"Winterwear by Centigrade " it would only be Centigrade's stock . Simple?

As you watch for example a "Diamonds" show each product has a thorough review with plenty of time on the screen (too much in some cases as you are waiting for it to move on). On screen you will see the order cod, any relevant colours and sizes, the price and contact telephone number.

Now unlike some shopping channels the telephone number is a free 0800 or you can order via the web. I have done both.

There is also a press red Button on your TV remote option which brings up a choice of Today's Special value, Hot picks, 24 hour review, a QVC TV guide and Help. For Sky viewers this takes you to other options I think. You can also look back at products enabling you to still order.

If the "today's special value" sells out quickly QVC usually put on a "one to watch" offer. This product will be really good value and the price will only last a limited time.

You often find that the price is reduced to a certain amount just for the show but you have no way of knowing how honest this statement is. The price often is broken down into 2 or 3 or 4 easy, monthly, payments. If you use this option you are told when ordering when the payments will come out of your bank account and how much they will be for. Also you do not pay any charges for doing spreading the payments. I have done this and never experienced any problems. However if you are not careful you will soon overspend .

* ORDERING FOR THE FIRST TIME *

So you're watching the show and something takes your fancy. What to do next ?

For your first purchase you need to ring the ordinary free phone number 0800 50 40 30 . The person at the end of the line will take some details - order, name, address etc and allocate you a QVC personal number.(I have ordered without this but you will need your pin number). They will ask you to give them a pin number, preferably something which you can remember but that other people cannot guess. They will ask for your payment details and you must have some sort of debit, switch or credit card and be aged 18 or over to shop here.

They do not try to sell you anything else, by telling you about other offers etc. when you ring, unlike other shopping channels.

They will confirm the amount payable, including any postage, and when they think the delivery will be made. Items are usually delivered within 5 - 7 working days.

The amount of postage and packaging is usually between 2.95 and 7.95. Occasionally they have free or reduced postage
