Cyber Monday Sham

Jeaane — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:23:15 GMT

I have ordered Mrs. Prindables gourmet apples 10 piece holiday set for the past three or four years. This year I decided to order on Cyber Monday to get a good deal and much to my surprise, there was only a $2.75 savings. So disappointed.

So where's the sham?

Why would anyone think all retailers should have any Cyber Monday deals?

@Jeaane - There's no requirement for any product to be offered at any special sale or reduced price at any time, and it sounds like there was at least some kind of discount, so it seems pointless to complain about the amount. I recommend ordering during Christmas in July instead; we order that way every year and get great deals. We've been enjoying our apples all week.

Wait till you see an item where the price increased for holiday shopping.

Browsed earrings that went up in price by $70. I always view the presentation video either here or on YT. They're eye opening.

@Jeaane You need to look up the definition of the word "sham." This ain't it!

Well it was a small savings at least. I wouldn't expect 60% off from QVC on food.

If we are looking at the same item, the 10 piece Holiday set of apples was the TSV a couple of weeks ago and was $59.95.

They pointed out again and again that this would be the last TSV of the year and the lowest price of the season for these apples.

They are on sale today for $62.98 (Regular price $73.00)...that's a savings of $10.02.

You can also get 10% off if you use a Qcard.

Also, there are many rebate sites that give you cash back.

Rakuten is 15% off today.

With all the discounts that could be used, they are actually cheaper today.

Not a sham/scam by no means.

sham. : something that is false, deceptive, misleading, or otherwise not genuine. sham. adjective. : not genuine : intended to mislead or deceive : false, illusory.

@Jeaane. If you knew the price when you placed the order, how is that a sham? A savvy shopper would have compared prices with other merchants.

If you can afford to pay $6+ for an apple then I should think you shouldn't be saying you've been shammed, especially when you saved $2.75 by ordering today.

@SaveTheTurtles It's clear she doesn't know what the word means.

@Jeaane

I think the sham is that they're not even close to the same quality as when they first came on the Q.

A sham is a thing that is not what it is purported to be. Sham is correct here.

These griping newbies come here to complain about how mistreated they are but they never come back to answer questions or to participate in their own thread.
