@Puppy Lips.  You have misinterpreted the price adjustment policy.  I've gotten several since it went into effect.

 

The only thing that is exempt are "clearance" prices.  Many items are marked "sale price" and you can get an adjustment if your item is now in this category.


@Kachina624 I thought that is what I wrote - that the only time I can get a price adjustment is if I bought it at the regular price and it is now on "sale."

@MezzieStarr Thanks for the definition. I don't know for sure,but I'll bet that would drive the price up.

Every few years I read a post like this and I just shake my head and laugh.

 

The issue is NOT QVC, it is the customer who does not know how to shop well for bargains.

 

I shop everywhere, and have done so for decades, and in my opinion QVC has some very great prices.  My budget can be from $1.00 to $1000.00, but I used to spend more on career clothes, such as silk suits, wool blazers, etc. However, they were not trendy clothes, and would last forever.  I also like cocktail dresses and sequin gowns for cruises and other special events.

 

 

QVC is always my go-to for casual clothes.

 

 

How to save money on QVC shopping?

 

1. Put items of interest in your wishlist and monitor the prices regularly.

 

2. Shop off-season -buy Winter clothes in Summer, and vice-versa.

 

3. Don't be afraid of "as-is"--QVC often puts surplus items in this category, not just returns.

 

4. Know your size in different brands, then do a search starting with cheapest to highest price to see what you might like and what is available in your size.

 

5. Shop the Lunch time and Prime time specials.

 

6. Wait for free shipping days.

 

7. Visit a QVC outlet.

 

8. Don't buy new clothes that come on the air at full price unless you MUST have them--the price will go down in a month or two. 

 

 

Just for an example, I just bought the dress below this week from QVC for only $12.70 on the free shipping day. Great for picnics, swimsuit cover-up, sleeping, etc.

I guess the best way would be NOT to buy.

The other prob is that most people believe that they get what they pay for so sales would suffer,even more than they are suffering now.

@Group 5 minus 1 I agree. Anything that's "better for you" is always going to cost you more.

QVC used to offer a lot of TSV's at Christmas time for reasonably priced sets of items such as kitchen shears, flashlights, ornaments, etc.  They were items you could afford and separate for gifts.  And it was always a good time to stock up if it was items you had purchased before.  Seems everytime I think to look at the TSV now it's vacuum cleaners, mattresses, blenders, or hair care tools.  Did I see a $500 TSV on a hair styler system the other day?
