Suggestion Box

If on the final day of Christmas in July , we could have free shipping on those items or at least bundled shipping.  When making purchases of multiples,  it is difficult to justify paying $22.50 for shipping  four light-weight items.  

I do appreciate the "sale prices, " but when adding $20-$30 or more to ship, that really hurts the budget.

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION!

I just deleted 4 VPH items from my wish list.  The total shipping for such light items would be ridiculous!  Not to mention they would ship them all in ONE box and NOT pass the savings onto me!

I imagine I could go to Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Joann and get similiar items for similar prices with NO shipping AND coupons!

Glad I came to my senses!

Absolutely! Shipping price AND return shipping prices, and the tax on shipping, has really stifled my shopping on QVC. Too bad since I love QVC.  AMAZON gets my business now.

I have a Hobby Lobby about an hour away and I can do budget friendly shopping there with sales/coupons and no shipping fees.  Their items are lovely as well.

I adore Valerie and saw many items I would love to add to my decor this year, but geesh.   The shipping kills it for me.

I previously purchased the three Peanuts throws and it cost $16.50 for them to be tossed in one small box.   That is simply insane.

All the other places I've shopped in the past several months have all had free shipping.  Target, Walmart, Amazon, Wayfair, Justice, Abercrombie, Jansport (I'm sure I'm leaving a few out).  I hope QVC gets on board, their shipping costs are too high for my wallet.  I've really cut down on what I buy from QVC.

I am blessed to have all three stores less than 15 mins. from me.  I just hate to go to stores!  I am all about online ease, but have come to realize QVC just isn't always the best place to do that.

I have found that Amazon does NOT always have the best prices though and have almost gotten burned with price gouging.  I.E.  wanted the IP glass lid for slow cooking.  Almost paid $30 for it at Amazon then found it elsewhere for $14!  Anyways, I am very careful w/ Amazon.

I greatly appreciate the VPH shows as she decorates so beautifully.  However,  I can buy picks and garland anywhere.

I am BIG on EZ pay but certainly don't need it for price points of under $40!  So, QVC lost 4 sales from me today....and several over the CIJ month as I just couldn't justify the shipping.

Some of these light items are $5.50 besides!  Not even $3.

twocent- I must not get out much because even the sale prices seem high to me.  Also, almost every single Christmas product is $5.50 for s&h and I can't justify spending that, especially for light weight items or when you're going to ship things together in one package.  Maybe I'm cheap.

@LilMadi

You are not cheap, but a very wise shopper.

Thank you twocent, that makesme feel better, I appreciate that.

If you're retired and have Hobby Lobby or Home Goods (or similar stores) in your area, you'll most likely find more competitive prices and no shipping. Valerie has some pretty items, but it's unlikely that she's designing any of them, and you can find similar items in your local stores. I like the ease of online shopping, but I refuse to pay some of the prices and shipping costs. I don't like shopping with a crowd of people, so I check out Hobby Lobby and Home Goods during the week.
