@Tori3569   If you order a decent amount from QVC during the year $140 for s/h would not go very far.  We order a fair amount from Amazon, always quick free shipping and other perks for being a Prime subscriber.  Well worth it to us and something QVC should have done years ago.

 

 


@kaydee50  If QVC started charging $140 to shop on their site I would not be shopping here.  If the Q started charging as Amazon does and you have Prime you would be paying $280 just to shop.  No thanks.  As far as I know, Amazon is the only company charging a fee to shop.

We have been Prime members for years.  We get 4 or 5 Amazon deliveries a week.  Clothing, books, toiletries, large planters, food and vitamins. We also purchased large, raised planters delivered right to our backyard .Our membership more than pays for itself.

 

Just today, my husband got a book and I got a new pair of Sloggers for working in the garden. They were ordered on Tuesday, can't beat it.  It also saves gas since I don't have to run to the store every time we need something.  We do occasionally have a return, but they are easy peasy at our local Whole Foods store.  

Lastly, we use a credit card (I think it's Chase) where we get 5% back on every Amazon and Foods purchase, so it helps overall.

@Biftu   How much do you pay in s/h, returns to shop here?  Just curious.


@kaydee50  In over thirty years shopping here I have made maybe two returns.  Not even close to $140 a year in s/h.


So I assume you only shop when there is free shipping--smart move!

If you had gone online instead of calling and started your return under "returns made easy" you would have received a QR code which functions the same way as Amazon's.   You can then just show it at the UPS store and they address it from there.   I've gotten my refunds within a day under that process.   

Since I assume you're returning them as damaged, you would need to call after the fact to get the shipping fees refunded too. 

Also keep in mind that Amazon Prime is now $139.99 for the year.  


@Tori3569,  I save more than that in free books alone.  In addition, free shipping, fast delivery and other Prime perks makes the cost more than reasonable.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

@Blondie59  Wow, guess for heavy shoppers like you it may be worth it.  I got a $200 Amazon gift card for Christmas and other than buying batteries and a pair of knitting needles, I've yet to find anything to purchase.

I won't be buying Skechers anymore. Wrong usual size, received in bag & smashed box, returned, and received back taking a month. 

What is happening?

@Pearlsgirls


In December I ordered 4 pairs of sweatpants for my Husband from Amazon.


He really likes them. A couple weeks ago i noticed they were at a lower sale price. so I ordered 3 more pairs. ONLY one pair was Brand New and the other 2 had been used. 😝





I watch Instagram’s Amazon Hauls. One of them showed under cabinet lightening.


Just so happens those type of lights are a TSV today on QVC.



Well I ordered 2 sets of them in Black. One box was Brand New and the other must have been a return, because the holes were already made on the back side of the lights. 🥴




Nope Sorry but Amazon is not that Amazing. 🥴

The Chase deal for 5% back from Amz was only from Apr 1 to June 30, it is not a forever thing, wish it was
