When so many shopping choices are participating in a free shipping day,
QVC - you might want to consider doing the same.

@Georgiagrama. I'm sure they considered it....then nixed the idea. I have a feeling things aren't going so well financially for the Q.

The Q did their free shipping day on December 2nd - everything shipped free - so I'm not surprised they're not doing another one so soon after.
I was surprised to see that some retailers are calling this "Free Shipping Friday". I can hardly keep up with all the "days" now.
I know there are a lot of complaints about the cost of shipping with the Q, but today I mailed out a package that weighed 2 1/2 pounds. It cost $11.65 and that was the cheapest option. (UPS was higher.) So it puts the shipping charges into perspective, especially for heavy items.
I always just compare total prices, when I shop around.

Given that they cut out MrRebates until January 1, I wasn't surprised that they didn't participate in free shipping Friday. Their idea of a good deal is easy pay....and that's about it.

Not sure the connection with Zulily but I was told they are associated in some fashion. AND Zulily has a marvelous plan... buy one item... shipping is $5.99 and the rest of the day all other items ship free. It is a shopping cart approach which I like . On the weekend it is buy one item and pay shipping and the rest are free (shipping). Love it. And I have been very pleased with the products... great variety. Quality varies so you have to shop wisely.

@Georgiagrama I agree with you. So many retailers are doing free shipping for the entire season! I'm also sure they (the Q) get a shipping discount due to the bulk that they do.

You are aware that the Q is a large corporation and gets discounted rates. So, you can not compare their rates to your rates.

QVC needs to offer more free shippings I agree. Sadly, many of my friends are now ordering off Amazon to get better deals. I fear in 10 years QVC as we know it may not exist. Perhaps it will be an ON DEMAND catalogue channel without hosts ? How sad would that be? In my opinion the hosts give the channel the warmth and coziness many older consumers desire. Thus we are willing to overspend a bit.
