I ordered 3 of the same item. The only difference is I ordered different colors. Its outrageous that QVC charges shipping for EACH item. Most if not all other online sites have one shipping rate regardless of the number of items you have in your order. Being that these items will ship together its ridclous that QVC does this. Heres an idea, charge one fee regardless of the number of items. I feel like I got ripped off. I placed my order and thoughtabout canceling but its too late. Additionally, if I return the items I will not be fully refunded. Lesson leaned QVC. I will only order when you have free shipping as I cannot justify paying for shipping based on each and every item.

Re: Outrageous Shipping Charges

I only order when there's "free" shipping.  Other retailers may have a minimum order to get free shipping and that is what QVC/HSN should do.  At one time HSN had free shipping at $75, I think, but no longer.

You were NOT ripped off!  It clearly shows the total you will be charged for shipping B4 you hit submit!  It shows it in your cart B4 you even get to check out.

 

You accepted the fee when you purchased, makes no sense to complain about it now really.

 

Yes, like many of us, WAIT for free ship!  They have it quite often these days.

 

You personally can not ship even the smallest package these days w/ USPS or UPS for that amount per item....plus there is the handling side of it.

@Chimsqua Shipping or free shipping or free shipping on several items has nothing to do with how much money you are spending.  Shipping is part of the cost.  It is simply a question of would you pay X number of dollars for something.  

 

You might find the same item at a far higher total cost with "free" shipping.  Just ask yourself would you spend the amount of money?  Your bank account doesn't know if it is shipped free or not.  It only knows how much you spend and that is the question.  Is the item worth it?  It's how much money you are spending and how that amount out of your bank account matters vs. the usefulness to you, and you alone, of what you are buying.

Re: Outrageous Shipping Charges

QVC’s shipping fees are high, and outrageous, they are part of their revenue strategy. It’s an old, outdated model that most retailers abandoned years ago. @Chimsqua

Re: Outrageous Shipping Charges

When you buy multiple items then the shipping charges can add up to quite a bit. But for any single item, Qvc's shipping charges are not that high compared to many other online retailers. It's not unusual to see $7 to $10 shipping charges per item elsewhere.

@manny2.  Do you know of another retailer who routinely will ship a garment to you for $3.50?  I shop all over the internet, foreign and domestic, and I don't.
