Was Channel Surfing-Evine

Was channel surfing and never knew we had this channel. Not too impressed though. Read some posts on here about it. Their prices seem comprable to the Q's. Maybe I will check on it again sometime. It appeared to me as being a low budget shopping channel.

I've gotten some good stuff there over the years.

Back when it was ValueVision they had THE best fine jewelry by far but, sadly, they've followed with the rest and sell mostly costume now.

I don't buy across all the categories. 50% of the time it's watches. I don't wear watches but there must be a lot of people who wear armloads of watches, for how often they are selling them.

I've purchased numerous Waterford items there and a few kitchen/food items.

I formed the same impression as you.

Evine has nice linens Waterford, Marquis by Waterford, Brooks Brothers, Todd English and Consulte beaute (Botched doctor and real housewife/orange county spouse).

Depends on what interests people. I only buy Borghese skincare products from them as their prices beat the dept. stores.

One thing in their favor, all clearance items this past weekend had FREE s/h. Hear that QVC?

Their jewelry items are quite pricey. I don't like that they charge high shipping fees and of course, they are not included in your refund if you should have to return the item. They even ship several items in one package, but still charge a $6.99 shipping fee on EACH item. Also, if you have to exchange for the same item in another size, they charge you again for shipping the exchange to you. I quit them a long time ago for these reasons.

MGM - I've also purchased some great linens there. I like a mid-range (400-800 thread count) Egyptian cotton sheet. I have several sets from them that have been really great.

I don't dare buy their jewelry! A lot of it is set in mystery metal and the stones are semi precious but they charge, $$$$$ for it. No thanks!

Yep, Value Vision had THE BEST jewelry. I still call it Value Vision. I wish.

I watch it sometimes just to "window shop." The hosts seem more mellow and easier to listen to.

I've been doing more and more shopping from them. The one thing about Evine is they do deep clearance sales. I never pay full price for anything and rarely will buy a today's top value because it always ends up being priced much cheaper down the road. They reduce often and quickly.

It also pays to have the evine credit card because on a fairly regular basis they do free s/h for cardholders.

I forgot to mention the Beekman Boys. They're fabulous and their products are awesome.

I agree. I buy Borghese from Evine. Love the masks and Evine has some greaqt deals.

I also like the North Shore Living linens and Waterford crystal. I haven't had huge success with their fashions. I haven't tried too many, but of the One World, Kate and Mallory and OSO,,,OSO Casuals are the only pieces I still have in my closet.

I just bought their special last week. I don't know what they call their daily value. I liked the presentation and I hope their products are awsome too. BTW the baby goat are too cute.

I LOVE purchasing their perfumes. Huge variety and so many expensive ones that I can buy on easy pay.

I buy alot from Evine, their Isomers and Skinn cosmetics and skin care really work for my 65 yr.old skin. I just got a big order from the Beekman's and I splurged and bought the Kooba leather back pack and it's fabulous. I prefer their hosts because they are not phoney or brag like the Q's hosts do. I don't know why the Q's hosts feel they have to try and impress the customers by telling us about their trips and their kids accomplishments. Their personal lives are none of my business and I really don't care to hear about it, I purposely will not buy from a host like that.

I have been checking out EVINE more and more. I havent bought anything yet, but I like a lot of their clothing, It is inexpensive and so is the shipping, so I might be buying something soon.

Where are you finding mystery metal? I've purchased tons of beautiful jewelry on Evine Live and never came across mystery metal at all.
