QVC Free Shipping?

GingerPeach — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 21:08:51 GMT

I know we've covered this before, but what's your best guess on QVC's next free shipping day? I keep forgetting to keep track. I know it happens (or has happened) every few months.

Here's hoping it keeps happening.

We are ready for free shipping. It doesn’t happen often enough. Many times it is the deciding factor for me.

@Catiele True for me as well. I scroll through the "as is" daily at lunch and wait for a free shipping day. I've purchased some really great bargains that way.

@GingerPeach - We're just over one month since the last one, February 17. Here's to hoping for another free shipping event soon...

I'm marking that date on my calendar and will keep track. Thanks, @loriqvc

Fingers crossed it won't be too much longer.

@Catiele Take a few minutes to study the Q's quarterly financial report and you'll understand that they can't afford to do this but rarely. HSN has done a lot of free shipping and they're operating in the red.

they could afford to whatever they want, they don't want to, ez-pay is the driver for sales

s/h can be a profit center.

@jackthebear - You actually just restated @Kachina624's point: The QVC profit model is based in large part on the shipping fees that are charged, so the company would take a major hit if free shipping were offered more frequently.

If your able to get off the couch take a ride to the mall and get some fresh air. Once again there is no such thing as free shipping unless your an Amazon prime member

Re: QVC Free Shipping?

@MrSour - Technically, Amazon Prime shipping isn't free since you have to pay an annual membership fee...

Still cheaper than qv c shipping in the long run

Re: QVC Free Shipping?

I no longer purchse anything on the Q unless there is free shipping. While tempted to buy some kitchen gagets I realized the s&h was 1/3 the price of the items. Crazy. I shopped quite a bit during Christmas in July and the holidays and I'm sure my s&h was close to my Prime with Amazon. Also, the prices have gone up so much, I can't belive the prices for Joan Rivers and many others. I even found my Laurie Felt jeans on amazon cheaper then the Q. With free shipping and 2 daydelivery what's not to like.

I agree..the Shipping Price is my deciding Factor to buy or not! Definitely need to offer more Free Shipping...don’t even see too much of the low shipping cost of $3.50! Come on QVC! Offer us something better.

I've started ordering cosmetics that I see on QVC from Nordstrom. Free shipping and returns. QVC hypes various foundations & color cosmetics, but you can never know if the colors work until you get them home. When you pay for shipping/returns, the QVC prices are no bargain.

in anticipation of the next free shipping day I have been checking prices daily on my wish list and 3 items, so far, have had a price increase. Maybe free shipping won't be a great deal after all!

Re: QVC Free Shipping?

Yes, have noticed the game playing with purchase prices. Look for rare free shipping as long as easy pay is giving the company a profit. There are certain items I won’t buy if I have to add on shipping. I was surprised to see this week that some Philosophy items are now available at local CVS, with the coupons I get, price is very affordable and no shipping!

On one of the posts a Mod hinted to look for a Free Ship date coming mid April. Most of us have are lists ready and are waiting.

If they increase prices of items and give you free shipping, it's not really a savings, is it?

How much will QVC raise the price of the item to make you think your getting free shipping?
