Quacker Factory- Pricing

redhead65 — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:19:53 GMT

I don't really buy Quacker Factory but I watch the shows occassionally and know the line fairly well.

Don't you think the prices are going up rather steep lately? I saw tops that were casual, like tee's going for $ 50.00 or more.

I think of her clothes as casual and typically to go with jeans, leggings, shorts,etc.

She's not a designer like Goldstein, Mackie, or others, what's up with the pricing ?

I don't think it's just QF that has had a significant price increase, I think it's across the fashion board at the Q. Every line seems to be priced higher in recent months no matter their previous baseline. Definitely has made me curtail my spending here when SO many other places offer more deeply discounted sales and free shipping/returns.

I agree........I do buy a few of theQF tops that aren't real flashy and I like the quality. I can throw them in the washer on delicate and hang to dry and they look like new. I don't mind paying more for something I can wear that doesn't fall apart or fade.

Now that I am retired, I have to really like it...to buy.

Clothing items as well as others are really increasing in price on QVC. I'm not stupid and know where to buy elsewhere.

I haven't bought clothes from QVC for quite some time and it's not just due to pricing. I don't like any of the designers they have or the styles they show. Once in a while I might be interested in a Denim and Company item, but not very often.

I agree Sunshine Kate, plus so many retailers are having sales this time of the year and they are not clearance sales! Unless it is something I really want and cannot find it elsewhere, I will buy from the Q, but their prices have gone way up, IMO!

Also, most of the clothing items I see on the Q these days, are ugly or do not suit my lifestyle now that I am retired!

I guess summer is over at the Q now that July is here!

When in life have prices NOT gone up? QVC is not the Walmart of shopping channels; Evine holds that position. You'll find cheap stuff there. I actually shop here at QVC because the prices are so incredibly reasonable. Sometimes I just can't believe how great the prices are. Of course; if not for QVC, I would be shopping at Lord & Taylor, Bloomies, a little at Neiman Marcus. I'd be spending more than $50 for tops and more than $40 for the maxi dresses that I can't get enough of from QVC. .

I just saw an eyelet short sleeve camp shirt for $49.75. Then add $3.00 for shipping. I think that is outrageous for a mostly cotton shirt. Quacker is pricing me out of buying.

I saw and liked that shirt as well but with S&H plus tax it would cost me $57. And it was french terry - not even real denim, which would at least last forever. I sadly passed it by. sigh.

The quality is good for QF but the price is still not competitive. If I really liked the embellishment, I would pay extra. The tops are very blocky and long for me.

I think the pricing at the Q has gone through the roof and I see no rationalel reason for it. Today I went to JCP and bought 3 capri pants ,3 blouses and 1 tee shirt for $122.00. All of them were on sale and I got an extra 20% off. These were all new spring/summer items. One was a pair of capris with flowers embroidered on the side of the pants with frayed edges. They were originally $50.00, I paid $27.50 (this included the discount). These are really nice items for spring/summer. They were all in the petite section and fit perfect. The only item I buy from the Q is Carole Hochman pajamas. I love them because they come in petite and they are three piece.

Good on you, @elated. I've also done very well: got my purchases from Belk's today. I ordered two cotton/modal tops, and one pair of Capri's, all Petite's.

@I couldn't believe it - I loved everything and everything fit. I ordered @ the President's Day huge sale and got all three for $38.00! The Capri's were originally $44. and I got them for $5.99 with discounts and online coupons.

I wouldn't have been able to get ONE QF top for that. The Q isn't doing anything to pull sales in. Nothing new; no good prices. It's too bad.

Do you believe those "designers" design those things presented on the Q?

For me, there are only a few brands on QVC that are worth the cost...Quacker Factory is one of those. QF quality is excellent and holds up well over time.

Quacker Factory isn’t really my taste, but all those embellishments cost more to produce. I got the skirt and vest TSV set from a few years ago. It’s very well made and has washed and worn quite well. Mine is black and hasn’t really faded.
