Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

ellaphant — Tue, 14 Aug 2018 21:12:04 GMT

I saw the post about Q 2018 2nd quarter and the responses. I have come to find QVC boring and I rarely ever watch anymore. When I do I see a repeat of trends- now the bell sleeve and the constant cold shoulder. And a repeat in other categories. I never watch Evine and only once in a blue moon do I watch HSN which is as boring as QVC.

Haven't made a purchase here in over a year. Bought a few jewelry items from HSN. Nothing expensive, tho.

I only view products online.

However, in my determination to do my part to bring far less stuff into this house, and follow thru with not buying gifts for Christmas, I deleted my credit card from my account.

I have turned it off when cetain host are on. I find it very off putting for certain host to say in one presentaion that they wear a a certain size. Over and over again. I would much rather talk about the models and what size they are wearing. I was watching and wanted to know the size of the plus size model and it was never mention.

Please Qvc help us/

Getting to expensive with all the designer brands. I cannot afford hundreds of dollars for handbags or shoes. Even their tops are getting too expensive and don't get me started on their shipping.

Only 2 shows a week I watch now. I used to watch for hours, so yes, definitely watch less.
Hosts are so annoying and programming is boring.
Not buying much either.

I've never watched a lot and mostly shop online. I'm not buying less now than I did 6 months ago.

Since they changed the program guide I'm not getting notices of shows anymore. I don't watch a lot of QVC, the reminders I use to set were helpful in knowing when the shows I liked were on.

When home shopping was new, I watched all of the time. However now there are so many options and the tv presentations are so repetitive that when I do order it is from the website.

I rarely watch QVC but I am buying more than I ever bought before. I do most of my shopping online and QVC is another online store to me. I don't care about the hosts or the vendors. I only care about "the stuff" and I can see more of that by surfing QVC.com than I would ever see by watching the programming.

I buy just about as much as ever. But I do tend to do it more in spurts. I'm on a bit of a tear right now...those fall decorating shows get me every time.

I just edited this reply to add that if QVC wants me to go nuts with ordering, GIVE ME FREE SHIPPING DAY!!!

I'm buying more than I have in the past. So many things I need/want can be found at QVC and I don't have to take the time or spend the gas to drive to store, try to find parking, and stand around until a clerk can wait on me.

Life is a lot simpler now that I found QVC around four years ago.

The majority of my viewing is just drive-bys while advertising is on during the shows I'm watching. Or if my show is coming on in 5 or 10 min I'll kill the time on QVC if anything the least bit interesting happens to be on. Or in the middle of the night when I can't sleep might watch it for awhile. Used to be a pretty active purchaser years ago, to the point where my family called me the QVC Queen but only once in a blue moon now.

I agree with this, In fact last week I sent QVC an email stating programing is boring with too many repredative TSVs. The programing showing same items are not new and excitinge. Don't tell me rto change chanels. I do this already.

I will surf around and stop if there is something I need. Today I got my two TSV storage benches. They are well made and look very nice in my living-room.

I watch very infrequently and buy very little. I sometimes watch Louis as I like his fashions and I watch some of the home decor shows.

It is very rare for me to watch anymore for more than a few minutes. The last few items I bought after looking online were disappointing so I will be buying even less often.

I have it on sometimes in the background when I'm doing things around the house.

I shop a lot on the app though.

I still buy fairly regularly.

Some of my favorite items are Or Paz and Carolyn Pollack jewelry, things for the home from Valerie Parr Hill, clothing from Laurie Felt, Women With Control, some Denim and Co. items, and Isaac. I'll buy Philosophy if they have a configuration that I can't find elsewhere. I buy IT cosmetics here too.

I like QVC.

I order something now and then. Not enough to keep them in business.

I haven't purchased anything since the spring when I got a couple of pairs of Skechers. I'd probably buy more but every pair of jeans look like they are spray-painted on, almost every top has a peplum, cold-shoulder, high-low, shark-bite hem, a big NO to any pant that has a band at the ankle. There's 4 vendors I refuse to watch and 3 hosts that aren't far behind. I've wanted to buy Lock n Lock and a couple of home goods, but the S & H made up 33-40% of the purchase price. A few years ago I bought practically everything from QVC, but nowadays maybe only 10% of my purchases are made at the Q. I really miss my old QVC.
