Does anyone else think it's ridiculous that QVC no longer displays the shipping costs of items online? Do they think they are going to trick us into thinking there is free shipping or something? This is just going to make more people, definitely me, steer away from shopping from QVC. I've always thought shipping prices from QVC are ridiculous, especially when compared to other retailers, and even other shopping channels. But this is a new low. I will stick to amazon and HSN for online shopping.

Ju Ju Bear, I think there were a couple of threads about this yesterday and some thought it was a glitch in the system? Time will tell I guess. If they are in fact doing it on purpose I suspect it will backfire!

i wrote this on another thread. the LAST time i noticed this had happened i also noticed that they had RAISED the SandH fees. a few days after it happened they were back on the item page.

as of now, the shipping fees show up when you add an item to your cart.

Oh wow. I just looked up a couple of items to check it out and no s&h fee listed, although there is a small blurb about 'plus shipping and handling'. That's just wrong. But I bet they reel in lots of naĂŻve people who don't even notice. Smiley Sad

Bad move, Q.

I wonder if this is their response to all the complaints about high shipping costs.

They just did an investigation about what we think and do about S&H. I had plenty to say.

I made my first purchase at QVC in a long, long time and paid $7.50 S&H. It like to have killed me because I am so spoiled for free S&H at other sites but it was for two pair of D&C capris which I really love and had worn out my old ones. Other than that I refuse to shop QVC anymore and I use to be an avid shopper once upon a time. I am sure they have lost a lot of business because of their ridiculous S&H.{#emotions_dlg.angry}

I had a serious conversation last night with an order taker on the Q on this very subject. In the box where they show the S&H, and additional $4.00 off if you wish to buy a second pair of the same...... Well, they showed a "special S&H Price" in that box. Then when I placed my order, she quoted be $6.72 for S&H......I said "wait a minute, it says Special S&H pricing"....and to me that $6.72 is not a "Special S&H price"....... Her final comment to me was that is the price they are showing her......

After that I proceeded to check out what other S&H prices were of similar items......and there was no price on anything......

Silver, hope they gave you 1/2 off the S&H on the 2nd pair of the capris you purchased.

I too have been a very good customer on the Q, but am really beginning to think more about their S&H rates......and my continuing to be a good customer. I do know I haven't been ordering near as much as I used to......

Instead of adding it to a person's cart to see the shipping cost. everyone should call the order operator (or better yet - Customer Service) to see what the shipping and handling costs are! That may stop them if they get swamped with calls.

I did get the half off for the 2nd item, ShowMe. $5 for the first and $2.50 for the 2nd.
