Never complain about QVC’s shipping, again

SuhseK — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 00:15:09 GMT

My SO was talking about how the best hot dogs, on the planet, are fromThe KC Cattle Company.

OK he has a Birthday soon. I checked the dogs out. They’re
Wagyu, so, expensive; $9.99 for a package.

BUT——-to ship the dogs, ground shipping, to SPOKANE WA———-$25.00!! $34.99 for a pkg of hot dogs 🤪🤣🙃

Now I know shipping food is more expensive, but, I assume, these are delivered by an armed hot dog guard, driving a refrigerated Ferrari 😂

Sorry, SO, I just couldn’t pull the trigger 🤣

I've ordered food on line before, from fish to steaks, and most places will have free shipping, if you buy a certain dollar amount, say, for example $100.00.

@SuhseK

Shipping perishables like food is expensive. I usually talk myself out of it and choose a different gift.

He will be disappointed not to receive his favorite hot dogs. I hope you come up with something else that he likes.

Think of it this way. Pretend the dogs are $25 and the shipping is $9.99.

I have a few ideas.

Depending on how good a boy he is, he might still get the dogs🤪

I once paid $14 to ship a $30 necklace from Portland, OR to
SPOKANE. Really wanted that necklace, and I’ve only worn it a few times

@SuhseK , you should get him the hotdogs. His birthday only comes once a year. He would be so surprised

@SuhseK I think they're cheaper than the waffles David had on last night. Someone posted about their cost which was about $38 -- shipping included. And you thought your hot dogs were expensive???!!!

I just read about those hot dogs this morning! At first I thought it was the Kansas City that QVC carries, but it is not.

I went to order them. NO WAY I am paying $25 in shipping for EIGHT dogs! EIGHT? Not eight pounds, 8 dogs.

My price came up as $12.99 not, $9.99.

Don't blame you, I didn't order either. I believe they may be sold out now, or on backorder, so I guess others were willing to spend the money.

I love that the company is Veteran owned...wish I could have supported them.

Maybe QVC will get them some day and a better price WITH the 30 day guarantee! Then I will try them.

I would not pay $25 to ship some hot dogs.

QVC would charge $34.99 for the package and say free s/h.

That's how I would look at it too. I don't care how they break it down (shipping, handling, BOGO, free with purchase, or whatever). The bottom-line price is what matters to me. Is what I'm getting worth that price to me? If yes, I buy. If not, I don't.

In my world, no hot dog would ever be worth that but if that's what he really wants, buy them. We all splurge on special things from time to time.

@SuhseK

Are you going to spend at least $35 on his gift anyway? If so, buy the hot dogs and don't break down the price. It's what he wants and he will be thrilled. Why spend that same amount of money on something he may not want or like as much?

I just went to their web site and it looks like almost everything is sold out. So there are people out there willing to pay the price. I accept that shipping is high expecially for perishables.

If I was OP, being it was a birthday gift, I probably would have swallowed hard and just went ahead and ordered the hotdogs despite the high shipping cost.

I would feel a little bad he wasnt getting his fav hot dogs but there is just no way i would pay that much for a pack of hot dogs to be sent ! Fav or not!

Waffles and pancakes about almost the cheapest food of all...they must be pure profit.

I like ordering food on line. I can get food that isn't offered in my home town.

For example, once a year, I order this for myself. It's from Omaha Steaks.

It's a 48 ounce (that's THREE whole POUNDS!) T-bone steak.

For me, it's a treat.

Yes, it's pricey. It sells for $90, but as I said, I get it only ONCE a year.

And no, I can't finish it all in one sitting.
