Why, oh why, are people buying shoes on QVC?

$43 dollars more on the Q & I actually purchased mine for around $50- $134 on QVC

Shop around people! QVC could easily offer their shoes for a lot less considering the volume!

Re: Why, oh why, are people buying shoes on QVC?

I can tell you that for me it is a convenience factor. Also, they carry much more variety in both size and color. Clarks for example - I have tried their stores and can't find anywhere near the color selection that QVC offers. To me it's worth it to pay a bit more if I can get the color I want and the wide width.

I buy when I like a shoe and it comes in my size. I have trouble finding shoes that come in Wide and those that do are often sold out. Unbelievably most shoes I have purchased from the Q fit me! I can't say very many shoes at the mall fit me even if I try them on. I'm surprised too.

Absolutely agree with you. I've seen people post with a sort of strange pride that they've never, ever shopped with anyone other than the Q online. I just shake my head, it's like, why would you want to advertise the fact that you are perfectly fine with getting ripped off on certain items? Like the Q is going to make them a honorary mascot or something.

But - very cute sandals and what an amazing savings you got! Enjoy! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I shop around online and usually end up with the same item on Amazon

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I think that they are not aware of the great alternatives.

I think it's because of the 30 day return policy. Wear them around, etc. No questions asked, I believe.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Some people, like most cats, despise change of any kind.

I'll tell you why I buy shoes on the Q. They carry many in size 5 which is VERY hard or impossible to find anywhere else. No shoe store I have been to in years carries this size ( and will not order them) and even on line they start shoes at size 6 or they sell out of my size in an instant! Thank you QVC!

Re: Why, oh why, are people buying shoes on QVC?

I've bought shoes on Amazon and have gotten some that look semi-used. I think they're shoes that are shop worn and can't be sold in stores. My last order consisted of two right shoes and beat-up ones at that. Tissue paper all crumbled and no stuffing in the shoe.
