I may not be ever ordering from As seen on TV again. I called and ordered something for my son 2.5 weeks ago for his birthday on Tuesday the 25th. I thought sure it would come in on time since it's coming from the same country we live in.
Well they emailed me at 5 this morning saying it was back ordered and its not going to be here on the 25th like they said it would.
Good thing we got him some smaller things too but man it's frustrating! Next time I will place an order 2 months in advance but I didn't have the money at that time...
Have you ordered from TV before? Did shipping take forever?

It is real frustrating when an order doesn't arrive in time, especially when it's a gift. I sometimes order from Amazon.com, but most of my online orders are from Walmart.com. They have free shipping to store and I can make returns to the store.

@1creekgirl Yes it is. =( I really thought it was going to be here on time. Now I'm feeling really bad since it's the one thing he really wanted... Next time I will order from somewhere else.

@LovingMyBabies At times when a gift didn't arrive on time or it was too big to wrap, I made a "picture present." I wrapped a photo of the gift and put in in a box under the tree.

@LovingMyBabies You would certainly think that two weeks was enough. But evidently not.

@dodo19 Thanks. It's just frustrating since I thought more than 2 weeks would be enough time. =(

Wow, did they say why it was going to take that long? That's ridiculous. I've never ordered from TV before; my parents ordered our satellite dish when I was a kid, but I can't remember how long it took to receive it. I think I'll stick with ordering online though.

@LovingMyBabies Awe man, I'm sorry. :-/ Did you find it cheaper on eBay? I saw someone else suggest it. You could also try Amazon as well.

I've never ordered anything from TV. My sister has, but I don' remember having heard a comment from her about it

@LovingMyBabies It seems like. Doing things different from the ordinary may involve the risks.

It happens all the time. Businesses never know how popular a product is going to be, so they don't order enough, for fear they will be stuck with product they can't sell.

Aw sorry to hear it's taking that long. I'm sure he'll enjoy it though - it might be like a second birthday for him whe he does get it

I have never bought anything from them before. Most of their products do not work as well as they claim. I have tried quite a few that were given to me as gifts. They had an as seen on tv store in our local mall for a bit but I never bought anything there. They do sell some as seen on tv products at walmart.
