Is there a reason you would choose QVC over the other stores? I just never consider them for large, expensive purchases. Especially if you have problems, it would be better to purchase locally.

No. I would never buy something like that from Q. What a major headache if there is a problem. Where I live the only choice we have is to buy from Sears or Lowes but at least it's local if we have a problem. Can you not find what you want or need where you live? Good Luck finding your new refrigerator.

I did not even know that QVC sold refrigerators. The last time that I ordered appliances. I ordered online from Sears. This was of course about 12 years ago. What I like the most about it was that you were able to narrow it by cost (your budget) and then receive a ton of options. I placed the order and even set up the delivery date on-line. It was pretty effortless. I purchased my Refrigerator, Wash Machine, and Dryer in the manner.

Did you know you can order online from Lowe's and Home Depot? At least HP, don't know about Lowe's, belongs to Mr. Rebates so you can get a nice refund.

Given what it costs to ship an item of clothing, I can't IMAGINE what QVC's shipping & handling would be on something heavy like a refrigerator. Yikes!

Shipping and handling is only $150.00 on a refrigerator. I wouldn't order one.

It's hard to imagine that QVC would be competitive, price-wise, for something like this. If I knew the exact model I wanted and found that QVC had the best price - I don't know. I think I probably still wouldn't.

Maybe if I weren't in a hurry or anything because I imagine their freighting is probably slower than most, since this is not one of their really targeted areas like it would be with a company like Sears or Home Depot, etc.

Thanks everyone, good advise. I think I'll check out sears or something. I shop at Costco a lot so want something big, but needs to fit small space. Lol, I need a tardis refrigerator.

Here in Southern California, Home Depot has the lowest price whem compare to SEARS, LOWES, and other name brand stores. You may also want to look a store sells such products where it has a little dings, etc., but still brand new. In San Diego, such store is AZTEC located at the heart of downtown.

No way would I order something like this from the Q.

I've had bad luck ordering large appliances from the Q. Even if you don't have to pay to ship a faulty item back, it's a pain to get a pick up.

I didn't know QVC sold refrigerators. I doubt I would buy one from them as it wouldn't be feasible unless they were the last retailer to sell a refrigerator.

Never would I even consider doing that. What happens if something goes wrong? Can you imagine what it would cost to send a refridgerator back? Get one locally, really.

Good one Persephonel! I think a lot of us would like to have a TARDIS house

No. We try to patronize our local stores. By that I mean the local mom and pop stores and the family run businesses.

For what it's worth, I know that Lowes will match other prices from stores. When we bought our new fridge last year, I found my Samsung stainless 4-door French door fridge at HH Gregg for about half of what Lowes was charging for the same thing. The HH Gregg store was about 60 miles away, so I printed the ad from their website with the price listed for the fridge.

We took the ad to our Lowes store and they matched the price. The sales person needed to go to his department manager, but they matched the price. We put it on our Lowes charge, simply to get an extra 5% off (we paid the whole bill off when it came). Plus, they delivered the fridge to our house, brought it into the house and the guy helped DH set it up. For free.

You can't beat that. I'm sure Home Depot does the same thing as far as price matching. The reason we didn't go to HD is because that store is further away from us whereas Lowes is quite close. But you can check with Home Depot if that store is closer to you.

It pays to shop around. And it never hurts to ask if they'll match a price.

No, I haven't, nor would I be tempted to. I buy locally through my Lowe's store; not only to support local business, but I can only imagine the hassle if that QVC refrigerator does not work when you plug it in, and you try to get it repaired or replaced. I have been a loyal Lowe's customer for nearly 40 years; I know what to expect from them with major purchases. I wouldn't begin to take a chance with QVC and something as major as a refrigerator.

They did a study a few years back and found that these are the best places to purchase from. At least where I live. So yes, I agree about shopping at an independent store.
