QVC Financial Status - Page 2

I agree, they are laying the blame on the tariffs for the pricing, when in truth I think it is an effort to help the bottom line. QVC is not alone, it seems that most of the retailers are doing it.

We started making an effort to buy items made in the USA last year, it can be done, but one needs to make an effort to do so. There are a number of websites that sell products made in the USA, those are our 'go to' sites.

Forgot to add that blaming the tariffs as an excuse is a bit comical. I've not noticed the huge price increases on other websites I use for purchases, especially clothing. There's always an excuse.

Agree. Many other retailers are having great sales, e.g, Macy's, Blair, Appleseeds, etc. QVC offers a "sale" at 8% off?? They should cut their expenses and lower prices--JMHO!!

I think they are really tightening their belt; less free shipping, less markdowns (I have several things on my wish list that haven't budged in a month, sales that are only 5-6 dollars off original price, etc. Other retailers online and in store have much better markdowns. My shopping at qvc is way down and I don't tune in unless it's an hour I may be interested in, no more qvc on for noise in my quiet house.

Any tariffs enacted in the past few weeks has zero reflection on last quarter numbers. Newly tariffed items are still on a slow boat from China.

So they want to try and cut from their inventory products from China, all the while striking a partnership with TikTok and putting money in their (China) pockets.

They are relying more and more on their house brands. Perhaps they should consider an Amazon Marketplace for those items. I'd have more respect for them going that route rather than TikTok. Of course it would be expected that they would have to step up their delivery.

The tarriffs haven't even taken place yet. There is another 90 day delay for China.

A trade deal with China has been signed which will lower tariffs. Can't use that as an excuse now.

TV watching in general is way down, so watching QVC is irrelevant. I never watch and I do shop. I find products I want because I have learned the merchandise and know how to shop here. I do think they need to improve how they market themselves, so that new potential customers find them and the merchandise they want.

I do love the video demonstrations, whether the hosts are good or not, and I hope they continue. They are essential to my shopping.

Back to normal, @JeanLouiseFinch?

It will take time to get shipment schedules operating at capacity.

The Q does spotlight clothing on Instagram but nothing looks particularly intriguing. 🤨
