I enjoy QVC. Have been a shopper for 20 years. I can no longer afford the prices. I live in an area of the country where salaries are low. I can’t afford a pull over top for $70. I have to look at ‘as is’ and I have noticed those prices are higher now as well. Shipping cost per item is also ridiculous …and it takes 2-3 weeks. When I order items on line from other companies I pay one shipping price for the total order…not for each item. Please do better QVC. I also see that item prices increase when you offer ‘free shipping’…so there rarely is such a thing as free shipping.

Well, I live in an area where salaries are NOT low (I don't work, so not talking about myself), but I wouldn't pay $70 for a pullover top when I can go to Kohl's and get one for less than half that price.  And you're right @Hoggie about the individual shipping costs.  It's all too much!

agree ! Also I've found that Macy's is well priced too.

I've seen and paid shipping charges at other online sellers and think $3.50 to ship a garment is extremely reasonable, the least I've seen other than free.  I don't give it a second thought.

 

It never takes WEEKS to receive an order unless there are special circumstances.  A week is the average for me.

 

I'm willing to pay whatever QVC charges, for the convenience.  I hate shopping in stores.  Haven't done it for years, even groceries.

I'm retired and I don't really need to be buying much clothing these days. I like to have fairly good quality basic pieces and keep those updated. But honestly I can find basic/classic clothes for less in other places besides the Q. I refuse to spend $50+ on basic tees or $80+ for basic jeans or pants. That's not in my budget today especially with everything else included to live my life comfortably.

I rarely purchase fashion items on the Q because I can find better quailty elsewhere. I wear LLBean Tee's and LLbean perfect pants often. Even though expensive, they are of good quality and last. I also purchase clothes from Sam's Club, Costco, and Macy's. Those are my go-to places now. The prices are better.

@Citrine1  In my wildest dreams I wouldn't spend $70 on a casual top that I would wear to run around town in or wear in the house. 

 

I stick to Costco. Their clothing selections suit my taste and quality and fit criteria just fine. 

 

A typical top usually costs about $15. at Costco.  I usually go there once a season and for $100 I get a complete wardrobe of casual clothes.

 

I have expensive clothes for "occasion dressing" that I don't mind spending a lot of $$ on; however, for casual clothes, NO...

Interesting; I  do the opposite! I don't spend a lot on '"occasion dressing" because I don't wear them enough to make it worthwhile. I tend to spend more,on things I get a lot of wear from and they need to stand up to a lot of washing and drying. We all spend differently.

I like shopping at Kohl's or Macy's. Kohl's has some good sales and recently, the shipping was free. I bought Vera Wang Petite Tops, Lands End Tees Petite  and some sweaters. Also, if I need to return the store is about 10 minutes from my house. Macy's has free return shipping.

 

I can't afford to be spending $70 for tops that are seasonal. I think quality is in the eyes of the buyer. Everyone has different needs and budgets.

@Hoggie  -  The Q has so many free shipping days or free shipping flash deals.  I try to do my ordering on those days.  

 

I've never had an item take 2 or 3 weeks to arrive unless it's on a wait list.

 

I also try to wait until the product is on sale unless it's something I can't live without.
