Black Friday Pricing

Has qvc explained how these Black Friday Prices work? Are they time limited, for example, ending on Sunday like lunchtime specials, or do they stick around til the real Black Friday?

TIA!

Notice QVC Black Friday prices continuing after big splash about the past weekend grand event. So, some items must have ongoing Black Friday prices. What is time, anymore, with Christmas in July and thru out before holiday and black Friday beginning ahead of holidays, multiple if not more times -Seems like all is one now. Lunch time specials occur daily at 11:30 am I believe.

im finding the Black Friday specials lackluster. Much better deals can be found elsewhere. QVC needs to institute "door busters" with 50 percent savings. Make them available only at certain times to generate interest and drive viewership.

Gimmick after gimmick IMHO. I notice most reduced prices today are on old merch.

I found a couple of QVC only deals that are well priced by any standard but that I would have rather waited to buy. But without any explabation on whether the Black Friday deals are time limited or not, I bit the bullet and shopped over the weekend. The thought being that I have til the end of January to return, so If I ended up making a mistake, I could get most of my money back. Very confused by the QVC pricing policies. Thye no longer seem to have any..

Q is not known for real sales, let alone a real Black Friday sale. I can find almost everything elsewhere for less. What few things I can't find elsewhere, I can find something almost identical for less.

@CalminHeart I shop here and elsewhere all the time. I know how to compare prices. QVC has some deals, admittedly not many. They sell a lot of stale merch (over a year old) at full prices when every one else is on clearance. But sometimes they have their own configuration of products at good prices. This happens with beauty and other things.

I posted elsewhere about a pair of Clarks tall wide boots, that I bought at the regular QVC price of $128. I didn't find them for less anywhere else online when I purchased. Another poster mentioned the other day that she got the same boots at 30% off from Macy's, and was happy. I checked the Macy's website, and their regular price for the boots is $180. So the 30% discount brought the $180 price to $126, just $2 more than QVC. But Macy's doesn't carry wide, so I couldn't have bought there and it was a good buy on QVC. Kohl's currently has medium sizes for $150 (more than QVC), no wides. The boots are now available on Amazon (not at the time I bought them, I checked then), and the prices vary by size and color, which is he Amazon way. My size costs more at Amazon and they don't have my size in black, which is what I wanted.

These style of Clarks boots in my size fits me comfortably to walk around NYC (I don't drive), and I do not say that often about Clarks shoes.

So QVC has some good prices, but if you shop online, shop around! I have found some QVC items at about half price less on Amazon. And Amazon delivers fast with no S&H.
