I find it difficult to accept that the shipping and handling charges need to be so high.
First of all, WHAT is "handling"?
Secondly, what could justify a $9.72 charge? ... If QVC sent it via Small Flat Rate Box in Priority Mail, it would only be $5.35!
Thirdly .... it's a BRACELET that can't weigh more than 5 ounces!
What's up with the excessive shipping charges?

Yeah--just throw it in an envelope, for heaven's sake! Who cares if it gets damaged?

I sent a small...light weight package to my grandson....it only went a few miles...and it cost me $15.00......UPS.....

Handling would be that someone in a warehouse has to pull that item, put it in a box with the receipt, maybe put a label on it, and send it on its way....... unless it can just automatically put itself in the mail..... That still doesn't seem to justify the charge - what bracelet was it?

They self-insure.
I know this has been said here a bazillion times, but it continues to be true.

Since there are so many complaints here about the cost of shipping and handling, it will probably have to be said a bazillion more times! For some reason, I think people have a tendency to just consider the actual shipping, disregarding handling and insurance. Even though QVC self-insures, they certainly have it factored into the cost of S&H...and if it's a more expensive bracelet, I'm sure they've factored in a higher cost.

I purchased a big, beautiful statement necklace with lots of gems and stones and cut floral pieces, fully loaded, and had it shipped from the Orient to the States, and it cost less than $ 9.00 and it was an expensive, heavy necklace !! What's up QVC ?????????

what I do not understand....how is it HSN and ShopHQ can offer so much free shipping on everything and the Q rarely ever does...and when they do the HOst make a big production out of it....

I've noticed when an item is put on "clearance," they hike the S&H. C'est la vie.
