Great insight into oneself. I can relate. Well done.

Definitely watch much less than I used to.  Today I occasionally click on to check out TSV or whatever but rarely keep on for more than 10 minutes.  I made one purchase because of email this holiday season and happy I did.  It was a product I would not have known about otherwise.  Other items I was tempted but turned off because of price or shipping cost.  Clothes not my big interest.  I used to check out TSV first thing and religiously watched Dan and Mary Beth.  The hosts can easily turn me off.

I have not watched QVC in years.  There were so hosts that just did not appeal to me, and if they happened to be hosting a show that I really was interested in, I found myself changing the channel, and then later looking online. That's when I had the BIG realization.  I could do that with all the shows, and only click on something I was interested in to view the video.  The benefit of not watching the shows, also meant less impulse buying. Not that it was a big problem with me, but even less so now.

I have become disenchanted with QVC and have gone over to HSN as I love and adore Marla Wynn and her clothes. Her clothes and jewelry are a little more expensive but they are classic not trendy, nuetral colors, classy, unique, and all pieces and colors work together, even in different materials. Love her Ecru color, and the quality is top tier. She will tell you she's not the cheapest but that you should buy better and buy less. She's right, but when it comes to her stuff, the buying less part is really hard.

Exactly!  IMO, QVC and all the shopping channels should just be online.  Forget the expensive hosts, sets, etc. Offer a wide variety of items at a reasonable cost.

It was interesting to read all these posts. I, too, quit ordering from QVC a couple years ago. Then got bored watching any show except for Leah Williams' fashion show early Saturday morning. Then, I only watch the first hour until GMA comes on.

But I still check these forums a few times a week. Good for a few chuckles.

I have a similar story with a few differences. One of my goals for this year, would be to seriously reduce my QVC shopping. For the most part it's a bunch  wants and very few needs.

My story is similar to @icezeus and others.  My goal is to cut back my purchases this year.  I love the Q and have been happy with everything I've purchased in the past, but I really want to cut back in 2023!  I have plenty of makeup, clothing and other stuff already.  We'll see how it goes.

Well, I am the opposite.  I started watching QVC just for jewelry and also HSN. Then I started looking at clothes. Now I hardly EVER watch or shop from HSN,  because all my favorite jewelry designers have departed. I think the QVC clothes designers are higher quality than HSN.

I actually enjoy a lot of QVC fashion and I have found many great bargains. I shopped for more than a decade before I even looked at these boards.

I think the QVC sale prices on clothes are great.  If I ever stop buying new clothes then I think my life will be at a stand-still.  I even buy my 87 year old mother new clothes here and she likes them all.  

I have found many great  QVC shopping tips on these forums! Many forum people say they no longer shop--I do not know why they still want to be connected to QVC. 

If I did not shop here I would never bother with all these comments--my life is too busy and full.

@FancyPhillyshopper   IMO many people who are on these forums but no longer shop QVC are long time QVC viewers and have become disenchanted with what's offered.  For me, this is the only "social media" site I'm on and it's fun to see what people are thinking.  I rarely buy anything here--too many other places to shop--but just check in to see what's going on.

I find myself watching and buying less and less due to the SAME limited products being shown REPEATEDLY!

Also, even if I see something in a preview that has peaked my interest, the too lengthy TSV presentations shown several times in one show is a TURNOFF and is a channel changer.

Then there's the ever growing unwatchable---annoying, silly, childish, and narcissistic hosts who prefer to talk about themselves instead of the product---except for colors which is about the only info we get....and they go over and over the colors AD NAUSEUM!!!!  SMH.....

QVC is driving viewers AWAY...no wonder sales are down!
