The prices for most of the clothing lines have gotten way out of hand, for items that are really not that special! Susan Graver tops, over 60 bucks? C'mon. Kim G, ridiculous for the items she sells. I can't shop here anymore. I get just as nice or better in TJMaxx for wayyy less!

You really have to shop around if you want the lowest prices. I agree that most QVC prices are incredibly high, but some folks can't get out and about and the convenience comes in to play for them.

Items are created overseas and thus the cost to do business THAT WAY, costs the consumer. I have found gorgeous items at Pennie’s on the dollar from going to thrift and vintage resellers. There again, I have always loved repurposing and thrift hunting for unique things, I know that is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea.

@RetRN  Why would you need to get out and about? All stores offer online shopping and  more variety in clothing designs. One line looks the same as the next on QVC, there are a couple that offer different designs. The pricing has become a real drawback for many and longtime customers are leaving. So, it does hurt the bottom line.

I agree with both of you, @RetRN  and @LisaLisaD .  You can find much lower prices.  I love to shop in brick and mortar and am always surprised with how much more I get for my dollars. I also like to try on in a store which eliminates the fee for trying on and returning with online shopping.

 

I feel the extra that one pays for QVC items is the C in their name.  Convenience, plain and simple.  I am thankful that I can still get out and about and shop.  This may not be the case in the future.

 

I purchase some beauty items when they have a special pack up and a price that can't be found elsewhere.

QVC may have been a trail blazer years ago for viewing and online shopping but today that is not the case.

 

Most retailers ship today.  And most have great sales not just buy it during this hour / day One Time Only type sale.  

 

Talbots is wrapping up their semi-annual Red Door sale the prices have been incredible.

@MoonieBaby : Do you mean Penny's or is this another store? I thought Penny's had closed. But, I have been to the Mall since BC (Before Covid).

I see that the Pioneer Woman has a line of clothing here.  Is it new?  She had a line of clothing at walmart not that long ago and the prices were much more reasonable.  I bought a number of tops there and they were cute.
