Banned From QVC
A friend, female, over 50, whose parents are wealthy, advised her to pick out her birthday gift. The price point they gave her was $1000. So she goes to QVC and starts ordering things. Clothes, shoes, merchandise; mostly stupid, unnecessary items.
She would order a bunch of items, return some, order more things, return a portion of that. Working her way up to her $1000 (or so she figured in her head.) This went on, purchasing a bunch of items, returning some, purchasing more items and after a month, she had racked up $11,000 in charges.
It got to the point that she and QVC couldn’t agree on exactly what she kept, what she had returned and how much was owed. QVC finally banned her from ever ordering anything from them…forever! 😀
Her parents, particularly her father, were naturally upset with her and finally had to step in and sort out the final charges with QVC. Eventually, her father and QVC settled on an amount, somewhere between $5000 and $11,000.
And QVC reiterated to her father that his daughter would never, ever be able to order from QVC again. Story Credit : Reddit / gaberax
