Agreed---QVC has a block about what a real sale is----for me, taking a measly few bucks off something doesn't make me want to buy ----especially ,by the time my sales tax and s/h fees kick in, I've paid just the same if not more.

I've noticed that a lot of the discount amounts are 9%. Really? You can't even make it 10%?

QVC has been doing these small dollar markdowns for many years. I've seen some better sale prices the past few years.
I still think it makes more sense to do deeper discounts on existing inventory. There's such a huge markup in clothing that I would think they could still make a profit. Lots of other retailers seem to be able to have good sale prices. Makes more sense to me than keeping all that stuff in inventory.
Have a Good Weekend!

I get more excited on free shipping day than marking a few dollars off something.
If I really want something, I'll buy it. If it's something I can wait on, I'll add it to Wish List and watch it.

Sometimes I wonder if there is a method to their madness. By putting it on "sale" for a few dollars, that prevents it from being eligible for using a (rare) coupon. It also exempts it from any possible 30-day price adjustments. So these tiny sales end up saving money for Q.

Their clothes are so high I shop elsewhere. Just got a PeaceLoveWorld dress for $22 & free shipping. It was $59 +$3.50 on Q. Also got a handbag & my favorite cleanser. $48 on the website & I paid $7.50 & free ship.

Ha...you are so right. Also,I have notice the TSV is maybe $5 off regular price but you also pay S&H. So if you wait for a free shipping day (and get to see reviews on the item so a dud which is most of the time) you dont pay S&H and then pay like $1.50 more for the item but likely to keep based on reviews so dont pay return S&H

Retail understands everybody wants to buy something on sale. To satisfy, they give these cheesy few dollar "sale" prices.
I consider a sale 50% or 75% after July 4. Or big deal, they offer buy two or more with $3. off. It doesn't even cover S&H.
All and many more "tricks of the trade."
