Is there a difference in the cost of shipping something back UPS vs USPS?

Yes. UPS is more expensive than USPS. There are a lot of options with USPS so you can track or know when it's delivered.

Not to my knowledge....QVC's return label is a standard $6.95 whether by UPS or USPS.

Years ago I'd get around using Q's label and make my own and it was cheaper usually by half that way. Then rates kept going up, now its not worth it to do that, last time I checked, several yrs ago...it was about the same, even if I made my own label.

If you go to a UPS store, you can ship it either way. They will give you the price of both choices... YOU decide.

I was wondering this about this too. I mailed a return via USPS on March 3 and has not moved since March 9. At this rate it won't get to QVC in time frame for returns.

@ScrapHappy Is it my understanding that it has to be shipped back within 30 days of you receiving it. They go by the date you shipped it back, not the date that they get it.

@Puppy Lips @ScrapHappy I believe this is true. Once you ship you are not responsible for any delays so the return ship date is what matters.

@catter70 for a regular return they are the same price $6.95. For larger items it can be more. If you go on the Q website abd start a return it gives you the option for USPS or UPS and both are $6.95 but it does depend on the size and weight of the package

@catter70 In my area, our UPS Store will accept a pkg, and they will hand it to the USPS, when USPS visits that particular UPS Store, Daily, as long as our USPS Return pkg, is wrapped, & USPS labeled to QVC, or HSN. Good luck.

UPS is easier for me. I like there is better tracking with ups. At least here in California. USPS seems to track for a while, then before it gets there seems to get lost. I think USPS can be cheaper, but you woukd need to purchase your own insurance
