Prices

I love it when the host says a tee shirt is ONLY $59.00, when you can buy the same shirt, same material on Amazon for $16.00 free shipping and free returns. I also find it interesting that they put and item up at full price and the next week its on clearence. I don't know how QVC and HSN can compete with Amazon and Walmart. I think their days are numbered.

@Spazy QVC's tees are very nice quality that will last for years. I'm not sure they're worth $59. but I bet they're A heck of a lot nicer than what Amazon sells for $16. I've been a victim of Amazon clothing sales and I'm not impressed. If that's what you want, go for it.

Just read a NYT article on Shein ( they have more subscribers than Amazon!!!). They have wedding dresses for $100 etc. Obviously this is fast fashion and made in China ( with all that goes with that) but the point is that there are many fashion options that are very affordable.

Maybe it feels more luxurious coming buying from the high class designers here, the live models and the friendly hosts who have your best shopping interests at heart. All that plus easy pay, why wouldn't you want to shop here?

@patbz But who wants to wear a $100 wedding dress or a $16 tee shirt except maybe to paint the house?

The Q has never claimed to be a "discount store"...

I bought something from Shein exactly one time. A shirt for $15. I should have known better--it went right in the trash. Zara is fast fashion to me. Shein is single use--maybe. 😹

I've purchase a few items from Amazon - they have been cheap and not really all that great. I have seen name brand items, like a Wrangler jacket - that was very reasonable. They do have a great return policy, I'll give them that!

There is a happy medium between QVC and more reasonable clothing. Lands End, and especially their sales can be an option. Not everything on Amazon is junk but you have to shop carefully. Free shipping and returns makes it risk free shopping. Target has some nice kids clothing.

@Kachina624 I purchase tee and sweaters listed as AMAZON ESSENTIALS. They're definiterly not the same as my beefy Isaac tees, but good for every day errands and the gym.

@Spazy

Amazon changes their prices DAILY.

And you do NOT get a sale price adjustment.

Totally unfair an item I ordered yesty is way cheaper today and they won't honor that price. NOT a company I like to deal with.

I do think QVC prices are high these days, but unfortunately, so are many of the retailers I shop from. The difference is that I can generally find coupons, sales and free shipping for items I want outside of QVC, making it a much better deal. Occasionally, I find a clearance item on QVC that makes buying it a good deal, but generally, I do better elsewhere.
