As long as we still get coupons & free shipping from HSN. Wonder what Andrew Lessman thinks about going back to Q? I won't continue using a lot of his products should his prices go up with the move & not be able to get the specials & free shipping we get now.

I have not seen one of the other posts about this on the boards.

Liberty Interactive owns QVC. A short time ago they purchased Zulily. It was just announced that Liberty Interctive purchased HSN for $2.1 billion this week.

I found it interesting that the article states that QVC had lost so much in sales to other online businesses. Perhaps that's one of the reasons for the speed talking hosts.

Although I don't care for the hosts on either channel, I have purchased more from HSN - mostly electronics that I could get on flex pay. The prices are certainly reasonable when compared to others. I just purchased a dash cam for my husband's birthday, and, on flex pay.

I personally would not miss either one except for the easy/flex pays.

@Georgiagrama - if the Q has lost so much in sales to other online businesses, they only have themselves to blame. So many other websites offer free shipping after you order so much, the quality of Q products has taken a nosedive, and their service stinks.

@hoosieroriginal I totally agree. Every single electronic item that I have ordered always had free shipping. And, who can argue with Amazon Prime? I can find anything I need and get free two day shipping. I think the QVC customers have been begging for years for a break in shipping charges to no avail.
