I am not one of those "say something nice or don't say anything at all" people. I like to hear other people's opinions. I may not share them but I still like to hear/read them. I think there are too many of the "go away, poster" comments on this board. QVC could benefit from reading everything and taking some things into consideration.
@santorini Well said and I agree with you. QVC loyalists are welcome to their opinion but so are those who've seen the man behind the curtain. A big part of many of today's problems is this mentality that so many people don't want to know about any point of view that might not match their own. It's like it upsets their world to know there are other perspectives out there and they might have to reexamine their opinions.
@stevieb, so are you saying that those who purchase from QVC are under some Wizard's spell? They've been charmed by a mystic into buying and that they lack the critical thinking skills to price compare? Or that they are unaware of what's available at brick & mortars? Or elsewhere online?
That they are labeled loyalist because after seeing something on QVC they look at Amazon and then the vendor's site and find QVC has something $20 cheaper, with extra add-ons, and in a choice of colors? Of course that doesn't hold true for all products, but it's an example.
Here's an example of my last three purchases:
Item A.) Half the price of the vendor's website. Free shipping and arrived in four days.
Item B.) Duo deal-two of the same item cheaper than one from vendor's site. $50.40 for two on QVC, and $54 for one from the vendor and Sephora. Free shipping and arrived in seven days.
Item C. Duo deal- two of same item. Cost at QVC for both $65. Cost at vendor and Sephora $140 for one. I did pay $3.50 shipping. Arrived in 6 days.
You are correct that there is a lack at viewing other points of view. That lack seems the premise of the OP's post. There is a way to phrase that you are displeased with a shopping site without insulting those who continue to shop stating they're being suckered, that they're buying junk, that they're being used. In my opinion that reeks of arrogance.
How can one speak, as if with authority, to the quality and value if the items never been tried or purchased?
There's a lack or understanding and tolerance not to realize that we don't all have the same taste, same priorities, or same view of what constitutes quality, value or convenience.
