I was looking through some VPH items and noticed a lot of items have $5 shipping and continued looking and a lot of things have $5 shipping. Did anyone see anything posted about it? Good time to buy things!

I saw too... looks like QVC finally got the memo and lowered the shipping. Way to go Q!

I did notice that all the items in the Just Reduced Clearance have either $3.00 or $5.00 shipping.

I have to wonder though. Will items that are not on clearance that normally have $5.97 or $6.97 shipping now be $6.00 and $7.00 shipping?

Or ~~~ will every item just have a couple of dollars tacked onto the price?

I thought I was just sleepy, but many of the items on the Monday morning predawn Isaac show had $5 or free shipping. Maybe Q management is trying to slowly and quietly implement some new s&h practices. Not even counting other online and catalog retailers, their chief TV rivals (HSN and ShopHQ) are so far ahead of them in offering special s&h rates --or free, they have some catching up to do.

The price of the lit pedestals went up 64 cents, but the shipping is now $5 instead of $7.22. That's a net savings on that item. I wonder if QVC will still give 50% shipping savings on multiple quantities of the same item.

Some of the clothing items this morning had $3 shipping. About time.

Marsha in California, Thank you for the heads up on the s&h changes.

I'd like to know if this is temporary. If not, it will also be interesting to see if the prices continue to creep up to the point that the s&h savings is negated. If anyone knows the scoop, according to QVC, please post!

It's a nice savings on some larger/heavier items I've noticed. A few of Valerie's ottomans and furniture-like pieces, and the mirror centerpiece are a few examples that are a real savings over the previous s&h.

Another 64 cents! {#emotions_dlg.angry} How many times are these going to increase?!

As a test, I just added a brown and silver set of the pedestals to my cart, and the second set was 50% shipping.
