I agree.  I think it would be nice if they would say where everything is made, personally.  Also, I like knowing the fabric of all clothing, and they should also make sure that when they present makeup and skin care,they state whether it is fragrance free --- and make sure a complete list of ingredients is listed on their web page. 


 

 

@AngelPuppy1   I don't think your wishes will be granted. If they gave that much info during a presentation, no one would order. After the item arrives, we have to check boxes, labels on garments, etc. Fabrics are usually listed online. Makeup and skincare ingredients are sometimes listed online, but not all of them and maybe reviews mention fragrance. As far as where items are made? Most items I bet come from overseas. Very little is made here any more.

I agree with all of you.  I know HSN does speak more about where things are made.

Such as Bali pieces , Himalayan gems, stuff like that.  I always try to pay attention and buy american made anything (but also purchase to help those people).   Recently I purchased a handmade cotton wreath on Etsy from an american artist.  Paid a little more but I don't mind, I feel gratitude to the talented people working hard in this country.

But yes, we should be given the information of where items are made!

I realize this doesn't completely let me off the hook conscience-wise, but without those low-payig jobs these people would have no jobs.

I know. But they talk, and talk -- and a lot of times they don't even get to the basics because they are just talking silly stuff and have no time left for the useful stuff!  Basic information is key to making your decisions.  I have declined to order things because not enough info was given and I don't want the hassle of all the returns.

It is such a shame that QVC is not transparent about where they get their products from.  Just stating Imported isnt enough.  I asked CS and they said that they are not aware where it it imported from.  Plausible deniability.   One CS repmtold me that most of their products come from China.  Then I started looking at all my purchases from QVC, HSN, Amazon, Walmart and sure enough, the tag Made in China!  So I have been asleep at the wheel, but now I am WOKE!  I closed my HSN account of more than 20 years and will do so with this one.   It is really amazing how many things we have that comes from China!  No more in this household!  Good luck everyone I. These trying times!

Count on it.  China has overtaken us with our blessing!  Hopefully these vendors will bring their manufacturing back to America!  Lug?  Ami and Jason?  Temptations? Denim. & Co and so on?

That's great!  I want to support the individuals, not the country paying their workers very low and keeping it for themselves!  China is communist rule which means your money goes to the ruling class, not the true artisans that make your product.
