Shoes

@Mz iMac, I think people do look at their website and other outlets. But my experience has been that I have found sales and sizes here not found elsewhere. 

It's the same for me with Skechers. I can walk into their store and not find my size.

That’s funny about Kim starting a shoe line! @Kachina624 🌻



It will happen AFTER Lori Goldstein launches hers on The Q and it takes off !!



I’m expecting Lori’s this Fall like she had hinted ! I still own pairs of her ankle boots and they’re far more superior than many brands out there. Not sure what manufacture she used then, but she said she worked with one of The Best !

I know I won’t buy direct from Vionic again.


I ordered 2 pair of sneakers and one pair was noticeable larger in the heel area. Just looking down at them you could see the difference.

Their policy is ALL returns pay shipping.


Called customer service about the $10.95 that was deducted from my total and the rep said NO Exceptions. I asked to speak with the manager. She placed me on hold, came back and told me they’ll reimburse my shipping.




Even though it worked out I won’t give them my business again.

Vionic is sold by a lot of retailers. Many have promo codes and lower prices than Q.

@Nuph  I think Tarrifs have nothing to do with inventory or pricing, as another contributer has said.  I have found that in all aspects, QVC probably is not buying as much inventory.  Things sell out very quickly now. QVC's pricing in all aspects across all brands and categories,  have increased in price over 20-40% at least.  pretty hefty. The sales are minimal in price decreases.  The increases happened at the beginning of the summer before Tarrifs were fully implemented. I think, that all companies, restaurants, car washes, groceries, are just increasing their margins because they can.

I have been waiting for Issac's fall line but it has not appeared. I don't see him on the schedule even. Did not know about IT cosmetics. That is a shame. Vionic and Barefoot Dreams pricing has REALLY increased.

I could be wrong, but I doubt QVC actually buys product from vendors and then stores it in their warehouses, hoping it will all sell.

If you ever go into Costco, everything you see is there on consignment.  

I think QVC does the same thing.

@Tinkrbl44 QVC buys product and distributes from their different warehouses around the country.

[Nuph]

Yes, I generally purchase directly from Vionic, for years now, but check QVC's inventory and pricing, and other retailers for comparison before my purchases.

@Hoping for the best  yes, they get products from their warehouses.  But they fill their warehouses with merchandise from overseas. They also place orders when ordered with vendor, and vendor sends to us directly. Some items from vendors  They have a handful of items, (if that )that come from US originally. It's not just QVC, Home Depot, and many places are the same. Costco as well.  Production has slowed as  well, because sometimes even if items are made here parts or ingredients come from overseas.

I'm fairly new to this group, but am also wondering same on the Vionic inventory. I had hoped that someone from QVC would actually respond to our questions / posts on certain topics but does not appear to be the case? I'm hoping I"m wrong as I think would be helpful to have questions like these actually addressed. Just wondering....
