Re: QVC Selling New IPad -- To expensive!!

Cats3000 · ‎10-07-2013

Personally, I'd never buy electronics from any TV Shopping Channel. We are an Apple family. We buy only from the Apple Store 0n-Line, an Apple Retail Store, or an Apple Authorized Reseller.

All that said, if it is "too expensive" vote with your feet and buy elsewhere.

In April I ordered the iPad off of the Apple website for $329 which included free shipping. I ordered a really nice case from Amazon,without the keyboard,& a tempered glass screensaver for a total of $15.If I had chosen a case with the Bluetooth keyboard it would have cost about $10 more. The neoprene case sells for about $10 on Amazon.
QVC is supposed to offer better deals than what is sold in the marketplace.Atleast they used to!! I spent $344.If I had bought the keyboard case & the neoprene case I would have spent $364 vs $480 or $549+$11.47!! Am I missing something here?

EZ pay. That is the main reason people buy from QVC. The second reason? You have 30 days to return. We have encouraged people to compare prices, save their money until they can buy it without payments and it falls on deaf ears. So, I stopped feeling sorry for those people who get ripped off.

exactly why customer would buy an iPad here, the only way Q can offer it is to throw in the extras, but it is a bit dodgy that they overcharge so much for the $20/30 worth of them,

just save up for 3 or months then buy the iPad for 2 ezpays

@NicksmomESQ .. not only are the Q's electronics over priced, but usually they are selling outdated models. You are so much better off buying directly from Apple.

This is the only "accessory" I've every used on my four year old iPad.

I've never had any need for cases, keyboards, screen protectors (don't have a scratch on mine). I do use a stylus. That junk is useless nonsense.

Hold on to your hats..... Samsung s2 8" on HSN is selling for $530 no special anything with it. At bestbuy its on sale for $299 regular $399. that is $230 to $130 cheaper than HSN. The new Samsung A 8" is $230 at HSN $270 here but its $150 at Best Buy. That is $80 to $120 cheaper. Yikes.

I purchased the iPad Mini 4 128GB at Best Buy this week for $399 QVC and HSN the cheapest offer is $599 with minimal accessories.

Unless the packaged accessories is something you really want it is not a good deal. have you noticed they rarely sell a tablet with out being bundled with accessories? they are trying to hide the fact you are paying too much. I bet you dollars for donuts if you can buy the peaces seperately its still cheaper. I do not think those are Apple approved keyboards ither. They look like a cheap off market model. Apple and big brands do not offer crazy color patterns in their keyboard and cases

I've had my IPad for several years. I knew exactly what I was doing by buying it off QVC and it was the EZ payments that sold me because there was no way I could afford it without them.

My iPad is the original large one (which I LOVE)... with the whole package, including keyboard, etc, etc. Did I get ripped off? No, I agreed to the price, was grateful for the EZ pay and shopped around and found it was the most convenient for me.

Kind of like the food you buy here.... you know you can get a big ham for $28 at the supermarket.... but you choose to pay $75 for one because it'll come right to your doorstep. While I don't buy the food... I do buy other things once in awhile because the item is offered as a package and it's offered on EZ pay. On some things I find to be absolutely worth it ....

You did but, if you don't mind spending more instead of saving your money and buying it elsewhere, that's your business.
