Haven't seen any real deals. Must be people who want the free financing, you can sure do better other places.
For me it wouldn't be about getting a "great deal" as to do that you would have to go to many different places and to get anything you might need would often require installing programs, buying extras, etc and everyone doesn't have the knowledge nor do they want to spend time doing this!! Next time I want a computer, laptop, tablet ect I will go with one of the shopping channels and save a lot of running around and trying to piece mill what I want. Here I can pretty well get anything I might need included even if there are some things I won't use. I don't have to waste my time then once I get it home and realize I need something else to do what I want! It's not always about the lowest price for some of us as my time is more valuable than obsessing about "deals"!! Also They sell electroncs and the stuff they do because that is where the money is. Catering to those who are "bored' watching these presentations would probably cause them to loose money and as someone stated the "bored" probably aren't going to buy enough to make the huge profits electronics do!!!
@Pook Oh really? and have you actually purchased a computer from QVC---well I made the MISTAKE of doing that......And after paying top dollar for this lap top it stopped working (it was past the 30 days) ....After numerous calls to their "wonderful" 24/7 support and being transferred around---only to get a supervisor's phone number and call only to get the message "mailbox full".....finally after calls to QVC Corporate (if they were as wonderful why would that call have even been necessary) anyway, I got a callback and they sent out an inhouse tech person 2 times, the 3rd time the tech person called Dell only to be told I'd have to send it back to Dell for repair.....after botching the pickup, it was sent back to Dell only to be returned even worse than what it was when I sent it.....after another call to QVC Corporate finally told I would receive a call from a supervisor to arrange a replacement computer......and 5 minutes until the call deadline I received a call from a snotty Dell employee giving me instructions for a replacement....after a long wait I FINALLY got a working one...IMAGINE THAT!!!! After that "wonderful" experience I now go to Best Buy for all my computers, tablets, etc etc.....and no problems at all.... And all the "extras" they give you are joke....the accessories and software is silly and not even used by most people...... So be my guest Pook purchase all the eletronics QVC offers and I hope you have the same "wonderful" experience as I did......
I'd also add @Spurt, I've purchased my last four computers in person and had pretty solid experiences, the one computer I ordered online was a disaster. In my experience, those selling computers in stores have a better body of knowledge about a diverse offering of brands and features than any QVC host and they have NO vested interest in selling you one brand or specific machine over another. Moreover, they are quite capable of helping you decide what features and software you need and those you don't and only selling you what you will use, thereby not clogging up your processor with software that sits there unused, hogging up processing power.... I also found I could one stop shop, so the time investment was minimal and was worth it to me to get a machine that works for me and that doesn't require constant calls to 'support' that might or might not be helpful, and that doesn't require me to go back and forth between the entity that made it and the one that sold it... I'd also note the prices tended to be far better in stores. Thanks, but I'll stick with local stores for electronics and appliances.
