Why No Free Shipping?

Sapphiregal — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 20:40:46 GMT

My "rant" for the day.

QVC rarely ever offers free shipping, yet, I have noticed that they sometimes ship 2 separate orders placed within hours of each other in the same bag. They still charge two shipping charges, though.

Lots of other companies do offer free shipping.

I'm just tired of paying so much if the item needs to be returned.

I know....just quit shopping with QVC, you say.

I think it is clear that the q's prices are higher and include shipping charges -- it is needed to pay for the overhead/entertainment of tv shopping. It is not even convenient anymore due to the competition and their offers (free shipping, lower prices etc). We get it.

Just type Free Shipping into the search bar on the app or the website and 7000 items show up, which can be filtered by category. Of course, a lot are food items but other categories are plentiful.

That's how I often browse, shop and purchase.

@SandySparkles - Q Card holders only get free shipping when everyone else does (or at least I've never gotten a special offer for free shipping just because I have a Q Card). There are other perks, but typically they're percentage discounts based on a minimum purchase threshold.

I type free shipping in the search bar.

You can also find clearance prices by typing clearance in the search bar.

I have seen it offered regularly with TSV's and seasonal decor items.🥰

@Sapphiregal I got confused, and was thinking of the Easy Pay Every Day perk that has been reported multiple times, in my previous post regarding The Q card!😂 😂

THANK you SO much for the correction!!!🤗 You saved me more egg on my face!😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@TheMemphisVette @Sapphiregal

Free shipping sometimes costs you more.

Example:

You see two auctions on Ebay and the items are virtually identical in every way.

One auction has a price of $15 and shipping is $5.00

The other auction is $20 and offers free shipping.

With the "free" shipping you will pay tax on $20. With the other auction, you pay tax on only $15.

For some, it wouldn't matter because they are getting something free.

For others, it would matter.

@Tinkrbl44 - Actually, in some states, tax is assessed on the total transaction amount, not just the item price. (FWIW, I have been a seller on ebay for over 10 years and have shopped there for more than 25 years.)

ShopHQ offers free shipping everyday on all items! Maybe the Q should think about that.
