Prices

Has anyone else noticed the increase in prices ? Finding myself turning away from so many items because of high prices.

Prices have been going up steadily for quite a while. When the fabric is not high quality and it is made in China, I look elsewhere. Then there's the ridiculous shipping charges.

@imaklutz I have been a good girl this year and have only ordered from the Q one time. I ordered during the Beauty with Benefits campaign and all of their prices are too high, material is rubbery and shipping is off the charts.

@imaklutz

I've shopped here for 25+ years and what amazes me is that every day I see brands that I've never even heard of (and I spend a lot of time online), that have even MORE ridiculous prices for what you're getting.

Not just QVC, it's all over. Grocery prices are the worst.

@imaklutz

Prices are going up EVERYWHERE. It is not exclusive to just QVC.

Rising gold prices are usually an indicator of inflation.

@imaklutz Are you surprised? With the increases in expenses for businesses, it only stands to reason that merchants would pass on what they've had to pay. Just the increase in unemployment taxes they'll have to pay must be huge.

I've observed the understandable recent price hikes also, but thank goodness for TSV's, easy pays, lunchtime specials, and clearance prices here at The Q.😁

I'm a bargain shopper, and have been finding great deals everywhere I normally shop, and even a few new places, as retailers struggle to move inventory.😊

Now the grocery stores...😲

Yeah, the prices are crazy high for what you get (with some exceptions of course). For example, today's TSV (D&C long cardi) is very high for such a thin litttle thing that doesn't look like it will hold up.

Watch for sales and clearance and specials, which I have noted are a lot more frequent then they used to be.

@Desertdi

Exactly! And it's at a record high!

I totally agree about the prices on QVC. The prices on clothing items have gotten outrageous and most are not worth it. I can buy a similar item on sale in a local department store or even a boutique where I can try it on and not pay the high shipping costs QVC has.

@Desertdi I didn't know they'd ever gone away.

@Kachina624 Apparently tax on aluminum from Canada has been "reinstated". "Stuff" seems to change every day, tho(!) d

I only buy clothing items when they're on sale. Even though I could I would never spend $60-$70 for a simple top. Don't need anything that much that I would pay that price for a polyester top.

I have been thinking the same! I just saw Susan Graver top on clearance for $40! No thanks. FYI, Zulily seems to get a lot of QVC items. I have seen Vionic shoes, Earth shoes, and a lot of top of the line facial creams on there site for half the price! Not only the prices, but the shipping/return cost always bothers me.

Yes, prices are increasing everwhere, but not at the same rate as QVC's clothing prices....The Department Stores are tacking on $3 to $5, but QVC tops that were $39 or $49 are now $59 and $70.....QVC needs to STOP comparing themselves to Boutiques and High End Stores (and they arent doing well financially BTW)....and check out whats happening in the REAL market place and the prices where their customers actually shop !!!

When you buy from a shopping network then you're paying for everyone and everything which brought it to that network for you to see it. Then you pay taxes on the s&h on top of that. It all adds up.

Didn't the Fed just announce they weren't going to try to control inflation? Is that a different issue?
