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

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.

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 not only are the Q's electronics over priced, but usually they are selling outdated models.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.

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

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

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

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.
