THE JOKE IS ON US

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

We have all assumed that QVC wasn't doing well financially, figures down, etc. Meanwhile they quietly scraped together a few dollars and purchased HSN.

As we also b-tch and moan about the quality of products and boring programming, it doesn't add up. Enough of us are making purchases to fill the Q's pockets...and nicely, too.

So are these forums believable posts?

The q's parent company is purchasing. I didn't believe q was doing bad. I don't believe everything I read here. Some posters are proud to say they don't shop at the q, yet they are loudest on the moaning threads. One comment washes out the other. It doesn't influence me either way. I know what my experience has been with the q and go by that.

@Shanus I heard they bought HSN on Easy Pay. Six easy payments of 350,000,000.

I never thought they werein bad shape. They couldn't possibly for the prices they charge, the tons of bucks they make off of shipping and returns and the amount of stuff they sell

If they are doing poorly, something is bad wrong.

It's the company that owns QVC that makes the money. They also recently bought out Zulily, and now HSN.

I can't speak for other people, but I used to buy a lot from QVC, now I probably average one thing a month, and I am sending back my purchase for this month because the zipper is defective.

In reality QVC 'bought' no one. QVC has a parent company that may or may not perform as well/poorly as some of it's holdings.

The parent company is doing the purchasing, not QVC. The parent company either bought HSN because QVC is a great money maker and they want another of the same type of business, or they bought it because Q isn't doing all that great, and they want to bolster their holdings. Either way, it is what it is.
