Face Masks being sold on QVC

QVC - if you are really trying to help everyone, why aren’t you at least offering free shipping on these masks? People are in need, cant find masks or either can’t get out and search for them and you are charging shipping!!!’ Really???

They are price gouging too. 50 disposable masks for $49? No way. I bought two 2-layered cotton masks on Etsy for for less than $20 a couple of weeks ago. I bought a box of 100 disposable masks from Amazon for $11 last week and will share with my dad and a disabled sister.

Honestly, I don't think this is so bad. Have any of you priced these types of face masks and their availability? $1 per mask is actually a great deal, and they are backed by QVC's guarantee. Any other face mask out there is shipping directly from China and costs a lot more. And if you search most have arrivals dates of 4-6 weeks.

First, people BEG QVC to carry masks so they can easily order them, then they want them shipped FREE? QVC is not a charity like the Red Cross. It's a struggling business operating in the red. What nerve!

What's the item number of these masks and how quickly did they ship?

@Kachina624-Nice that the QVC finally brought in a real essential item. On QVC.com, there are banners promoting free shipping on Dooneys and Dyson products. If the Q is offering free shipping on those items and others which are non-essential, then free shipping should be included on the masks which are most certainly more essential at this time.

@qbetzforreal There's a much larger profit to be made on more expensive merchandise, so they can afford to be more generous. The items you mention may be vendor shipped and subsidized.

I don't know where you live so don't know the cost of living. I suppose masks could run $1 each in some areas and online.

I purchased a box of 100, same thing as Q sells, last week from Amazon for $11.00. I realize most retailers are price gouging masks and other products needed for the pandemic. But if you look around and monitor for a few days, you can find them for less.

The vendor that sold them to Q probably got them the same way other vendors got them. There sure doesn't appear to be any difference or Q would have touted that in their description.

You're breathing your own co2. Just get a scarf for the times you're shopping and it's required. Other than that, get out in the sun and enjoy your day. Build up your immunity.

Wonder where they are imported from?

LOTS of really cute masks on Etsy - and always quick ship & well priced since you're buying directly from the vendor.

But I 'd really like to see QVC get involved in Defense Production - most QVC products come from Asia, so you know QVC has production facilities/vendor relationships that could easily facilitate production of scarce PPE for our brave healthcare workers. Instead of making an Issac or D&C t-shirt make some of those paper scrubs/gowns!

@CalminHeart

could not find any $11 masks with 100 in a box on amazon. if you could provide the dealer name that would be helpful.

the best i could find was $39 for a set of 50 on amazon.....by PACLI. others were available but not shipping until mid to late june and into july. i did buy the masks from qvc also and they have already shipped. i was able to get a rebate on the qvc box also which pretty much covers the shipping fees.

These are not 11.98 but not much more and WAY better than 50.00 + 5.50 s&h + tax that qvc charges for 50 masks.

Amazon-they do not have item numbers but here is a description, these are 17.98 I believe.

"50 Pcs Disposable Medical Face 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐊 - Anti-Dust Filter, Breathable,Protection and Personal Health Professional, 3 Layers of Purifying, Cotton."

Hope this helps.

i did find this listing....thanks @LilMadi . the seller is showing as QinSH they are no longer $17.98

they range anywhere from $26 with shipping to $48.99 with free shipping.

the two cheapest sellers of these do not have good ratings.

I bought a box of 100 on April 5th for $11.00. I went to my order in Amazon and it's now out of stock. I did just a cursory check and didn't see it under another vendor. I had watched Amazon for a few days waiting for a better price and this option just showed up one day. I wish they had more for you. Darn.

If someone can afford to buy a $200 purse, they can afford the shipping. I agree, FREE shipping on masks to show support.

Re: Face Masks being sold on QVC

LilMadi — Fri, 01 May 2020 22:59:50 GMT

I bought them, got them for the low price and they are as good as any others that I have gotten or others people I know are using and better than some.

I see them on Amazon right now for $17.00 w/a 2 1/2 star review but if you read them, it's because it took long to get them. The ones who did get them, gave them 4-5 stars.

After looking on Amazon, Etsy, etc., I ordered them from QVC. I don't think 1.00 per mask is a bad price especially with their return policy if not to your liking. Several other sites had lousy reviews or were out of stock. I believe mine will be delivered toward the end of May but in the meantime, we are using dust masks my DH had. Reva

rotflmbo! QVC "struggling"? "operating in the red"? Are you kidding: They've probably got more money than the US Mint could ever print.

Thanks for the laugh
