Re: Shipping Rates are Ridiculous!

I also have Amazon prime. The cost is so worth it to me.
I know in no time I can spend that much for shipping at QVC.

That's how we roll in the shire..

Re: Shipping Rates are Ridiculous!

I ordered two Perfect Jersey Denim & Co tops in one order, then ordered a different one in a separate order -- all shipped on the same day, but the single one shipped separately. For the three items, which probably weigh a total 1-1/2 pounds at most and can be shipped in plastic envelopes, I'm paying $14.30 shipping by UPS.

BTW, has anyone seen the news this morning that FedEx is going to start charging by package size instead of just weight - and that UPS may follow suit? Which will make shipping rates go even higher and may affect all the free online shipping.

It may save me a lot of money, because I'm having a hard time swallowing what shipping on these 3 items is costing me--I can't get these particular pieces/colors anywhere else. But I am starting to be very picky about what I do order.

Re: Shipping Rates are Ridiculous!

I did see the story about the Fed Ex going to charge more....I blame companies who put small items in huge boxes...there is a story here today about a D&B handbag in an oversized box..I know when I ship UPS they always take measurements and charge accordingly....

Re: Shipping Rates are Ridiculous!

QVC just ripped me off. Since I'm going to be away I ordered a jacket and paid almost $10 to have it sent priority mail. I ordered the jacket a week ago. Today I received a message saying I'd receive the package in about two weeks. This is a priority shipment? Fortunately I put a hold on my mail so it will be held at the post office...unless QVC goofs and sends it UPS, in which case that package will announce my absence by sitting at my front door. This is unacceptable!

Re: Shipping Rates are Ridiculous!

I agree about the shipping rates but I'm really getting fed up with the TIME it takes to ship a product.My orders sit and sit for days without shipping. I get so fed up I cancel everything !

I shop Amazon get free shipping and get it the very next day!!!
