Prices on QF and Denim&Co

littleminx — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 21:52:06 GMT

I recently taped and watched several of these two shows and was literally taken aback at the high prices! Oh my goodness, no longer at all budget friendly even for a tee and some look so dowdy! What ever happened? Isaac M’s prices are almost reasonable I’m comparison.

I agree with you.

I buy IM, Lisa Rinna, Kim/Belle and Renee/Attitude. I always buy when the price on their items are reduced. I've never paid over $40 for a single item.

I refuse to buy from D&C or QF anymore. They are way over priced for what they are offering.

I agree the prices are at an all time high, I have to be sure the item I want won't go on sale for me to pay full price. I've said this many times before, the Q does not have the bargains they used to

@jnb0903 Keep in mind that the price of cotton has soared and most clothing is manufactured in China. We are now subsidizing tariffs on good imported from that country, which includes clothing. I also refuse to subsidize Lisa Rinn

True about the cotton prices.

I've noticed some folks seem to not care for LR but never really asked why. I figure she just has a personality that rubs people the wrong way?

@jnb0903 Here is some info about the tariffs...clothing from China.

@Susan Louise

I read the article and I will re-read it after supper.

I know a lot of people have mentioned tariffs and higher cost. What I don't understand is, if the tariff makes everything so much more expensive, why not move back over to making it here in America?

If QF was made in the USA and the price stayed around the higher end that they are at now, would people be more willing to pay that higher price?

It's certainly interesting but isn't IM, Attitude/Renee, etc.. also made in China? If so, then how are they besting the prices of QF and D&C?

Thanks for sharing that article and that website! I'll be saving it to read through. ☺️

@jnb0903. Most people base their opinions of her based on her obscene posts on social media, especially those describing certain women who are not a thin as she is. She has a filthy mouth.

Oohh. That's not good! I don't use Facebook so I didn't know.

I'll have to check it out.

I remembered her from way back in the day as Billie on Dool! Lol

I don't really care about the Hollywood stuff or reality shows so never knew much about her.

@Susan Louise Thanks for posting this article, which I have not seen. I expected more manufacturing to shift to other countries but it doesn't seem to have happened. It would take years to build facilities and train a work force to do that work in the US since neither now exists.

I agree the prices have gone up considerably over the past few years for Denim &Co. and QF. But I don’t feel like IM or any of the other clothing lines on the Q have budget friendly prices (unless I’m looking at the wrong items). I saw several items on Kim Gavel’s show this afternoon that I liked but her items are higher priced.

Regardless of the price of cotton and tariffs hurting our pocketbooks, these prices have gotten out of hand. Plus, there is no discounted shipping anymore. I am in need of some everyday tees, but, the prices combined with shipping are just too much.

@grandma r You can't just ignore tariffs...they do increase prices on imported goods. I gave a link with info in my post #6 in this thread.

And make a note...Sunday will be a QVC FREE S&H day

Check Ebay-There are sellers who sell new QVC fashions for very low prices.

Re tariffs -- then why can I get the Karen Scott brand for tops at Macy's for under $15? They are cotton/poly just like a lot of D&C is and are made in China. IMO the tariff situation is just an excuse for the Q to charge outrageous prices for simple items that they rarely put on any sort of decent sale like other vendors do.

@grandma r. QVC depends heavily on profits from shipping to balance the books. Sometimes it has made the difference between operating in the black as opposed to being in the red. They can't afford much free anything. HSN was very generous with freebies and was in serious financial trouble when the new management took over. Apparently their CEO was just a girl who couldn't say "no".

It is up to each person to decide when and how to shop.I rarely buy clothes from QVC because of their sizing inconsistancy and the cost of returns. i never have that problem with Land's End and LL Bean. Even people with physical disabilities can shop online and comparison price. Even if I had a boatload of money, I would comparison shop unless the item was unique. QVC tries to make you think their items are better made, would be worth more"add a 1 in front of that price." That pitch does not work on me. No one is forced to pay $60-$80 for a simple top made from polyester aka microfiber.

@SharkE That shirt you referenced is made of lyocel which is rayon. Remember years ago when you washed rayon it shrank and was all wrinkled? Hope it's better than that at $114.
