Patience is a virtue

Patience: noun
'An ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay.'
I always tell people I have no patience and that's no joke. I have patience when I need to but I do get a little bent out of shape at times.
Example: January 2, 2016 I ordered the Marie Osmond Body Gym Deluxe Portable Resistance Band Home Gym (that's a mouthful isn't it!) from QVC I wrote about it and my buddy @gr8nanna6 ordered one a day after me.
She got hers a few weeks ago, I didn't. My ordered showed as back ordered on the QVC website. I said I was going to give them 10 days if I didn't get it I would cancel.
As life happens, I didn't get back to cancel the order and when I did think about it I decided to hang in. Now I'm glad I didn't cancel. I received an e-mail early today stating my order has shipped! I had pretty much put it out of my mind and now I'd better start getting prepared to use it!
Thanks QVC for coming through!

I have had some good experiences with QVC and HSN. And, I have had some bad. Not very often on the bad. Patience is a virtue that is for sure. I wish I had more of it.

This was the first time I ordered something, then told I would not get it, then saw it was back ordered and now getting it..I've been with them since they were CVN.

Some days I have ample patience. Other days Zilch. People who are idiots, no patience at all.

I forgot about your order and it seems you put the problem out too. This is not patience Abby, you are cheating.@AbbyGreenhill (45490)

Well, just a little cheating, but the patience part came in when I didn't cancel the order...I was ready to dump them when I didn't get it.

It's easy to have patience when you put the 'problem' out of your mind and forget about it LOL!

I get the same feeling when i order things online. I lose patience a bit when the required schedule is not met.It is really a virtue.

This is the first time it has happened so it was a surprise. QVC is normally very reliable.
