@Reever I agree with you. If the hosts didn't get this as a perk I would be willing to bet they wouldn't spend the money either. This is called luxury pricing. They convince you the product is superior and price it accordingly. This is how they market luxury brands. It's a similar strategy.

 

Just a note. You got some interesting responses here. It seems you hit a nerve in a few of the posters.

@proudlyfromNJ Seafood prices have really risen locally.  I went in to get some salad shrimp last week & the price had risen 3 times from 2 weeks ago.  I like that QVC has lots of choices, prices, products so I can find what I want or not.

Well, we could always petition Q to going back to S&H being an add on instead of incorporated into the product price so we get "free" shipping and handling.

 

I estimate that would lower the price by a minimum of $18-20.

The eyes through which you see others may be the same as how they see you.

Cod, where I shop, is about $12 a lb----on sale maybe $10--Scallops used to be $29 a lb but now way higher---And halibut is sky high and I live in Wa state where I can get fresh seafood year round---- salmon is my go- to and can find sales -But everything is incredibly high ---and as for RD and his sales pitch---that is my first turn off----not a fan----
