Re: Non conus customers

I have friends in Hawaii (don't know about Alaska) and shipping to and from there has always been expensive. Only options are air or ship (obviously no trucks or trains) and that is expensive.

hard to say what this particular biz cares about but would depend on the % of sales those areas generate,

if it's 1% not much but 50% probably,
do other companies upcharge for shipping to those areas?

Many do, yes.

I thought you used a Latin phrase. But non conus = non-contiguous U.S. - as in states and territories.

thanks for that translation @ValuSkr

i think that the real organization to be putting the blame on should be USPS rather than QVC......we will be paying more for POOR service. each month the situation has gotten worse and worse.

if you have not felt it, consider yourself lucky.

@traveler they should care if you are a big spender here otherwise sadly no. A big spender would probably be considered by qvc to be in the category "Top 25th customer" although I can't wrap my mind around how much that would be per year. I think "Top 250" is somewhat more common and have seen "Top 1000" but those levels are probably not impressive enough for them to care one whit.
