I've lost my QVC mojo!

mac116 — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 23:43:00 GMT

I watch very little QVC during the "holiday season", starting with Christmas in July. As soon as the window for delivery has closed (December 15), I come back to watch and buy. This year, my DH was home for 2 weeks vacation over the holidays. He does NOT like QVC, so I didn't watch. Now, I have NO interest to watch or shop. I don't miss it. Maybe in the spring?

I lost mine about 10 years ago, thankfully. I check online once in awhile, but it's always the same brands for the most part. On the other hand, I check out this forum on a daily basis! If an item is mentioned here that sounds interesting, I'll check it out and maybe order if it works for me, but I haven't tuned into the Q (or HSN) for years....and don't miss it at all.

I wish I had the will power to stay off line, I used to watch much more QVC than I do now, but the hosts get on my nerves too much.. I guess it's just too easy to go online, see what they have to offer, watch the video, click and it's mine.LOL Thank goodness, my husband does not care what I buy.

I haven't purchased here in more than three years. My bank account is growing and I don't miss it at all!

I've lost mine too and thank goodness! I purchased way oo much in 2018 so that's a good thing that I've stopped buying!

I might get interested again later this winter if they come out with some nice spring things.

When I retired, I went through much of my clothing. I was shocked at all the clothing that I bought to wear to work. I could not believe all the items that I never wore, they still were wrapped in plastic bags or still had tags on them. What a wake up call that was for me.

I am no longer working but I have numerous work outfits that were never worn. I packed bags and bags of work clothes to be donated when I first reired but I still have 2 closets packed with clothing.

I have so much stuff to purge, not just clothing. I never thought I would have to spend so much time purging all this stuff I bought on impulse.

PS - Just went past the place where I usually donate all my purged items. I can not believe it - the store is closed. I am so disappointed. The store helped homeless people. It employed the homeless and also provided housing. I don't know what happened.

@mac116 Your text was very well written. It kind describes how I feel.

I haven't been watching much QVC. In the past I'd keep it on in various rooms in my house (just for noise).

I spend a lot of time trying to avoid the news (it's all so depressing) so I'd put on QVC.

But I'm just not interested in buying stuff much anymore. I'm in the process of sending back things I'd bought and my family basically said, "Thanks for no thanks".

I've given friends some of what I bought too much of. Can you believe so many humidifiers it's as if they gave birth over and over!

Don't even mention those wireless earphones! Good grief! I went way overboard and my grandchildren don't want or like them.

I won't bore you with all of the stuff (a 5' tree that wasn't opened due to a family death).

I've finally learned that I don't really need or want much of this....fingers crossed....

It is just silly to order things people do not want,and things you keep in bags with tags on.

@drizzellla I totally get it!! As a matter of fact I could've written the very same thing. My husband and I just recently downsized to a condo and I was moritifed as to how much I over indulged in my purchasing!! I donated bags and bags of clothes, yes some with the tags still on them. It was such an emotional and difficult experience to leave our home but I feel so much better that we've purged and donated so many things that were just "sitting there unused". It was liberating and now we are looking forward to this new chapter in our lives.

Likewise. I haven't purchased much since November of last year. There was not much that inspired me (except Valerie Parr Hill holiday decor). I'm tired of spending $60.00 for a Graver polyester top, and feel that Denim & Co. needs a new designer. It used to be one of my favorite lines, but now feel its frumpy and the prints are for grandma. The return fees are too high as well. I'm with you....waiting for the more interesting items to follow.

I read in a Qurate presentation to investors that their "Best Customer", on average, makes 70 purchases a year.

That's a lot, and probably more than makes up for those who abandoned ship.

@mac116 Many people go in spurts....too much Q and I’ve had more than enough. 3 months later, there’s a few shows of interest.

I am still buying. Buying too much (mostly clothes & some jewelry). I have things I have never worn but bought just because they were a good deal, or something I thought I should have. I am going to really work on staying away and being very selective about what I buy and keep. Just this morning I decided to return my Lisa Rinna cargo pants because I did not like how the flaps on the back pockets stuck out. I will look for something else to return that I am not thrilled with because when I do returns, I like to send back more than one thing to share the return cost.

I never had QVC--no cable back then so I did my shopping at HSN and got swamped with dolls. When they went off I came here and never went back. It is clothes now but I will not pay the prices and don't much care for the designs since I am short.

I agree with the poster about Denim needing a new buyer.I love some of the shirts,but the prints are more fitted for a couch cover or drapery.

I don't like the family talk about Qvc and Hsn.Now Hsn lost free shipping and the occasional coupons.

There is no competition between them,therefore prices are higher.

I buy most of my cosmetics from Ulta.They offer free items,great sale prices.Often if you spend a certain amount you get a bag full of deluxe samples.

Plus rewards add up and you get huge savings.

I still watch Qvc and Hsn every day.

I agree with you Pipin. Gary seems nice, but designs for grandmas. The older Denim & Co. was more stylish. And yes, they have to appear friendly, but I'm not interested in Carolyn's life (the Garlyn) couple. Some of the clothing lines need revamping.
