What does being a QVC VIP mean? What are the perks?

Yes, I received an email about joining the ShopHQ VIP.

Not joining.

What the heck, I was shocked to see this email. That is crazy, 16.95 a month, I do not think so.

"For a monthly VIP rate of $16.95, ShopHQ VIP members will receive unlimited free shipping for purchases and returns on ShopHQ as well as 5% cash back on all ShopHQ purchases. In addition, ShopHQ VIP members will be eligible for cash back and shipping benefits at over 1,000 other retailers who are part of ShopHQ’s special VIP network."

I think you'd have to do a lot of shopping at ShopHQ in order for this to pay off - it's $204 per year.

Sounds like they are copying Amazon Prime?

At $204 annually, do the math how much you would have to spend to recoup your membership. I don't think this ship will sail.

It sounds like you have to submit a claim for recoupment of shipping charges and then you will get a monthly check. Maybe if you shop a lot there and with the other retailers it could pay off but they probably count on many forgetting to submit claims.

It took 5 posts until someone finally said what it was.

Sounds like retailers are getting creative in drawing in consumers.

This thread reminded me of a QVC survey I received several months ago about my shopping habits; there were many questions about Amazon Prime, and would I consider paying a monthly fee to receive "free" shipping here (no), questions like that. I wonder if QVC is going to offer this too.

i cant see this taking off, not for $17 per month.

I can see QVC doing the same thing.

For a monthly fee, get free shipping and free returns, plus get a percentage back, and with every purchase, you earn "Q dollars", that accumulate with each purchase, and can be used towards a future purchase.

ShopHQ's product line has deteriorated to the point where there is literally nothing left that I want to buy. I no longer even check the site.

Re: VIP?

kittyloo — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:18:27 GMT

i read it, as saying the free shipping was on returns only.

i was gonna check, but already deleted it. no thanks.

You might want to edit in ShopHQ in your topic.

I think it's ridiculous! The Invicta boys are absolutely trying to suck out every penny out of SHQ customers. $17.00 a month, really? As someone else said there nothing left to buy. Unless it's watches you want.

I won't be signing up for it, I haven't purchased anything from ShopHQ for nearly 2 years. My last purchase was sometime Nov 2017. I look at the site occasionally, but there's nothing there that interests me. (there is one item, but the price just went from $99.99 to $224 in the past couple of days, I can do without)

Re: VIP?

kittyloo — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 18:06:13 GMT

actually this is where i buy most of my clothes now. but i'm sure that i don't shell out $17 a month in shipping.

It appears that some of you didn't bother to read the whole email. The benefits if you enroll include the following. I shop a lot with them and their shipping is much higher than HSN and QVC so, for me, it's worth considering. I have to do the math. Figure out what I paid in shipping charges over the last 3 months.

Free shipping/free returns

5% cashback when you shop at ShopHQ

5% cashback at over 1000 "Marketplace Retailers" Which I assume means that other retailers will be selling on the ShopHQ platform. Like Amazon.

@Peaches McPhee

That's true...LOL People were knocking it when they didn't even know what was....LOL I had check my email to see what the benefits were. ShopHQ's shipping is not inexpensive. The do a lot Value Pays but they do not do much free or reduced shipping. I think it will be very attractive to shoppers who shop with them a lot. I'm looking at $99.99 lamp, shipping is $11.99. So saving 5% on the charge and free shipping would be a lot of money back in my pocket.

The only thing I buy there is Isomers maybe four times a year, so no go. Plus, it’s not like amazon that has everything under the sun.
