Workers may apply for positions at the Bethlehem site.

The company said affected employees will get severance payments, a continuation of some benefits, and help to find another job. “The one lady insisted that she was going to retire there and she broke down in tears and said now she can’t,” Michael Courtney said. QVC refused to answer questions and declined a request for an interview, so we don’t know how many employees work at the Lancaster site. The company expects to fill 1,200 to 1,500 positions at the new Bethlehem facility. The first phase includes opening a new fulfillment center in Bethlehem next year and the anticipated closure of the center in West Hempfield Township, as well as facilities in Roanoke, Virginia, and Greeneville, Tennessee, in 2020, a company news release states.Ībout 1,725 positions will be eliminated when the three centers are closed. Qurate Retail Group said it is integrating its QVC and HSN fulfillment networks to enhance delivery speed and lower costs to serve customers. QVC will close its distribution center in Lancaster County and two others as it streamlines operations following the acquisition of rival home shopping channel HSN, its parent company announced Wednesday.
