@Sandy-WI Unfortunately , there are many people on this board and across the country who really do not seem to care what the prices are. Apparently some people can pay anything they like for everything they want. That has never been my life experence so I really don't understand it. However, as long as they keep overpaying for QVC items QVC will continue to sell them at those prices.

Help costs money so the Q needs to charge these prices.  We're just so used to shopping with coupons at the brick and mortar stores, we're getting spoiled.

To some ladies, time is money and when they can click click click and have it sent without a hassle, the convenience factor is kicking in.

Also, China has raised all their prices to the US, everything is more expensive coming out of that country and they don't have a problem charging it. 

You know those beautiful cluster necklaces that everyone is wearing and stores charge over $100.....look up the wholesale prices on those necklaces and you'll see a lot of them can be purchased from a wholesaler for 50 cents....costume jewelry is worse than furniture which has a 4000% mark up...just crazy.

Susan sold over 75,000 on her last TSV. When you sell vast bulk numbers like this and like others, there "should" be some value to the customer.

The Q lost money in their finances in clothing. I wonder why? That is the reason for the first time actual good sales they've offered recently. It's hit their pocketbook.

The Q must offer "value." If they're no longer competitive with the advantage of selling by the thousands, they will continue to lose. That's what happens when you refuse to compete.

The average shopper on this board is very shopping savvy. She may or may not be able to afford inflated prices. The Q is simply a business to me. I can shop anywhere I wish and do so. I'm loyal to the business who respects me and is willing to compete and fight for my business. Others do....

I bought quite a bit from QVC many years ago.  They replaced my trips to the stores.  Not any more.  I guess I'm fortunate to live in an area where shopping is plentiful and even though I've always disliked going to stores, it's worth it to me now especially when I can buy tanks, tops, and pants for $5-$20.

What I don't understand is the significant and unreasonable price hike in a line like SG (whose fashions I no longer care for) when most of her line is still produced outside of the U.S.

I agree...their prices have gotten way too expensive.  Especially Susan Graver.  I`ve shopped with QVC for many years, and in the beginning, their prices were resonable.  Also, their "SPECIAL VALUES" are a joke.  You might save 6 or 7 dollars, but by the time you pay shipping & handling, you`ve saved nothing! Just my opinion.

I agree.......

I love shopping at the Q, but I will be doing a lot less shopping here if the quality of the products continues to go down and prices keep going up. I think most people don't mind paying a little more for something that's going to last a while or is distinctly unique.

That's the products that have kept me coming back for over 20 years (yes, 20 years!

I hope QVC gets back to what made them such a success in the first place (QUALITY, VALUE, CONVENIENCE) or Quickly Vanishing Customers could be in their future.

The one reason I do keep buying D&C tees is their longer length without being an actual tunic. I need those extra 2" of fabric. But the price is not any great deal. I am just willing to pay it for the fit.

Not sure why, but the hems on many of my SG pants started to unravel within a few washings. I was forever rehemming pants and just quit buying. I don't care for her design direction either, especially any rusching (sp?) and fake leather. But she appeals to many buyers, so Q is not going to miss my orders.
