Shipping up 50 cents today?!

Hi forum! Is it is just me or did shipping go up today on every item by 50 cents? I noticed that shipping on many items before today's all day holiday sale was $5.00. Now it's $5.50; from $3.00 to $3.50 and so forth. I saw what do did there, QVC.

It looks like the shipping went up by 50 cents on the holiday items not other things (I looked at a Denim and Co. item and a Nick Chavez product for comparison). Still, I don't think this tactic.

I have not noticed or looked. I'm sure it will keep going up. You will still get stuck paying shipping both ways if you return something & that is like throwing money in the trash IMO.

Some shipping prices started increasing by .50 about 2 weeks ago, there were several threads about it, including one from me.

 

They just started slipping it in........sneaky.

They probably think they've been very sly and foxy slipping this shipping increase by us.  Nobody will notice, right?  Ha!  We notice.

GREAT Observation but YOU aren't suppose to tell anyone???

 

It's a secret, just like many other services etc raise their prices during the Holiday season ie. your hair salon, nail salon

 

People are so busy during this time that a lot don't notice what hit their wallet....maybe the Q is making a jumpstart on just the Holiday items.

Am I missing something but didn't the Q change their shipping prices to $3 across the board?  I guess I thought it was a permanent thing....

Yes, you are missing something.  The change wasn't $3 across the board.  It was on a good portion of clothing, beauty and other lighter items.  Things like home decor went to $5 and there's another grouping that didn't change.
