Probably relief on her part that she did not have to flog even more slinky

I don't think it is the sacking of staff from warehousing that causes problems - but a lack of warehousing space in the first place. Unlike QVC who, backed by their USA operations, were willing to wait for a profit for several years whilst they built up decent warehousing space, staff and CS...

Golly, when was this? I have been shopping with IW for about 6-7 years now,certainly starting during the time the original owners were in charge, and the complaints about deliveries and CS have never altered. Admittedly, the CS was a touch better back in the "good old days", but do you...

I'm not sure that this is quite fair. I no longer am a club member - but only because I do not buy enough craft now to warrant the discount - but certainly, all the time I was a member, I got the discount automatically.There was no trouble involved at all. However, I must say I do not know of...

But then, as most of what all presenters on all channels say is a load of lies anyway, fabrication is probably the right term to use. :54:

You are lucky! I can't buy better in my local craft shops at all. Generally speaking, I have always found C&C stuff to be much cheaper. However, I do not buy enough to warrant being a C&C club member.

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten that. I don't use Flexipay

I don't understand why you used the phone at all! My husband bought this on line from IW. Done and dusted in a minute or so - and free! If you do have to use the phone, use In-first. It is really quick. I cannot even remember the last time I used the call centre. Strangely, this is the first...

To tell the truth, I don't like costume jewellery so I have never bought any of the Rivers stuff, but I think that if I had, I would have been livid that she thought so little of her customers that she could make a joke about them. It is all par for the course, though - all these celebrities...

Did anyone see ITV - One Time Only (or something like that) tonight? I was scooting through and saw Joan Rivers and paused to listen. I have not the faintest remembrance of what she actually said, but she pulled off her earrings and said "Here, take them, they are only cheap"....(voice drops...

You looked that hard? :eek:

But if it is selling - this is obviously what the customer does want. No accounting for taste.

Mind you, you are talking about a woman who says she is buying everything she sells. She probably has 2 homes - one (probably unheated) just to store all her slinkys and other tat and another to live in. But yes, she has become totally irritating - too obviously greedy and now, thoughtless as...

Someone's having a laugh. There are no fit men on shopping telly - on any channel. The only way they are hot is that they are under studio lights! :D

I used to love watching (and buying) those crafts that were slightly different - like iris folding or those cards that you did with a stencil and then embroidered (forgotten the name) - indeed, a lot of crafts brought over by Dutch ladies with delightful accents. There were also things like...
