I realize prices are going up everywhere but sadly i can no longer buy any fashion,accessories etc from qvc. The prices are insane these days. I may be passing by and something catches my eye but its typically priced so high plus tax and shipping...i could never justify spending so much on one garment. I just saw a cotton plain blouse for $100??. With many people doing on line shopping instead of going to stores these days and money being tight for many people, its just my opinion that someone should revisit the pricing. Hopefully QVC will listen to customers. This could be a good shopping option for convenience and safety but not at those prices.I enjoy watching less these days and sadly no buying for me.

@lablove1  - I'm not desperate for anything anymore.  If it's something I really like, I simply put it in my wishlist and wait for the price to go down.

 

Sometimes it does, sometimes by the time it does, they no longer have the size or color I want.  But a lot of times I get a real bargain doing this.

 

And, if you can catch it on a free shipping day, even better!  This applies to everything, not just clothes.

Thanks for your suggestion.  Like you, I'm not desperate for anything but it is just shocking to see how their prices have increased so much.  It's sad to see what's going on with malls etc in this country these days, I would think QVC would take advantage of that  and really try to entice customers to buy with real sale prices and free shipping, especially since many of us are home more often these days.

If you are not watching as much then you probably have not noticed that the higher prices are only for a limited number of brands. Keep the faith. Things are not as bad as you think they are.Smiley Happy

I dipped in to the Q  hour ago and it was Logo.  Unbelievable 'get-ups' - a top xxx no perhaps a dress xxxx - not sure what it was; but had at least 9 - 12 different fabrics/colors stitched together for $79 range.  That would round off to $100 w/ s&h.

 

I ordered two fab the best flannel - -  shirts from L L Bean today for $59 each with free shipping.

..................LOGO  where do these didn't sell odd-ball outfits go ?     And all the sizes small to 5X of each and every one of these designs?

I understand what you are saying.  Suggestion: today there were so many great stores that had 40% off plus free shipping ( for me, it was Chico's ).  And, if you went to the store's website from Rakuten, it was an additional 12% back from Rakuten.

 

Another suggestion, local for you there must be a consignment or upscale thrift store.  When we snowbird in FL, I find accessories and tops for peanuts.  Some still have the tags on them.  And, when we stop in Ft. Myers, there is the huge flea market, Fleamaster's.  All my long tank dresses both at home and in FL come from there...think $20 each.   When I wear them shopping at the upscale Dillard's department store, I am often stopped by the cashiers there who compliment me on the dresses.

 

When I tell where I got them and the price, they find it hard to believe.  

DH has so many great looking golf shirts and Bermuda shorts in FL:  all from thrift shops, some with original tags, all highly recognizable rand names !

 

Point: wherever you are, there a bargains and phenomenal pieces to suit budgets...ask around and, of course, check Google.

I really don't need any clothing and even if something catches my eye I am not buying for the sake of buying. Used to be oh that's cute and hit speed buy. No more. Don't need Christmas stuff, kitchen stuff or really anything. Need has taken over want/like, and it's not price, I just don't like much of anything. I don't care if its 80% off, no sale.  Happy with that I already have.

@RealtyGal2 I watch periodically and noticed prices on all the lines have gone up but thanks for the positive words.

@fthunt Honestly i don't care for LOGO fashion.  Just my opinion.  

I've gotten some nice things on Amazon despite some negative things i've read about the quality. I'll stick to that. There are alot of retailers I've discovered on line shopping that offer much better prices, coupons etc.  I used to enjoy QVC because you get a better description of things than you do on line shopping but that doesn't justify the prices for me.

Does QVC care if some people can no longer afford their increased pricing?  Don't expect price drops.

 

There are many other retailers more competitive and very happy to have you as a customer.
