QVC Awarded From The European Logistics Association for Innovative Logistics Solution

DÜSSELDORF, Germany, June 22/PRNewswire/ --

- Teleshopping Market Leader Receives Second Prize in the European Award
for Logistics Excellence 2005

QVC has been awarded the second prize of the "European Award for
Logistics Excellence 2005". The European Logistics Association (ELA) thus
gave recognition to the innovative comprehensive logistics solution developed
by the market leader in teleshopping. The prize was awarded on the occasion
of the European Logistic Conference EUROLOG 2006 in Strasbourg.

QVC impressed the jury with its highly flexible logistics solution, which
was tailor-made for the specific requirements of teleshopping. "We are very
pleased at this recognition at a European level", declared Dr. Ulrich
Flatten, CEO at QVC Deutschland GmbH, "and this award is also a vindication
of our all-encompassing corporate philosophy." After all, logistics has
always been a core competence of QVC and is organised and executed by the
company itself as part of its overall corporate strategy. Only in this way
can QVC offer its customers a perfect service.

In 2005, QVC managed to increase its net sales revenue by 22 percent to
EUR 629 million. With a market share of 58 percent, QVC is by far the leading
teleshopping provider in Germany. By the end of 2005, the company had
invested EUR 285 million in its four German locations at Düsseldorf, Bochum,
Hückelhoven and Kassel. Of this amount, around EUR 130 million went to the
company's logistics alone. A further EUR 45 million was invested in
developing its state-of-the-art distribution center in 2006.

Customer consultants took a total of 24 million calls in the two QVC call
centers over the past year. 13 million packages left the distribution center
of the teleshopping broadcaster over the same period. Total QVC staff at the
four locations in Düsseldorf, Bochum, Kassel and Hückelhoven now stands at
around 3,400. The teleshopping leader created 350 new jobs in 2005 alone, and
is thus one of the top job creators in Germany.

QVC Deutschland, which started broadcasting in December 1996, achieved
net sales revenue of EUR 629 million in financial year 2005. This confirms
QVC's position as one of the leading mail-order companies and one of the most
rapidly growing media corporations in Germany. Parent company QVC Inc. (USA)
commenced broadcasting in 1986 and is today one of the world's leading
electronic retail companies.
