QVC prices

MalteseMomma — Sun, 29 Dec 2019 20:00:46 GMT

Anyone think they are very high lately?

Yes, that's why I stopped spending money here.

Yes. They raise prices after a "free shipping " event. They have to make up the loss one way or another. Shipping is a cash cow for QVC.

Yes on many fashion (brand names). They do have decent prices for some general items, but I don't shop full price for items such as Logo. And I simply haven't seen where Dooney handbags or Barefoot Dreams are worthy of the price. I stopped shopping with them a year ago, when I was retiring, only returned recently because I needed some lighter end of the season clothes for a trip to warmer places and everything in my area is winter wear.

I can find many of the kitchen items locally with better prices. And Amazon seems to be leading in many brands at lower prices.

The thing that adds to the price is of course the shipping. I can shop Chicos and get free shipping, recently bought somee Life is Good tshirts with free shipping over $49. And many online shoes ae free shipping and returns.

I feel that QVC prices have increased over the past year.

Most of the time when I think a price is too high, it's because I wouldn't want the item at any price. Doesn't mean the price is too high - all the thousands of shoppers who buy what I pass up must have felt the price was okay. Even though I'm at a very fortunate part of my life - I can afford more now than I could years ago - ironically, I want much less. I feel close to no peer pressure to buy just because someone else tells me I should.

And I feel no pressure not to buy just because someone tells me the price is too high , especially when they don't tell me where I can get the SAME item for less elsewhere.

Too high compared to what?

QVC was never cheap but with so many other outlets now offering merchandise so much cheaper the difference is really noticeable. QVC's execs dont seem to "get it". Theres no loyalty program, no coupons, no "Kohls Cash" type of incentives to buy from QVC. The EZ pay offers dont cut it unless you are buying merchandise like a computer. WHo needs 5 Ez pays on a set of scissors ?

@MalteseMomma. The price of the average Denim & Co. garment went up about $10 - $15 with the government imposed tariffs. People tend to forget they're still in effect. The lesser priced garments in the line are those probably not made in China.

Re: QVC prices

grooms — Sun, 29 Dec 2019 23:58:03 GMT

True Kachina624 but the Chinese tariffs also applies to Kohl's, Marshall's, Macy, H&M etc. and prices have remained essentially the same. QVC is a money hog,,,,,they use to be the bomb for shopping.....now they have bombed out.....it's just a matter of time.

QVC has great pricing and deals on WEN. Can't get deals like this on the WEN website or anywhere else.

Ridiculous. Items did not go up that much. And tariffs have not caused prices to jump at other stores. QVC is not a discount retailer. Never has been. As others have stated, other places offer free shipping, discounts etc.. Qvc offers no such thing.

QVC merchandise, D&C and AnyBody, is high because the products/items are VERY cheap and inexpensive to produce AND, there is no middle man.

I can't imagine why anyone would pay over $12.99 for any item with a D&C or Any Body label. D & C clothing is so outdated, ugly and cheap looking. Unless you live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, I can't imagine wearing anything from this line.

Susan Graver is ridiculously overpriced also. Inexpensive, unlined fabrics- She ad QVC are making a mint.

QVC needs to get with the program and start offering customers with Free Shipping.

I buy my clothing from JJill. The quality is good, the sales are great and, I don't ever pay for shipping. If I purchase clothing from the Q, it is typically a LInea item OR a Barefoot Dreams item.

It's pretty rare that Q has the lowest price on something. Other retailers offer free shipping and returns too. Then add in their promo codes and real sale prices. I always price shop.

Prices at other retailers have gone up too. I've compared prices at a lot of retailers and know what things cost a year or two ago. Everything is more expensive than before from food to clothes to appliances to cellphones to electronics, etc etc. The tariffs affect everything coming from China, in particular. No business is going to absorb the higher costs.
