Re: Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

Yes....I have bought less from QVC but I think it more so because our cable provider number for channel way down on the list. It used to be right up there in the double digit channels and now it’s way down the among triple number of channels and frankly I can’t remember what they are excellent ! 

 

I did recently purchased a couple of the items from Valeries harvest show but only because I follow her on Facebook and was reminded of them. I just receive them, and I’m not sure whether ther I did recently purchased a couple of the items from Valeries harvest show but only because I follow her on Facebook and was reminded of them. I just receive them, and I’m not sure if I’m keeping them.

I only watch for fashion. I've bought several items to refresh my fall wardrobe and took advantage of the reduced price during the fall preseason event. I do more shopping with Evine because their prices are better and they offer more of the styles I like. I also like their Cooks Companion line.

Only view products on line. Clothing purchases way down due to quality & sizing issues. This year bought 1 pair IM 24/7 capris and 2 D&C tops. Main purchases were a few JAI pieces and a tracfone deal.

Re: Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

Not the same .  I brought an 8" Silverstone pot yesterday at a brick and morter.  They had to order from their  online store.  I got free S/H, and 20% off on a 16.99 purchase.  My total cost shipped to my house is $14.77.  The same pot on the Q with S/H and higher tax came to $21.73.  Also would stay in process for a week and another week to receive.  No, few  I like a few vvendors on the Q,, nothing like  years prior. Prices high and the Q gives no discounts or specials.

I watch only those shows that I am interested in.  My purchases are mostly sale items or AS IS items.

Re: Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

I probably watch as much as I did ,  but not buying as much as I used to. Christmas items are my weakness,  and I'm sure I will be tempted ,  love Valerie's holiday items!!  I don't care for a few of the hosts and the ones I do enjoy are not always  on when I'm viewing.  I find the constant chatter or talkng loud and prancing about distracting .  I just want details on the items I'm interested in.  It should be about the product not the host.  

 

My latest complainet is that I am unable to read the reviews,  which I use as one of my considerations to purchase.   Up u til about 3 weeks ago I was able to read them.  I have an older version iPad but that never affected my reading reviews till now.

Re: Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

Variety has dropped.  Hosts are too much ABOUT THEMSELVES.  Product descriptions are not what they used to be.  Lots of repeated items.  Just not what it was. And bottom line I don't need that much anymore.  I already GOT IT and now don't quite know what to do with it.  

 

This is not to say I don't buy..., but mostly online from Amazon, Blair, Zulily.  And in stores... Walmart and Costco.  Kind of funny.  I can get some really beautiful things in Walmart that people think I pay a fortune for. Cannot remember the QVC  product line but a lady who sells lots of long layered things with high price tags.  I see it and go to Walmart to get it.  LOL

Re: Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

Back when home television shopping was new, I watched all the time but rarely purchased because I've always thought the base price on most items was more expensive than what I could find at my local mall or elsewhere and that's not even includng the s/h.  

 

Now I don't watch or buy.  However, I understand the appeal and reasons why a lot of people might shop the Q.  You've got busy moms & dads, those that are homebound or those that don't like to get out in the crowds, etc.

Re: Is anyone else watching/buying far less of QVC?

Since Q and HSN combined I definitely watch less of HSN. I rarely paid shipping as would get my fashion shipped free for 99.00. Lancome free. No more deals and sales tax collected which I know is a Govt. requirement. Marla Wynne is the only fashion I like. HSN has gotten like Q which I expected.
