Why are my items shipped to me with $3.50 shipping and handling yet the return labels charge me $6.95? Seems to be a clear profit of $3.45 to QVC on each package returned. I think I'm about done with clothing at QVC. Nothing is sized like it used to be and shipping/return fees are not making sense.

It depends on the size and weight of the item, if you choose to pay for your own shipping.
The new USPS Ground Advantage also factors in how many miles the thing is going, as opposed to regions of the country.
Years ago, I returned a small square box with a pair of earring studs in it. I just couldn't stand to pay $6.95 to return them, so I printed a label on Paypal. It was First Class with tracking and it cost me $1.85!
Granted, I didn't insure the package, and postage rates have gone up since then a couple times, but it was a real eye opener.
I also stopped buying "heavy" things, just jewelry and makeup.
This wouldn't work for some, but it works for me.
