The outlet is nothing other than another clearance show

Qvc must not think highly of its customers to say what they are showing is outlet pricing. These are the same items they have been running at as early as earlier today on air. . If you want the pricetThey offered you could of bought yesterday or tomorrow at the same price until they raise the price. (That is not what outlets do). I would not buy something 25% off at an outlet (belle top, skechers shoes) as it a decent sale not an outlet pricing. They really don't want to move merchandise offer an additional % off would be more like an outlet too

   I did see some items marked down significantly , however you had to buy during the airing  as the prices were to revert back to whatever  QVC had them at.

Many of  the items "marked down " weren't what I  needed  or wanted .  The  tops  by Isaac and Demim & Co  where you had to buy two , well  a little saving but  other places are offering  bigger  discounts .  Bought 2 sweaters from ShopHq and two mock neck tops .

Agree; wouldn't call their prices outlet prices. I buy a lot of clothes from Talbots because they carry almost everything in petite, not just pants and dresses. Today, all markdowns are an additional 50% off. Most sweaters that were $99. are down to about $35. Their regular prices are high but always a sale going on. After Christmas is the big clearance sale. Now, that is a sale. Qvc doesn't seem to know what sale means to most of us. Taking $10. off a winter sweater in January is hardly what I call a sale.

Re: The outlet is nothing other than another clearance show

I buy a lot of clothes at J Jill because they offer up petites in almost everything.  I especially like having petite PJ's!  Anyway, the sale at J Jill is almost always worth shopping and they do not go back up to another price at the "end of the day".  Been buying from them for over 20 years.  I am looking at my $10 coupon that Q sent to me if I spend over 30 but it is very limited to what I can use it on.  I have made a commitment to myself that by the end of March I am cutting way down on Q shopping except for the Elemis products I use and shoes since I wear wide widths.  Prices have gotten out of control.

Seems like once again QVC is selective in sending out coupons to customers.

 

That stings. Obviously no customer loyality.

 

I passed on shopping during the last two rounds that I read here of coupons circulating. Doesn't seems to me that QVC is interested in my spending my money here. That's okay, plenty of other retailers are throwing coupons at me...and I'm using them.

I have been with them over 20 years and have rarely gotten coupons either. The one mentioned by the previous poster, I got too but it can not be used on sale, clearance, clearance sale,  lunchtime specials, as is, basically only on full priced items and only $10. off something over $30.  So, don't feel bad; I doubt I will even use it as I rarely buy full priced items.

Re: The outlet is nothing other than another clearance show

I also agree.  I also question what is clearance.

 

I purchased two kitchen items, different shapes, late in 2023 that were final sale - no return.  Today those same items are still available under the listings of "regular price"  items, "as is" items, and "final sales" items.  Prices are the same in ALL THREE locations at the same price they were in late 2023 when I bought them as "final sale" items.  How can they put an item in, allegedly, "regular price," "as is,"  and "final sale" headings at the same price?  So much for clearance, sale, markdowns, outlet pricing, etc.  😞

Hi! @Melzie 🤗

I actually 😂 when I see an “As is” item higher than it is “New”.

What’s up with that?
