You're not supposed to notice these things, Q customers are not savvy shoppers...........................................lol

 

 

 

.50 here and .50 there adds up to lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

 

We all know ups didn't go up and usps didn't go up so it's there increase, they should take ownership of it.

Re: Noticed Shipping Increase

Another poster has a thread up about QVC second quarter profits ...UP.

 

As someone just posted, fifty cents here, fifty cents there adds up to a nice chunk of change.

 

knock, knock QVC, shipping and handling charges WILL stop me in my tracks and prevent me from completing the order.

Not everything is $3. 00 From the time they made that change, some items always shipped at $5.00.  Which works for me, QVC shipping is still cheaper than HSN

shipping and other online retailers.   $11.99 shipping for pair of shoes was deal breaker for me recently.  I think QVC ships shoes at $5.  Which is fair.


Not all shoes ship at $5.00. Most do not so if you found $5.00 s/h on shoes, you were lucky.  I looked at a pair of Clarks and the s/h was over $10.00 from QVC.  And these were regular shoes, not boots.

I just noticed, while looking at a few household items that the shipping cost has increased from $5 to $5.50.  


 

Fuel prices are down now and shipping prices go up? Could mean sale volume is down, along profit margins. Easiest, no thought necessary, up those prices a bit. It is figured by markets that smrall increases won't be noticed by 50%, and the other 50% won't care. That is the "Think Tank Theory". Are they right?
