Shaggy the Atarian Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Now this gives me another reason to watch QVC, beyond live product failures (like the guy breaking the katana and stabbing himself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am jealous of you QVC and not HSN IIRC 896059[/snapback] Actually the QVC in Lancaster is a distribution center - where some of their products get shipped out from. Their headquarters and the studio are about 15 minutes from where I work, in West Chester. Actually the moved from their original headquarters in West Chester to the old Commodore building in which they did MAJOR remodeling. If you haven't been to the Lancaster warehouse in awhile, you'll flip... They added 500,000 sqare feet. It's giant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Wow... I can't remember the last time I seen QVC... I remember back in 92ish when they were airing the Atari Lynx though!

It's giant! 896096[/snapback] They added 500,000 square feet WOW If i ever decide to move back which im realistically thinking about doing, id try and get a job at QVC distribution instead of getting back in the greenfield corporate center as a data entry clerk, This time I wont be renting and I would already own my home out right. I really miss PA and the family that I have up there, "party cousins" If I do I will be staying in king of prussia before I buy a home which means we could get drunk together at times hip hip hooray lol 500,000 sq ft, this is worth calling my mother to tell her even if that means she will keep me on the phone with her for 1/2 hr or so Edited July 22, 2005 by ATARIeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+johnnywc Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I'll be watching this! I wonder - if I order this from QVC on the 24th, will I get it before mid-August (the estimated availability in other stores)? I mean - are these things already at QVC ready to ship? I've never ordered from them - do they usually ship stuff right away? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why you only won 500 is because your avatar says "jesus loves you" i bet if it didnt say that you would of won more Everything else about your avatar is cool Was it a scratch off or drawing ?
