Anyone ordering on "free ship" day?

gidgetgh — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 11:51:02 GMT

Anyone ordering anything today from QVC since they are offering free shipping today?

I can't think of anything to order right now.

Yes, I am way behind on my Christmas shopping so I will be working through my wish list (filled with gift ideas for family members) and ordering some items. I will probably get something just for me too!

I live in a rural area and work long hours so the time and money spent driving to crowded malls matters to me. Free shipping and handling is a major incentive. I am glad that I did not order earlier-the free shipping and handling day was a pleasant surprise. Thank you QVC for having this event on a Saturday! I am not working today and can actually take full advantage of the opportunity.

I noticed the prices of items I've been wanting went up!

Items in my Wish List and other products I've been tracking for awhile went from a reduced Featured or Sale Price to a higher QVC price. Some items disappeared from the website altogether!

It's not really free shipping if they increase the price, but I'll still look around. Disappointing though.

I did alot of on-line shopping elsewhere LAST weekend and on Cyber-Monday. QVC is bringing up the rear with this one.

Some of my ordered items also had overnight delivery and are now wrapped.

My Christmas cash is depleted.

It seems that many of the prices went up today. They went from the lower "Featured Price" to a regular price. Disappointing.

They have nothing that I want - free shippiing a little too late - should have done this cyber monday - plus raising prices doesn't surprise me.

I ordered the Lamo Boots that were a TSV a couple of days ago....with free shipping they are less expensive than they were as a TSV. Just a couple of bucks. All my other items from my wish list are gone in size and color. Happy shopping to all!

Yes. And luckily the item I've been waiting to order is a top find so the price did not rise.

I'm looking because in NJ the cost of shipping is added to the item total and taxed. I have not bought anything here yet. I did buy four Wen styling products from the Bay today- all better prices than the Q, all with free shipping.

QVC will gouge you on the return shipping charge if you have to return.

Oh well.

Too late for me. My shopping is done. I assumed they would raise the prices in order to accommodate the "free shipping". QVC is not known for its generosity!

Probably not. I don't plan to try to find something to buy.

I won't usually pay full price for things simply because of free shipping. Definitely not going to be conned into paying more.

Yes, a D&C top that has been in my wish list for along time. It's on sale so even if I don't like it, I'll donate it since it was only $10.

Not yet, but one never knows. We'll see what's on today.

I don't know yet. I haven't really looked at my Wish List yet.

If they raised prices to offer free shipping, I won't buy anything.

Shopper gone wild here! Lock & lock is the same price and with saving $5.50 shipping per set, this is the time for me to strike as I have 2 diff. sets on my wish list. Also a Farberware cookware set ($7.50 s&h) will be on its way soon, well, sooner or later and adding the Philosophy olive oil scrub and a linea whisper knit sweater, which show the same prices as before this free s&h promo.

My way of keeping track of QVC prices is to add things to my wish list with the item price/s&h in the notes section, which of course many of you folks already know to do.

All my Linea whisper knit sweaters, the Ryka clogs, and my ED on Air Chirstmas stuff and throws have been free s&h. The top items from my wish list at the Q are cleared our. I aboslutely abhore their "normal" s&h charges and usually end up on Amazon or whatever website offers free s&h and a decent percent off. Eddie B was good this week and I found knit hats for 40 or 50% off and free s&h.

My gift closet is full. Sweet! And I wish you all a safe and lovely weekend, and happy holidays if they are on your wish list.

I DID get something after all!

- The one thing I do regularly is check out Lunchtime Specials. I got this Isaac Mizrahi Live! Paisley Border Print Cardigan in Deep Burgundy (A271580).

I have a few IM cardigans and get lots of compliments on them. The quality is good & I have gotten good deals on all of them.

- The QVC site was awful, very slow, had to close/go to site a few times before I was able to order. Had to wait & wait. The cardigan showed completely sold out at first on the site but available on the app. My size was available, then showed sold out on the app, and then available and I ordered before it changed its mind again. I did use Mr. Rebates for that wonderful 1% back - 23 cents!

These are some items that looked really good to me in the clearance section.

Cuddl Duds Boot Slippers $15

Malden Mills Polar Flleece Sheet Set $20

I am not sure if I am ordering yet, but they look like good deals.

i am not one who really cares about the free shipping.

i am a regular qvc buyer andi generally look at the overall price, including shipping, to determine whether or not it is worth it to me.

i would rather have seen something like 20% off your entire purchase OR 30% off a single item. something like that would have had more impact on my purchases today.

i could have sworn they have done this before.

I ordered the Kuerig TSV for tomorrow w free shipping today. Without the free shipping I was purchasing from another site.
