More stylish clothing, vendors and hosts. Also, shipping is less expensive.

A lot of their clothing isn't to my taste. However, they have awesome deals on shipping more often than not.

The shoes and clothing on HSN are more suited for me and they have more wide width really great looking shoes and boots. I like QVC's kitchen, misc and beauty much better though.

I shop HSN now and then and I do appreciate their flex pays but they don't hold a candle to QVC. Their hosts are a bit loud and frenetic for my taste and they lack the professionalism and that personal touch I feel with QVC. QVC provides just the right touch of Americana that I appreciate. HSN is a poor man's QVC at best.

I do like HSN. I don't buy a lot , but I like their special event pricing, their customer service, and their annual clearance shows. Like them or not, their hosts seem very genuine to me.

ITA: "poor man's QVC"! The studio, lighting, graphic, hosts, etc., all just not first class.

I am starting to watch more and more.I have found,their hosts the same as you. I have only noticed two screamers and fast loud ,fast talk.I enjoy a more relaxing presentation,not someone announcing,every minute how many are left.I am not someone intimidated by a host yelling,"if you want these,there are only three left". What I say at that point is ...let someone else have them!!!

I buy more from HSN than I did years ago. I don't buy their fashions, but love their cosmetic/beauty items and that they usually have free shipping or $1.99 shipping when a brand is being featured that day. I buy Korres, Perlier and TrishMcEvoy from HSN and have bought a couple of cooking items. I enjoy their presentations more than QVC --was the opposite years ago.

I used to buy some things from hsn, but I found their quality over several product categories to be dismal at best.

Plus, they tend to charge way too much on their regular prices, then they trick people into thinking they are getting some great deal when they massively reduce the prices to what they should have been in the first place.

Don't even get me started on the (lacking) customer service. Yikes! I could tell some stories.
