Slow Banking

I've just been trying to chase some unidentified payments through my bank and have found that they relate to QVC orders. In one instance, they didn't request the payment until a week after the order was dispatched (and I'd have the goods three days!). In that time, the money was put into pending, then put back in my current account after two days, then taken again when they decided to get around to it. In the meantime, I have to sit and puzzle over why my balance is going up and down, seemingly at random. Does anyone else find this happens to them? It's not only irritating in terms of keeping a check on the bank, but pretty poor that QVC, yet again, don't have a fixed procedure that they operate to. Their accounting must be a shambles. They take so long to do everything, that I presume the bank believes they don't want the payment. I keep a very careful check on my bank account and I only ever have these issues with QVC.

Yes I seem to be having the same thing ,wondering what was going on .
