SHOPHQ is now offering 50% off for today for 24 hours.   They are probably trying to clear out as much as they can before end of Month.

There are still some really nice things on their website to purchase at a great savings, if anyone is interested!

Going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow with their website.

If they are going completely out of business which I assume is the case--not even being online--I find it strange that no mention is made of it.  And the "extra 50% off" is for order $99+.

[JKLSCH]

Agreed!  I live in MN, and there has only been a couple of articles in the local newspapers about the layoffs, and that their Headquarters in Eden Prairie is completely being shut down, I believe by end of June.   Otherwise it's been pretty quiet news wise.

@JKLSCH  hello, thanks for posting. I've been eyeing the 24 hr offer 😁. Finally broke down and got these goodies: not bad all for $ 67ish + 6.79 tax. Products are dwindling down....going to miss them. I had a jasper bracelet in my cart but sold out 😫. Enjoy shopping🤭🤗🤗

Hi!

Nice purchases you made!  Hope you enjoy!  I am trying to behave myself (for now, lol!)

I DID buy a couple of things yesterday when it was 40% off.

I am really curious to see what the website looks like tomorrow.

I am going to miss them too.  Has been one of my favorite places to shop for a long time.

It is so sad that they are going out of business.  I actually worked there a long time ago, part time.  Nice company back then and nice people that worked there.

@JKLSCH @Hi there, Sigma looks like a good concealer I see qvc carries Sigma, but concealer was much less on Shophq. Lipgloss and mascara looks good! Lol. I love Isomers, what can I say, I'll just stash everything! It's 60% now!!!

ShopHQ has always had that $99+   Most of the inventory (for jewelry) started at $100.00 anyway.  They offer fine jewelry.   I liked their gold.  I shop at Gem Shopping.  So I'm used to costs like that.   The only part still online is thte ordering.

I loved this shopping channel when it was Valuevision and Shop NBC. I am grateful for all the beautiful jewelry I purchased then.

Gem Shopping is a fun channel to watch!  I did purchase a  couple of super nice Tanzanite rings from them last year, at unbeatable prices.  Extremely happy with my purchases from there!
