Almost $11.00 for the privilege to try-on an item is no longer worth it to me.
SO many other sites give their cutomers free returns and other perks.
Do you feel the same way as I do?

No, because I figure the cost of the possible return into the total...if I think it's too expensive, I don't buy the item.

No. I rather pay $11 then drive from store to store, looking for parking spots, walking through a large mall only to not find what I want. I just click my mouse and I'm done. A lot easier even if it costs me money.

Yes, definitely and that is why I only buy if I'm 99.9% sure of keeping the item and only if the price is under $30 so if I don't like it, I just donate it. $11 is ridiculous. So many sites with at least free shipping to receive the item.
From what I read on these forums I can't imagine what some pay in shipping charges!!!
@Winkk No need to go to any store. All retailers have their own websites.

Nope. I know the deal before I order so it's up to me to accept it or not. Nobody's twisting my arm.

It does influence me, and now that PayPal no longer offers "Return Shipping on Us", I tend to only order clothing items from QVC that I'm fairly certain will fit and that I will like.
Other than that, I shop in store or with retailers who offer free shipping. And I price compare, so it's the overall price I go by.
I stopped buying shoes from QVC years ago, when I ordered two pairs of Clark's sandals (that I had tried on at a Clark's store, so I knew the size).
When they arrived, they were so big that they must've been two sizes larger than what I ordered. Even though I returned them as defective (or mismarked), I was charged for the return shipping for both. (I realized there was a reason QVC had a better price - they must've been mass produced for the TSV, with no attention to quality.)
Those and a pair of Rykas that were so small (despite ordering my normal 7 1/2), that I ended up giving them to my sister-in-law who wore 5 1/2. Better than wasting the return shipping on those.
Thankfully, I don't return much.

Unless I really want an item, I usually pass and go elsewhere. I can't tell you how many times I've passed on shoes at qvc. Too risky and very likely a return for me.

Exactly why I rarely order clothing or anything else unless I'm nearly certain that I will keep it.
