How do I use my Shopping Cart?

You can use one Shopping Cart to order multiple items at a time. When you see something you like, simply add that item to your Shopping Cart and keep shopping. Each subsequent item is added to the bottom of the Shopping Cart list. If your Shopping Cart remains idle for the next 60 minutes, the items in the Shopping Cart will be cleared and added to a Shopping List, where they will remain for 90 days. You can view items on your Shopping List by clicking on the Cart icon in the top right-hand corner of any page on QVC.com. Inventory will not be secured until you add the item to your cart. When you go through Checkout, you'll see the total purchase price for all the items in your Shopping Cart. Each individual purchase is also listed. When you click on "Submit Order," you will have ordered all the items in the Shopping Cart with just one click.

Note: During the Checkout process, you may revise or cancel your order. No order will be placed until you click the "Submit Order" button.

What is Speed Buy®?

Speed Buy is the fastest way to order on QVC.com. Once you have started Speed Buy on your computer, you can simply click the "Speed Buy" action button on any item — or on your completed Shopping Cart. Then all you need to do is enter your email address or QVC Customer Number and PIN, and you're DONE!

NOTE: With Speed Buy, your order will be billed to the last credit card you used and will be shipped to the address you previously provided as your Bill–To Address and/or permanent Ship–To Address. (If you have used Speed Buy before and have used our Address Book feature, you will be able to send your order to another address already in your Address Book by selecting the "Review My Order" button. Once you do this, however, you will no longer be in the Speed Buy feature.)

What is the difference between Speed Buy® and standard Checkout?

Speed Buy uses the current data on your account — name, bill-to address, and QCard® account or last payment method. Your item will be shipped to your bill-to address and/or permanent ship-to address on file via Standard Shipping, and QVC will charge the last credit card you used to make a purchase.

Note: If you've used Speed Buy before and have used our Address Book feature, you'll be able to send your order to another address already in your Address Book by selecting the "Review My Order" button. Once you do this, however, you will no longer be in the Speed Buy feature.

Standard Check-Out allows you to alter the ship-to/bill-to name and address, payment method, and shipping preference.

Why am I charged sales tax on Internet orders?

QVC is registered with your state to collect sales or use tax, as appropriate, on taxable items shipped to your state. Most states require that we tax shipping and handling as well. The passage of the Internet Tax Freedom Act and similar state statutes has no effect on QVC's current obligation to collect such taxes. Please note that sales and use tax collected is remitted by QVC to your state taxation authority as required by law. These monies are not retained by QVC.

What is Waitlist and how does it work?

The Waitlist option is offered when QVC has a reasonable expectation that the item will return to stock within 45 days. Although placing an order on our Waitlist is not a guarantee that stock will be received, it is a good way of reserving an item if it does come into stock. If we are unable to fulfill your order, you will be notified within 45 days.
