Re: Do you watch less QVC than you used to and why?

@GinaV24 

 

You had what I call an "OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WILL YOU ***SHUT UP***!!!!" moment!!

 

When the high speed jabber gibberish and the obvious forced mirth intersect with the searing pain in my head and ears...that's what I say as I slam the VOLUME button to the Off position on the remote.

 

TOO MUCH.

Way less.  The reasons are the hosts & the prices.

Re: Do you watch less QVC than you used to and why?

I haven't watched lately  (really any Spring)  I don't watch gardening stuff and for the house stuff.  Usually clothing and jewelry is what I watch.  Everything else I avoid.

Re: Do you watch less QVC than you used to and why?

Have been a QVC member since the very, very beginning and it used to be on one of our tvs what seems like now - all of the time.  I could tell you all the hosts life stories (and some were truly soap operas).

 

However, I don't think I have seen one minute of broadcast in the past twenty years - don't even know the channel number anymore.  If I saw something being sold as I passed through the channels, I would think " that is a shopping channel I used to watch ". 

 

Nothing against QVC, I guess I just outgrew it or something.

I do check in at midnight ( 9 PM here) to see the special value but that is about it. I just never seem to find anything that I really need or want anymore. I'm not really sure why, I guess maybe I have too much stuff already!

Re: Do you watch less QVC than you used to and why?

I watch way less, in fact hardly at all. I got tired of the hosts shrill voices, saying they just LOVE and use every product they present then in the next show say how much they LOVE and use a similar product by a different brand. I got tired of ordering clothing only having to pay to return it because the host and brand rep were to busy gushing over something that had nothing to do with sizing, and I can get free shipping and much faster delivery and lower prices with other retailers. I'm also over hearing stories about families, when I go into a brick and mortar store none of the stafff is yammering on about dead relatives.

Re: Do you watch less QVC than you used to and why?

I don't watch QVC as much as I used to.  I don't relate to the brands they sell, especially in fashion.  I agree many important facts are omitted by the hosts.  They just keep teling where the items can be worn, not sizing  that is important when  return costs are high.  I can't buy shoes

there anymore,  too expensive to pay both ways. I used to buy Denim & co but they are way overpriced so I wear what I have or shop elsewhere.  Mostly when I watch I mute the TV. Too much silliness going on.  The hosts are all very interested in themselves and being sillier than  an other host.

Re: Do you watch less QVC than you used to and why?

I watch. I order a lot. And I send a lot back.

There is no "value" in much of the Q pricing. I often find the same items on Amazon cheaper. Only reasons I continue shopping Q is convenience and easy pay!

 

Most purchased items are Skechers, Clarks, Belle, Laurie Felt (sadly no longer available), Renee Goldstein. I know my size and it thrills me to not have to go to the mall. I never order plants. Never order food. Sent every Breezies item I ever ordered back.

I watch much less of QVC because I can find many of the same items on Amazon at a much lesser cost - and the shipping is faster.

'Oh, I don't know'.......Seems to me that, say, LOGO and D&Co. (among other popular brands) have been offering quite a few new, 'different' styles, prints, etc. 

 

Take a look at the new items recently shown.  

 

Sometimes we (including myself) miss those particular live shows and newer items.

 

 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
