Q Talk

The shipping prices at QVC are out of control. How can they consider $6.72 shipping any type of value? Doesn't QVC see the competition out there? More and more companies are offering FREE or even reduced shipping. With the tax and shipping charges from QVC, it often adds $10 to the price of the item, no longer a value! They need to take a look at their charges and really make some big changes. I would buy so many more items from QVC if the shipping wasn't so unreasonable!

Last I saw, 60,000 of the tsv were sold. Not likely anything will change on the q side with those numbers.

I agree CorTorr.....so many other online retailers have free or reduced shipping these days (and not just for Christmas either). I have read QVC's quarterly financial results (published on their parent company's website and in financial journals too) and it appears that shipping and handling is important to QVC's profits.....Interesting note their shopping channel competitors have offered special deals on shipping and their net sales beat QVC's......4% versus 7% for the 3rd quarter.....perhaps if QVC concentrated on offering a bigger VARIETY of products/programming they wouldn't have to rely so much on shipping charges....JMHO

Leah just said they sold 33,000 pair so far. That was at the end of her show. 66,000 if you count each shoe individually. Lol. I figure as long as S&H is a profit center for them, they will continue the way they are going. QVC is kind of like the Fingerhut of TV shopping now.

I have one gray cat, but he is outnumbered by all the Torties. So, my house, the Torties rule! Lol.

I like em in all colors, shapes and sizes. Just happens the one that's been living here for 17 years, is gray. He is so sweet, I can't stand it.

I really don't care what shipping is. I add that to the price then see if I can get it cheaper or if it is still a great dealt. If the price is twenty dollars less then retail then you still getting a good price even with shipping. What if they added seven dollars to the price and said free shipping what would you think then.

I love animals and in particular felines....and one of my favorites was a dear Tortie ....she had a really sweet personality......she lived a long and happy life...
