Easy Pay, Every Day, All The Time

Caaareful Shopper — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 03:24:38 GMT

That was the big announcement. QVC has made Easy Pay an every day thing. All day, every day, on every item.

Rick announced it in tonight's show he has with Antonella. You can find details on their homepage now.

Too bad they didn't announce free shipping once a month!

Hardly impressive but it might appeal to some.

I would rather have free shipping, at least once or twice a month. I already have automatic easy pay with the Q card. Plus, you can go in debt with all the easy pay.

I didn’t know there was supposed to be any announcement. There might as well not have been one. This is nothing. Save me some money and I’ll take interest.

HSN announced 3 FlexPays every day.

Wow they are really late to the party. Other channels have done easy pays all day everyday for a while. They just call them something different.

Easy pay or free shipping???? There's no comparison when it comes to the cost -- isn't that why we shoppers like free shipping and companies really don't?

@millieshops. Free shipping is a myth

Easy pay is an annoyance on lower priced items. I don't want tiny charges coming for months on my credit card.

I recently ordered an item for around $75.00 total. Easy pay was offered for 5 or 6 payments (don't remember). I declined. What I would like is the option to select my own easy pays like HSN offers. Breaking up the $75 into 2 or 3 payments works better for me.

HO HUM.....so this was Q's "big announcement".......😴

I find this interesting because a few years back ONE of the Executives was suggesting that they do away with Easy Pay because some customers were defaulting on their Easy Pay commitments ..... but then they decided against that move and Easy Pay stayed and has been expanded....It will be interesting to see what happens going forward....those small Easy Pay installments can quickly add up and people can find themselves in serious debt.....And to me Easy Pay does not change an uncompetitive price....

Personally I would like to see them offer ONE SHIPMENT CHARGE if you order multiples of the same item number sent to the same address (say you would wanted to purchase a blouse or shoes in 2 different colors, why should I pay for TWO shipment charges when they are thrown in the same box!!!)

@TeddixatSo true. I grew up in a family of small shop keepers where you learn fast that everything has a cost I think the only question when it comes to free shipping or any other sales device is who pays that cost.

I do use pay on occasion. However, I prefer the way Hsn does it. Their website allows HOW MANY months I want it.

Yes, I know that I can go into the plan and pay it off, but why should I have to do that?

EasyPay is convenient, but it is also a credit card trap. HSN offers occasional 20% off discounts and a lot of free shipping offers, or special all day/one low cost shipping. I guess Q management thinks this will increase revenue with shoppers taking the plunge due to deferred payment. But I would rather have the discounts or free shipping.

Easy pay every day is great but...there should be an option to select how many months you want. Six is way too many especially on lower priced items. Three would be a better option. QVC TAKE NOTICE!!!! LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!!

Which customers should QVC listen to; the ones that would like 3 months EP's the ones that want 5 or 6 months, or the ones that say, "get rid of easy pay, too many people don't manage it well, it's a trap that gets them into trouble".

We're adults. Don't like EP, don't use it. If an item is on 6 EP's, and 3 would work better for you, pay it off, whenever you want.

@Spurt

The one or reduced charge for multiple items going to the same address was once how QVC operated. I was not happy when they did away with that. Why charge multiple shipping on 2 lipsticks of the same brand? Excessive!

I would think this makes IT's job eadier. No keeping track of what is or what is no longer on easy pay every day.

Easy pay isn't enough to draw me back to shopping with QVC. Better prices, sales and other incentives would. Oh, and some new, quality merchandise would help. Since QVC doesn't offer any of those things, I'll take my shopping dollars elsewhere.
