Q Talk

[Cathyshopper]

I hate to complain, and I realize I don't have to shop here BUT ......I keep a pretty lengthy wishlist (mainly fashion or home decor) that I check every couple of days for any sales or price reductions.  About a week or so ago, I noticed many of my items had increased $2-4 in price, and have stayed there.  I was a bit irritated, but didn't comment at that time.  However, I checked again today to look at my fashion items because of the "free shipping over $75" deal.

Most of my items, including household, have AGAIN increased by $1-2 or more throughout my list.   Q, I know you have the right to price items however you choose, but please give your customers some credit for being smart shoppers.  I am not going to be placing a "free shipping" order today, when I can plainly see you've raised prices TWICE in the past few weeks to more than cover for that.

Please price items ($35 for a tee - nah...) and shipping (should be free with $x every day or better yet FREE) appropriately.  There is just too much competition out there not to.

That's why I shop with the competition.

Ya I don't even watch the food shows anymore.  What did I see the other day 8 pieces of chicken for 65.00 and they even threw in a couple of potatoes. No thanks

Here on the Q, just today, I've seen a 2 dollar increase in my favorite, (Supersize only sold here) Josie Maran Body Butter. It's now $54 after no increase in over 3 or 4 years. It won't bother me because I see price increases all around.  If I like a product I will buy it; increase or not, pandemic pricing or not. That's not to say that I don't  shop around for better pricing on items. I've been known to do that most of my life. Sometimes it can be exhausting doing that though.

Prices are up on many things evverywhere.  And you're right, plenty of competition. I no longer shop much at ALL on QVC. Bought a Xmas wreath on the Xmas sale recently. No longer buy clothing at the Q- most lines full of  STRETCH and cheap fabrics and all look the same. J.Crew had a 40% great sale - picked up 2 lovely items.

I noticed the same thing on my wishlist, both on QVC and HSN. The increase was only on certain brands and only a few dollars. 

I don't miind price increases, that's life. I do mind paying for shipping. This is why I shop with other stores and my wish lists remain long! 

[maximillian]

Wish list here too-every time I look at it, at least one item has increased in price.  Depending on the items, increases range from $2.00-$10.00.

[elated]

I just looked at my wish list and all prices have increased from $1 to $3. I know prices are going up but when you add in shipping and handling plus tax, it makes a difference on purchasing or not.

I was excited for the last free shipping day they had recently until I went to my wish list and saw many items suddenly increased by about $5-$6 After free day was over the prices suddenly dropped back down to their previous price.
