I think you should remember who made QVC  successful. Your prices have become too high on your clothing, handbags, shoes, and jewelry. It was the working class that made you successful not the rich. I consider myself middle class and I cannot afford your handbags at $250.00 or shoes at $100.00 or jewelry over $100.00

Maybe write a letter to QVC Corp.

Some of the handbags (like Dooney) and shoes (like Clarks) are expensive everywhere, and always have been. They are also nice quality, and probably worth the price. Where I have issues is flimsy polyester/rayon/spandex knit clothing, i.e. Susan Graver, Logo, etc. The prices for that stuff have gotten ridiculous!

 

Add to the prices, that the sizing has become a joke for a lot of things, and maybe it's time to rethink buying from QVC.

 

I just received the recent Clarks TSV espadrilles. In the description AND in the presentation they were described as "true-to-size". NOT! Both pair I ordered in the same size as every other pair of Clarks shoes in my closet, were way too small and way too narrow. I'm now out $23.90 for shipping both ways for shoes that were misrepresented!

 

So, yes, in general I think the prices have gotten too high for many things, and the ridiculous shipping/return costs have made it worse!

They sell at prices the market will tolerate.  As long as people keep buying Dooney's at hundreds of dollars they are going to keep selling them.  And, as someone else said some items are expensive no matter where you buy them.

 

Same is true with other clothes lines (Susan Graver, Logo, etc.) when these vendors are on they sell a lot so someone doesn't mind paying the price.  I personally like some of SG's clothes and they wear well so I don't mind paying the price. 

 

The other reason I don't mind paying is because I hate going to malls shopping from store to store finding nothing.  It is a complete waste of time.

Although I think the prices are a bit high, if I am paying for quality, I have no problem paying the higher price.  Yes, sometimes it is painful financially.  However, I draw the line at the inconsistencies within the same line and no longer buy "try ons".  Actually I buy very little from the Q these days because I am tired of all the "made in China" everything.  I reviewed my order history for the last couple years and wow - have I saved myself some $$$.  This year I made 1 small purchase - a trunk organizer which is excellent.  I now shop very carefully, read the reviews, and shop for items I pretty much know I won't need to return.

I tend to agree with the prices soaring; especially in regards to the polyesther tops and Denim & Co. "cotton" jerseys that I can get at Kohl's for half the price. I don't want anymore flimsy poly tops, and I stopped buying Denim & Co. because the quality is lacking. If Quacker Factory can make high quality tops in cotton for the same price - so can the other vendors. "Liquid knit" is not what I will spend $50.00 on....thank you.

If you feel  the prices are too high, shop elsewhere.  It is not as if QVC is te only retailer out there.

 

So many posters here seem to want Tiffany's quality at Dollar Tree prices.

I think most people here shop in a variety of places--QVC, other online sites, local stores, everything from $-store to Nordstroms. 

 

As for the quality, I don't think it's lacking or exceptional.  Pretty much what you would get at a department store, TJM.  If you see something you like and want, better get it, because you can walk the mall all day and probably not find it.

 

I think it's ridiculous to pay the price of Dooney bags, I just don't get it.  But I like things those Dooney people don't like.

Speaking of high prices - I was gobsmacked at the prices from Melissa McCarthy's line at HSN, on yesterday. Almost everything, no matter what it was, topped $60. T-shirts $75, jeans pushing $100, ordinary blouses $80-90. Say what? And I either thought most of it was fugly, or totally plain. The whole price/fugly thing was just bizarre.

Re: Prices too high

[ Edited ]

For name brand products that can be purchased elsewhere, the prices are about the same. Cosmetics/health products appear to have the biggest deals and often shoes and boots can be purchased during special promos for a very good price. I don't really shop name brands on QVC as the discount is rarely all the much especially when tax and shipping are added in.
