Honestly, I do not understand posts like this.
Shipping costs money, and it is never "free." Some retailers prefer to hide shipping costs within the base price of products. QVC makes no secret of its shipping costs and has them clearly listed with the cost of each item. It is not as if they add the undisclosed shipping charge after customers have already ordered.
Over and over again, people come on here and complain about the shipping charges -- generally after having purchased items. Frequently, they compare QVC to other retailers, claiming they could purchase the same items cheaper, with free shipping, at other sites. They then threaten never to purchase again.
Enough! You are an adult. If you can truly get the items cheaper elsewhere, do I. Wht persist in shopping here? QVC is doing nothing but operating its business as it sees fit. If you choose to shop here, recognize that it is your choice -- no one is forced to shop here, and unless QVC has suddenly become the sole provider of heart medication, there is absolutely nothing that QVC sells that is essential,.
In other words, stop whining. That is exactly how these complaints come off. Whining in children is annoying. Whining in adults is deplorable!
