Bye bye QVC

9pearls — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:02:41 GMT

I've been a QVC shopper since almost the beginning but I'm hanging it up. I can no longer afford their prices so I've been buying As Is. I used to be able to buy As Is clothing and never had a problem but over the last year or so, I've had to return too many items. Clothes that were obviously damaged, washed and shrunk, the wrong size or the wrong item sent.

I ordered an As Is Anybody cozy knit print top and jogger set in Large Tall. It arrived today and looked brand new, perfect condition. Then I noticed the jogger pants were the correct size but the top was a size Small. Does anyone actually check returns anymore? Anywho, I'm done.

QVC, you lost a Quality Valuable Customer. Thanks for reading. I just needed to get it off my chest. 💜

Thanks for the heads up. The best part of this post is seeing the 4 members who liked it---why they're still here is baffling. Never a positive thing about the Q. 😹

How many alternative personalities can one poster have in one night?

They are popping up all over! I'm sure there will be more appearing.

So glad you are entertained!

Everything is not always perfect in "cheerleader land" and a person has a right to vent when something goes wrong and they feel like leaving even a person with a "low score".

Everyone can post their opinion even if you don't like it.

Who cares.

I had to start over at 1 post two weeks ago because Q's systems didn't work. That doesn't mean I'm new or have an alternative personality. And even if I did, it's not your problem.

Most people can disagree without being mean and snarky. But not here...you'll soon know the names of those who couldn't say a decent word even if it saved their lives.

In general, the ones with a negative comment are sharing disappointment. The more posters we belittle, the less posters will return and there goes The Forum.

I do very well buying "as is" - I honestly can't think of any I've returned. I have returned items when I've received the wrong size in a bag that was the right size.

IMO QVC does very well considering the number of items sold. And returned. So they aren't perfect. Who is? Sort of like the post office. The sheer volume makes me give them grace.

Wondering how many posters that say they are done,eventually return?

i totally understand the OP. glad u expressed yourself! don't listen to snark and come back on other forums!

the prices have gone up, there is no doubt about that. but they have everywhere not just here.

it is getting very difficult to find bargains and if you are home bound or have a difficult time getting out, then Q is a source.

but today, almost every store ships to home.

Choices!

i have had to return about 4 'as is' items over the last 5 years or so, so for me, its a win.

eg: i needed a make-up organizer. looked here and other places.... $30 and up.

went to Home Goods found one on clearance for $8, perfect condition. saved over $20!

bargains are out there, but you cannot be in a hurry and have to search...time consuming.

for me, i did not need it ASAP, took me about a month to find it....

@Shanus These are my feelings and observations as well, and have been for a long time now. Well said.

Thank you to those who understand and had a kind comment. I loved QVC and it became an easy trusted place to purchase clothes... until it wasn't. It broke my heart a little. I know that sounds silly because it's a shopping channel but that's how I felt.

I haven't posted much over the years. I have poor vision and it's difficult for me to type. I didn't realize my three other posts were negative. I thought I left some positive ones too. I apologize.

God bless you all, including those who left snarky comments. A little unasked for advice- Be kind. You never know what someone behind an avatar and username is going through.💜

The main reasons why Q was good for me-

1. My vision stinks and it's hard to see colors. Denim & co colors mostly stayed the same over the years, making it easier to put outfits together.

2. QVC sizes used to be more consistent.

3. I knew how to work the app and could enlarge images and use a magnifying glass to get a good idea of what I was buying.

2. I don't drive so it was easy have my mailman pick returns up on my porch.

I worked in retail for years but never appreciated how much harder it is for vision impaired indiduals to shop. 💜

Alternate personalities? I honestly don't understand your comment. Are you referring to me. I'm Dawn. Always have been for 70 years.

Sorry for messing up my posts. I'm having all kinds of behind the scenes troubles posting. Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain.

Hello Dawn. Nice to meet you! Love the necklace. It looks great with your top.

Great pic!
