Ships w/c...

[JeepSwensonfan]

Why is it now ships or shipped instead of dispatched?

Who is delivering it, the Titanic?

 

[donna255]

Near Far where ever you are. You will just have to wait for your QVC parcel.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

It’s one of many Americanisms which grates on me when used by non US companies.
I think they must think it sounds more edgy

 

[Twilight]

I thought the Q had always used this term.

That might explain why some customers never receive what they’ve ordered.

 

[shopperholic]

QVC should be thrown a lifeboat, they’re sinking fast.

Or even just a plain old 'sent'.

A. Keenen often says that an item has 'sold through.' Another Americanism ? Debbie Flint often uses the word 'tushie' which derives from an American/Yiddish word 'tuchus' i.e. buttocks.

 

[Clothescloth]

Yes, I’ve noticed the word tushie creeping in more now. I HATE that word with a passion! I remember when Lennie first came to QVC and he kept using the the word fanny and fanny pack ( bum and bum bag) The presenters had a fit of the vapours! It had to be explained gently to him that it means something quite different here.

I particularly dislike 'reaching out' and 'touching base'.

I haven't had anyone reach out and touch my base since the pandemic started.

I don’t like sold through. It’s nonsense. There was/is a dark haired presenter on IW who said ‘sold out and gone’. Can’t remember her name but she was quite fun and a mainstay. Sold out or gone is all we need.

 

[shopperholic]

Let’s not forget “from the get go” I have no idea what this means and hearing it makes my teeth itch, I suggest whoever says it “gets up and goes”

Probably Loen Love she didn't care what she said.

 

[Bea Frugal]

Yes, thank you. There was no side to her. Did she leave?

 

[Muttley28]

I agree that it sounds more American. But it’s probably because it fits the graphics on screen better.

Hayley always says that too, she’s got blonde hair though. Loen went to Create And Craft (don’t know if she’s still there) but Hayley is still on IW, Hayley does seem nice, possibly one of the only shopping telly people I can listen too.

I really dislike being referred to as guys, I am neither man nor boy, I am woman Stanley woman

I’m going to punch the next waiter/waitress who says that to me! I’m tempted to pull down my knickers and ask them for confirmation

 

[Maid in Devon]

Oh it makes me so happy knowing I'm not alone
