HSN does such a good job with their one host and several models presentations. The hosts look professional and explain products without a lot of storytelling. Tuesday evening shows are a relief. Two hosts are not needed to present to present one product and HSN carries Birkenstocks.

I also like that HSN notifies you when an item in the "favorites" list is reduced. Wish QVC would do the same for their "wish"list.

@32degrees QVC shows up on my credit card virtually every month - HSN? Not for maybe 15 years!

Maybe if I could name one host fully, or knew of even one vendor whose products I might be able to use, I'd try again.

As it is - I vote with my money.

I especially love their all-day craft shows. And they often have a great shipping deal......only $5 for the entire day, no matter how many craft items you order. Oh.....and they also have Curtis Stone on quite a bit!!!!!

HSN is vastly superior to its lesser, inferior sob-sister channel in virtually every way.

Product.

Hosts.

Coupons and Sales.

Shipping.

@Krimpette I also love their all-day craft shows, even though I'm not into crafting. But there are usually a couple of ideas that cross-over into my painting and that I try out by hand.

I also buy the Tortuga Rum cakes, Marla Wynne items, a select few IMAN designs, and Andrew Lessman. Plus, HSN has a much better selection of shoes (in my opinion) that are not for the comfort-only shoe buyer.

@Johnnyeager

And to think years ago it used to be the other way around....QVC had the professional presentations, best products and shipping.....🤔

I receive a 20% off coupon several times a month.

All Today Specials ship for free during the July Birthday Month....QVC did not do this

Bundled shipping often ordered on clearance....never saw QVC offer that

HSN is now offering free returns that are REALLY free. LOL

I also like their promotions and coupons.

I can't believe that QVC is offering free shipping all month for Philosophy and did nothing special for Laura Geller.

@tends2dogs No, I believe HSN is finally offering free exchanges, like QVC has been doing. Not free returns.

@Caaareful Shopper I case you might not be aware....next Tuesday, 7/12, is another all-day craft shows.

Both HSN and QVC seve their purpose for my needs as well as Amazon. I have no need to criticize any company.

@Krimpette I did not know -- thank you!

@Caaareful Shopper And it's their Christmas-themed schedule.

@Pook

Excellent point. I shop all three you mentioned and others that have items I like that the three don't carry. So many options out there for price and quality so I don't limit myself.

Oh rats, @Caaareful Shopper ! I guess it was hopeful thinking......LOL. Thanks for setting me straight.

I prefer QVC in every way to HSN. I feel that the QVC hosts are better trained, and I prefer QVC's items to HSN. I do not like "Crafts" and avoid watching.

Re: Observations

MJDinVegas — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 03:55:51 GMT

@stellabystarlight , I feel the exact opposite in every way. I don't like crafts but I like the other product selections and buy far more fashion from H than Q. To each their own.

ETA: I'm not bored by H hosts telling personal stories. They provide relevant details, although both channels spend far too long on a single item.

Just received my latest 20% off coupon to celebrate HSN's Birthday Month!

Thanks HSN!

QVC did no such thing during their lackluster "celebration."
