I'm surprised about all the complaints about the price.  Yes these masks cost a lot less before the pandemic.  But circumstances have changed.  There is high Worldwide demand and a limited supply.  Most are produced in China.  You are going to pay more.  I used to be able to buy these from CVS for less than $5.  Those days are over.  QVC is a reliable source.  I don't have to sit with my fingers crossed hoping that the masks show up.  I don't have to worry about quality control.  I know people who payed less but received opened, dingy masks.  I just hate that they are now on wait list.  I have family members who need masks I'd like to send these to.

@liliblu...I agree with what you said.  They are on "Waitlist" now?  Well, I knew when I posted this yesterday they wouldn't last long and then this morning when Dan Hughes showed them on air (he just mentioned them and showed a picture and no presentation), that they would probably sell out.  At least they have waitlist and if you need some, put your order in.  He said limit 2 boxes.

I placed an order for my uncle.  He's almost 80 and has COPD.  He lives alone and needs masks.  He's in GA.

@liliblu....great to hear!  I went back and looked and see that they are still available to order and not on waitlist.  That's good.  I know your uncle will be so happy to get them.  You are a good niece.  Stay safe.

imported.  Doesn't say from where. 

Going way out on a limb and making a wild guess ... China.

No, thanks!

[liliblu]

Thank you!  Please stay safe as well.

I see they are now on waitlist but if anyone needs some, put your order in because I am sure the Q will do whatever to get them to you.  Glad I got mine in yesterday.  Stay safe everyone.

@sunshine45  I think everyone realizes masks were pretty prevalent in China, but certainly not as prevalent as I've seen since this virus. It just makes sense to wear a mask since we don't have enough testing. Also because some people walking around with the virus have no symptoms.

50 bucks PLUS shipping & handling? Shame on you QVC!

@MoJoV 

then it should be of no surprise that MORE people are walking around with masks on.
