I like QVC but would purchase more items if the shipping prices were better. Wanted to order the holiday gift wrap bags for $17 which seems like a good deal but then almost $7 for shipping? That makes it not such a good deal especially when SO many other companies are offering FREE shipping. Get with the program QVC and offer free or at least discounted shipping. I don't even care if it takes a day or two longer for the shipping. It's not a value on the item when you jack up the shipping Smiley Sad

Lots of other companies charge even more for shipping. Or they charge by order value, the more you order, the more expensive shipping is. Amazon Prime isn't free (but it is fast, which I appreciate).

Looks like they have raised shipping charges by 50 cents on quite a few items.....

Re: Why so much for shipping?

It's the holiday shopping season. They know we have to purchase presents, though we certainly don't have to purchase here... Still, in as much as their shipping is always high and has long been known to be a source of profit for them, I guess they figure they'll really kick it up for the holiday season and make as much as they can from it. Retail overall relies on the holiday shopping season to maximize profit. It's unfortunate that QVC rarely seems to do so by offering customers any real incentives or actual deals.

Re: Why so much for shipping?

I agree also. I recently started shopping at QVC again after a five year hiatus, but I'm done. The shipping is just too high. With the exception of clothing, I have been able to find almost everything else they sell for less money at other sources. Often times it's the expensive shipping that makes the difference. When I saw $7.74 to ship a scarf I decided to start looking elsewhere.

We have been complaining about Q's shipping charges for years! Nordstrom even has free shipping & free returns. If the Q doesn't do something about their shipping charges soon, I predict their sales will plummet. There are many companies that sell the same items as the Q, unless you want something like Quackery Factory!

I saw a Denim & Co coat I liked. I have to pass because of the shipping.

Re: Why so much for shipping?

Maybe QVC could do half-shipping if they can't do free shipping. For example, if an item has $10 worth if shipping, maybe it could be cut in half to $5.

Just an idea....not even sure if it's a good one. {#emotions_dlg.blush}
