Markdowns

So what is the scale now? Going from least to most discount???
I have purchased As Is, Lunchtime Specials, Clearance Sale Price Final Sale Last Clicks etc. Recently purchases have been marked differently the day I get the package and not always able to get adjusted. I have also seen where prices have gone up on free shipping days! Buyer beware. If I have items in my cart should I wait for lunchtime specials or final sale price? Of last clicks? Anyone else have this problem?

I haven't had any of my Wish List items increase in price on free shipping days.

If you like something and it's a good bargain to you, go ahead and purchase it. Or keep eye on it in your Wish List.

There's no rhyme or reason to prices now. When you find something at a price you're willing to pay, buy it. It might go down later, or it might go up.

As for price adjustments, their new policy is very strict.

@LLLSSS. I must say, nothing on my brief wish list has ever gone up on a free shipping day.

If I really want something, I buy it when I see it first. I don't want to risk losing it just to save a few dollars.

the sale on clearance items confuses some

item goes on clearance.

they run sale on clearance.

sale ends and items go back to clearance prices.

To answer your question @LLLSSS , no, I don't have this problem because I really don't consider it a problem. As some others mentioned, I have never had items go up in price from my wish list on free shipping days. All my As Is, Clearance, Lunchtime/Primetime Specials and Last Clicks remain the same price.

Now, if you see items that are temporarily decreased in price, of course they will go back up. Items that are TSV's, One Time Only's, Bonus Buys, etc., have a limited time deal.

And again, as noted by other's, I buy when the price is right for me. If I really really want the item I purchase it knowing that the price may be lowered but I am okay with it since I want a particular color or size. Or perhaps, there are limited quantities.

If it doesn't get as low as I like I wait for free shipping days. And after that, if it is sold out before I get to my price point I have no worries. It wasn't meant to be and there is nothing on QVC that I must have to survive.

So although it can be a little challenging understanding QVC's pricing, no, I have no issues with them.

I actually have had some Wishlist prices go up on free shipping days, so I understand the disappointment of the OP.

And by price increase, it just really means the item goes off the sale price and back to the regular price. Even with free shipping it is not worth it.

I am tentatively considering buying a Bethlehem Lights tree, and shipping is $35.00! So far there has not yet been a time with both the sale price and the free shipping.

I did manage to get the Bethlehem Lights Deer with free shipping and the Black Friday price--I look forward to setting them up!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It kind of amazes me how people on here can be so condescending to complete strangers . I am very glad that you got your Christmas tree and I hope you enjoy.!! I have seen many go up and down with the last few free shipping since original posting. I was able to get a few things today with the free shipping and the colors sizes iI needed. So I guess patience can pay off!
Enjoy the tree.
