One thing for sure,  as evidenced by MacKenzie CHilds  coming to QVC , no more coupons of $20 off or $20 off items . Enjoy while they are still in business.

Re: ShopHQ will be online only. No TV programing.

I'm really sorry to hear this...

 

I bought a few items years ago (that I ended up selling) their jewelry was quite pretty. FYI they are currently offering a 20% off jewelry coupon through tomorrow night. 

 

I also lost the channel but I see they are now back on the Comcast lineup.

 

I'm sorry for all those who will lose their jobs. Melissa Miner has been there for years.

As Shawn said in his podcast, how does a TV shopping channel make it after being dropped by so many cable companies? That is their lifeblood. I do think it's sad. HQ has made so many mistakes over the years by dropping brands, ridiculous shipping, pigeonholing their customers, and getting rid of many categories, and now after Covid, inflating their price point to insane levels. For example, a Tiffany lamp before Covid hit sale prices would never go over $800.00, and that was for a massive size lamp. Now that same lamp is $2,000 on sale. Come on. This is foul. They were notorious for playing pricing games. Now it's out of control. I'm not sure if 'just online' will help them.

I always enjoyed their gold jewelry shows. They could have fun without droning on and on with personal stories, classless behavior, etc.

Wonder if Isomers and Dr Dubrow will stick around, their prices have gone way up. And SHQ now has their ridiculous shipping policy, free over 75 and under 75 is $10.

I checked the ShopHQ website today and there are "Last Chance" prices on many beauty items including Isomers.  There's also a $40 of $99 coupon for ShopHQ on Coupon Cabin.

 

I purchased the Kombucha mask duo and some simple science sets that were last chance markdowns.  Many of my core favorite products are no longer available on the Isomers website since they streamlined it and the prices for their other products have gone way up for less product. @BdBettyB @Shelbelle
