I thought  that the reason they were selling out so fast was because they didn't bring in a lot because it was the first preview of this brand. Free shipping would be great no doubt about it.


Probably also true. While I don't think free shipping was the 'cause' of the sell outs, it surely didn't hurt... I too think they had limited quantities and also think that QVC customers are so starved for new and different brands and products that those too were big factors in making this initial offering a success.

What would be the upside of QVC paying for shipping of ALL handbags out of their own pocket?  Sure, we'd like it.  If QVC selling handbags and customers are paying the shipping charges, why they take the financial hit?  For nothing?  They did it for this NEW brand because it's new, it's an unknown and they wanted to draw customers in.  I do think $13 is high but it's comparable to the department stores when you order online.  I think if I'm paying $300 for Dooney that I love, $13 to ship isn't going to be deal breaker.  


If you're paying $300 for a Dooney that you love... odds are, it's going to ship free from just about everywhere but here... 

 

Why should they do it? Because financial reports indicate handbags sales are down. If they want to compete then, well, they need to compete across the board, including shipping...


Stevieb -- Can you please tell me where I can find the financial reports to which you made reference?  I would like to check some other product lines.  Thanks!

THANK YOU to QVC for the free shipping & handling on handbags today (9/9/17). Woman Happy

 

Question for Moderators: There are at least two handbags (posted below) where the shipping & handling is still in effect at $10.47 -- do you know if this will be fixed today so orders can be made with the free shipping & handling? Thank you in advance for checking on this!

@Beth-QVC THANK YOU!!! Woman Very Happy

 

I've already ordered the Citrine Python in the second bag.

 

I'm still deciding on the first bag...I like three of the options and shouldn't buy all three! Woman Embarassed

 

Thanks again, Beth, for your fast reply and help to fix this issue!!!

Re: Why Not Free Shipping For ALL Handbags??

QVC is the only place I know that charges shipping on Dooney handbags.  That's why I order from Dooney, or Macy's.  The bags sell for the exact same price at all of them, except Dooney and Macy's will have occasional sales.  The shipping is just QVC's way to rob you a bit.
