easy pay

Is it just me or has any body realized that by using easy pay you are paying more. Not by much just a few cents. Example there was a throw on today for $19.98 or 4 easy payments of $5.00. That's $20 and free S/H so the 2 cents extra couldn't go to S/H/ If you took the amount of orders for the throw on easy pay and times it by 2 what is QVC doing with that extra money.. Using easy pay on a credit card the total amount is taken from your available credit but you are only charge a snall amount each month. Will not be using easy pay. Also still looking for a good up to date email or physical address for breezies. The last email address I wrote to with no respnse. Looked at the last emal written and it was from 2016. I just don't understand how a company of their size has no way to contact them.

The way that works is that one of the payments ends up being less than that amount by a few cents.

@baby22. Yes, I've noticed that but am not losing sleep over a 2 cent loss.

@Kachina624

I have known several people who are too cheap to put a stamp on an envelope....and actually DRIVE to the various utility offices to pay the bill in person.

(I never said anything to them about the price of gasoline....) di

PS: They don't "trust" online payments, either.

I think the last payment is adjusted to be $ .02 smaller in the example you posted.

It really doesn't matter to me. If it would cost somone 2 cents more to be able to afford something they want or need, that is a small amount to pay for the connivence.

Persoanally, I don't use easy pay. If I don't have the money on hand to pay for the items on hand....I'll pass.

There is nothing that QVC sells that is a necessity for me.

@baby22 @It is offensive to even use the term "easy pay". How do they know what amount would be "easy" for someone to come up with? I have to laugh when bigger more expensive items like the e bike or the Eco Flow power bank have "easy pays" of 480.00 I might consider 10.00 easy to pay, where someone else might consider 500.00 easy to pay. It reminds me of the old Fingerhut tactic of weekly payments!

Unbelievable. It's offensive? 🙄 It's an installment plan, for heaven's sake.
