday morning 12/29 to find out what the problem was and escalate the shipment! At 4:30 pm Monday 12/29 I still hadn't received a call back from ShopHQ or the shipper. I called back to try to speak to a supervisor to find out what the situation or status was. I was told the supervisors were too busy & I could only go to a voicemail & they would get back to me back in 3 to 5 days!
Since that was not satisfactory, I decided to cancel the order. They had already charged my credit card $293 and were in the process of deducting the 2nd installment of $293 and I had not even received the TV yet!!! When I asked how long it would be before my money was returned I was told 2-3 weeks! I wanted to purchase another TV for my wife but because they were holding my money hostage I couldn't! I asked over and over to speak to a supervisor but it was all in vain! As of this minute Shop HQ has over $600 of my money, I've not received a call back and have no way to do anything about it! My opinion is if you buy from ShopHQ you have no one to blame but yourself you're the fool! Be forwarned!

I ordered and to my surprise I got a set of 5 "trial size" Clinique products. Shop HQ charged me $62 + shipping. When my order arrived I was astounded to see that the items were packaged by Clinique with the words "Free Gift" on their box. This means that Shop HQ bought FREE GIFTS from Clinique...and sold them to me at a ridiculous profit. I'm sending the "free gift" right back to them (btw: no return label was included with my delivery. I sat on hold for 1 hour with horrible Customer Service to have one sent to me). I'M DONE with Shop HQ. Quality, selection and service has declined since their switch from "Shop NBC". If I were NBC, I wouldn't want my name associated with this company either. NO MORE SHOPPING WITH SHOP HQ.

ShopHQ had aired that the Hercules helicopters was guaranteed to be here by Xmas. So we bought 4 of them, we got two yesterday. We will get one today. And the other won't make it at all because they said we will have to reorder. Now we have to return all of them so we're not in fair to the children this Xmas. They said they can't do anything. So the guarantee was false advertisement. Because there is no compensation or even effort to compensate for their error. They ruin Xmas and don't even care.

When advertising or attempting to sell a product, all information about the product should be disclosed! Cozelle Microfiber Sheets: Worst sheets I have ever purchased. Colors are great. Stitching is less than adequate (very poor and loose). Pillowcases only have one hemmed side stitched to the case. The elastic that goes around the bottom fitted sheet isn't even stitched to the sheet! It is lose inside the small hem! Why aren't these negatives noted prior to purchase by the customer? However, I'm sure they wouldn't sell if this was the case! I wrote and they offered to let me return them for a refund. But it just isn't worth my time, effort or money as it is too late and too close to Christmas.

Got a wrong item, instead a cover for a D2 tablet, 12.99, they send me the tablet, cost 70.00. I am trying to return it, they do not understand my predicament. I need some advice in this matter. I require proper documentation for their ERROR. Help. Am I wrong in this? I thought good faith and honesty was important. The warehouse send the wrong item, and now I am trying to fix their mistake. I had hit a brick wall with them. They want me to send it, yes, but no document to sustain the problem. I was stupid to report this or honest to do it? I don't have my voice due to laryngitis, it has been a very hard situation.

I recently placed an order on ShopHQ for a very expensive item and was told I'd get an email receipt. After a week of waiting I called to check on the order. First, I was on hold for over 5 minutes (unacceptable). When I was FINALLY connected to a rep, I was told there was no record of an order for me. When I placed the order I talked directly to a rep and apparently, for whatever reason, she never placed the order. I won't be ordering anything else from ShopHQ - I'll go back to HSN & QVC.

I never considered buying anything from any home shopping network, especially ShopHQ, because everything is overpriced, superfluous, or just plain crappy. One night while channel surfing, I saw my favorite brand of cold weather boot, EMU, on ShopHq. I had never seen that particular model. The host said it had been discontinued and EMU made it available only through Shophq. I figured it more like EMU was getting rid of the stock. I researched the model, saw that it couldn't be found even on ebay, and decided, based on the pairs of EMU boots I owned over the years, that this was a good boot. If I really didn't like it, I knew I could resell it on ebay. It definitely wasn't bargain priced, but, at $169, it was priced at least $30 below a similar style. I placed my order online and used valuepay.
The boots arrived when expected and they are great. Excellent EMU quality. Lighter in the sole than other pairs which I actually like. I knew they run large and had ordered down a 1/2 size. All EMUs are very snug when first worn. Because they are sheepskin, they stretch over time to conform to your foot. This style was touted as waterproof. Definitely - I wore them out in a pouring rain and the water beaded off. I feel like my experience is exceptional. I know that most of the name brand items on Hns are made for Hs, and overpriced. Buyer beware, definitely.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE. I placed an ordered for a router that was on "valuepay" and had a decent price when compared to Amazon and other websites. A day later I check my order status and it displays as "cancelled" with no further information. Baffled by this I checked my email to see if I got any sort of correspondence regarding the cancellation. I certainly DID NOT cancel my order. Their website seems like it was designed by a first year web design student and the overall integrity of the company seems incredibly POOR. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE.

I ordered four (4) of the crystal Santa sleighs. When ordering they told me about when they should arrive. I waited nothing. They had sent all four (4) to my daughter-in-law's home. She lives in Utah I live in Alaska. Not too close! It cost her $17.98 each to mail. When I called the first time she said they would give a credit of $20.00 and pay for the shipping here. I called today (I received an e-mail with the receipts) was told they would give me $20.00 for the trouble and $4.99 for each one. Not even close to what it is going to cost me to correct THEIR error. I was not the one who sent them to Utah - THEY were. Why should I have to pay for their mistakes? I thought they were a pretty good company, but they sure have changed my mind. Must be nice to be able to have someone else pay for your goof ups!!

Bottom line is no one can tell me why these product have not shipped. And I think they have some totally RUDE Customer Service Representatives who don't know how to do their jobs.

Warning to people who shop on those shopping channels. What SHOPHQ, HSN QVC will not tell you about the diamond jewelry. The peddle, those tiny diamonds in those pieces, are shavings from diamond cutters left over from cutting that can't be used for anything else. Those left over are purchased by those shopping channels when they purchase diamond jewelry for jewelry shows. They buy those by the masses for hardly any money. They are put together in India, China, Japan, Thailand, and then selling them to the public at high, outrageous prices. Those shavings have no value. They are valueless and worthless. To make it sound better, those slivers have no value whatsoever. Keep your money in your wallet or you will be scammed by those shopping channels. They are ruthless. They couldn't care less what they sell to you as long as the customer buys those valueless diamond shavings.

Unfortunately, SHQP CSRs are unfamiliar with the products they sell, the shows that are broadcast and the companies from where the products come. Marquis by Waterford makes 2 types of items, lead crystal and 'Crystalline' (a glass product used by Waterford to allow for lower price points). Have been a customer since SHQP was Shop NBC. It was initially wonderful to be able to find Waterford and Waterford brand products for an affordable price. However, recently, I have encountered the fact that broadcast shows state the product is lead crystal. When you receive, the product is mark w/ lead crystal white sticker. However, ALL of the SHQP CSR including supervisor are claiming that ALL Marquis by Waterford items are 'Crystalline' regardless what they are being broadcast as and regardless of what the item has on it upon receipt.
Here's the thing, SHQP CSRs are ignorant about the shows, unfamiliar with the Waterford company and clueless about the products that they sell. This provincial inefficiency has caused frustration and a new found lack of trust in not only the broadcast shows but the products as well. Could it be that SHQP is broadcasting 'lead crystal' and selling 'Crystalline' bearing false white lead crystal labels affixed to the bottom of their items? By a statement of a SHQP CSR supervisor, I was asked if I wanted the 800 number to Waterford so that 'I' could contact them. How un-customer service like... Yes? All of this came about because recently, SHQP has been specifying 'Crystalline' in their broadcasts as of this year.
When I questioned purchases dating back to 2012, I was told that regardless of what 'I' thought, "Marquis by Waterford products are ALL crystalline." I demanded that my money and the shipping costs be reimbursed to me, with the shipping costs paid by SHQP for the return of these items. The SHQP supervisor told me no, by no uncertain terms because the purchases were 'too old'. He went so far as to read to me the history of Marquis by Waterford "... Built upon centuries of tradition, Waterford’s most affordable collection contains designs crafted from crystal and Crystalline, a premium glass construction offering the same weight and clarity of lead crystal" and then attempting to educate me about crystalline which is glass, but as he put it "crystal without the lead." I was also told by a SHQP CSR that crystalline satisfied a Prop 65 issue.
All in all, it has come to light that there is a great disparity between the SHQP broadcasts, the Waterford & Waterford brand items, and the training/working knowledge of their CSRs. Do not know if I will continue to be a loyal SHQP customer after all of this. But have reached out to one of the Public Figure Hosts of the Waterford shows, and will be inquiring in hard copy to the executive headquarters of SHQP. The jury is still out.

Proscan 10.1 inch tablet - I am very upset. I paid good money for this tablet and as soon as the 90 days were up it started not coming on right and I would have to reboot it. Then I had to take it back to factory settings and then every time I shut it off, it wouldn't save anything. No wonder they were a good price. They are only good for 90 days. I have tried everything and it now gets stuck on the word Android and never does anything else. You can't get any info on these tablets from the company online.

I bought the food slicer for 89.95 and an extended warranty and received the slicer, no problem. The problem lies when I went to nesco to register the slicer. Right on the front page was the slicer for 49.95. I contacted ShopHQ and told them about this and was told that they would not honor the price difference and they always advertise the lowest prices and you can go to the product website and find it higher. I think Hq should sell the unit for the price nesco is advertising it for but they won't. Well I have decided to send the unit back and no longer shop at this site. I wonder how many more products they sell, you can find it cheaper at the product site. Shame on you ShopHQ, I am done with you.

Received a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727 cell phone as a gift. Came with a 12-month warranty. Had trouble with it now and then. Two months into use, the display would not operate -- dark screen, but navigational buttons on frame would light up. Examined it under bright light and discovered a lightning-shaped hairline fracture on the interior bezel -- the exterior bezel was smooth and intact. Assumed this to be the problem. Emailed customer service, was given Samsung's number. Samsung reviewed the device's IMEI number and apologized that they could not honor the warranty, because 1) Shop HQ is not an authorized dealer 2) Shop HQ had sold an out-dated device 3) Shop HQ had sold a device that was already so old, its 12-month warranty had long ago expired.
Re-contacted ShopHQ. Was given a number to their Customer Service "CCR" (which I found out was a subcontracted warranty company), and after spending nearly a week explaining, describing, and photographing the cell phone so that it could be determined fit for fixing or refunding or replacing, I received an email stating they could not help me because I couldn't verify that the device arrived with a problem. So, advised ShopHQ of this, and received an email stating they could do nothing for me. Recited their "30 Day Return" policy, offered a murky conflation of manufacturer's warranty policies and their own. But for me, it meant I received Nothing. Nothing. They received payment, they knowingly shipped a possibly defective and assuredly outdated and warranty-expired device which they had advertised to be new and under warranty for the next 12 months. I am more than offended, disgusted, and appalled by their policies and procedures. They certainly stole from me and took no responsibility for ethical resolution. Shameful.

On March 28, 2014 I purchased a PROSCAN 10.1 Google certified Android tablet for a total of $145.61. The product came with a carrying case and keyboard. I thought it was a really good deal for the price. I noticed the more I used the system the slower it got. I went to use the product towards the end of last month only to discover the tablet cannot locate the Google Android operating system. I reset the product several time, money wasted.
I called SHOPNBC and was told to call Proscan customer service number which I did. After a 10 wait on the line I was told the company was located in CANADA and they could only send me a refurbished product. I told them I was not interested in a refurbished product and wanted a complete refund my money. I was then given a email address and told to contact the company and I would receive a response within 48 hours. I sent a email to Curtis International on the 1 or 2 of July 2014 and have yet to receive a response.
If, at any time, I had known this product was not made in America I would never had purchased it. I felt that I was misled by SHOPNBC, at no time did I hear this product was not made in America. I came to the conclusion that I am out of my money. Do your homework before doing business with SHOPNBC. I was told they only offer a 30 day money back guarantee on merchandise. When it comes to electronics made in undisclosed countries you are on your own. Learn from my mistake, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

I ordered a product right before Christmas. I was out of town when it arrived, but picked it up as soon as I was back about a week later. I was very excited to get the product home and try it out. But when I pulled it out I discovered it came with a European power adapter, which is useless in my American home. I double checked to make sure I didn't make a mistake and order the wrong product, but there was nothing anywhere on their website or my order that specified what country the product was for, so I figured I was safe - especially since it was shipped from within the U.S. I contacted customer service asking if I could exchange it for the country-appropriate model. Two e-mails later I still hadn't heard back from them, so I tried again. No problem, they said. They can just send out a replacement adapter that will work in my home.
Five days later that order is cancelled (I was not notified, just happened to be wondering where it was so checked on the order). Turns out they didn't have the part in stock. No biggie. So I e-mailed them again about my options, if that was a part that might come into stock or if I should just return it. Again, no response so I e-mailed again. Was told that they wouldn't be able to get the part I needed so I could return for a refund or keep for a 10% discount. I explained that the product was useless to me without a correct adapter, so why would I keep it and pay for it? So I packed it back up and returned it with their mailing label they had provided. The day after I mailed it back I receive an e-mail that they had shipped the correct adapter to me. Huh? I was told that wasn't possible, and now I've returned the product and can't get it back.
I e-mailed asking them what was going on and telling them to cancel the order. Again, no response. So I e-mailed again stating the product was returned so I had no use for the adapter, so please cancel the shipment. Finally days later I get a really nasty e-mail back that they can't cancel orders over e-mail and I should have called--well I didn't place the order to begin with, so how is this my problem, especially since that was never mentioned in any of the previous conversations with them? So I called UPS and had the package held at their facility since I didn't want to accept delivery of it, then told them what I did and that they could deal with it from there. After all was said and done, they charged me a $14 restocking fee for a product they sent me that I wasn't even able to use. Will NEVER order from them again.

Used Value Pay a few times in the past. This particular time apparently they could not recognize that I had an address change despite shipping my product to the new address when they attempted to charge the card. This endeavor to believe led to the card declining. After more than a dozen phone calls and several discussions with managers, it still was not fixed. At this point, I had to call again just to pay it off once and for all. The management team was snide and uncaring. They could care less that I cancelled my account with them in offered no reconciliation whatsoever. Do not, I repeat, do not use the Shop HQ in Value Pay if you value your sanity.

I ordered a size 8 ring using the ShopHQ site on February 5, 2014; I received the order confirmation via e-mail. When I went online to check the delivery status on February 7, the order had been cancelled; customer Service informed me that the cancellation was due to the fact they were out of stock. I do not believe that, as I accessed the item online on February 6, 2014 and the inventory still showed sizes available for size 7 and 8. This is the second time the organization has pulled this on me. Both for rather expensive items... on sale. They should be ashamed; btw, I never received an e-mail telling me the order had been cancelled.

We purchased a couple tablets from ShopNBC in Sept 2013. A couple weeks later, we had problems with them, charging problems. We contacted ShopNBC and they told us to send them back to Maylong the manufacturer company, we did. Maylong said that it would take 6 weeks for repairs?? After 6 weeks, called Maylong and no one answered the phone call. Called ShopNBC, they told us they will follow up and call us within 72 hours. A week later, I called ShopNBC and told me that the lady that took the call made a mistake putting the order that they will call me again within 72 hours. 72 hours went by, no calls. Called Maylong, they told us they have sent the tablets back on Nov. 7, 2013 that I have received the tablets by Nov. 12, 2013... Guess what, I never received the tablets.

Only reason there is 1 star is because you can do negative! I was watching SHOPNBC.COM and they had a Toshiba hard drive that I wanted to purchase but had a question about the product 439-723. I CALLED TO GET INFO the rep didn't know the answer so she said that she would put me through so I could ask the Toshiba rep Elliot. She transferred me but they would NOT answer. This went on for 3 to 4 hours. So I called back again angry!
So finally I got a answer that I would have to from this rep that you can use on a Mac & PC but you must re-defrag. I said if you do this then you will lose all files. She says no you won’t BS! I said I wanted to talk with the Toshiba rep Elliot she said he is in a different building and would not call over there so I could speak with him, NOT THEIR POLICY! And this was within 3 min of him being off the air. So I said I wanted to speak with manager. Said she was on another call so within 24 to 48 hours she would call me back, I said unacceptable. So after waiting approx. 2 to 3 min Kelly got on phone. I explained what had been going on. She said only thing I could do is call Toshiba for answers. Now I had gotten a number from previous rep but she gave me 2 other numbers. Get this, all 3 of the numbers were wrong so I looked up on internet and got correct number.
I called them and they said they have had numerous complaints about this product as well as others. I filled a complaint with them and suggested that they stay with QVC as they have ALWAYS found answers to questions. I have had in no longer than 2 hours NOT 3 TO 5 DAYS!

Only downside is you don’t always get the software bundle from Fry’s but QVC usually does SHOPNBC does not care about their customers.

About 2 or 3 months ago I opened a ShopNBC credit card. Since that date, I was informed by their Customer Services Representative that I cannot use the account which I have been using for at least 7 years with this new card. They said I had an OLDER account and would need to use THAT one in order to use my ShopNBC card. I didn't remember the old one, however, I did what they said. I recently ordered a set of very expensive sheets, which I really wanted, and they sent it to an address that I lived at over 7 years ago! Now they are giving me all sorts of excuses why they can't fix their error! I told them to consolidate both accounts into one.
Why can't I use my ShopNBC card on the account I have been using for the past 7 years? They told me I have to try to find out who lives in that house and try to get back my sheets!!! Are you kidding me? That address is more than 20 miles from my home through very heavy traffic, and do you think they are going to give me back an unopened set of sheets, even if I were willing to do ShopNBC's job for them? You know they have seen this as a "gift" and they are using those sheets, and I paid for them, and ShopNBC is not doing anything to fix this problem, other than telling me what "I" need to do!!!!
I am absolutely furious! I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars with ShopNBC for about 10 years now, and they are going to treat their long-term customers this way? If this is not fixed by tomorrow afternoon (Friday, August 30, 2019) close of business, I will be closing my account all together and I will report them to the Better Business Bureau, the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Attorney General, and whomever else falls into the category of being an advocate for consumers who are treated badly. One of the CSRs even told me I could not use my NBC card anymore, and she gave me a new password, as they had done something to the one I created, and this new password is 68 CHARACTERS LONG!!!

Just tried to purchase a lamp on easy pay on Shop NBC, but was not given the option. Why? Don't know. I have a very minimum balance, have never been late with a payment, usually 10 days early.

I don't get it, I am just trying to build up my credit and I have a pretty good score, so it will be interesting to see what the issue is. I think I may just pay it off and cancel it, its not that important to me. They have a very bad reputation as it is, so I think I may just let this one go.

As a very careful shopper, who by no means takes advantage of return policies, I received an email on 6/10/13 from ShopNBC warning me that my purchases in 2012 showed a 50 percent return rate. And, if that continues, I would be barred from shopping there in the future. Let me say this, there are many legit reasons for returns - defective merchandise (of which there were many), wrong size, and just plain junky stuff that their website made to look much better. With that said, I pay for each and every return. So it's not like I returned items for the fun of it. I am now returning my last two purchases even though I intended to keep them. In no way do I ever want anything to do with a company that threatens me in this way. Good riddance, ShopNBC!

I purchased a Nintendo DS for my granddaughter about a year and a half ago. I made three of the value pays just fine. On the third, I noticed the billing was a different format and that the amount was more than it should be. I assumed that I had missed an easy pay somehow and made the payment even though it was more than 2 easy pays together and that should have completed the purchase. Then the next month, I got billed $79.00 that again did not match the amount in any way. I called ShopNBC and they said that the value pays were paid in full and the account was fine. I then started receiving calls from ShopNBC... I couldn't figure out what was going on.
Several hours spent calling different customer service numbers, I realize that ShopNBC and Shop BC credit card are two different companies and do not communicate with each other. Now I am dealing with GE Money Bank. I still do not know how GE Money Bank intercepted my easy pays. I requested documentation and they keep sending the same 3 statements - nothing prior to that when I was making my easy pays to ShopNBC. I requested that it go to the resolution department, and never heard anything from them except another copy of the same 3 statements. They opened the account back up and started charging late fees. I offered to pay the $79.00 just to stop the harassment, but they wouldn't accept it.
This company is based in India. It is like talking to a brick wall. They just keep repeating the information they have and not understanding what you are trying to tell them. Now it has gone to one lawyer who was very insulting, rude and did not even want to hear my side. He gave up and now another one is harassing me with calls and letters. I am not going to pay $249.00 to these people for an item that is paid for already. There is no way to resolve this matter except to let it continue to ruin my credit. I am tempted to pay the money, but it is a matter of principle at this point. They have already ruined my credit for no reason. I have purchased many things from ShopNBC, but they have lost a customer over this issue.

I spoke to Janet today, 4-19-2013, phone number 1-866-597-1513 and the supervisor/mgr. Dominic. I had opened a ShopNBC credit card and I was not advised that if you close your account, you have to wait 1 year to re-apply. I was told that I was notified of their policies, but I was not. I had a credit score of 820 and now, due to the fact that I did re-apply for this credit card twice, this made my credit score go down. The letter that I just received from GE Capital Retail Bank Creditor for the denial said the reason was "Previous Application Approved." That is not enough information and the employees of ShopNBC are not aware of this, as they are not the creditor, but they do promote the credit card 100% in order to obtain more business.
I sustained in April 2008 a severe head trauma Injury, and I have short term memory. Therefore, I asked Dominic to send me the letters that the company he works for, so that I have proof of what they are telling me. I was refused to obtain the documentation, and then I was told to write to Value Vision Media Inc. if I was told verbally that the company would not send me all the documentation to me, so that I may review their policies, as they caused my credit score to take a hit, and it takes 3 years to repair.
This is an injustice and with a refusal to obtain the documentation and policies that they are going by, I can't know if they are lying if they don't send me a copy of all the information that they based their decisions on. This is unfair practice and under the Constitution, I have a right to all evidence for my records.
I would like a copy of all documentation that states all the information, as I was advised today, 4-19-13, of their policies. However, I was refused entitlement in regards to the documentation that they claim they notified me and that I can wait one year to re-apply, but it's on my credit report and it will remain on my credit report for 3-7 years. I had a head injury trauma in 2008, which caused permanent short term memory. I wanted to speak to the CEO, but I was told that I had to write only to an address.

When I asked them about it, they said it was tax on the return shipping and handling. That is bogus, because using their tax rate, the tax should have been $.52.

Acer 17" Aspire PCs sold by Shop NBC are used, not new. I spent $1,200 on a 17" Acer PC in January 2010 from my home in Florida. I have written to them at least 55 times and have documented every time with the date, time and the name of the person with whom I spoke. After the first year warranty was expired, I called their alternate warranty company. I gave all the information to a young lady name Sanyia (has a foreign but quite understandable accent). She looked into my serial number and the product from Acer sold by Shop NBC on TV. She had no doubt at all, advised me that the unit I received was a refurbished unit.
The PC's screen went blank after less than 2 weeks and it has not worked since. I sent it to the Acer company during the first year and received the unit back without any explanation. The only response I got was the cost of the shipping to and from Acer in Texas. I called Acer and all they could say was, "We can't find the information, but this computer's motherboard was damaged by fluid." $1,200 is a lot of money to me and to a lot of other people too. After dealing with this alleged head of Consumer Affairs, I do have his name on the calendar, I started to keep up after this issue began. He said I would receive either a completely new Acer 17" PC or I would receive a complete refund within 3 days.
I heard back from him once after speaking with him and then when I called for a full 2 weeks every single day, I never received another return call from this man or any other Shop NBC person or any Acer person again. I now have to pay for an attorney since I know and they know they sent me a refurbished unit, not a new one. At this point folks, all I can say is never even consider buying any computer from Shop NBC again. You will be sent a broken or a used unit. Plus if you're like me, you're just a regular nurse who works with people who are ill and who need you to be at your best.

I deal with ShopNBC on a regular basis and most of the time, with no problems. The problem I am dealing with now is their adjustment to sale items. ShopNBC's policy is, if an item goes on sale within 30 days for less than you paid for, you get a refund of the difference. The problem is you don't get taxes back with the refund difference. If they charge me taxes on the full price of the item, I should be getting back the taxes on the difference as well. If you take the difference without tax, they apply it to the item in question. If you request "taxes back on the item", they just give you a shop credit. And you have to ask for the taxes back on the refunded amount. I'm sure most people do not know enough to ask for their tax money back on adjustments. They seem to be making a lot of money if they are keeping the tax money due back to the customer on adjustments. This is not a one time deal.
Lately, I keep a close eye on the items I purchase and if they go on sale within 30 days, I call for an adjustment. I only noticed within the past few weeks about the no refund of taxes on the refunded adjustment. Ex: I ordered a ring item #125-264 for $229.50. The next day, it went on sale for $189.67. Difference is $39.83. When I called for an adjustment, the girl was only going to give me back the $39.83, without including the tax on the $39.83. When I questioned her about the taxes, she had to put me on hold then came back with the $41.11, which I got back as shop credit. No a refund of $41.11 towards the item.
I'm confused. Am I not correct in assuming that ShopNBC is basically a retail business? So let's say I go for an adjustment at Macy's, something that I bought for full price and it goes on sale within a certain amount of time, Macy's will refund the difference to me including taxes on the refunded amount? So why doesn't ShopNBC do the same? Does Minnesota have different tax laws than most states? Thank you for your time in this matter.

Six years ago, I bought a Spectronic "HDTV" televison after seeing it on ShopNBC. I paid $850, but was promised a $150 rebate. During a week's stay in the hospital, the set was delivered. My son set it up. At the time, my cable service was analog. The set operated fine in analog.
The first problem I had was in receiving the $150 rebate. I received no paperwork to request the rebate so called ShopNBC. They told me they were not responsible for rebates and to call another company. When I called the other company, they said they would send me the form. I waited for a week and again called them. They told me that they were not going to send it, because the time period had expired. This was approximately 3 weeks after I ordered the set.
Six years later, my cable finally went digital. Imagine my surprise when messages on several channels informed me that I could not get digital signal. When I called the cable company, they indeed confirmed that the set could not get a digital signal. Now, the frame in the front of the set has letters HDTV. On the back, there are hook-ups for analog or digital antennas . The setup instructions also describe setting up for digital signal!
I believe someone owes me $850, and ShopNBC and the manufacturer should be charged with fraud and false advertizing. I realize that being able to write this complaint will probably be my only satisfaction; they have more lawyers than I do. However, if I can save one or more people from shopping with them, I'll feel somewhat vindicated.

After many tries, he told me that there would be $10 for the shipping. I didn't know about it because when I purchased through their website, I paid for the parts and there was no shipping charge. I then discovered that it was in the invoice they sent me after three days of the purchase. So, I asked him to tell me how can I pay the $10. He told me to buy $10 PayPal card and send it to them. Unfortunately, it is not available in my cities so I asked him for another way. He told me, "Sorry, there is no other way."
Then, I sent a message through their website, asking them to give me any other option to pay $10. After that, they sent me an email telling me that they canceled the $10. Unfortunately, that was two weeks or more and I did not receive any information about my order. I still did not receive my parts and I sent them two emails with no answer until now.

I ordered a 46" Toshiba TV from ShopNBC and when it arrived, the screen was damaged. It was damaged when it was loaded onto the UPS truck. The driver did not bother to give it to me. He told me to call and tell them that I refused it due to damage. The shipper received it back on 12 Aug 2011. Every time I contact ShopNBC, the person gives me a different waiting period.

Apparently, ShopNBC likes to defraud the public!
I purchased two "24K Gold" bracelets from ShopNBC back when the prices of gold were around $300/$400 oz. Today, I took them to three different gold dealers/jewelers to see what they would be worth, since the price of gold is 4-5x what it was when I purchased them.
All three of the places did tests on the bracelets to see if they were really 24K gold, even though the clasp was marked 99.99. Imagine my shock/anger when I was told by all of them that the bracelets don't even test out to be 18K gold! So, even though the price of gold has increased so much, the bracelets are woth less today than what I paid them for!
I offered ShopNBC an opportunity to explain why they sold less than 18K as 24K. So far, nothing. Apparently, their goal and the goal of Lambert Chang is to defraud the public!

So as to not seem like a personal attack, I'll refer to ShopNBC vice using the form of "you", doesn't seem to understand: (1) I've talked to the local regional supervisor of Alexandria, VA Post Office. He went over the information & re-instated the delivery confirmation number so that it could be seen yet again by ShopNBC; (2) I purchased delivery confirmation to avoid this very scenario. They (USPS) have already said they are not responsible since it was sealed, signed for and delivered; (3) What ShopNBC has now done is make me, the customer, responsible for the vendor's in-action to account in a timely fashion a discrepancy. Your very email states that the vendor discovered (and how long after the delivery date of 1/10/11 are they saying this) the box was empty, and I was previously told it was received. I, as the customer, have no responsibility to your vendor in all the correspondence back to me, the one consistency is what the vendor said. That is not my concern.
My concern is how ShopNBC is going to resolve my complaint. I did everything that needed to be done. I never took the contents out of the box. When it left my post office, it had (1) X-BOX and all that came with it. It was weighed and based on that weight it cost me $13.61 to mail. I showed you proof of everything I just stated. The proof was the delivery confirmation itself, and the receipt which confirmed both the delivery confirmation tracking number as well as the cost connected to said confirmation number. As of today, 5-05-11, I spoke with yet another ShopNBC representative who agreed it did sound like I got a bad deal, but at the end of the day, apparently based on the fact that the vendor (really beginning to hate that word! ) now says the box was "located" (yet another indication that something is off with said vendor), the words located and the fact that it was great lapse in the timeline in all concerned becoming aware of this "possible discrepancy indicates to me that my return package was lying around someone's warehouse! And so now I'm getting the screws put to me, the customer, to ShopNBC not the vendor .
I should not have to pay the cost of what appears to me to be issues between ShopNBC and "vendor". As the ShopNBC customer, why keep referring to the vendor as the reason for me not getting a credit issued back; my contract was with ShopNBC. As a customer service based company, ShopNBC in good faith and based on what I have shown to be a good faith effort on my part, should at the very least offer me an "in store" credit that I could use. No, ShopNBC would rather lose a customer then even make an offer, which while I may still feel I got the initial run-around, I could have at least felt vindicated and appreciated, and much more likely to spread a favorable customer service experience among other potentially new customers as opposed to spreading my frustration with dealing with this incident. Especially in today's economic trying time, while we may have the money to spend (and I speak from an avid online consumer shopper), we are becoming more and more selective about who we part our hard earned money, too, and a lot of that decision is contingent on how good was the customer service.
So far, in my trying to bring this issue to closure, I've used what amounts to approximately 4 workman hours at a cost of almost $200! Really, it should never have been this hard.
I’m out $200 for an item I don't have because I returned it and received confirmation from ShopNBC's Returns Department. This item was returned on 1-10-11, and on 5-5-11, I was told by Ms. Kesha ** of ShopNBC, president’s office, that I was basically out of luck.

I phoned an order in for Sony Google TV for 5 ValuePays. The money for the 1st ValuePay was taken. Then they canceled the order, put the money back, reordered, and took full amount out of my ATM card. They also refused to stop shipment on Feb.16 for 24 hours, then shipped it on Feb. 17. Anyway, the order was intercepted by ShopNBC to return it to the warehouse. It was back to them, and they still refuse to give my money back.
So I filed a dispute at the bank. I am disabled, and they took everything I had. I refuse to accept their mistake; I don't think it was a mistake. I think that this is a practice in which they are storing credit info and when they are short, they are billing 1000s of people at a time and holding funds as long as possible to keep their selves in business. There are far too much of the "Nothing we can do about it." going on there, as well as to many being billed and fraud any item they have in inventory that they want shipped. I think this needs to be investigated by the government to see where the money is going.

No one will contact the sender; they end up securing the sale.

I would like to issue a formal complaint against SHOPNBC. I feel that my trust and consumer rights have been violated; although I have contacted their customer service on numerous times over the past weeks, I have gotten only verbal assurance, mixed and empty promises, and verbal abuse without resolution. I am also still owed a refund of $700.
On November, after seeing a Mitsubishi 73-inch television advertised on their network for $2300, I called in to place an order. Although I had an existing account, I was told in order for me to make use of the 0% financing options on 12-month value pay would need to apply for SHOPNBC credit to make the purchase, which I did. I gave the representative all my information at which time they placed the order pending approval. I later found out after checking my personal credit card on file that they had charged the full amount and taken out the full payment of $2300.00 without my authorization. At that point I called and cancelled the orders and after 7 days they returned the funds. I later was told they could not find any credit history and I was not approved for the SHOPNBC credit options.
I called again to inquire why I was not approved and explain to the customer representative my change of address. They informed me that they had two accounts set up in my name, one with the old address and the other with the new address. After explaining my change of address, the customer representative said that they would remove the old account and keep the new account but would update my credit worthiness so that I would be able to purchase the item whenever it was advertised in the future. She further told me to place the order again whenever the item was advertised to make use of the financing options. I then placed the order a second time.
However, SHOPNBC never removed the old account and when I was approved for the credit; they only updated my old account and instead of deleting the order and went ahead to process the first order. So in fact I had two orders for the same item, one under my old account and the other under my new account. Couple days after they charged my credit card for the first installment of over $700.00 for one and a few days after took out another payment of $700.00 for other. I called SHOPNBC and notified them at which time they said one installment of $700.00 would be refunded to me and the account would be deleted. It was only the day when I scheduled the item to be delivered that I realized that I had notices for two deliveries for two of the same item. I scheduled the delivery and received one item. I called SHOPNBC immediately and was told by the representative to refuse the second delivery, which I did. The item was never delivered.
However, 7 days passed and I still did not receive the refund of $700.00 for the down payment they mistakenly took out due to the duplication, which was no fault of my own. I called SHOPNBC again at which time the representative said it would take another 7 days for the mistaken down payment to be refunded. After 10 working days on December 23rd, I called again but was told by the representative that the manufacturer needed to receive back the item in order for my refund to be process. I explained my situation and even spoke to a manager who was very rude and told me that I had placed two orders and would have to wait to be refunded. They further sent me a statement telling me that installments would be taken out for both items.
To date I have not received my refund of over $700.00. I have not received any phone calls, emails or have not contacted about my refund or the duplication. As I mention to the manager and the customer representative since I only receive one item why should I be paying for second which I never received. I subsequently called my credit card company and requested new cards. I cannot afford to pay $2300 for an item that I never received. I acknowledged that I owe for one item and world resume the agreed payments arrangements but only when my situation is resolved with regards to my refund and the erroneous charges for second item. I have made numerous phone calls to SHOPNBC, lost $700.00 in funds and is paying interest for these funds for an item that I never received. I would appreciate whatever assistance to can give on this situation because I am afraid that my credit rating would drop and would be placed in collections for a situation that is not my fault.

They also told me that I would need to mail my payment to a different address and that would be provided in the letter. Just before dinner, I received another call and just hung up. Around 8:45 pm, yet another call regarding the same issue. I told the man that the matter has been discussed and I am waiting for my letter with mailing instructions and he told me that there will be no letter, that I owed the money and in a very threatening voice said that my case will be turned over to a collection agency. I just wonder how many of my calls were tapped.
Maybe they should play them back before bothering and threatening people. If this is what you call customer service then it does not speak well at all for ShopNBC.

You will have to call the post office and the apartment complex you used to live in to see if they will return it to us but we can't do anything. This comment was made by Andrea on 10/31/2010.
I told her that I understand that this is the company policy; however, why should I have to do all the leg work? I felt that is what they should be doing, not me. I did all of what they told me to do anyway to no avail. To date, Nov 8. 2010, I have no watch. My credit card has been charged. They did not offer to send me another watch to the correct address, even though this was their mistake. They wanted to cover there own *** before they took care of my problem. They said they needed to file a claim and so on! After the claim was filed, they would reimburse me and if I wanted to, I could reorder.
You sure do know the heart of a company when they make a mistake, and they don't care about what you may be out, but more about what they might lose. They offer me nothing. I have been a Shop NBC customer for years. I will tell everyone I know that their customer service sucks. Their attitudes are pompous and arrogant. The people that represent them are geared to protect the company's interest even to the extent of stepping on their customers, those same customers that keep them in business. Let's see how long they stay in business with that attitude.

In late October I called to purchase some jewelry. But after the sales rep told me I did not qualify for their value pay, I told her right away I wanted to cancel the order. Two days later, I saw they had taken the money from my debit account. I called and complained. Before I cancelled, I told the sales rep I was moving on November 1st so they added another $15 charge for express delivery. They told me that UPS couldn't cancel and to just refuse the package, but the package never came. I know because I was home everyday packing.
I called and reported that I was upset about the delay in giving me my money back, but they now want me to do my own investigation into what happened?! So I called UPS and they told me they never had a package scheduled to be delivered to my home. I then looked NBC Home Shopping Network. NBC and found hundreds of complaints from other consumers about the same thing happening to me. I am on disability and don't make a lot of money with moving and all this have been very stressful and irritating. I thought because it was NBC, this company was legit.

I recently purchased item nos. J314474 (18" graduated grande yellow gold necklace) and J314475 (grande slip-on bracelet). The necklace was nearly impossible to open or close and the bracelet would not stay on my wrist as it was too large. They were returned in the one envelope they came in. Yet, I had two return charges. There was no return address included to send it back on my own. I am unhappy with ShopNBC and will probably order nothing more.

ShopNBC.com accepted $ for a watch which it never delivered. "Customer service" suggests I either wait longer (although we are already past the promised delivery time) or send them more money, i.e. buy the watch again.
The "customer service" department does not staff a supervisor who can take 'lost item' reports during their stated business hours. The procedure for filing a lost item claim is overly complex and lengthy, and may or may not result in funds being credited for a replacement watch (buying another watch from them being their idea of a solution to my "you didn't deliver what I paid for" problem, as noted). They don't even pretend to care that they are violating the implied contract established when they accepted the item's price for supposed delivery of the item within the stated delivery period.
Instead, ShopNBC.com seems to feel it should be just fine that they keep customer's money without delivering goods, and that dissatisfied customers can choose to either wait longer or pay more.

Shop NBC has charged my credit card for a product I never received; however, because I did not inform them immediately, they want me to pay a final payment. Shop NBC has been paid several payments for the product from my credit card since a fraud investigation by my bank; the payments from that card are no longer available. Now Shop NBC wants my new credit card numbers to charge a final payment of $13.98. I contacted Shop NBC and informed them that I do not feel that I should pay for something I have not received and they are going to send it to a third party collection anyway.
I’m getting continual harassing and ignorant phone calls where callers representing Shop NBC try to make a forthright person give in to their pressure. I have already paid them in part for the item I do not have and they still want more. I told Shop NBC to keep the funds they received and just stop asking for more and they are not satisfied.

All seemed fine but after several hours of dismantling our existing entertainment center, we hooked up and turned on the new TV only to discover the picture was completely shattered glass. It was obvious this had been drop, kicked off a plane or truck somewhere. The best ShopNBC could do was offer to have it returned (another four hours of my life I'll never get back, I'm sure) and ship another one which will take 15 to 30 days. So, we cancelled our order. Their CSRs and supervisors are extremely well "scripted."
This is not a customer centric organization. They do not care about your hard-earned dollars. Shop elsewhere, better yet right in your own communities. My husband and I are utterly disappointed and disgusted. We were very much looking forward to this new TV. Hey ShopNBC employees, update your resumes! With this kind of customer service, you won't be around long. It takes a lot of money for a corporation to get a new customer, and very little to keep loyal customers that brought them to the dance. I, on the other hand, am leaving the dance floor with another date!

This was my first purchase with ShopNBC, my first experience dealing with this company. I made a large purchase of several stained glass Tiffany-style lamps. My order totaled almost $1,000.00. I received all of my lamps except for a floor lamp. I placed my order on September 3, 2010, it is now September 24, and I continue to need to call the corporate office, customer service, and supervisors.
The reason for my continuous calls to their 'customer service' is due to the fact that I never received this one item. I was told that their policy is to launch an investigation when such issues as mine arise. This means that while they investigate, you do not get your money refunded. I placed several calls to FedEx in an attempt to find some information, their answer was that they had never received the item from ShopNBC. Of course no one at Shop NBC would accept this information, because they were conducting an investigation. I was told over the course of approximately 3 weeks, that my item was left by a door, and would be over-nighted to me. It did sound ridiculous, and it indeed was, perhaps the customer service reps get bored and enjoy playing with people.
I went to the corporate office and dealt with a person named Sean, he assured me a week ago that my money would be refunded without a problem, and apologized for my inconvenience. That very afternoon, I received a call from Anifa. She has a strong foreign accent and is difficult to understand, she told me that an investigation had to take place before my money could be refunded. Sean obviously did not give me the correct information. Anifa said she would call me by last Tuesday, no call, haven't heard from her at all. Today I reached Sean once again, and he told me that my money has been refunded to my account and I wasn't charged for delivery. How could I be charged if I never received the item!? In reality, I don't believe Sean, my feeling is that these people will say whatever it takes to get you off the phone. There is no 'customer service'. Anifa actually told me that the reps can't give you much information, or help you that much. Amazing!
Here's my advice: do not make any purchases through ShopNBC, they are in actuality scam artists, this 'investigation' nonsense is a way to take advantage of whoever does not fight to get their money returned. People are busy and engaging in this day after day is difficult, the people that work for this company do nothing to help the customers, the very reason why they are employed. There are no managers, supervisors, no one to offer you the help you need! I never received the floor lamp that I paid for, and I never received a refund. I will continue to call. As of right now, all I can say is, does anyone really want to go through this? It's not worth my time and trouble, nor anyone else's. ShopNBC should be put out of business, they are a scam!

To return it, I used their return label and it cost me $8.00! A total of 14.00 just to get their crummy product in my home then return it when I was not happy with it. Their programming and selling approach means that I very seldom tune in and have ordered only a few times. Now I've learned my lesson and I'll never order from them again.

I purchased several Suzanne Somers items in July and ShopNBC had a special deal. Instead of paying the full amount at once, they would charge 2 separate months without charging interest by using the Value Pay System and signing up for the ShopNBC credit card. I signed up for both. When I received the first statement, they added a $1.99 monthly maintenance fee so I wrote the credit card company a letter stating that after my full payment was received, I wanted the account closed. I already have many credit cards that don't charge monthly maintenance fees and I will only use them. I then paid the full amount which included the Value Pay amounts for both the first and second months.
Last week, I started receiving telephone calls from ShopNBC stating they could not bill the second month of Value Pays because the credit card company had closed my account. How could they close an account with a credit balance? I told them I had already paid the full amount and they needed to contact their credit card company to collect it. They refused to communicate with them and insisted I will do it, because they are separate entities. I then wrote a second letter documenting the sales transactions, the fact it had been paid in full, requesting that they let ShopNBC collect the full amount I paid. ShopNBC has been calling me almost every hour of every day now for a week. I refuse to speak to a company that harasses a customer for resolution when all they have to do is communicate with their credit card company. The credit card says ShopNBC and the phone number I was given for the credit card company is the same number used by ShopNBC.
I even contacted the ShopNBC Customer Service department by email and they refuse to communicate with their own credit or billing department. The facts are that the credit card company has received a letter from me and a phone call from me requesting to open the account with the credit balance so that ShopNBC can collect the amount for the second month of Value Pays. If only the Customer Service Department, Billing/Credit Department and their own Credit Card Department would communicate with each other, I wouldn't have to be harassed for a payment that I already made. I am done with ShopNBC and I will spread the word about how they treat customers! I am completely stressed out from phone harassment almost every hour of every day for the past week. I refuse to pay them using another credit card as they are requesting because I already paid the full amount on their own credit card!

I have called this ShopNBC customer service on several occasions and have been insulted and treated very poorly. They like to hide their shady practices until you have a problem. Here's a list of things they do that I had to learn the hard way.
Fact: The “30-day Return Policy" starts as soon as the item ships so this is not really 30 days, is it? Fact: If you return something for any other reason besides damaged/defective, they make you ship it back yourself and deduct your original shipping off your return amount.
Fact: If you return due to damage/defective, they still make you ship it back yourself no matter how heavy it is, then have you send a copy of your receipt to them to get a reimbursement, but here's the catch, for no more than the original shipping amount. i.e. if the original shipping was $4.99, and you pay $15 to send it back, you still only get reimbursed $4.99, penalizing the customer for receiving a defective or damaged item. Fact: If you purchase a vendor Item (item # starts with a U- or V- W-) it's a much bigger hassle to return because it's not shipped from their warehouse, it's drop shipped from a vendor, and many times the vendor doesn't accept it back. Fact: If you purchase an "auto delivery" item and send it back, this does not cancel future shipments, and the representatives do not tell you this.
Fact: They're "add and save" shipping promo only applies if additional items are purchased on the same order at the same time, and again, they do not tell you this. Fact: They're the biggest watch seller, Invicta has the most horrible customer service on earth, they keep you on hold for hours, make you pay approximately $40 to send a watch back for repair with their fake 5-year warranty, and they say it will take 6-8 weeks. Mine took 14 and once I finally got a hold of a nasty representative with them, they told me this is a normal timeframe. Fact: When you send in something for an exchange, they always process it as a return.
Fact: When you ask for a supervisor, the nasty representatives say it's not an issue for a supervisor, patronizing the customer, after demanding one, they put you on hold for 5 minutes, come back and explain again why they can't get you to a supervisor. After demanding a 2nd time, they come back after another hold and explain again that a supervisor is not available. They don't want to talk to customers and will do anything to get you off the phone and forget about your complaint. Bottom Line: any retailer is better than ShopNBC. You are better off going anywhere else, do not allow this company to take your money and insult you in the process. The American consumer is smarter than they expect and we deserve better than they are willing to offer! Loss of money, loss of time, loss of sanity due to shopping with ShopNBC.

I purchased an Astar 32" LCD HDTV in April 2007. The company is now out of business. Conveniently, for ShopNBC, the first in a series of repair issues surfaced after their 30-day return policy. I had purchased an extended warranty when I bought the TV, so I thought I was safe. The TV was "repaired" three times in the last three years. Each time I called to request repair, I was told there was no paperwork on my purchase. I complied with a request to fax all the information I had. I did this three times; once, I was given the wrong fax number and spent more than three hours trying to get the correct number. Then, I was told I'd be contacted in two days.
I was fed up so I called ShopNBC who basically told me, "Too bad, you're stuck because we only sell the TV, we don't repair them." In other words, ShopNBC is off the hook for liability; the repair company has or doesn't keep previous repair paperwork, and once the item is out of warranty, too bad. ShopNBC should honor the original agreement and, when it sells a lemon, it should compensate the buyer.
A TV is supposed to last more than three years. However, this TV was defective from the very beginning--just not within the 30-day limit ShopNBC imposes on its customers. After chatting with the ShopNBC floor supervisor, who basically listened to my complaints but offered nothing more than the original service rep who kept repeating the 30-day policy, I informed ShopNBC that I would never purchase another item from them, and I would tell everyone I knew of my experience with the company and their insensitivity to their customers. I leave this complaint as a warning to others who might consider a purchase through ShopNBC--please save yourself hours of aggravation--do not buy from ShopNBC.

Since it was after 11:30 pm when I got home and opened the package, I e-mailed customer service, and the following morning, I called customer service. I was told by the telephone rep that UPS would make three attempts to pick up from my home; after the first day came and went and no UPS, I e-mailed ShopNBC to ask about it, and they responded saying UPS will not pick up from my house, but I would have to ship it.

The e-mail also stated the following: "that only up to $13 will be reimbursed for return shipping; I have to allow up to 15 business days from the date I sent my package back to ShopNBC for my return to be processed. Once processed, the return credit will be issued back to my original method of payment, and I will be sent an email confirming the refund amount and date issued."

I have only paid out to them and other services in an attempt to get my money. They should have had quality control in place before that package was sent out. Why do I, as the customer, have to be the one who has to waste more time and money to get my original money refunded? And they apologize for any inconvenience! I understand errors happen; however, this has been terrible customer service. Payment was immediately taken from my account, and I'm still waiting for my refund.

The misrepresentation of several products as "Made in Ireland" remains on their web site.
This is the second order that I got and was misled this way. There is almost no collectible or heirloom value in Waterford Crystal that is not Made in Ireland. Waterford is the name of an Irish town for goodness sake. Anyhow, you can buy Slovenian crystal, very cheaply just about anywhere these days. So paying more than $50 for a vase or bowl made in Slovenia (no matter what the label) has no intrinsic value over the long term. It's a bad investment. So far, I have a $156 pair of candle sticks that have a real value of about $50 bucks. Waited too long to send those back, so I'm stuck with them. I shipped other Waterford items back so I'm out $16 bucks for shipping.

After which, my "claim would be submitted for consideration" of a refund! I was further told that it would take 7-10 days to e-mail me the form and another 7-10 days for them to process the "claim". How is it that an order that never left their warehouse, and was never received by UPS for delivery must now be "claimed" by me as lost?
Why am I being charged over $350 plus interest for what will take a minimum of 2 billing cycles to fix (and I’m not holding my breath on that timeframe)? ShopNBC acknowledges that these items never left their possession, but they insist that they must follow the aforementioned "procedures". Furthermore, the supervisor I spoke to, Valerie was rude and condescending. Just remember if you decide to do business with ShopNBC.

Everyone in America today (even now Walmart, for pete's sake) will at least price match for 30 days. Except ShopNBC.

In late November, I ordered 5 jewelry items, received them, and looked them over and returned them all in the same box on the same day I got them. I only got credit for the return of 1 of the five items and promptly began calling customer service as to why this happened. I spoke to Cheryl who said she would file a claim. That was on December 17, 2009. I was told and could also see that the order had been marked cancelled for all 5 items, as if they had never been sent out from the warehouse and that they would investigate why and get back to me in 7 to 10 days.
I waited...nothing. On the December 27, 2009, I called again and spoke to Jake who said he had to put in an inquiry, because nothing had been processed and would call me back in 5 to7 days. I waited...nothing. I called again on January 11, 2010 and spoke to Shelly who said she would send an e-mail inquiry and that would take 3 to 5 days for a response. I waited...nothing.
I called again on January 14, 2010 and got Christie who said she would send an e-mail inquiry. And since I am now irate and am also still being charged monthly EasyPay payments for 2 items I don't have, I demanded a supervisor and was told she would call me back. One did call me back and wanted to know how much the box weighed from the return mailing receipt (which I have no idea where it is 8 weeks later) and said to me they are blaming me, insinuating that I did not return the items.
I am incensed! This is not a small amount of money, and I am not a thief. Boxes and returns should be logged in at their warehouse with packing slips, etc., and I have had enough of this foolishness. I want the money that I am owed returned to my account ASAP please.

On December 25, 2009, I ordered a Mitsubishi television 60-inch and a TV stand at shop NBC with order number ** for $1,499 with 5 value pay of $299.80 a month with $100 rebate. On the order status, it was shipped on December 29, delivery date of 1/4/10. I was told that somebody will be calling me 3 days prior to delivery. Nobody called. I was excited with the TV so I called Shop NBC on 12/29/09 to ask about the delivery and when to expect the TV. A representative from Shop NBC told me YRC representative is supposed to call me. If I don't receive any call until December 31/09, I should give them a call, and that's exactly what I did. I called customer service of Shop NBC. I was told that it's still in transit at the time so they want me to contact YRC at 1-800-610-6500 and ask for Katy for my delivery day and time.
On 1/04/10, I called Katy for date and time of delivery. She scheduled me for 1/5/10 between 10:00 am - 2:00pm and also, she gave their number in Benicia, CA, 707-745-3781. I cancelled my other appointments to be home for the delivery. I waited and waited! Nobody showed up until finally, I can't wait any longer because it was 2:30 pm already, I called YRC in Benicia, CA at 707-745-3781 and talked to Anthony. I gave him the tracking number of my TV which is **. He was shocked and told me they don't have it in their terminal and that it was in Santa Rosa, CA. Anthony told me that he will get in touch with Santa Rosa Terminal and he will call me back as soon as he finds out what happened.
I waited for a while, no call from YRC Benicia Terminal. I could not sit around; I had to call Anthony back. He told me that Santa Rosa terminal sent it to Tracy terminal that Anthony will go there that night of 1/5/10 to pick up our shipment so he can get it to us on 1/6/10 and that he will call me first thing in the morning between 7:00 am - 8:00 am.
Again, no call from Anthony, so I had to call him again myself. Shockingly, he told me that they could not find our shipment. that they will file a claim for a lost shipment. I tried to be understanding with this matter, and he explained that this happens and sometimes, it will just show up after a few days. I actually called Anthony from YRC numerous times on 1/5/10. He apologized about what happened with our TV and he has people searching for our shipment and that if they find it, he will call me right away. Yesterday, 1/6/10, I called Anthony again for updates. Still, nothing! I am very frustrated and stressed with the whole situation, I had to quit for the day.
Today, 1/7/10, I called YRC again. I was told by Labella, I think that’s her name, that they have searched both terminals and they found nothing. The lady advised me to call Shop NBC again to ask for replacement. She said things like this happen. Shop NBC normally files a claim with YRC, and they should be able to replace our Item. So, I called Shop NBC customer service at 877-283-9286 and explained to them what happened. The representative put me on hold so she can talk to a specialist. I was expecting that she will be able to help me with my situation. Back on line, she told me that they have to wait for 15 days for the claim to be filed. I asked her for consideration and asked her, how come we have to suffer in this situation when it wasn't our fault, and if we can get this resolved sooner. She had to put me on hold again so she can talk to the specialist one more time. While I was waiting, I'm thinking to myself, finally, I think they'll be able to help me. When she got back to me on the line, these are her exact words, "The specialist said it will take 15 to 30 days for the claim to process." I said, "What?" How come it ended up being worse than the first decision? Rather than helping me to solve the problem sooner, it made it worse. I could not believe it. Then she asked me while the claim is being processed if I just want her to place another order. While talking, she checked their system and said, “Oh, it's out of stock,” and she cannot place an order for it. Frustrated and much stressed again, I had to say thank you and bye.
A few minutes later, I went online because I did not believe what she said that it's out of stock. I went online and went to the ordering process. Just what I was expecting, “Item Available”. Such a liar! On top of that, I got home at around 8:20 pm. Guess what's on Shop NBC, advertising the 60-inch Mitsubishi 1080P DLP HDTV. So how can she say that it's out of stock! Please help me. Shop NBC is not doing anything about this matter. They were even offering me $20 rebate for my next purchase. I told them I am not asking for anything! All I want is the television and the TV stand that I ordered. The problem is supposed to be between Shop NBC and YRC Shipping. I should get my items. Why do I have to suffer as a consumer?

Shop NBC was selling the Sensa Weight Loss product. In August, 2009, I purchased a "two months sample kit". I wanted to try this product. I did not sign up for automatic delivery. Through their mistake, they kept sending me the product, and I kept calling and telling them I didn't want it. Each customer service rep told me they would stop the automated delivery, but the product kept coming, and I kept returning it. Finally, I received an email that I ordered the product on December 26th (I didn't), and it was going to be shipped. I immediately called Shop NBC, and explained everything.
The first rep was a male, and he told me they had many "glitches" in their ordering system, and the mistake was theirs, but he would stop the shipment. When I got another email, I called again, in between, I sent emails. The emails from Shop NBC were rude, and no help to me. The next rep was rude on the phone, and I then asked to speak to a manager or supervisor, so I could get a prepaid mailing label, to send the shipment back. They said no, I would have to pay for the shipment back myself.
I made several requests, both by email and phone, to have a supervisor call me. All of my requests were ignored. This company needs to be investigated. They are out of hand. Here I am, stuck with the product I have been trying to stop the shipment of for months. In addition, the product I returned was not credited to my Shop NBC account. How can they be so deceitful and rude? They ignore customer's requests, and just do what they want. Each shipment is approximately $73.00. It is not cheap. They owe me approximately $373.00 in uncredited returns, and how can I get my refund? By the way, the product is worthless, and a hoax. Please do not shop with this company. They are not trustworthy. The consequences are loss of money, unable to get any customer respect or satisfaction, and I was also unable to stop these product shipments.

On 12/06/09, I purchased the Invicta Men's Subaqua Noma III Ocean Quest Watch w/ Interchangeable Strap & Bracelet Set. The host said it was easy to change the straps and to carefully put in the pins. I put all straps on except the leather strap and when I started to put the leather strap on, it was difficult to put on and started screwing it in and it stripped. I turned it counterclockwise till I felt the click then turned it to clockwise and it somehow stripped. Okay, so I called customer service on 12/13/09 and explained what happened to the cs agent. She said, "Okay, fine; you can send it back and return it. I then asked her if I purchase another one if they would credit me back on the returned item and she said yes, I could do that. I said, "Are you sure, because I can't afford to have 2 same watches?" She replied yes and so I purchased the second watch.
I sent it back on 12/14/09 USPS $18.90 shipping. ShopNBC received my return on 12/18/09, and I received the new watch 12/17/09. Then I called ShopNBC to find out what's going on with my return on or around 12/19th and on the 22nd. They did some research and said they would e-mail the warehouse in Bowling Green and it should show up shortly. So on 12/31/09 a FedEx guy shows up at my door and I'm wondering why a package was here and it was from ShopNBC. I opened it and it was the watch I sent back and I was shocked.
I called cs and asked why it was returned to me and they said some scratches etc., and they could not override the warehouse decision etc. If the watch is defective and other people are having same problem and on my new watch, I can't even use the leather strap because it won't screw in properly and will strip the threads, then the product is not as stated. Go to ShopNBC and go through the reviews of this watch. So I am a little unhappy at this because now I paid approximately $790 + $18.90 shipping and I cannot afford to throw $18.90 to ship back only to get it returned to me. When you get a new watch that you're excited about, you want to wear it and it has a tiny scratch from wearing it. I believe I got ** and now I have 2 watches of the same color, make and I am out $420.00. If you buy a product from ShopNBC, be cautious of their return department.

I purchased a men's Jacques Lemans watch from Shop NBC. My husband tried on the watch upon receipt and did not like it. I returned the watch to Shop NBC exactly as I received it - in mint condition with whatever tags were on it. I spent $12 returning this watch. Weeks later, I received the watch back from SWI saying it was scratched and the security tag was missing so the watch could not be returned for refund. I called SWI and Shop NBC to tell them the watch was never worn; there are no scratches on the watch at all, and whatever tag the watch came with, was returned with the watch.
Numerous calls were made to SWI (vendor) and Shop NBC. No one wants to take any responsibility for giving me my money back. SWI (Swiss Watch International), the vendor said they have a picture of the watch with scratches all over it. I have the watch in person - there is not one scratch on the watch. This smells like a total scam. They do not want to refund my money and made up this story to keep from accepting this watch back. I have made numerous calls, to be disconnected or hung up on. Shop NBC - who is representing them and selling these watches says they have nothing to do with this. I think both companies are total scams.

I purchased a 50" RCA LCD model #M50WH185 from ShopNBC with a 2-year extended warranty, which starts after the one year manufacturer warranty expires. The TV is still under warranty, but ShopNBC extended warranty does not cover bulbs. I was watching TV when I heard a large popping noise and my TV went black. The sound is there, but no picture. The TV was purchased 2 years ago. The bulb costs $216.00, not including the $110.00 service charge. Question: What good is an extended warranty when it does not cover certain parts?

I purchased a camcorder from ShopNBC on television. It was a Vado which is made in Eden Prairie, MN. I have been tacking and it was refused twice. NBC told me to contact the maker because it needed repair, and when I called them, they hung up on me. I had the products for a few months and it was costly with the one-year protection plan. The camcorder would not hold the charge and I sent it back to Eden Prairie, MN. Internet Explorer won't let me submit my claim.

I called and ordered a TV. Two hours later, I changed my mind so I called back and cancelled the order. I was told that I cannot cancel as the order already went through. But when the warehouse calls for delivery, I can cancel. The warehouse did call and I told her that I had cancelled. She said, "That's okay." Now N.B.C. said that it was shipped, and I had refused delivery. No one came to this door. I am being billed $119.00 for delivery. There is no invoice and no tracking number. I ordered last March 23, 2009 and I cancelled on the same day. I thought that one had three days to change his/her mind. They never delivered.

Do not use ShopNBC under any circumstances. I purchased a small camera from them, which worked for less than 2 minutes. When the bill for $105 came in, I paid $70 on it hoping to rectify the situation as we went along. Meanwhile, I went ahead and purchased a $1,400 TV from them. The TV was lost in transit. I called them to let them know. I also told them to cancel the order. I then purchased another TV locally. I continued to get bills for varying amounts and no one there could tell me what bill was for what. Every time I called, it was a different person and nothing was getting done on the account. I couldn't tell what amount was for what and neither could they. They kept telling me not to pay on the account as they would take care of it. Meanwhile, the account was turned over to the credit bureau and my credit is ruined for $35 - for the camera that did not work. They refused to work with me to correct the situation. Shoppers beware.

On Thursday, 4/9/09 at approximately 6:00 PM, as I was watching ShopNBC I saw an ad for an HP computer. I was interested in this item as it allowed 6 EasyPays to be taken from my credit card each month. I watched the show for about 30 minutes and decided to order the computer. I called and placed my order. Shortly after placing my order, I decided to purchase a second HP computer for my son's birthday, so I called a second time, held for a while, and then placed my order. Both orders were placed with a live customer service representative. I received a confirmation email as well.
Today, I noticed the money for both computers ($200) had been placed on hold from my checking account. This afternoon, I received an email from ShopNBC that they would not be processing my order because they ran a credit check and decided not to send the merchandise based on the credit check. I called the number in the email and spoke with someone in the credit department. I explained that during the approximate hour I watched their programming, there was never a mention of a credit check and that when I called twice to place both orders, there was also no mention of a credit check.
I know my credit. I would not have placed the orders if I knew it was subject to credit approval. My complaint is that I was not told there would be a credit check; therefore, I did not authorize one. I'm offended that they would just check credit without my authority. I never provided my social security number or my date of birth. I expressed my anger that this was done with the CSR who said she would advise a manager. I'm sure it will go no further than her. In checking online, I see this is common practice with ShopNBC. Although not a huge deal, I'm upset that they can just check credit without any type of authorization from a customer.
