Eliminate This Show Only pricing?

Mustang Shar — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 01:50:51 GMT

For those of us that DVR our favorite shows ( fashion for me), I always miss out on the special pricing for the show . Couldn't we have that special price as a Today Only instead? Every few dollars saved helps.

Hi @Mustang Shar - I too DVR most of the shows that are of interest to me Don't have the time to watch much 'live'

I'm sure they are doing this to see how effective this limited pricing strategy is to draw shoppers to watch shows and shop specific items within a certain timeframe. It most likely creates more sales bc of the sense of urgency they create by promoting a limited price plus upsell or coordinating items that someone might purchase.

It definitely locks out you and me and others that do what we do

I wonder about the '30 day price guarantee' and why can't we ask the moderators or CS to process our orders with the lower 'limited' price as long as it's within 30 days? Or if they can't process with the lower price, process with the regular price and issue a credit. Anyone know???

Am tired of these types of sales tactics along with unannounced free shipping days.

I don't think they should be reairing the shows with limited sales prices. It is just a tactic that , if you check elsewhere you may find the item at a lower price and free shipping.

I am a long time QVC shopper and never in my 30 plus years of shopping have I seen this much price juggling with this much frequency. If I see something with a special price that I want but for whatever reason hold back from buying, then I won't buy it at all. With QVC it's strike while the iron is hot or forget about it. There are two tops, for example, from Graver and Mizrahi, that I already own bought in November,and like them so much that I wanted more of the same in different colors. Each time I look, the cost is a different amount, never as low as the deal I got, but fluctuating by odd amounts, like one day 72.00, then 67.50, then 71.25, then 64.00, then higher again, etc. I don't get the logic.

@Mustang Shar

There is NO need to eliminate it.

Just because you DVR, doesn't mean you have to miss out.

Just Search

One time only special pricing

One show only special pricing

One day only special pricing

All the 'specials' scheduled come up.

I check it out every morning.

I do the same daily check as @RespectLife; however, there are times when some shows have deals that really do only begin when the show begins (for example, it seems they often do not feature all the one-time deals in searches in advance of ITKWD airing). And you actually only need to type "today only price" or "one time only price" (no quotation marks needed)—that will bring up all the available specials with few to no items that just have the word "day" in their titles.

Just thought I'd return to this thread to talk about the One Time Only price again: This morning, I did my usual search for that phrase, and two Susan Graver tops were the only items listed. However, as soon as we hit noon ET when ITKWD and a D&C show started, a set of potstickers and a D&C top suddenly got added to the list. We'll see if those prices disappear again when the associated shows end, or if they were simply a kickoff point and the prices might hang around a bit...

UPDATE: I checked again an hour after the shows concluded, and the One Time Only list was down to just the Susan Graver tops again. However, the potstickers sold out during ITKWD, so they wouldn't have been in the list again anyway.

Stuff happens. While I can't imagine recording QVC, you have to know that prices might change before you view it. It's life.

I got stuck with a top at full price that had been on lunch time specials. They rarely go all the way back up, just the one I wanted. Then there are the cancelled orders that got shipped. I also play dangerous games with waitlist, ordering two different things that both get shipped on the same day. It is exasperating shopping here, I'll tell ya'.

Gee, I didn't know that we could look up various (special) priced items.

Thanks for the alert.

It is what it is and our choice seems to be to take it or leave it but this, along with so many of QVC's other strategies to move the goods, has grown incredibly stale.

@Mustang Shar @This is a sales strategy to create a sense of urgency to buyers. It increases sales.

I like to record Leah Williams Style show on Saturday mornings because I live in the Pacific time zone and don't want to get up at 4:00 a.m. Because of this, I miss the "This Show Only" deal. Twice in the last few weeks I would have bought those items ( Isaac's pima cotton shirts.) Because of this, I canceled the timer to record this show.

Common sense tells us that deals in live shows that are watched later may not remain available. Watching a recorded show is like a rerun. It's not a current show, thus not all deals will be available.

I agree with California. QVC should allow 3-4 extra hours out of respect for them. Personally, I think it should be for the entire day. I have bought an article of clothing and the next morning it is a OTO. My bad luck. But I’m starting to prefer Macy’s where sales go on fur several days or a week. My Macy’s is so well stocked now I love it. Plus returns are credited immediately.
