Re: Free Shipping and handling?

@pripirt - Prices fluctuate all the time, with all retailers.

 

You got a special deal on that bag, but you can't expect it to stay at that price permanently.  QVC is generally very clear, when offering special pricing.  OTO, TDO, etc.  Most customers are aware of what that means.

 

Just because of this one incident you're citing, it doesn't mean that everything is put up in price to cover "free shipping" promotions.

 

I do wish people would stop making untrue claims like this.  Clearly, others have had very different experiences - myself included.

 

So, to answer your question... "free shipping and handling"?  Yes!

You don't really believe that QVC raised the price from $109 to $199 to cover 'free shipping' do you?

 

$90 to cover what, $12 shipping? I don't.

Re: Free Shipping and handling?

Every where you shop the prices go up and down.  Grocery store is the biggest place I see it.  

I have been shopping around and taking advantage of special pricing, free shipping and coupons and will even go to store and pick up and get a gift card.  The thrill of the hunt I guess.

 

I purchased a couple items elsewhere recently and better price than the Q because of the coupons and on sale at the store.  Exact same items.  The Q price was good but I just found better.

Sometimes it is worth the wait for Lunchtime specials.  I purchased a few weeks ago two sweaters cheaper than what I paid for the one.  I snatched those up because I really liked them but also got a different size and fit even better.  So live and learn.  

I love Kim's line but too spendy for me to just buy right now.  I am busy with gifts and don't need the clothes.  After holidays there will be plenty of bargains locally or just check Lunchtime and a prime time.

 

The Q is really going all out pushing the holiday stuff.  If I watch long enough they just might talk me into more gifts to give.  Lol.

Re: Free Shipping and handling?

I did and then I bought a second bag in a different color a month later.  Up till last week it was the same price, $109.00.  I understand that this maybe only one example and if

others are truly getting shipping for free I'm glad for them.
