I love Lock and Lock and can't stop buying it! This Wednesday they had their Holiday TSV - and it was $24.98 plus $5.50 shipping. The price today is $27.48 with free shipping - which means if I waited until today (Saturday) to purchase Wednesday's TSV it would be $3 cheaper today!
I love free shipping days (like today) but somehow this doesn't make sense to me. The reason to jump on a TSV is that (supposedly) is the cheapest price that item will ever be.
This is certainly a silly problem - but thought I would mention it anyway!

I love lock&lock too, but even though I'm always tempted , there is no more room ! I understand what you are saying about the price, I guess TSV'sjust aren't that special anymore. I love free shipping, but It's too random, and I'm not buying this time around.

I agree with what you are saying. It's very frustrating when we make a purchase thinking that it's a great and supposedly low price, only to see that it's even cheaper a short time later.
I thought TSVs were supposed to be the lowest they would be (along with the One Day Only), but I guess that isn't true. Either way, it's easy and quite understandable to feel duped by this. This happens with a lot of the Q's items and that's why I always shop around online before making a purchase from them. I often find the same item for much cheaper at Amazon, ebay, Target, etc., with free shipping.

TSVs are NOT advertised as the lowest ever price or the lowest price for the next 6 months. They are presented as the best value of the day, in reality a showcase item for the day. Many TSVs are NOT an actual value at all as the items are never offered as a true markdown - ie Dyson hairdryer, iPads, Apple Watch, the Phillips toothbrush yesterday (its the same price everywhere).
No matter where you shop you take a gamble that the item will be offered at a lower price later on.

It is very annoying. It seems every time I have placed a large order a few days later it's free shipping. I don't expect to be reimbursed. I did not order it that day. It's a chance you take.

I don't think QVC will refund any difference IF free shipping is the only reason the price is lower than it was initially.
They look at the item price without shipping, to determine if a customer is allowed a partial refund.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. This has been my understanding for a long time now. But, paying more stinks. I've been there.
