Re: Free Shipping??

Q usually offers free shipping on a weekend day toward the end of a month.

With the ridiculously long delays in shipping and the crazy high cost to return an item, free shipping days have totally lost their appeal to me.

Especially since what they deduct from your refund for returns is more than what they charge to send it. This is by far the area where Q continues to be non-competitive.

Agree that QVC is making money from the s/h. I would think those costs are already factored into the price of the item. Pure profit for them, IMO.

Have you tried to mail or ship something yourself these days?

UPS, Fed EX and USPS have raised their prices drastically over the past 2 yrs while QVC has remained constant with $3.50 or $5.50 (not counting the riduculous shipping on purses)

The return label is almost 99% lower than my cost. Recently paid to return a bra to SOMA and it cost me $7.95.

Yes, QVC gets discounts but I doubt they are raking it in.

I know how our shipping costs have gone up....and up and work!

@Trailrun23 I disagree with you. On one FS day, I bought a pair of jeans that had been $74 for $61, couple days later they went back up to $74 and have stayed at that price since (end of March). It was a deal to me.
