I had a box that was open on one end. The end of the box inside looked interesting so I slid it out. It was a box full of various vibrating devices. I taped the box shut and you couldn't tell it had been open. Later I delivered it to a younger lady. As I handed it to her, I said "enjoy" and walked away. I didn't look back..... but I'm guessing her face was probably "beet red". Sometimes this job can be fun!

I had a QVC Queen whose enclosed front porch was filled floor to ceiling with QVC and HSN boxes. There was just a path from door to door.

We have one in our center that has a two car garage filled floor to ceiling with unopened QVC. I remember as a swing driver going there and it was always 10 to 15 boxes a day.

Default Re: How do they do it?

Have you ever actually watched QVC? I would go insane, they talk about the same item ad nauseum............
I have several people who order incessantly. Now some of the older ones, I understand they may not be able to get out, etc. But I got one lady who gets stacks everyday, mid forties, and never leaves the house, and has a new car........and always in PJS. No husband, I have no clue, how she does it. If you figure each pkg is at least 20$, and they get 5 a day.......................No envy here, but if I didnt have to work......Id be doing something else.

I never make smart comments to the people that seem to get the same stuff everyday. They make my house payment. I have 2 QVC ladies and 3 VS regulars.

I have a very smart mouth and have to be really careful that it does not get me into trouble with any of the regulars.

Oh Man, can I identify with that. Whenever someone asks me if I am staying out of trouble, I reply that it takes too much duct tape to do that. lol

What gets me are the QVC ladies who live in a trailer that is about to fall in on itself, a roof that floods half the house when it rains and 20 cats running around that eat and pee inside, but everyday UPS is there with their precious QVC order. Unbelievable, serious shopaholic problem.

I agree; if those people would just put one years worth of QVC into their house, (money wise) many would double the value of their property. Those same people also double the value of their vehicles whenever they fill the gas tank!
