I look at both sites and always buy at Q if there is an easy-pay option. I like QVC a lot but use Amazon a lot, too. I would bet Nordstrom, another of my favorites, also scored high in customer service.

I like Anthropologie a lot, too, and J. Boden's. Those companies are not as big, but CS is very good with them, too.

Edit: Oops, I see the ratings were for small appliances only, not CS in general.

I just got an Ipad tablet on easy pay and it is going to make travelling so easy. It already has--I had a business meeting in San Francisco this weekend. And it was on 6 easy pays and easy to budget, too. The cheapest price isn't always the most convenient one and I need solid electronics that will last a while--I could care less about having the latest model as long as there is a lifespan left in the model I buy. The first time I turned on the Ipad it was automatically upgraded to the latest configuration. That Ipad is a nifty little gadget for checking email and such. It will never replace real computers but it's so much easier to type on than an iphone.

Hi Ford I saw your post from Consumer Reports on qvc & amazon shop both places since you have the magazine does it say where HP & Dell rate there 17 in laptops?

My neighbor is thinking of getting the HP 17 in AMD A8 8GB 1TB she wanted to know if we had consumer reports I told her we didn't get the magazine she was wondering which company makes the best 17 in laptop she lives on a fixed income so can't spend a lot.

I sure appreciate it if anyone who has this magazine would let me know how HP & Dell rate. I'm trying to help her as much as I can.

From my experience dell is a pice of c**p. All my friends have replaced theirs with other brands including HP

I guess if you like buying outdated technology in appliances and continue to pay the price for today's technology,,then the Q is the place for you. Not to mention the crazy shipping charges they add on. I check amazon if/when I see something I want to buy from the Q, and every single time amazon has a better price. Even if it's the same, they provide free 2 day shipping since I am prime. I could never get something from the Q delivered in 2 days for free. But like I said, if you continue to search online when you some something presented, you'll find a more updated model available. When it comes to appliances and electronics, the Q is like a clearance store, but charges the same price as the newer model. But...to each their own, and one can spend their money any way they want.

Which small appliances??? Meaningless comparisons. I'll continue to shop at Costco --- where prices are low and returns are easy. Plus --- no shipping.

Costco is another great option for small appliance, or any appliance purchases. Their customer service and easy return policy is the best. That weighs a lot on my mind when I think about making a purchase like that.

I love Costco, but the appliance selection is very limited. No easy pay I ever heard of there, either.

As far as I know, the Apple Ipad I just bought is still being purchased online at $150+ what I paid at QVC on easy pay, and I think I had free shipping and handling. Real shoppers do their research and don't just recite the mantras of the past. Of course, if it's not a good deal, don't buy something. If it is a good deal, try and see beyond your blinders.

I just started getting them and so far none on computer comparisons. I know they do them often though.

Thank you Ford for posting I was hoping it would be in the magazine I told my friend just get what you can afford I think there all about the same some like HP's some people like Dell's I think there all made the same place China they just have different company names.

Sorry, but I don't believe that QVC's price plus S&H would beat out either Costco or Walmart.

ITA NO WAY!

HP is far better.

My dh will only use MACs though.

I prefer buying from Amazon more than the Q because with Prime, it's usually a better deal. But since Prime is going up to $99 in July for me, I might not renew. I don't plan on ordering as much in 2015 when I retire so the savings won't be enough to justify being a member. I don't do the movie streaming either....well, hardly ever.
