Suggestion Box

Just a suggestion but I think when an "as is" item sets on the shelf, so to speak, week after week that just maybe the as is price is too high.  Items setting on shelves not selling, not only collect dust, but cost the company daily, subtracting from the profit.

Perhaps you are right!  My thoughts are to not sell "used" items at all as regular stores do not do this.  QVC could possably donate damaged or used items and they could also change their return policy for the better of the company. Just MHO.

Regular stores do sell "used" items. What do you think B&M stores do with reutrns they get? I have seen them get clothes back and put them back out on the sales floor.

Oftentimes the As Is price for a returned or used item is a lot higher than the Lunchtime Special price for a brand new one of the same item.  That's just wrong!

@Jackhound Mom  Retail stores absolutely do sell "used" items.  They put them back on the shelves.  If it's clothes from a past season they often send them to their outlets.

Most certainly B & M stores sell used clothing.  Years ago I worked a nice department store at Christmas Time for extra cash.  When people returned clothing, it was sprayed with Lysol Spray and hung out side to air out and then put on a Sale rack.

Just to name two, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Best Buy both sell used/As Is merchandise.

I'm just amazed that QVC keeps the items in stock for so long.  I've had clothing in my "wish list" for years!  Can't imagine a b&m store doing that.  QVC's warehouse must be beyond huge!

Hi,

Sorry if I made a mistake about stores and used items.  Way back in the 70's when I worked in a department store in MI they only placed returned items back on the shelf if it was still brand new and the tags were usually still on.  They donated "used" to local charities, really.

I don't take advantage of QVC's 30 day policy for returns or consider "As Is."

Lunchtime special prices are the very lowest and I try to look each day if I am home.

Great thread, thank you and happy shopping everyone!

The as-is prices used to be a lot better.  You could really get a good deal.  Now, many times the price difference isn't that much cheaper.
