Customer Care,
I usually let things like this go, knowing it's a marketing ploy, but this time I needed to say something. When I went to the home page, I see this Memorial Day banner and when clicking to go see the clearance sale it states I will save 25% - 50% off the QVC price.

Again Q showing they think their customer base is stupid.
So many great sales on the internet and at the stores this weekend.

This is in no way misleaing, and it in no way implies that these are special just for memorial day. While you are inferring thi it is on you -- not QVC.
As far as the seledtion of merchandise, if you do not like the selection or the pricing, do not buy anything. Seriously? You have nothing better to do than invent controversies and omplain about something so silly?

In your fired up state you forgot to spell check.

this also was the case yesterday with the "flash jewelry sale" advertized as 25% off price for 2 hours only. Yes, 25% off original price or "retail" price but not 25% off the current price.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this very right on thread. It shows the intelligence of QVC shoppers.
I too have notice that these clearance items are the same old, same old stuff. It seems nothing moves out of the QVC warehouse. It just hangs around.
I can't get my mind around the thinking here. It could be something about not letting go like hoarders. Maybe that's it.
If you want variety, sales and genuine markdowns, shop HSN.

I absolutely agree that it's misleading!!!

I read a on line story a while back about a study on pricing policies done by some consumer group naming the worst offenders using ploys to entice the customers into thinking they were getting a great deal. The worst offender according to this story was QVC. They listed about 15 different pricing categories that QVC assigned to a product from TSV's to OTO to clearance and everything in between. Think about it when was the last time you saw clothing in a regular store that was on a clearance rack be taken off clearance and marked back up in price but QVC does it. Even when a brick and motor store has special markdowns they may offer a edition all 25% off a clearance item but when that promotion ends the item is still at the clearance price the store doesn't mark it back up again but QVC plays games like that all the time. In fact I cannot remember when I last saw a item presented on air that did not have some sort of "special pricing" attached to it.

agree with OP, but if I'm looking for clearance I'm not shopping here, they took that word out of the QDictionary :-)

It was exactly the same last Memorial Day. And Labor Day... and whatever other holiday sales they advertise across special banners. I don't even bother looking most of the time.
They DID have some actual sales around Christmas and I got a Bose speaker at a really good price.
