Re: Do you do a price comparison before purchasing?

[ Edited ]

If I can find it somewhat easily elsewhere (manufacturers' website, for example), I'll give it a try.

 

For example, it puzzles me why ANYONE would buy a D&B handbag on QVC these days.  Even the TSVs are too $$.

I have ethical issues with Amazon’s business practices and will happily pay more for something anywhere else than buy it from Amazon.

Re: Do you do a price comparison before purchasing?

@Tinkerbell3   if I see something I like on QVC I always check prices for the same or similar item elsewhere.  I  have always found them cheaper somewhere else.  Not to mention that I often find them with no shipping charges.   I have not purchased anything from QVC, with the exception of TOVA Signature Eau de Parfum, since October.

Just curious.... because, QVC doesn't always have good prices. 

They have a Radley Bag on QVC which is FAR more because, on the Radley website, the item is on sale. I just purchased it!

QVC is carrying a car wash that is over $10 more (plus shipping- FREE on Amazon)

 

Always check... The Dooney bags are often on Sale on Dooney.com AND, they have lots of colors choices AND, an Easy Pay (for those interested) 

 

Shoes are another item to check!


I've purchased several Dooneys from Ilovedooney dot com - Dooney & Bourke's outlet site. All purses are in perfect condition - but I read that their customer svce isn't up to par.

Since I discovered other channels I rarely purchase from Q.   Q seems to be higher when I comparison shop.

Most  times  I always do a price comparison.
