Re: Do you do a price comparison before purchasing?

I usually only buy things from QVC that I can't find anywhere else, like supersize Philosophy items or Josie Maran items, but I will check out things that I know I can find elsewhere.

 

I mostly buy beauty items on QVC and clothes. It's easy to get a good value on beauty items with sets, supersizes, and TSVs. I normally wouldn't buy a single moisturizer from QVC because I can get that for less at a local store, but as soon as they supersize it or make it a duo, the QVC value usually becomes unbeatable.

 

I buy a lot of clothes from QVC because they offer measurements on the pages, which makes it easier to find things that fit. They're one of the few places I can find pants that fit me because a lot of places have determined women aren't allowed to be short AND fat, you can only be short OR fat.

I always look for the lowest price including S&H and also online coupons before I order anything anywhere.

 

Some people who need something, but don't have the means to pay it upfront might need EasyPay, so I can see why they would not look elsewhere for a lower price.

No.  Getting something a few bucks cheaper is not worth the time spent for me.  I have never had issues ordering here and CS has always been able to quickly resolve any issues.

Always.

Yesterday's TSV power washer was 20% lower on their website. Maybe did not have extras? I did not pay close attention.

 

Dooneys purchased at IloveDooney at a fraction of the price before the holidays.

Other items: always check eBay.

My Q buying is usually limited to LTS clothing items.

Re: Do you do a price comparison before purchasing?

I can't think of anything I bought from QVC for at least a year that I could have bought elsewhere -  and if I look back another 6 months, the only thing I see that might exist elsewhere are a couple of Spanx camisoles, but they were all sale-priced and finding that price elsewhere is rare.  

 

Even when other places I shop run sales, few pieces if any from Spanx are included.

First if it's a national brand I read reviews, and no matter what cateogry of product I always comparison shop---

 

QVC is not very competitive in price these days!

Re: Do you do a price comparison before purchasing?

Yes. Sometimes QVC and HSN have better deals on beauty. The bundles are sometimes a better price than buying everything separately at Amazon or the Sephora site, as long as you want everything in the bundle.
