Evine Shopping Network

MKR14 — Sat, 13 Aug 2016 19:24:57 GMT

I saw the Paula Deen Show on Evine today. I haven't purchased an Air Fryer. When Paula's came on. It has quite a few accessories with it and the food looked delicious. I also liked the buttons and the icons with the settings. I loved the Orchid Blue but it is sold out. Did anyone purchase anything from Evine yet? What is there return policy? I watched the presentation of the Air Fryer and it was very nice. It is just my husband and I and it is a perfect size too. The price was very good also.

I've purchased a lot from Evine; Skinn Cosmetics, Beekman 1802, Waterford, Isomers, Suzanne Somers, and other assorted items. I even have a few things on auto-ship. Sometimes their shipping seems to take a little longer for some people, but my stuff has always arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The return policy is the usual 30 days. If you go to the Evine website, you can scroll down to the bottom of the landing page and there's a link to all the details of their return policy.

Hang on for a couple days. QVC has one coming up, 20.00 cheaper when you count the free shipping. I can't give the number. I used mine for the first time last nite and I love it. As far as Evine goes, I've been buying from them for a few years now. Jewelry from the Three Amigos, One World cute tops at very good prices. You will pay the max to return things, and they don't have a proper waitlist like QVC does.

Thanks @depglass and @JeanLouiseFinch for the feedback. I know there is one coming up and will check it out. The color I wanted By Paula is sold out so I have to wait anyways. Evine has my email if it comes back in stock. I didn't think I would like one but the foods look delicious and I miss fried foods. I have pancreatitis and fatty foods flares it up. Thank God for my Creon medication or I wouldn't be able to eat many of my favorite foods even in moderation.

Evine has atrocious shipping and handling charges and you better not be even one day late with a return (from the shipping date) or they won't accept it. Watch the size of those air fryers as some are huge.

I saw Paula on this weekend. I wish I could afford the Paula Deen air fryer right now. I've been eyeing it since it came out in May. I'd get the purple, or almost any color, really. I was initially thinking that I would want and use one of the bigger sizes of other brands. But I think Paula's air fryer size would be just fine for my family and I. What I like about her unit is, the dials, as opposed to the digital controls. Easy-peasy. While I am comfortable with digital stuff, I think I would be happier with this type of item being operable by dials, instead.

@Ruthie-Roo please make sure you check out this Wednesday's (the 17th) TSV as it is going to be an Emeril air fryer and is also a 3.5 qt. and is not digital. It will be $89.96 with free s&h.

@momtochloe Thanks so much for your reminder. :-) While Emeril is one of my very favorite chefs, the budget will not allow for his air fryer right now, either. For the time being, it's fun to watch the shows, window shopping.

My first order with Evine was for a French Fry Cutter. As it was supposedly shipping they also sent the bill. When it arrived it was a box of Isomers skin products...3 bottles. I shipped it back with my thoughts of what was shipped instead of a french fry cutter. Was told I had to reorder and didn't work to replace it with correct shipping. Reordered and got the french fry cutter. I paid the bill right away but when new bill showed it was about double and said 'late payment'. Long time on phone finally got that cleared up and so angry over the whole mess that I told them to close my credit card with Evine. It was my first and last dealing with Evine. There is so much about this company that needs work although sad because I like their cooking shows and product they demo.

I'm really sorry that happened to you, @4leaf. How long ago did this happen? I've been in the same boat, but with QVC. I ordered an Emeril 3.3 liter deep fryer almost two years ago, and chose Easy Pay. Guess what arrived? A floor steamer. LOL I knew immediately by the size and shape of the box at the front door, that there was NO way I was going to be able to cook anything in whatever it was I received. The invoice was correct, but not the item, obviously. Anyway, long story short, I called customer service. Re-ordered it, but paid in full up front, and told them I'd send back the floor steamer. Meanwhile, I kept getting charged Easy Pays from the original order of the deep fryer, even after returning the floor steamer! Eventually, I got it resolved. The whole experience didn't stop me from ordering from QVC, my budget did, eventually.

By the way, how are you liking your french fry cutter? :-) I've seen it on-air, and it looks great. But I already have a slightly different version, and also, I sometimes use my Genius Salad Chef chopper blades for the same purpose.

I do some shopping with Evine and have noticed that since the name change a couple years ago, the s/h prices have gone up ALOT. So if you buy 3 items, it can be close to $20 for shipping. That's what I count before I order. Also---they have a few times, charged me the $ that their return label costs even tho I sent it back myself, at a much cheaper cost. So whenever I return stuff, I email CS that I am returning and tell them I am paying the return myself so don't charge me again. Then I also put that on my return invoice as well.

I have bought a few things there but I guess I never noticed but when I pushed the value pay selection, the recording said they would run a credit report? What the hay? I understand they want to make sure you can pay for it but it's my understanding that every time a credit report is run, it will affect your credit rating. Is that true?

Re: Evine Shopping Network

AuntG — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 10:12:07 GMT

If you like the size and can get the color you want, I'd encourage you to buy it. My air fryer came from QVC and I use it a lot. If I had a convection oven, then I would not have purchased it.

I run credit every day on customers and credit cannot actually be run without your Social Security # - Why would Evine have your SS# ?-Perhaps they are checking you against some "list" of folks who have previous non payment based on your name and address?If indeed your credit is run, and declined you should receive a letter from Experian, Transunion, bank etc telling you so, and , the reason why..whether "running" your credit afffects your credit score. actually that depends on WHY the credit was run.... Are you applying for lots of credit cards? then yes, it can, because there is (in simple terms) a thought that you might be, for some reason, going to get a bunch of credit cars and charge them up to simplif.. is a landlord running it for a possible rental, then probably no- When shopping for cars, your credit granting agencies knows that you might "shop around" so a couple won't usually matter.. (though car dealers will tell you it WILL, because they do not WANT you to go somewhere else and buy there) If your credit is very strong, it doesnt affect it as much as if it is weak..

Ok ladies, not trying to start trouble here, but has anyone taken the time to read reviews on Evine and how really awful their customer service is? I used to purchase from them and had items on auto-delivery. My credit card was compromised last year around the holidays and I was issued a new one. I called and gave them my new information and an explanation of why I was changing cards. They went ahead and kept charging my old credit card and eventually had a collection agency contact me. Not Evine, but a collection agency. I promptly paid the charges that were due, but now I am not allowed to purchase anything on Value Pay. When I contacted Customer Service about this, they were rude and hung up on me. And, NO, I was not being rude. According to Yelp (not sure how reliable they are), as I don't visit their site often. I'm merely bringing this to the forefront here and relaying my experiences with Evine. I shopped with them for a long time and this is how I was treated even when I did the right thing and it was their own fault they didn't receive my payments.

Re: Evine Shopping Network

Mothertrucker — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 12:53:36 GMT

@Texussgal I must gree with you on this- I have had a couple of really bad customer service experiences with them as well.. and when I say bad, I mean really bad.. things that never got resolved..even after months..

Of course I have had negative experiences at other shopping netweors, but considering how little I buy on Evine, and how many times BAD has happened, I would say, at least in my experience, it is more common there than on other sites..

Re: Evine Shopping Network

Texussgal — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 13:05:21 GMT

Thank you MT. I know exactly what you mean. I've had issues with other networks also, but Evine is by far the worst one I have ever dealt with. Must be nice to have soooo many customers that you can be so very rude to ones who have been with you over the years and through all the name changes. Oh well, if they don't care, then I don't care. It will save me money in the long run.
