A NEW LOW PLEASE MODS ADDRESS THIS

Perkup — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 21:27:58 GMT

FOR ME, QVC HAS DEFINITELY HIT A NEW LOW. YES, I AM SCREAMING.

My daughter wanted to order Crepe Erase, and I let her do that on my account. She always pays me back, so this is nothing new and just fine with me.

Her box arrived a couple of days ago. Since she was out of town it just got opened. First the box was clearly marked Guthy Renker. It had not been concealed in any way. Guthy Renker had a commercial going on tv at the time she opened the box. The price at GR is $39.95, plus there is an additional (third) item included. Their shipping is free per the commercial.

QVC used this same GR box, and charged my daughter $89.90. That's a $50.00 upcharge, and no shame involved. Do they really think that their regular (or irregular) customers are going to stand for this insult? I'd love to hear what others think. I don't like working with Guthy Renker, but I don't like being shafted either.

Often times the GR price to get the product home looks very inexpensive but it is followed by 3 or more additional payments if you keep the product. This is always not quite so obvious. Could this be the case here? If not, there does seem to be quite a price difference.

That would definitely have me sending it back.

I wonder if they are the same amount in ounces? The Guthy Renker site doesn't show the ounces even when you zoom in.

But I would return it anyway.

It sounds wonderful but when that commercial came on awhile ago, I searched reviews and most all say it did nothing.

I find the wording on the GR site confusing but they did list a number. I would call for clarification before using their site. 18007701886

@PerkupSorry to read about this but I have to ask...did the product work??

Whenever I see those low prices on Gunthy Renker, I always assume it's a 30 day sample size. Then you are on auto delivery for the regular size at the REAL price.

@SunValley ~ I believe you are right on this. Years ago, I purchased Victoria Principle's "Reclaim" through GR infomercial for the infamous amount of $39.95. I canceled future shipments

within a few days of receiving product, and they kept charging my CC for the next few months. It finally was resolved, but what aggravation😤 I made sure never to purchase from these

rip off artists again. Buyer beware!😈🐍

I don't understand your complaint. It is up to you, the consumer, to shop around for the best prices. Why are you mad at QVC for the upcharge? That is how companies make money--off people who don't do their research.

------------------
I know several people who have ordered products from GR and then wanted to cancel their orders/
account. They had a very difficult time getting it closed. Every month - for several months - a new package
arrived and a new charge on credit card - even though they had requested the cancellation of the orders. Their ads do look inviting, but I would never order from that company.
Get your refund back from the Q for sure!!!

The moderators wouldn't address this -- it would be customer service.

I would bet that (like another poster said) that the $39.95 is just a payment and not the full price OR they're much smaller sizes. Either way, it's up to the customer to shop around. It's not QVC's fault that she didn't buy it from the place where it was cheaper.

Yes, the G/R version is 'Regular' size. Couldn't find the ounces.

Then after a month, you will be sent a Full size...and auto-deliver

every 3 months. The QVC size is the larger size, thus more $.

HTH

@truffle I've heard the reviews on it are terrible. People seem to like the Gold Bond neck product better but I consider it very expensive at about $10./2 ounces, which a little over a week's worth. I tried it on my arms and it did nothing.

@Perkup-

This may make you feel better-

on Amazon, it says the 3.5 oz is $59.00

but the 8oz is $117.47!

So I guess QVC's price is lower.

Re: A NEW LOW PLEASE MODS ADDRESS THIS

Pqfan — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 23:05:00 GMT

They would have never done this back in the early days.

Now they are just like everybody else so I am not surprised.

I still like the company but the good old QVC days where they really meant

Quality,Value and Convenience sp? may or may not be the case.

YES. QVC price is lower.

But, of course, no one will take the time to understand it.

It's just more fun to complain.

How embarrassing for the OP and others who instantly attacked QVC.

I am not embarrassed.

I still think they don't care about what they sell the way they used to.

Re: A NEW LOW PLEASE MODS ADDRESS THIS

WenGirl42 — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 23:27:07 GMT

I don't think it's embarrassing. I wouldn't expect the Q to be sending out stuff they're (apparently) reselling from GR. And GR does a really good job of making it difficult, if not impossible, to know the size of the product you're buying from them. I assume what the OP received is actually the full size kit that GR sells for ~$120, but I'm not sure there's a way to confirm that.

When I buy WEN from the Q, it comes packaged in WEN boxes, not GR, even though it's also distributed through them. It would give me pause to open a Q box to find a GR box too.

Edit because my AC thought I meant "bores"

Re: A NEW LOW PLEASE MODS ADDRESS THIS

jewel3 — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 02:29:46 GMT

The Q does not send it from their warehouse. It comes from a different fulfillment center. That's why there is often a discrepancy in times that you receive things ordered at the same time. It is probably not the Q preference for the product to come in a GR box. Huge price differences are rather rare now that the various sites can shop each other. It is nice to get a better price or find something on sale.

Kachina624 — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 03:54:57 GMT

Apparently you can now rent time on QVC to sell your product just like you'd rent a billboard along the freeway. Classy, isn't it?
