They just got a brand new CEO and they are going to revamp their entire programming, hosts and look. It was mentioned that they will have no more all day Invicta and watch marathons. They found that people would watch to get info and then buy elsewhere and they were providing free advertising for the brands and helping the other stores. They are going to develop their own exclusive brands. No more watch channel - YAY!!!!!

They have eliminated live programming overnight and have reduced some hosts to sidekick status. I wonder if they're keeping them around until their contracts expire.

My brother-in-law checks out the watch shows and buys elsewhere just as you said.

Oh yes, QVC does.

Re: Stumbled upon SHOP HQ...

I stumbled across this shopping channel last Nov while they were showcasing Madi Claire purses. I now have 3 MC purses. Love all three of them. Have been trying to buy a 4th. Waiting for it to go on sale (already have the same purse in a different color). Tuned in today to see a purse clearance show. The purse I wanted was included but the color had sold out Smiley Sad Guess it's just not meant to be. No tax and the shipping doesn't seem to be as high as QVC. They offer more value pays than QVC also.

Re: Stumbled upon SHOP HQ...

I have many pairs of ponte knit slacks from both KM and OSO casuals. Each w/a slightly different style and various colors. Love them!

I have a few Maxi dresses...One World tank-tops/hoodys...Skinn products and Isomers.

They often have value-pays and free S/H.

Although the sets look like they are filmed in someone's garage, I would rather pay for a quality product than at trip to "where-ever' and fancy sets.

And like HSN--they have REAL Clearance prices--look online! IMHO--give them a try...

One thing--Suzanne Somers sells her skincare there (which I haven't tried) and I sure wish she'd start selling her clothing again--especially her "Tissue-T" fabric!

Re: Stumbled upon SHOP HQ...

This was quite some time ago, but Shopnbc lost my business when I returned a ring that did not fit. Apparently it got to them a few days over the "return by" date and they sent the ring back to me! It was just a silver & amy ring with a worth of less than $50, and I had rarely returned anything before. I am glad to hear they will have new management, but I still have a bad taste for them. ( Has QVC ever done this to anyone?) I was so surprised, what a terrible way to treat a good customer over a piddly little sale! I had previously bought some pretty expensive jewelry from them!

You are right! I stand corrected. They always say on air (QVC and HSN) they will refund your purchase price, but they do refund shipping too. Im glad to see that.

This happened to me with ShopNBC years ago. I was a few days late. I've never had a problem with QVC and I'm sure I've been late returning to them too.

Re: Stumbled upon SHOP HQ...

I had heard of them and from time to time I would switch over to the channel. It seems as if they were always selling watches. I started calling them the "Watch Channel". A few nights ago I flipped by and they had their version of a TSV. It was a Madi Claire purse, which I have never heard of before, but I thought it was a cute purse. I made my first purchase.
