@Tinkrbl44

'Check hold' means you choose to send a check as the method of payment, instead of a credit card, debit card or Paypal.

Many shoppers use this as a way to 'hold' the item while they decide if they really want to purchase, check reviews, etc.

QVC is in business to make money for QVC. They are not your best friend. They are not in business to bring you the best for the lowest price know to the retail business. They are not here to make your life easy and breezy.

@KingstonsMom no buying for me either!

@JillyMarie. I don't disagree with you but then QVC should not be standing for Quality Value Convenience.

@JillyMarie of course QVC can do whatever they want but to simultaneously advertise free shipping while raising prices is deceitful to me.

And I'm not here to keep their corporate coffers overflowing... It's disingenuous to claim a big deal incentive and then raise prices across the board... If QVC ever offered a real sale or an honest to goodness customer incentive we'd all know the end is near....

@JillyMarie

If there prices aren't competitive and sales continue their downward trend, as they have been for a while....they wont remain in business very long....

It's a slogan, a sales tactic.

L’oreal: “Because you’re worth it”

Did L'oreal's slogan convince you to spend more than you should have?

I'm not trying to start up with anyone, just pointing out the fact that QVC is no different than any other retail business when it comes to the bottom line. QVC's salespeople however sit in your home and befriend you and share homey tales of a perfect life you could have if you buy buy buy.

@tipsy @stevieb @Spurt

I totally agree with each of you.

Beth I appreciate free shipping but can you try to convince the power that be to offer a 20 percent coupon ? HSN had one this weekend and also got free shipping. I saved over $35. I dont understand why QVC does not offer coupons to loyal shoppers.

OK. As I said I am not trying to get into an argument with anyone. I do however have the right to an opinion and you have the right to skip over my post. So please feel free to virtually ignore me.

Pearlee — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 18:08:32 GMT

@JillyMarieno not just a slogan analogous to your other example because when QVC started up and for the years under the original founder it lived up to that name. It was not just a slogan. I shopped with Q then when it lived up to that name. And it was still back then a for-profit corporation.

I have been here today off and on but nothing for me. I have bought too much this summer-don't want to see my Visa bill. Free shipping would be okay and but high prices for me still. I like D and C but ridiculous prices this past year. I wait for the specials. I buy at other places on the web that have free shipping constantly. The clothes are good enough for me.
