On 3/11/2015 handygal said: There have been probably hundreds of complaints here on many different threads in the past several weeks, as the reality of this new $3 shipping scheme takes hold. An even worse risk now is buying a handbag. You can lose as much as $22.00 if you want to return one. That's insane! This new policy will come back to "bite" them.
I hope it does come back to "bite" them....Who knew that a retailer would actually institute a $10 "try me out fee" as I like to call it......

Plain and simple: QVC's 'try it on' fees of $10 per garment and $12 per pair of shoes have curtailed my purchases.

Shipping is not free. Packaging costs money. Labor costs money. Shipping costs money. Insurance costs money. Nothing is free.
If someone purchases something, why should they not expect to pay to have it shipped to them. If they change their mind, why should they not pay to ship it back? On what planet is it fair to expect the company to refund all shipping, thereby passing the costs onto other shoppers?
When it comes to clothing items, I do think it is incumbent on QVC to ensure accurate measurements are provided. After that, though, ll responsibility falls upon the purchaser. If one is "hard to fit," perhaps online sopping is not the best option. If one does not like the color because it looks different on television, then they should accept the fact they were wrong and, at minimum, pay to ship it back.
I just do not understand why so many people seem to think it is any way fair or proper for others to ultimately pay more for an individual's lack of decisiveness or willpower. It just makes no sense.

No such thing as "free" shipping.
One may not "pay" for it up front, but you can bet your sweet bippy, that the cost of pulling the item, packaging it, putting it in to a box, putting all the info on the box, IS being paid, by you, the consumer. It's just built in to the price of the item.

On 3/15/2015 Plaid Pants said:Probably so, but even then, the price is still LOWER then the item price on Q for the same item BEFORE the shipping fee!! Besides, they have promotions all the time. I get $70 off $150 so I'm paying on average $20/item and free shipping plus free return to the store. Still much better deals!On 3/15/2015 tough_kitty said:On 3/11/2015 KYToby said:Shipping IS free on Amazon, Onlineshoes, Zappos, Macys, NY&Co, Lowe's, and many more..... so I guess it IS possible.I am just curious.

The Q does have to make some kind of split with Philosophy; it's not all theirs.

Back to the mall you go? I never would give up the mall for QVC or any other mail order store. No way!
