Easy pay.....no thanks. I really don’t want to be paying until next Christmas in July for something I barely remember.

You can pay off an easy pay balance anytime you want to.

@kitcat51   Yes, so what's the point of big deal e/p? I'd rather have free ship & free returns. It can cost upwards of $12 to try something out and have nothing to keep.

@mmm12.  People don't realize how dependent QVC is on the profits from shipping bolstering their bottom line.  There have been occasions when shipping profits made the difference between operating in the black or red.  You really can't compare QVC's retail operation to that of a b&m store.  It's much more complex with many expenses that a store doesn't have.

This logic only goes so far to when they DO offer free shipping and the prices DONT increase. Happened many times over the holidays... so clearly they are able to keep current prices and offer free ship. Most online large retailers offer free ship (some with minimum purchase); it's almost insulting that a non-brick & morter would charge for shipping nowadays.

The increase in sales volume over the holidays allows QVC to offer free shipping several times during that period while maintaining profits.  Nothing "insulting" about it.

Yes, I’d rather have free shipping..... easy pay does not entice me!!!👎

[this is my nic]

EZ pay = indentured servitude to QVC.  I admit to using ez pay for Christmas, some gifts, some decorations.  When I finish paying those off, I hope not to use ez pay again.

Yup, I'm still paying down my Q Card Easy-Pays! Got myself caught in that trap but I WILL be paying off my large balance in this new year!! Then the challenge (for me) will be not using that Q Card anymore!! LOL!!

That is really not my problem, for my bottom line I need to get the best deal for my money.

@QVCkitty1.  Nobody said it was a problem, but it's a reality.  Go find the best deal you can.  You pay for the convenience of shopping on TV.
