QVC Birthday

So are they going to do something for the customers, or are we just supposed to enjoy the party ambiance....

Not my definition of a party.

.... and the photos of the hosts from the last 35 years. Not really expecting anything else, so maybe I will be surprised.

I vote for free shipping. I don't care about easy pays.

@chessylady I don't understand the draw for easy pay ... if you can't afford the whole amount now, then you can't afford it. Crazy how they make such a sales pitch out of it. Agree, free shipping all the way!!

Easy pay, flex pay, etc. is probably one of the biggest factors that made shopping channels successful all these years.

I lost my pension so I'm on a tight budget & appreciate easy pay, I use it for all my Q purchases....another advantage is I don't have to wait for a full price refund if I have to return an item. Free Ship is good too & if it's combined with easy pay it's a big win win.

Ouch losing your pension that must hurt. So sorry to read this. Is this something that you were expecting or did this happen because a company closed down

Why judge people that use it? If you don't use it fine, but why judge people that do? I will never understand that.

Personally I use it as a tool. I opt for easy pay, when I receive the item and know I am going to keep it, I go in and pay it off. This way if I am going to return something i am not out all the money until I am refunded. Having said that, I also don't buy a ton of stuff and in the 30 years I have been shopping with QVC I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I have returned something.

It works well for many people. Just because some can pay the whole price up front doesn't mean it should be dismissed out of hand for others.

This is the most pitiful 'birthday celebration' I've ever seen at QVC in 26 years.....just sad.

The QVC Birthday Celebration is supposed to have surprises. Wouldn't Free Shipping be a good surprise? Wouldn't TIMELY, free shipping be an astounding surprise?

Free shipping is the only thing that will bring me back to shopping at the Q. Easy pay is just a way for consumers to get in debt. Not a fan of the easy pay and will never use it again. I am sure I will get haters responding so please don't.

How about coupons for loyal QCard customers?

That and fix the tracking errors that keep popping up. Or better yet, ship everything in one package instead of individual packages. I ordered 5 things at once and they came in 5 seperate packages.

Would be a nice birthday gift to customers to give $ dollars off any item based on how many of the 35 years a customer has been a QVC customer . Say if you opened an account 35 years ago than you get a QVC gift money for $35 to use immediately .

All this clearance item prices and then today they increase the clearance price . The sale prices of $3-6 off is pretty lame for clearance. Motivates me to go to the store . Even Talbots is having another decent sale of 30% off.

This off and on unannounced free shipping is a drag , esp if you miss it sveral times in a row.

@CorrTor

Why limit it to "QCard" customers?

All payment methods are money in QVC's pocket. I say coupons for ALL customers, regardless of payment method.
