ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

AZAK — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 21:39:58 GMT

I see Jill Martin's newer (oversized) lounging top at $62+ with thumbhole on the wrong side, while Costco had one much superior for under $20! Listen QVC, this may be workable in the Eastern US but it doesn't fly in the West! You are KILLING your potential sales by inflating your prices while selling defective goods (and forgetabout your poor returns & quality control depts). Even LLBean (which is higher than the big box stores), would have better quality for lower prices than you do.

I check Q's website daily...others also and go into my Costco store 3 x's a week (for exercise), and can no longer find anything worth buying on your site.

@AZAK ITA it's gotten to the point of being ridiculous on their prices. As for JM as I have referenced in the past I don't like her or her stuff.

Thumbhole on the wrong side?? What's the item number please so I can take a look at that.

@AZAK when you stop shopping ( for whatever reason) at a brick and mortar store do you go into the store to announce your intentions? While you are always allowed your opinions why don't you write to corporate to tell them how you feel Telling me does nothing.

LOL. In her most sincere way, she'll try to convince us it's the latest thing, a little finger hole.

Janey - I DO (write to corporate) when quality / prices are out of line. Sadly, many don't seem to care enough to consider their lost sales, etc. Still finding many shoppers sharing these thoughts with one another (in stores especially), and that makes out "votes" count in the dollars spent.

Thank you @AZAK

So much for quality control. More like lack of it.

I purchased this TSV. Expressed myself numerous times about QVC's mediocre clothing quality; however, I gave this TSV 5 stars. Did you buy it so you could honestly compare it to Costco's. If you did, why did you buy it if everything is overpriced and lower quality?

The thumbhole on the left arm is OK. I can shift the sleeve a bit to use the right hand, but I don't like thumbholes so I folded up the sleeves.

I must differ with you about QVC sells nothing of quality. That is just not true. I had been very harsh with QVC in the past, but I had to look a little more closely. I had gotten some very nice things; however, there is a lot to be said about those items that were low quality and I returned. Also, I purchased some things at the lowest price after checking the internet.

Costco obviously, along with Sams, are able to get clothing items at lower prices, clothing other retailers can't get at those prices.

@AZAK

I read those reviews. Has Jill ever said anything that caused others to be offended? My word, some of the reviews are extremely harsh and unwarranted.

How about one saying the sherpa fabric reminded her of a dog with mange and shamed her for selling such a thing.

HA! I think the jacket is rather classy. While I don't like sherpa at all, I like this very soft fabric. Time will tell whether it holds up as I expect.

I'd rather stab myself than go to Costco.

I wonder who owns this line? Gilly was owned by QVC. The line is probably owned by Q and Martin works for Q as creative director for the line.

While the OP may think the Sherpa jacket currently on sale at Costco is superior I don't agree. I see a difference in style, patterns, and length. Difference that many may feel is worth the higher price. How wonderful that we have choices.

Love Costco and the great finds there.

I have never been to a Costco, and I have no idea what they sell, including clothes. But I do know cheaper clothes than QVC can be purchased anywhere, but that does NOT mean they are better!

I bought this top last year when it was still GILI, and I bought a few more for gifts. Although it is cozy and snuggly, I am a bit overwhelmed at the bulkiness of the design, and I find it quite huge. I think I like my clothes a little more fitted.

I do not know what is meant by "defective goods"--style designs are choices, not defects. LL Bean clothes are too country casual for me--I like a bit more high fashion city styles. I just looked at a pretty cashmere sweater at NM on sale for $400.00--I cannot remember the original price, but I cannot really say ANY clothes at QVC have inflated prices.

Did you see it in person? The sherpa jacket at COSTCO is EXCELLENT quality. A lot of their clothing items are made by REAL designers, and the prices are a LOT BETTER than the OVERPRICED clothing at QVC.

Even LLBean (which is higher than the big box stores), would have better quality for lower prices than you do.

The only thing I don't like about LLBean and Lands End is their catalogues--they're so confusing. But their merchandise is good quality and even though a bit pricey, usually woth it.
