NEW REDUCED SHIPPING

izzy1 — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 14:36:07 GMT

I AM VERY PROUD OF QVC FOR REDUCING ITS SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS. I KNOW THIS CHARGE HAS STOPPED ME AND I AM SURE MANY OTHERS FROM PURCHASING A PRODUCT.

I AM GLAD QVC HAS TAKEN THE CUSTOMER INTO CONSIDERATION, I HOPE THIS PRACTICE CONTINUES. THANK YOU QVC.

I don't think it's permanent, but I applaud the effort and I will look for future reduced s/h promotions.

Lots of things are on reduced shipping $3-$5, until March 31st. Too bad it's not a permanent thing.

If it was a permanent reduction I would applaud their efforts but it looks like it won't last long....shipping keeps me from shopping, it's just to high!

I've backed out of may purchases once I get a look at the total ticket

his is a way to increase their first quarter sales and make their numbers look better to investors. Most likely, any annual raises go into effect after that date as well (also to make the numbers look better).

Good call.

The shipping stops me nearly every time.

Considering that is a big part of their profit, I doubt it will be meaningful.

HSN does it all the time...free or reduced shipping makes a huge difference.

I've done that many times. There are other sites offering better quality merchandise at a better price with low-cost or free shipping, so why wouldn't I back out?
