I’ve noticed QVC prices are getting high. Some of the clothing is WAY to $$ for me.

@anonymousShopper. Complain to the government that imposed tariffs on all clothing made in China. It increases the price of the average Q shirt $10-15.

QVC's high prices have been discussed on these forums many times through the years.

Jan. 2016

Why are QVC prices getting so high. And why the Big Designers with even more outrageous prices.

‎

Dec. 2015

Prices are getting too high on QVC and now buying less from them.

etc..

ETA : any new increased tariff hasn't started yet

Their pricing has always been high and not competitive imo.

I just bought 3 short sleeved tee shirts and 2 long sleeved tee shirts from Duluth Trading Company for $107. That included tax and free shipping. Those are my kind of prices.

I'd also like to add that the Q's clearance pricing on clothing is atrocious.

@Kachina624 Yes there are those tariffs - but supposedly they are an added 10%. If this were the case a $40 shirt would only be $4 more, right? Wonder what's going on.

@chlema. New tariffs have been imposed several times in the past year

Prices for women clothes are high everywhere to me no matter where you shop for quality clothing. I suspect that maybe these designers are not willing to give up some of their profit as they have in the pass. If it is like some of the other businesses the cost of doing it is getting higher. Cotton has increse in price and so has other fabrics. I remember when i first started shopping on QVC silk garments was offered a lot until the prices started rising.Times are changing and don't expect to see them change anytime soon. I also suspect these designers are also trying not to order a large amount of items since they have to pay for these items first before you ever purchase anything and I think we as consumers forget about that when we are making a decision and complaining about everything that they make. They are the ones maling a decision on what they think we the public might want and that is a whole topic for another conversation.

Or maybe it’s a good time to buy less. You only have one body and unless you go through wardrobe changes several times a day you’re not going to even wear half the stuff anyway.
