Free Shipping-Thanks for Your Comments

Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate the feedback. Have a good nght all.

Anyone else feel "duped" by free shipping days and not refund of sipping charges for things you have purchased during the week directly before the free shipping day? It's a very shady practive on QVC's part. I suppose the lesson learned is not to purchase anything until there is a free shipping event.

No I don't feel duped. It's called running a business. That's just my personal opinion. I'm sure there are others who feel the way you do.

No, don't feel "duped" in your scenario. Unless I really need something, which hasn't happened yet, I wait for "free shipping" because otherwise I really feel "duped" paying additional for s/h which is already factored into the price of the item.

No, I definitely do not feel duped.

Laughable at best to say that QVC offering periodic free shipping days is a shady practice. 🙄

No I don't feel duped and why would anyone expect them to reimburse shipping on items purchased a week before. That's ridiculous. Shipping is a lousy $3.50. It doesn't even factor into my decision to purchase something.

@CTinRI

Shady practice offering free shipping?

No, I appreciate it.

No, they've never allowed purchases made before (or after) the event.

No I don't feel duped if I purchased something the week before a free shipping day event.

How is the Q offering free shipping considered shady? I appreciate the free shipping days.

If you can wait, just put things in your wish list!

@CTinRI. Are you serious? Heck no! What in the world is shady? If you don't like the rules, shop elsewhere. See if Macy's will give you sale prices for something you purchased a week before the sale started.

@CTinRI : No I don't feel duped and you shouldn't either.

Thats kinda nit picking...

Definitely don't feel duped. Free shipping is an entirely different thing than a sale price adjustment. It's meant to drive sales during the event, not lose revenue by going back a week and refunding thousands of shipping charges.

A couple of advantages to ordering from QVC is no annual membership to get free shipping and no required purchase amount to qualify.

Re: Free Shipping

CTinRI — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 00:00:17 GMT

As a. matter of fact, Macy's (Walmart, Kohl's =60 days) will give you the sale price within 30 days of purchase.

I think my using the word duped wa sa little strong. I realize they are running a business. I a business degree so I truly get it. I was thinking from the customer POV. Thanks for your reply.

Agreed.

@CTinRI Then shop at those places. The Q will get along find without you. You are very unrealistic about how a business operates.
