QVC RAISES PRICES ON CLEARANCE ITEMS AGAIN

I just checked my wish list items.   Some prices raised - some dropped.   I get whiplash from these pricing changes.   I just don't get the concept of constant changing prices especially on clearance prices!  A pair of Sam Edelman jeans have been sale priced at $69.98 plus free shipping.  They are now still tagged as clearance but are now $73.48 plus $3.50 shipping

I've noticed that in the past too.  I wanted to buy some tops but waited for clearance or price drop.  I'd check the tops when QVC had free shipping.  The shipping was waived only to have the price of the garment go up.  So, all they really did was put the shipping into the cost of the top.

Shop HQ is doing the same thing.  The started some Close Out program Monday nights with accompanying web pages.  I bought a few items dirt cheap, including a One World top for 6 dollars and some change.  It is now 13 something.  Other items included in that order, knife sharpeners, were also raised.  Ho hum, I won't be back.

They play with prices all the time.  Nothing new.

@ScrapHappy ,

 

I've noticed that as well ....

 

I purchased a pair of D&C clearance pants yesterday ,today I noticed they're $1.50 more. 

Maybe the Q wants to hang on to the clearance items a bit longer ,even tho the Hosts tell us they have to move clearance items out to make room for the new things ?...

It seems many things have had a price increase .

 

Although not on clearance , I purchased A397527,JR crinkle texture short sleeve top last month for$56.66 . It is a very nice ,good quality top . Yesterday the price increased to $59.49 ;with S&H plus Tx it would be close to $70...  I'm sure I won't be buying another one soon.

Maybe we're getting close to another FREE SHIPPING DAY ...Cat LOL

I've shopped here since the mid-90's and noticed that QVC seems to really dislike giving their customers any real break on the pricing..... of anything!  I hate playing those games so I tend not to, or not pay attention.

All regular priced items on my wishlist increased this morning. Guess it’s a good thing because I need to cut back on buying clothing anyway.

Prices on most of the things in my wishlist went up.  I've never known a retailer before QVC putting the price on clearance items up.  Once something is marked down for clearance it should just keep dropping until it's sold out.

 

With QVC it's up, it's down, it's up...it's crazy.

@Teddixat   I feel your whiplash for sure. They jack up what they call typical retail only to be able to jack up their own price in order to jack up the clearance price. I hope they feel good with themselves doing all this price gouging.

Re: QVC RAISES PRICES ON CLEARANCE ITEMS AGAIN

Last weekend with free shipping I purchased Women With Control Prime Stretch Crops A398581.  The price was $44.98.

 

Today, a week later they're $51.97.    Wow, not just a dollar or two jump, but a $7.00 increase in price of item, plus now the $3.50 extra charge for s&H.   So today they cost $10.50 more than 1 week ago.  I think that amount of an increase in 1 week is ridiculous.
