SHOPHQ is now offering 50% off for today for 24 hours. They are probably trying to clear out as much as they can before end of Month.

There are still some really nice things on their website to purchase at a great savings, if anyone is interested!

Going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow with their website.

If they are going completely out of business which I assume is the case--not even being online--I find it strange that no mention is made of it. And the "extra 50% off" is for order $99+.

Agreed! I live in MN, and there has only been a couple of articles in the local newspapers about the layoffs, and that their Headquarters in Eden Prairie is completely being shut down, I believe by end of June. Otherwise it's been pretty quiet news wise.

@JKLSCH hello, thanks for posting. I've been eyeing the 24 hr offer 😁. Finally broke down and got these goodies: not bad all for $ 67ish + 6.79 tax. Products are dwindling down....going to miss them. I had a jasper bracelet in my cart but sold out 😫. Enjoy shopping🤭🤗🤗

Hi!

Nice purchases you made! Hope you enjoy! I am trying to behave myself (for now, lol!)

I DID buy a couple of things yesterday when it was 40% off.

I am really curious to see what the website looks like tomorrow.

I am going to miss them too. Has been one of my favorite places to shop for a long time.

It is so sad that they are going out of business. I actually worked there a long time ago, part time. Nice company back then and nice people that worked there.

@JKLSCH @Hi there, Sigma looks like a good concealer I see qvc carries Sigma, but concealer was much less on Shophq. Lipgloss and mascara looks good! Lol. I love Isomers, what can I say, I'll just stash everything! It's 60% now!!!

ShopHQ has always had that $99+ Most of the inventory (for jewelry) started at $100.00 anyway. They offer fine jewelry. I liked their gold. I shop at Gem Shopping. So I'm used to costs like that. The only part still online is thte ordering.

I loved this shopping channel when it was Valuevision and Shop NBC. I am grateful for all the beautiful jewelry I purchased then.

Gem Shopping is a fun channel to watch! I did purchase a couple of super nice Tanzanite rings from them last year, at unbeatable prices. Extremely happy with my purchases from there!

@Faceplacegirl

Oh no! I just purchased a nice diamond ring from Morris and David, around $185 with the 60% off. Could not resist! Now I need to stop myself!!

I watched Erin Newburgs podcast on YT and she had Melissa Miner on as a guest. It was the best podcast. Melissa Miner was telling a lot of good info about being on the show and who she loved working with. She did mention that especially in the beginning in the 90's it was very cut throat and everyone for themselves. They pretty much get paid on how many $ per minute things are selling.

She wasn't planning on retiring for two more years but she didn't like what they were planning to move forward. She wanted out. It was very interesting.

I watched the podcast too, Melissa was always one of my favorites. I remember most of the hosts she was talking about. The 90's and early 2000's were the best for shopping there.

My beautiful jewelry collection of gems and gold pieces is largely due to SHQ, then Shop NBC, their jewelry was top of the line.

Today they have $60 percent off if you purchase $99. When it was 40% and claiming "final markdowns" last weekend I ordered a Samuel B necklace silver necklace. It is in shipment. Trying to stop myself from ordering anything else. SamuelB was the only company I was really familiar with so I'm a little shy about taking a chance on items I can't return. This might be a good time to buy something gold though.

Today (Friday) is 70% off $99.

Re: SHOPHQ

Faceplacegirl — Fri, 02 May 2025 05:42:01 GMT

@Linmo I just saw it and ordered a bunch of Tahari beanies and gloves, what a deal! For Xmas presents woohoo.....70% total was $46 from $130...so happy!

The Shop HQ clearance sale is now up to 70% off.

Okay, I am just shopping for gold jewelry--no time to look at anything else.

I was hesitating about a few things yesterday, and some sizes and items sold out quickly. I purchased three items now--extreme bargains!!

I will certainly miss the variety and high quality jewelry they carried for so many years.

I wonder if some of their famous vendors will move elsewhere.
