Ever notice this.........

I have noticed this for a while now....when there is a OTO value......the shipping seems to be jacked up. So you get a break on the cost and shipping is increased. I am sure "handling" is factored into the shipping costs. QVC has the highest of all shopping networks that I have seen. I cannot believe with the volume done that the savings are not passed on. So okay once in a while there will be free shipping...........not often.

I just ordered one, a long sleeve tee, shipping was $5.72.

That actually seems low for what they've charged me on other things.

I just really noticed it today when they had on an Isaac top as the OTO and the shipping was $6.72. I think that is very high and I have noticed in previous items.

I believe I bought a bracelet that was the size of dental floss and the shipping was $5.00 and something. The cost can't have to do with the weight or the size..........not sure how it is calculated.

I usually find S&H charges to be higher at several sites like Sundance and Soft Surroundings. I've backed out of several purchases at those sites.

I've noticed in some catalog companies, the shipping cost is tied to the price of the item. For instance, $50-$100= $5.00 /$100-$175=$7.00. I made up these prices but that's the way it works. I have even called about an expensive but very light weight item and asked about free S&H but the answer is no. I choose where those things are free like Nordstrom and NM
