Hidden prices

Please return to showing prices, sizes, and info on the screen when showing a product. This is very irritating, and has prohibited me from buying items. Bad move QVC!

@Debjoey. I could tell you how many garments ive passed on because there are no measurements listed. I often am in the bedroom where I have no computer.

@Kachina624
I don't think you should have to be inconvenienced to have to check prices/sizes and other pertinent info when you're watching a presentation. That's what those hosts get paid those big bucks for so they can take those nice vacations to Europe and Dizzyland every week for. I figure if I have to do all that work myself I'm gonna see if I can find it cheaper and with free shipping!
8 out of 10 times I can find it on Amazon or eBay cheaper or with free shipping or next day shipping.

When presenting food, they often fail to tell you how many ounces are in a jar of nuts, candy, etc.. I've heard the salespeople say 'you get a lot.' That means nothing to me. I need to know how many ounces there are. I shouldn't have to go online to get that information. They should be forthcoming. If I don't have all the information...NO SALE.

I feel the same. I'm not always using my tablet when a I watch. I noticed this but did not realize an on going thing. I don't watch often any more and just noticed this the other day. I thought it was just a mess up on the item I was watching.

Funny how I am getting more and more away from the Q. I like the forums.

Yet one more reason I purchase from HSN more and more often.

Hosts would have to give up telling personal stories and useless chit-chat to have time to give pertinent product details.

So true @CalminHeart . How awful not to have the personal family stories.

Seriously! Bring the prices back. Q you are making it harder for buyers to buy, Bad decision.

It is definitely frustrating when key item details are not provided during a presentation, and that happens far too often, but I've never seen any item presented without a price. Whether I'm watching online or on TV, they always post both the total price and Easy Pay pricing, and it is rare for a host to not mention something about the price—even if it's an annoying pet phrase like "$20 bill alert" or "well under $X" (when the latter is typically just a few pennies below the $X mark).

Customers are responsible for knowing what something costs. While Q's way is sneaky (in my book), customers still see the total cost before clicking the final button to buy.

And let's be real. Everyone knows easy pay isn't the full price. Everyone knows tax and shipping will be added to the price.

We must always remember corporations will do anything, say anything, finagle anything, for sales. We have to pay attention.
