I have noticed this for a while now....when there is a OTO value......the shipping seems to be jacked up. So you get a break on the cost and shipping is increased. I am sure "handling" is factored into the shipping costs. QVC has the highest of all shopping networks that I have seen. I cannot believe with the volume done that the savings are not passed on. So okay once in a while there will be free shipping...........not often.

Re: Ever notice this.........

I just ordered one, a long sleeve tee, shipping was $5.72.

That actually seems low for what they've charged me on other things.

Re: Ever notice this.........

I just really noticed it today when they had on an Isaac top as the OTO and the shipping was $6.72. I think that is very high and I have noticed in previous items.

I believe I bought a bracelet that was the size of dental floss and the shipping was $5.00 and something. The cost can't have to do with the weight or the size..........not sure how it is calculated.

I usually find S&H charges to be higher at several sites like Sundance and Soft Surroundings. I've backed out of several purchases at those sites.

Re: Ever notice this.........

I've noticed in some catalog companies, the shipping cost is tied to the price of the item. For instance, $50-$100= $5.00 /$100-$175=$7.00. I made up these prices but that's the way it works. I have even called about an expensive but very light weight item and asked about free S&H but the answer is no. I choose where those things are free like Nordstrom and NM
