Lock & Lock TSV?

So the product costs $20 and the shipping is $8...this is crazy. I thought of buying them, but I refuse to pay that shipping cost.

$28 plus tax for 5, count 'em, 5 bowls. Nope. I'd rather buy multiples of sizes that I might actually use. This comes down to a little over $6 per container.

It's actually 10 bowls with lids. You get both the square and rounded containers. I'm not crazy about the shipping and probably the main reason why I won't order them.

Nice set...but I wish it would have been a lower price and a choice of either the round OR the zen. We got a nice set of round L&L a few months ago bc we were starting to transition from all of our old, crazy looking containers to L&L. Maybe Chris will come back soon w/just the zen set. The tsv is nice if someone is just starting out and needs a big set.

20 bucks for 10 bowls & lids is very reasonable in my opinion. I mean sure you could probably get a set of 10 bowls/lids for less at a dollar store but they wouldn't have a silicone seal in each lid. Or come in this variety of colors. So it's all in what you're looking for. If you want to go rock-bottom cheap, then just use baggies for everything.

And $8 for shipping is not so exorbitant that it would play any role in my decision to buy or not. Most people drop 8 bucks easily day in and day out and don't think about it. On lunch, a can of coffee, Haagen-Dazs, etc.

I do not care for round or zen bowls....I much prefer square or rectangle...so much easier for storing in the cupboards and in the fridge/freezer.....so I won't be purchasing....

It's a great deal until S&H

It's a deal breaker for me also.

Oh I agree that $20 is a decent price for a set of these L&L containers. But PLEASE $8 for shipping????? Umm I never drop 8 bucks as easily as you say people do! Never! I only do free shipping when on-line shopping. Its free or I don't buy. Simple as that.

I was so excited about this TSV until I saw the shipping charge! So many places offer free shipping that I refuse to pay so much. Sorry QVC. Please rethink your shipping charges.

I think it's a great deal, but yes, the shipping is out of control.

I'm still considering the purchase though. I have a set of rectangular Lock & Locks -- I love them! They really come in handy. I like the fact that this TSV is a different shape and has some great colors. The ones I have are clear with clear lids (not purchased from QVC).

Rubbermaid seal just as well if you ""burp"" the container.

Shipping is disappointing. However, despite the lower gas prices, I heard that Fedex and UPS have raised corporate shipping rates. It's out of control.

I did order, because I plan to weed out my mongrel sets and the NESTING is so good I hate the tumbled mess in my cupboard. But the shipping cost was mean.

I ordered the yellow but the shipping is high. I did a check order so I have time to read the reviews and ponder.

Would love to have this set , but the shipping killed it for me. I wish every TSV - no matter what it is, had free s&h.

I'm just not going to pay this amount for shipping .

Your missing the point. Its the fact that QVC raised their S&H three times in 2014 with the last increase during the holiday season. In this day and age most places don't even charge S&H or if you spend a certain amount your not charged. QVC's S&H is outrageous plus they charge S&H for ever single item that you buy even if its three of the same thing in different colors. Charging $8.00 S&H for the TSV which is equal to 1/2 of price of the item is outrageous. S&H is a "profit" center for QVC and I'm certainly not going to continue to feed their greed!!!! I would rather put the $8.00 toward something else where I actually get something in return.

I only use glass food storage items. Plastic worries me, especially if they are made outside of the USA.
