Hi,

Anyone know about upcoming Free Ship Days?

There's items I want to buy, but don't want to pay $11 shipping for 2 items.

Thanks

I get not wanting to pay the shipping on NON- free shipping days...

What I DON'T get is why people think Q will announce in advance a free shipping day....the customers will wait to buy,and sales would drop.

They bank on more people really wanting the product, right now. So what if there's shipping?  Buy it now before it sells out!!!! 

I can't see them EVER announcing it in advance. It doesn't make business sense.

Or they would do it!!!!

You sound angry, I hope not at my question. If there was anything I posted which was offensive please tell me. 🤷‍♀️

I've heard them anounce Free Ship weekends before, they've done that for a long time. 

Not unusual at all. There are posters that know TSV's or other brands upcoming specials and pass them on a bit earlier than the show, which has been helpful and lovely.

I stand by my question, Anyone know of upcoming Free Ship Days?

Sorry...no not angry at your post....

From what I hear while watching Q or H, they usually annouce the free shipping on the first day of the offer of free shipping  ( IE: on a Friday they say "Free Shipping today!!! and this weekend until Sunday midnight....with much fanfare....)

I thought you meant, for example, them announcing today, say, that next weekend will be a free shipping promotion....I've never heard that...have you?

I agree there are some posters who seem to have inside info ( on the Beauty forum for instance)...but if they ARE insiders at Q, they are probably limited to what they can say, and I would think it's just to goose sales.....

@skittles2  I have seen where FREE shipping has been mentioned and that was in the Drop Spot, which is on the QVC app. There is new information every Monday on the Drop Spot and the last one I saw was not long ago when it was FREE shipping for all beauty items. Sometimes it is for other things or all things.

And sometimes on the front screen of the QVC website, they will show various categories that have FREE shipping for that particular day. For instance, all electronics.

PLUS, if you live on the West Coast, you know at 9:00pm the day before if the next day is going to be a FREE shipping day, because anything new for the day starts at Midnight Eastern time, which is 9:00 on the West Coast.

Also, I have heard hosts say something like "this is the last FREE shipping day for the year." I'm not sure, but I think it was Amy who said that last month, when there was still a week or two of the month left. That was helpful for me to know to go ahead and order then rather than thinking I had more chances of a FREE shipping day last month.

Sure hope you save on that $11 shipping. It all adds up, right?

@Othereeeen 

Ah, I understand, and you're right about them announcing Free Ship weekend, etc.

Even though they haven't done it, and won't unless some Surprise pops up, today, this weekend I guess, is LocknLock's 25th Anniversary.

I would've thought they'd have FS.

I order 2 items which had $11 Shipping total, I didn't pay attention to the shipping thinking it was free, I went to order 2 different items, again w/$11 shipping. It hit me four item s w/$22 dollars in Shipping.

I stopped the order and cancelled the ones in progress.

Too much, at least for me.

Thanks for explaining, and I apologized for say 'you sound angry'. that wasn't very polite.🌻

@skittles2   Maybe they will have it during ITKWD this weekend? That would make sense

@World Traveler 

WOW! I've never heard of Drop Spot. It's only on the app by phone, or is ipad also included? I'm  usually on my macbook air so I forget about app having better deals sometimes.

I live on the East Coast, literally a few hours from the wonderful Atlantic Ocean, and home state of the Blue Crab!

Maybe that's where I've seen posts about FS- from those west coasters giving their east coast family a heads up!

Thanks🌻

I didn't think of that, hopefully they'd have the sales too!

I’m guessing free ship tomorrow when the TSV is the Lazy Boy or the next holiday weekend Martin Luther King Day. They like to do them on the long holiday weekends. 🤗
