Sales tactics-

Tinkerbell3 — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 02:42:12 GMT

Purchased a SilverFine wide bangle bracelet on Easy Does it Day because the host repeatedly stated that "featured prices are special and this is the LAST DAY at this price"- Hmm...

YES, it was the LAST day at that price because the very next day, the item went on clearance- So, instead of the $129 price tag....it is now $109- m(not my definition of a CLEARANCE sale - $20 bucks off. But still.............not an honest presentation!!!)

Call Customer Service and request a price adjustment. If they won't make the adjustment, send it back. You are well within the 30 days.

If you like it, order it again and send the first one back. Even with the cost of mailing you will come out ahead. I agree this doesn't seem right by QVC but it's how they choose to do business.

I've had this happen several times. I called customer service and they ""happily"" gave me the reduced price.

Yes, they should give you a reduced price if you call customer service. In QVC's defense, I am sure they were hoping what they had left would sell out. Give yourself kudos for seeing the clearance price at all. I am sure many that bought it missed that. I once called on a clearance item I saw after I purchased it. But customer service would not give me the clearance price because it went on clearance 31 days after I bought it, so I missed it by one day.

Don't worry about a price adjustment - CS will take care of it. I have had a similar thing happen and the price adjustment was easily taken care of.

The host may not have known what the price was going to be the following day .... just call CS and they'll make a price adjustment. No big deal.
