Re: Do you watch more or less QVC now....

[ Edited ]

I haven't been a QVC Shopper as long as many here. QVC used to have more variety and unique products.......I still watch Saturday AM Style, Valerie Parr Hill, very few other shows, maybe I'll take a peek while channel flipping........Reasons I'm watching & shopping less now 🤔 :

 

Repetitive products and programming! ...The TSV is even shown several times in the same show!

 

Products aren't unique it's stuff that's everywhere locally or online....

 

Many hosts are annoying, narcissistic, loud, silly, talk too fast, act bored....very little product info except for colors...

 

Uncompetitive prices! "Sale" prices are a joke ---only $3-$4 off the regular QVC price...?????

 

Inconsistent sizing and quality in clothing ...

 

The "try me fee" when you return something...

 

EZ Pay doesnt entice me.....neither does FRI-YAY!

Re: Do you watch more or less QVC now....

I watch waaaaaaaaaay less than I used to.  The main reason being that Sean is on so much.  She drives me crazy with those over-the-counter glasses she insists on wearing.  Certainly QVC pays her enough to have her eyes checked professionally and get a prescription that works for her.  The ones she is wearing obviously are not working.  She takes them off and puts them on constantly.  I find this very annoying and distracting.  When she does leave them on, she wears them at the end of her pointy nose.  She needs to get a prescription that she can wear on her face and leave them on and wear them the way they are supposed to be worn.  If I turn on QVC and she is hosting, I immediately leave the channel.  Both our daughters and several of my friends feel the same way about it.  I also am not impressed with a lot of the products they air more than occasionally.  Too many beauty products and electronics.

@chiclet much, much less. Products are a repetitive bore, many hosts I just can't tolerate.

Even on Gem Day, and Gold Rush I was interested in very little, watched very little.

Re: Do you watch more or less QVC now....

I rarely watch the Q and if I need something I'll shop on the Q site.  However, I enjoy being out and shopping at stores which are many in my area.  I need the fresh air and being around people.  

 

I also do not care for the format of the show and many hosts turn me away.  I haven't missed it at all.

Re: Do you watch more or less QVC now....

oh, MUCH MUCH LESS... I go weeks without even turning QVC  on at all.  I use to watch all the time for many many years going back to the early90's. Hardly buy anything anymore. maybe one item a year.  I have a couple of long standing auto ships... but really that is about all I order now.

Re: Do you watch more or less QVC now....

Definitely watching less. Very seldom do they have new items, same items over and over again. Over priced items. Quality that has gone down hill. Long shipping time and worse when you try to return items. And those dam* annoying hosts. There are only 3-4 that I can watch longer then a few minutes. QVC needs to change its moniker. It no longer stands for Quality Value or Convenience. Their management team could use some better people also. Ones that listen to their customers.

Re: Do you watch more or less QVC now....

The thrill is definitely gone and it is rare that I tine in.

 

The Fenton glass shows were entertaining and informative.  I would tune in for QF, D&C (especially when Jill Bauer was the host), Morgan Fairchild's jewelry, BH Gold, Gabriella T sweaters, Black Hills Gold, Christopher Radko, Nesco and almost any show that Kathy Levine was hosting.  Bare Minerals was new to me and I watched those presentations whenever they were on.

      Significantly less!!!!  Too many repeats of products. Long, repetitive TSV presentations. Loud, childish, obnoxious hosts.

      I check in Q channel between other shows; rarely stay on the channel.  There are certain hosts I will not watch, regardless of what they are presenting.  Many products do not interest me...don't need nor want.
