I agree with what everyone else is saying....
1. QVC's higher prices
2. expensive returns
3. more interest in shopping local
4. free shipping all over the internet
5. the annoying hosts
6. massive inflation
7. the deceptive things they do--- not indicating something is an advance order in the presentation
I used to order so many things, several times a week, for years. It is actually a running joke in the family. However, last month, I decided to stop ordering... Just stop and I didn't miss it. As a matter of fact, I like not keeping an eye out for packages!
Full disclosure-- I ordered a couple kim gravel things this weekend. Two tops, a pair of pants and a jacket for spring. The free shipping was a motivating factor. However, random free shipping on one or two items per show is not enough, especially if I don't want the actual item.
I still watch but much less than before. I turn the chanel more because the hosts are SO ANNOYING. I get so sick of hearing how many items have sold, the phones are on fire, and how many of each color is left. They don't review the items very well. Sometimes items will be sold out before they even show all the colors. They don't let the vendors talk. They repeat the same catch phrases over and over. Some of them are so fake in their shock and delight of items and prices. It actually insults my intelligence at times.
I think the beauty and skincare items are a good deal, BUT I can't commit to super sizes anymore.
I've enjoyed not ordering! And I am plan to continue to pull back from QVC. I think they are stuck in an old mdel that doesn't work for me anymore and need to work on a few things to get me back regularly ordering. It will be nice once I get the orders and can go back to not expecting anything. LOL.
