I am a bargain shopper.  I buy by color and design.  I have seen recently prices from the Q that are "up there" ... over $100, shoes, tops, pants, whatever.  

Those of you who buy IS THERE REALLY A DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY?

Due to the higher prices and long delays to receive merchandise, I am not buying from QVC unless the item is unique and needed. I am having much better luck with HSN and even Shop HQ. I like their hosts better too. That being said, I don't view watch shows or sanitizer shows.

@bonnielu    Have you looked at grocery prices lately?  I hear beef is up 20%.  It's bound to happen.  Too many associated new, higher expenses for all retail, and this is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

It pays to shop around which is easy with almost every store having a website.

I find grocery prices quite an eye opener from month to month. My total today was nearly $30 more for the same items purchased before mid March.

Store managers are still having problems with what they order, and what gets shipped. One local manager does not see this issue improving, and feels this will get much worse this winter.

My take on his words is to buy what I need when I find it in stock.

@RedTop : Totally agree. My Walmart was out of paper towels, very low on cleaning and laundry supplies, some can goods hard to find plus the price increases especially on meat. Still no wet wipes like Lysol and Clorox and definitely not in the Walmart brands. Southern Bee

I totally agree all prices have taken a huge giant step up. Especially graver prices. They do not warrant lhe increase. I am not buying much q  fashion. Sorry  graver prices do not rate with linea, basso, isaac, and other real designer prices. this will probably deleted, must not offend graver.

Prices are up all over on everything.  Groceries are outrageous!   That said, I quit shopping for clothes on QVC a long time ago because of their high prices across all brands, and their poor quality and inconsistent sizing.  

Now I read all the complaints about shipping here on these boards.... no thanks, I won't order from QVC.

I saw a blouse I really liked in the Denim and co natural line.  It is 46.50 and tax and s&h. makes it  54.00.  Then if it does not fit or looks awful on me I am out a little over 10.00 for just trying it on.  Also it will take a month or more to be credited for the return.  Makes you think twice before ordering.

I don't buy an item from QVC/HSN unless it's on sale at a significant price reduction-25% or more.  I don't "need" anything so badly that I would pay the original prices.
