RISING PRICES

LisaLisaD — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 16:04:56 GMT

Some of the pricing on QVC is outrageous. I just went online looking at denim jackets, alot of them are over 100 bucks! Even the "sale" prices are 79, 89, it's just rediculous. You can get a great denim jacket in Marshalls for 19.99.

And it's not just jackets, what about LOGO, Susan Graver, Kim, all overpriced for what they are. Slub knit is NOT made of gold! They sell it in every store, and the hosts talk about it like it's a priceless fabric. Those are only a few examples. I just think the pricing is way too high now.

I do too that's why I buy very little from here and shop other places.

I bought the cutest light green denim jacket from Kohls for around $29.00 a few months ago. Haven't worn it yet because it's to hot but come late November (if we're lucky) it will be cool enough to wear in the mornings anyway.

QVC used to be cheaper than brick & mortar stores. Now their prices are equal to or higher.Quality has also gone downhill.

Except for a few brands that I like (Women in Control, Laurie Felt), I'm shopping at the mall again. With sales, coupons & no shipping charges,I'm getting some really good deals. Macy's online is also a valuable resource for me.

I'm not paying those prices. I went thru the spare closet to get shirts for summer to wear. I rather wear my older clothes then pay the prices they have out there today. I'm keeping our money for us instead of giving it to others for very little in return?

When exactly was QVC cheaper than brick and mortar?

I've been 'shopping my closet'. I found some really cute things in there that I completely forgot about.

I have really good luck shopping at TJ Maxx. This week I bought a pair of Lucky brand white jeans straight leg classic fit for $34. They originally sold for $99. I also got a Gaiam yoga mat for $10 that I had seen elsewhere for $29. Got a clearance 100% cotton pintuck blouse for $13. Usually I am not looking for something specific just picking up a few items.

For quite a few years. I started with them20+ years and they were great. I very rarely buy anymore. I wish I had stopped years ago, but the prices and items were great, better than in B&M. No more and items cheap with high prices.

One more month and EP all paid.

I do like HSM better.

Know where price gouging is really going on? The grocery store.

Keeping in mind that the Q has never been a "discount" store it was always a "quality" store. No more. These prices are now ridiculous and the quality is just not there.

You have to eat. You don't have to overpay for clothes.

I try to shop only when it's free shipping. I still don't get why they charge for every piece when it ships to the same address! That can get especially pricy now that it's $5.50 per item.

I shop at Chico's and when you to a certain level it's alway free shipping and bonuses. I recently got $45.00 off total purchase and free shipping.

Lately I'm having incredibly good luck at consignment stores. Lots of practically new clothes for little cash. And it's such fun to score!

This is a common complaint. Customers are noticing. Particularly those who comparison shop and see they can get better quality at lower prices elsewhere.

Still there are good buys on QVC. Sometimes QVC has the lowest price compared to other retailers for the same or similar product.

It seems all the popular designers are pricing themselves right outta here ... Isaac, Susan Graver, Kim Gravel. C'mon guys ... 75 bucks for a little poly top? You can do better than this! Your QCard charges 32% interest, and shipping and returns cost 6-8 bucks each way. QVC, you're making it harder for your population to buy. HSN is a little better. Bring in free shipping and returns and lower that QCard interest ... uh ... while yer at it, bring back cotton. It's so unfair all the way around!
