QVC changing

lmh45 · ‎01-04-2015

QVC has changed so much. TSVs are often a vacuum, Vitamix or skin care/makeup product. Ugh! They've lost their imaginations to bring on new items and offer more. Love David but find I'm so turned off by QVC I rarely watch him. I love Clarks shoes but have found you can google a pair you like and find them much cheaper than on QVC. Of course they wouldn't post that comment when I discovered that and doubt this will be posted for long, if at all. I want the old QVC back. Sick of the same stuff!

I understand. The Q isn't anything is was like in the past. It's everything department store now. Used to have unique and interesting things - one of a kind and affordable too. Gone are those days.

In reading some of your posts since you signed on, gather you are very dissatisfied with the Q...... Why do you even bother if that is how you feel?

Yes, they have changed, but do still offer some very nice things. They can't please all of the folks all of the time.

Yes all of the production costs have risen and the prices had to go up.the uniqueness has been replaced with mass produced.The old ways were the best for shoppers but profits rule business.

In the early days of QVC I rarely bought. I was never interested in collectible dolls, lladro, capodimonte or other expensive items to sit and gather dust and live in fear that one of my kids or pets would break them.

Most of the jewelry they offered, while being a good price, was still too expensive for my budget.

I bought 1 gold rope necklace, but most of what I did buy was Mojave Magic make-up and tried a couple of Tova items.

Oh, I did buy during the Irish programs.

I like the more modest update to the TSV intro. That big banner with the music always annoyed me.

Everything changes, it is a rule of life.

I stopped buying at QVC for a while and found that certain products are much more economical when purchased there, so I am back as a regular customer.

But I use the Internet because I already know their inventory more or less. I don't have to watch the TV.

It may be time for you (I mean imh45, the OP) to stop watching and just buy online what QVC is good at providing. Since the horrible crash of 2008 they have stayed prosperous by focusing on essentials more than niche products. Times are better now and gold jewelry is already back at a much lower price point ($20 per gram higher than at its lowest point c. 2006). That I can live with, and I hope they go back to 24 hr a day silver and jewelry events. I miss the 24 hr Irish events and even the German events c. 2000--I got quite a few bears for kids in my family from Hermann.

It's changed to practical but as I see it is changing again back to disposable income. And why not? People work hard for their money, very hard. They should have fun choices, I agree, as well as vacuum cleaners.

Is there any retail corporation that isn't changing except those that have died?

I was a totally different kind of shopper when QVC was in its infancy and online was not a shopping option. When I wanted to escape from the news, when I didn't want to have to concentrate on a drama on TV, I used to turn on QVC almost for noise in the background.

I no longer shop the way I did and I virtually never keep any TV running just for company. Besides, I have no nostalgia for what QVC was. Just like any other store, they have to decide what they think their customers will buy --- and I still get to decide if I want what they offer.

Whatever it is, I will never again be buying with the abandon I did when QVC and I were both much younger.

I don't watch, I don't buy anymore, and that's the truth. End of a decade for me. Do I mourn the down turn of QVC? No. When I think of it, one word comes to mind: stupid. As in someone's stupid decisions= changing the channel.

So complaints aren't allowed here? Now that is funny. ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$
