And it Slowly Morphs

Dar321 — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:46:30 GMT

Going to HSN website, it's turning into QVC and I hate it. Like most, I like shopping 2 differerent stores. Well, now I just saw the pilates reformer over there. All the free shipping is gone. Most stuff on sale, is not marked down, like HSN used to, and I'm sad......rant over

I actually prefer Q. H doesn't cater to petite sizes. They do have some, but not many

I'm very sad about it also. Have been watching the prices of my favorites/clearance go up.

@Dar321 @CinNCCompletely agree. I've had several items in my "favorites" list for quite awhile. In the past the price would have been reduced by now. It seems HSN is following QVC in their pricing schedule. NOT a good thing. I already miss the "old" HSN.

I like the Q too, but I just didn't want HSN to turn into....but it is

Last night when I went to bed, I was channel surfing....got to HSN. Watched a few minutes. They were showing a Hoover floor scrubber......it was for free shipping. No, I didn't buy it.

Saying that, I agree.....HSN isn't what it used to be.

HSN recently had a snow thrower as a TS and Shannon Smith and Sarah Anderson went up to the QVC Studios to present it. Inevitably they will become one.

I agree. This has been being discussed on here and we're all just waiting for the merge to happen. Me too am disappointed in the whole thing. Prices and shipping will forever be out of control now on both channels.......my New Years resolution is to quit buying from both of them.

HSN had so many distinct & different qualities. I turned to HSN over QVC for different reasons, but now, no more. HSN is becoming a clone of QVC. Maybe it’s time to slow down my buying on both channels. I’m missing HSN’s uniqueness.

@Dar321 ITA. Part of the shopping draw IMO is "Viva la difference." It's a little like people.......if we all looked the same and had the same personalities, how boring and redundant would that be?

I'll be trotting over to Evine at 8:00pm on Thursday to see the debut of SSC there. Their website has all the old products listed, but it will be interesting to see how much they are going to be charging. Knowing them, prices will be rising on my old favorites, but I do miss Jennifer.

I figured that was going to happen.

I think Qurate is short-sighted in not keeping HSN as separate and distinct from QVC.

I liked that HSN was different. For me, making it another Q has reduced my choices. I just don’t see the advantage of it for customers.

@2blonde I also will. I ordered the pink zit stuff for my daughter. That stuff works great. I think Evine will be the new HSN. Wonder if Andrew Lessman will go over there??

@Dar321 Good question. I don't particularly care for Evine's pricing policies and shipping charges, so I'd prefer he stay at HSN. I'm pretty well stocked on Andrew and Jennifer right now, but I will still be watching Jen tonight and this weekend. I'm curious about Evine's pricing on SSC items.

@Dar321 I just saw where the Dri-Lo 2-pack is available as a "must have" for $29.50 (thought you'd be interested).

Thank you for this post @cyw_3825 as this captures exactly what I have been thinking/feeling. HSN had their own unique products and ways of selling them. We have QVC's and to a much smaller extent Evine's footprints in terms of what vendors they prefer, what gets on air and how often. I always felt like HSN had a more level playing field and also offered much better perks for shoppers. For me, it seems like somebody is slowing letting the air out of HSN's balloon.

I agree. I use to watch HSN a lot, now not so much.

I don't shop either of them much any more, but like others, I figured eventually Qurate would dilute HSN... Great, just what we shoppers needed... A couple more TV channels steeped in repetition, hyperbole and typically as dull as ditch water... And another retail entity that offers virtually no real or meaningful sale prices or other incentives for their customers...

And now, Andrews vitamins are on QVC's website....becoming one and the same slowly, but surely....sigh
