Use return label or not?

50Mickey — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 21:36:17 GMT

I haven't bought clothes from QVC in years. But for some reason I bit on a Denim and Company shirt A275870 recently. it is huge, shapeless and ugly. My husband actually laughed when I tried it on. i should have read the reviews. So I'll have to pay the S&H to return. it. Is it less expensive to use the return label or take it to the PO and use a priority envelope? Either way it's probably not worth returning to get back the price of the shirt minus S&H costs to receive it and to return it. Maybe I'll donate it and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

@50Mickey. Its almost always cheaper to use the Q shipping label plus you can go online and request a pick up from the USPS if you use the label, saving yourself a trip to the post office.

If it is an expensive item to return I use the label, otherwise I put it back in the package I received it in and pay my own postage. For me it has been less expensive.

I always use the Q label because it is not worth the hassle of getting your own postage. You won't save much IF you save anything and it is too easy to use the prepaid.

I always used to use my own postage. It was always less. Now I can't seem to get a better price so I just use the label.

I think that's a cute top (unlss it needs ironing, of course). Is it possible you ordered a size too large? Maybe it would shrink in the wash and fit you better.

I usually return things no matter what they cost and just "eat" the return fee. The thrift shops are so swamped with stuff now that things won't find their way onto the shop's shelves for years.

I rarely return anything but it is cheaper to mail it yourself. I just use the label and the mail person picks it up at my house. I never get a return receipt and I've never had an issue.

I totally agree with @Kachina624

I ordered a Belle blazer during free shipping. It didn't look good on me.

The return label was $6.95.

I figured I'd save a buck or two...NOPE

Cost me $8.85 AND I only got the $50 insurance...it would have been even MORE if I purchased the correct additional amount of insurance.

HOWEVER, it does get there 10x faster than using the label.

I sent a very ordinary size ring back to HSN and with $50 insurance, it cost over $6., plus a trip to the post office and a long wait in line. I don't know how anyone can say they save money by mailing it themselves unless they don't insure it which, with the USPS, is risky as heck.

@50Mickey , if you paid via Paypal you can request a refund of the return s/h. If that is the case, I would pay the s/h myself. It is a complete PITA to get a refund from PP when you use the Q return label.

You get your refund faster using the prepaid label. Not that the Q does anything fast but they are better with their own label because they just scan it and open it later.

I think you have fewer headaches using the Q return label.

I don’t return much, but when I do I always use the QVC return label. Easier & quicker for me.

For the few items I return, I find it more convenient to use QVC's prepaid return label. The cost of shipping has risen so much that whether you use USPS, UPS, or any other service, I can't think of anything heavier than a makeup compact that would have an insured postage cost less than or not much more than $7.00. Furthermore, by using QVC"s label as soon as it's scanned by the carrier picking it up, or you take it into a shipping facility and it over to a counter person, once it is scanned, QVC's system records that the package is en route as a return. If it doesn't arrive QVC takes the responsibility of dealing with the carrier locating it. There is no delay in processing your refund in this situation. The only hitch in the system would be for people who opt to send more than one return in the same package. In that case, the scanning validation system is broken and you will have delays in processing the returns and issuing the refunds when the package arrives at QVC's warehouse.

I always pay with PayPal and if I need to do a return, I do not use the QVC label. I Pay at the PO and get a receipt. I photograph the receipt and send it to iPayPal and they return my shipping fee.

PayPal allows 12 transactions in a year and will pay up to $30 for each return fee. You have to sign up for this service on their website.

People who use the label have been complaining that they are having problems getting their postage reimbursed by PayPal.

I haven't paid to return anything for years. My DH had to return a large, heavy car part. PayPal reimbursed us almost $27 to return that one item.
