I see the outrage over the free shipping for new Customers.   What I find odd is that they are doing nothing about it.   This is the worst promotion I have seen any company ever do.  Giving free shipping once, twice, or 3 times is one thing.  Giving it for 31/2 months is beyond ridiculous.  I have 2 orders on the way and I will ship both back if nothing is done for us.   I have been here since say one.  Many of us are on fixed incomes and are hurting with this Recession, but only new customers get help??  Sorry QVC you should be ashamed of yourselves.

@BalletBabe    Have you noticed the new announcement the host makes after announcing free shipping?  Shell say something like, "Old customers, we're going to have something really special for you too."

I bet meetings we're held hot and heavy at QVC yesterday trying to compensate for this travesty.

@Kachina624    I haven't watched to be honest.  I am fed up with it.  I watched Kathy and would have bought something from her show but I won't pay shipping.  No Way!

Am I missing something?? I thought it was a ONE TIME free shipping that is for new customer s and that the offer ends in December. Not free shipping for three months for all new customers. Thats insane.

@ellaphant    You are mistaken.  Its for free shipping for all purchases for a new customer through January 31st.  Join now and get free shipping for 3 1/2 months.

As a long-time Q customer myself it kinda ticks me off too. So have they said any more about what us "old customers" may get?

If (a big if) I was going to order something, the $3.50 or $5.50 shipping wouldn't break me, but it's definitely the principle here.

@Shanus  Exactly but I a lot of times order more then one thing for Holidays.  5:50 a piece 3 items is 16:50.  Why should they get that for free and I have to pay when I have spent thousands here over the years

[FLgardener]

@Trinity11 , Yes, and if it is the shipping cost that breaks the deal, then I have no business shopping at all.

I doubt QVC will change this policy now that it's in effect...I bet they got THOUSANDS of new first time customers if the ONE show I saw with David, a few hours long, and he ended with 4700 new customers.

If that was a three hour show , thats about 1560 new customers per hour or 38000 per day.

Two days of the weekend that's 76000 new first time shoppers.

If each spends 75.00 thats 2.9 million dollars in sales .

QVC goes to up to 100 Million homes on cable, streams also, you tube shows...think of the exposure!

Somehow I don't think what several hundred posters here harumphing about is going to make a bit of difference.

I could be wrong. But QVC learned when they wanted to shut down these boards. 

People still shopped on QVC and HSN.

That's ALL they really care about.

These boards are just a lot of hoo ha and a place to get customers TO the website, where presumeably they will shop and BUY!!!!
