Re: Prices for certain items

@Razzy 7 - I've never assumed any retailer (online or B&M) has the cheapest price.

 

I've always comparison shopped.  Sometimes a retailer may have a higher price, but include accessories that another retailer does not.  So I take all that into account.  I also consider the convenience of having something delivered to my door, if I don't want to go out to the stores.

 

Smart shoppers do their research before buying.

Re: Prices for certain items

At one time I used to think the Q had the better price but have not thought that for a very long time.  Once you start shopping around you realize that.  I use to never shop Amazon and had no idea how it worked until my daughter opened my eyes.

 

Best to shop around for sure.

Re: Prices for certain items

Inquiring minds would like to know the item number please.

 

At times QVC lists variations of model numbers.  To muddy the waters.

Re: Prices for certain items

I ALWAYS check the prices for any item I might be interested in. And more times than not, I have found the same thing for much lower and free shipping and returns. I especially check for free returns---makes me crazy to have to pay $7 to return somthing--especially for something that is $25 or below---thats basically 1/3 of what I paid for it! But have to say that sometimes---like the Ninja outdoor grill I bought from HSN---they did have the best price anywhere.

Re: Prices for certain items

Yes I tried to initiate a return via qvc website. That was 1st thing I did. I also called customer service to see if I could get one emailed. But like I said they told me to pay for shipping myself. I sure never would go pay 39.00 to ship something without trying to get a label from qvc or hsn 1st

Re: Prices for certain items

BTW, this is not the 1st time I couldn’t get a return label, especially from HSN. But I never had a big box to return before. That is a reason I don’t order as much as I used to.
I always check prices on Google. A lot of times I find items for same or cheaper with free s&h returns

@mittie - I think some of us would be interested to know what the actual item was (if it's not too personal), just so we know what (or which vendor) to avoid in future.
