Re: do five easy pays help you

well of course no one is going to say they would that they would NOT like pricing to go down. that is something totally separate from easy pays. i am sure ALL of us wish there were reduced pricing and free shipping.

 

i like using easy pay for several reasons......i dont lay out a lot of money or credit initially. if i want to return it then i dont have to wait three weeks to get a full refund. i only have to wait three weeks to get a partial refund because i have not paid for the entire item. i can go in whenever i want and pay the full amount off OR let it go through each month. either way i am not paying any interest.

 

it has always worked well for me.

Re: do five easy pays help you

I love easy pay.  Since the amount is the same full payment or easy pay, I do easy pay when avaialble.

Re: do five easy pays help you

somtimes---but it is a mind game. If there is something I really THINK I need, easy pay lets me look at it until i decide yes or no---but then it's the return cost that gets me. So if easy pay is $10, plus tax,  and the return is $7---is it worth almost $20 just to look at it? No--in most cases it is not--so I don't buy anymore using that formula.

I see Easy Pay as a way to get into debt very easily; which is why I prefer not to use it.  I would rather have free S&H.

Re: do five easy pays help you

my attitude is that if I can not pay off something in full... then I can not afford it.  That has to do with everything in my life.  My home I did pay off in 15 years, That was the only thing I paid with payments.  I hate being in debt.  I use credit cards for reward points$$$$$  and  pay them off at the end of the month in full.

I liked easy pay on some higher priced items I've purchased in the past and I do like having easy pay sometimes when buying other things because if I don't like it and return it, then I'm only out that one payment out of four or five payments.  However, I can see easy pay getting out of control.  Buying too much because you think the smaller payments are better/easier to handle.

Nope, because I don't shop ike that. I prefer lower prices and free shipping like their comeptition. Nobody cares about their overhead costs. This is a business. Compete or lose. Theyr'e not really winning.

I love the option, especially after ordering 6 patio umbrellas with the option to pay over time with no extra interest charge whatsoever.  

 

It also provides the reality to someone who may not be able to purchase a high priced item such as a purse, shoes, kitchen appliance ect, they can do so, and pay it over time without credit check, or interest payments.

 

Super great option in my book, and I use it.

Re: do five easy pays help you

I have never used easy pay in the 26 years I shopped at QVC. I prefer to just pay it off all at once.

No easy pay for me. Free shipping and handling yes. I haven’t been buying much. Bought one item last month and returned it.
