PRICING ON FASHIONS AND SHOES LATELY...

redhead65 — Tue, 18 Aug 2015 23:24:56 GMT

Have you recently picked up on the increase in prices on fashion and shoes of late? It seems like now that we are half way through August and facing fall, everything has suddently increased a great deal in the past few weeks.

I'm seeing the same typical shoes but now they are between $ $ 110.00-$150.00 per pair. Not boots, just shoes.

Sweaters and blouses now are going over $ 75.00-$120.00 or more each and so forth.

Isaac M. and Lori G. are really increasing prices for fall, and Susan Graver is beginning to do it.

Let's not even discuss handbags !

Where will it end? If we are willing to buy them, they will increase pricing.

We need to do something to stop it. A casual top and bottom is over $ 100.00-$140.00, not counting shoes, bag, and accessories.

I simple can't and/or won't buy these items. It's just too much money.

Seems like every company is trying to outdo the other.

Enough is enough!

The only way it will stop is if/when the sales decline to the point that they have to reduce prices to move the merchandise or go out of business.

I refuse to pay the high prices for clothing that really isn't designer label any more than the names on the racks at Kohl's, Macy's, JCP and other local B&M stores. As for shoes, won't pay top $ for QVC store brand such as GILI and I can get the other brands they sell for the same or lower prices locally and have it immediately.

I agree the brick and motar stores are looking much better especially with their sales and coupons and no shipping or return quipping chargers

I can't help but notice how the cost of leather clothing, shoes, and boots are getting quite steep. I even see higher prices for the "leather-like" items. Kind of discouraging to me, but I look more closely at places like E-bay.

I don't buy clothing, purses, or shoes on QVC. Way overpriced, especially for SG cheap polyester items. I do very well at B&M stores, especially Macy's. This past weekend, I bought a pair of BORN black leather ankle boots for $20, using coupons.

QVC prices are too high. I haven't bought any clothing items in a long time and I probably won't in the future. S&H prices are to high too.

Ebay is, most times, excellent for just about everything.

Between them, Amazon and Walmart, I'm all set and very thankful.

I do shop at other places, but those three really rock.

I think QVC's prices are too high for the quality of their clothing and jewelry.

Not for everyone.

And never for me, LOL.

It pays to always do your research (I can't afford not to!) for the lowest prices and best vendors to buy from, including online.

Comparison-shop the heck out of everything! 8)

The prices have risen dramatically recently. I know brands like Denim & Co have been around a long time, so obviously prices arent going to be the same, but the basic pull-on pants have gone from around $15-18 to around $35. They just arent worth that price, plus the inconstency in sizing generally is terrible. I always look at the sizing chart online, but still find items are too big or too small. The Q is obviously looking at profit first nowadays!!

I shop elsewhere. Items coming out of China and they are way overpriced.

Any here ever learn about Spinerettes? About the petoleum based colors and liquids to make polyester - it costs pennies and I mean pennies to make yards of polyester. So why the criminal mark ups for the average looking clothing?

chessylady — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:05:31 GMT

The markups are because you are getting "QVC's exclusive designer who goes to London and Paris to bring back the latest styles." I don't wear polyester clothing even when it's called microfiber.

You are really not getting a bargin on clothing and shoes at the Q any more, I think what keeps people coming back is the easy pay and being able to shop from home, also the liberal return policy. I would not shop at the Q if these policies were discontinued.

It's not just the Q's pricing though. I've noticed higher prices for clothes at Soft Surroundings, Chico's and JJill's, too. At my small local Macy's it seems like the quality has gone down.

@tansy

I LOVE Talbots but rarely buy anything unless it's on sale or some type of promotion.

Most of the shoe sites offer free s/h and returns.

Q has a lot of competition and needs to listen to their customers. The last few items I've bought from HSN and Evine were free s/h.

I agree. I can buy the same or better quality at Kohl's. With coupons, discounts, etc, I can do that at Walmart prices.

Some of their better quality things I like are, Skechers, Jockey, Olga, and Gold Toe socks.

They also carry some One World items (popular casual line on Evine) and Dana Buchman leather bags are nice.

If I need something higher end, I like Dillards sales.

I've seen a lot of the brands the Q sells at good Will and local thrift stores. I'm not really impressed with their quality or "style" which is kind of dowdy for the most part imo.

I can see people who cannot get out to malls being their biggest customers.

Give me Target any day.

@tansy ita. everything is more expensive now and my macy's the quality has gone downhill.

even groceries are expensive as all get out here.

Almost all their clothing had a price increase to account for the lower shipping. The push to get the Q card and have easy pay is the other tactic to get the customer to bite. It is my responsibility to make good choices and not let sales hype influence me. However, i have noticed that when all the fast talking starts, some hosts have stated the price as the one easy pay amount without saying "on easy pay" or as the "get it home and try it" price, which they were careful to do in the past. It is especially noticeable when I am not watching the screen but just listening. It has happened too frequently to overlook as a misspoken one off. Please QVC, retain your integrity.
