I always re check the few items that interest me, from the Q, with other retailers and prob 85% of the time, I can find them at a better price along with free shipping and returns. I really don't do much shopping here anymore.

Many times I can find similar products for less but mostly even if the price is the same, if it's free shipping, which it usually is, I will purchase from that particular sight. That savings alone is huge IMO.

I didn't buy much from any merchants this year, but I've been pleased with each of the items I bought from QVC. And I've been fortunate to have each order I placed show up at my door with a week or less.

My greatest disappointment came from Steinmart. I bought a pretty poly top. Yes, it was less expensive to buy than Graver, but I have Graver items that look brand new even though they've been washed and worn myriad times. I didn't even bother to pack the Steinmart top when I came north for the summer because after 2 washings, it's already looking limp and feeling clingy. Cheap to buy, expensive to wear!

@millieshops

I stopped shopping a Steinmart about twenty years ago beause of their poor quality.

@deeva lol I'd never heard of them until they moved into an empty storefront near my Florida condo. I have occasionally found a few home products that were decent value, but I should have known better than to buy the top I did. I've done far better at QVC and elsewhere for the same money.

I buy things that I haven't found elsewhere and for a decent price here at the Q. Jimmy the baker cinnamon rolls are wonderful, my locknlock is cheaper here, and I've gotten some very nice Isaac floral sweaters and my BFD dreams item are the best price, especially when you can get them on sale or clearance.

My last great find was a large drum style ceiling fan from Home Depot as their "deal of the day" on sale for $179 from regular price of $399 and after shopping around, I found it on Amazon for $155 and Home Depot price matched so it always pays to look around before making an on-line purchase.

QVC's clothing prices are not competitive at all--- I find better prices and quality at Dillards & Macy's..... And one QVC D&C top I purchased, the quality was so poor, even Walmart's clothing had better quality....

Some of Valerie Parr Hill's products are pricey and similar and like items can be found cheaper at Hobby Lobby, Home Goods, Kirklands, At Home......And Valerie's quality has been hit or miss too.... But if she has something unique I might still take a chance....sometimes Im pleased, and sometimes I'm not....

BUT....

Jim Shore has some good deals at QVC.....

I used to LOVE QVC's kitchen gadgets but these products are few and far between---ITKWD for several years now is mostly already prepared food items and expensive small appliances...

@millieshops The Steinmart here closed last month, as did Pier One and several other stores.
My problem with QVC and HSN is wasting time finding what I want and then it's on wait list or sold out but still on the screen.
Free shipping days some prices are more but items not available.
Lately several tops from QVC that were on sale have extremely long arms. I hope my granddaughter can wear them.

@1Snickers My preference for clothing is to shop locally always, but I stopped shopping this year even before the pandemic took over, so I have no idea what I'll confront when I decide to shop again.

Fortunately, I have enough clothing that I can comfortably wait a long time until a safe vaccine mitigates the danger of Covid 19.

I don't shop here because I expect the lowest possible price. I'm like the variety and the convenience. I just want fair prices.

@millieshops I agree I've been shopping in my closet! I walk the dog and she doesn't care what I wear!

@millieshops I loved shopping at Stein Mart for my work attire, but within the past few years, the quality had gone down and the styles of their career clothes weren't my type. I am, nevertheless, sad to see the store going out of business.

Why post this here? In community chat? Seems like you are unhappy with QVC. So shop elesewhere. Plenty of people enjoy QVC.

@millieshops

Funny you mention Steinmart. Although we don't have them in my state, when we would go back home, I used to shop there almost every trip. When I started buying more of my clothing from QVC, I thought they were much better quality than my Steinmart selections. Using Susan Graver as an example, they launder better, stay new looking longer. In fact, I think I have finally cleared my closet of my last Steinmart purchases because they just didn't hold up as well.

Gold jewelry. Sarraf has some really nice pieces and Q's inventory is rather weak, if you're looking for substancial weights. And the prices are hands down better there than here.

Yes, with brand and designer names. I see a lot of competitive pricing.

However, in my experience dollar store products aren't usually as good as brand names.
