Does anyone else feel that return costs are getting higher all the time? I just returned something last week ( To HSN ) and checked today to see the refund status. It was almost $8 for a light weight small item. Im getting to the point of disliking ordering anything from any shopping channel due to return costs if it needs to be sent back!

Yes! I just returned a Judith Ripka ring and the smart label was over $11.00! I called customer service and she said that items, like Judith’s, will be expensive to send back, that’s the last time I buy JR.

I returned an item and paid for it up front. The shipping was $2.45. If I had used the prepaid label, it would have been $6.95. Plus, the package was received at QVC in three days.

If you insure the package for what it's worth, it indeed is more expensive that using the Q label.

@blackhole99...I was sending it by slow boat.....the dress was fairly heavy, (liquid knit) cute dress, just didn't work for me.

On this topic : postage rates in general are outrageous!

I sent my sister a fun package for Easter. 4 packages of "cotton candy' peeps.

I'm sure you know the size of the boxes of peeps they fit perfectly in small box with little bit of easter grass & note. That box weighed less than 1 lb. but was priced on box size. I was shocked regular 1st class mail (not priority) cost me $13.95!!!!

After doing the math, most the time the Q or HSN pre-paid labels are cheaper . Sometimes I take to post office to get actual price then mail cheapest way with appropriate label.

I am very careful not to buy "impulsively" from Q especially because between the shipping & return charges can sometimes be over $10 or more😳 just to "try on". I ordered sketchers awhile ago ordered my size - too small but next size would be too big. Q would not give me credit for $6.95 return fee nor orig shipping so in this instance $13 wasted😤.

I'm thinking Q (and HSN) make big $$$$ on these fees!!!

I have decided that it is too expensive to shop at the shopping channels. I am not getting any more clothes or shoes. I am always dissapointed and have to return. I may order cosmetics or skin care because I can go to ulta or sephora and check it out before I order from the Q. If I did order something it would have to be free shipping so I only have to pay one way.
