No need for QVC to learn anything.

 

Qurate owns both companies....they are choosing to do this at HSN for some reason.

 

Maybe to boost sales.

 

 

HSN does NOT do FREE even exchanges for color or size like QVC does.  You have to pay the return shipping which is even higher than QVC.

 

Maybe HSN should learn from them!   LOL

 

QVC has the EZ return system also so credits ARE applied in a couple days.  NO need to wait.

 

If you are waiting months still for a credit, you are NOT using the EZ return system they set in motion a while back.


@RespectLife  HSN does do Free Exchanges -- they just started this month.  It's not just a birthday month gimmick, they claim it's permanent like QVC (well, as permanent until either decide it's not working for them). 

 

What I've always heard though (I cannot attest to it personally) was that exchanges for both companies was always free.  If you called them and explained you wanted a change, their customer service detailed the swap directions, and didn't charge a s/h fee.  

 

Seems to me it's more of a marketing ploy to merely announce it for all, and not a Call Me kind of transaction.  


 

 

Well THAT figures @Caaareful Shopper    LOL

 

I DID call, several times because I thought I was just getting a 'bad' CS rep.

I explained the garments were not sized properly...they did NOT care.

All three told me there was nothing they could do.

 

I could either pay retn shipping to get a better size OR lose return shipping AND original shipping and just return.

 

I tried G by Guili and Diane Gelman  and some Wyman? I think....absolutely did NOT match the size chart at all.  I got skunked for the retn shipping to get a smaller size.

 

Many of the items I tried were horrible quality...esp G by G

 

Received previous returns that were defective....

 

I was so fed up, I unsubscribed, paid off my HSN card and will never order again.  Don't care what they offer....

 

I was a devout shopper there when Tina was honking her horn.....but started receiving dime store junk and stopped for dozens of years.

 

Received Lancome eye makeup remover than literally had things floating in it....had to call and actually fuss to get a FULL retund.  I even sent them pictures.

 

Just gave them another try couple months ago....Nope ....not the place for me.

@RespectLife   I have heard the Hosts on HSN mention Free Exchanges recently. It is on their main Web Page as well. I  have never tried it. I used Qs a few times and it took a month for a size exchange.

 

Free shipping on HSN until October is hard to believe that one unless for certain customers? 


 

 

Thanks @Gorgf 

 

My orders were a couple months ago and I have since unsubscribed......

Re: HSN Free Shipping through Oct.!

I didnt get the email, and I am a good HSN CC customer, I pay in full so I have no clue what their interest rate is and it makes no difference to me. I would love to have that offer.

HSN now offers the same free exchanges as Q.

Re: HSN Free Shipping through Oct.!

Thanks @Shelbelle 

 

Others did mention HSN is now doing free even exchanges....but for me....too late!  LOL

 

I got burned and have deleted them from my shopping list!

 

 

The thing is...I DID look online at their policies.....back before I ordered since I had never ordered clothes from them.

 

I didn't assume they were the same as Q at all.

 

To me, the written policy made it seem as if you DID get free even exchanges.  It was worded as such.

 

I pointed the wording out to the CS reps.....didn't care.
