Today's Special Value

[Mominohio]

Just checking in on the Berkshire blankets, the day after they ran them as the TSV.

Today they cost a whole whopping $1.25 more than yesterday.

QVC, stop the hype about some of these TSV prices. I have noticed this repeatedly. Some things are relatively more expensive the next day, but oftentimes, there is just a couple of dollars difference. 

Your TSV pricing used to be a real deal most times, but now you are just making a joke out of all the hype.

But $1.25, that is just ridiculous.

I've often thought the same thing about TSV prices.

I have noticed the same thing.  A coupe of times, I went back to "see" a TSV item, after the day it was shown.  The difference between TSV price and one/two days after was miniscule!  TSV prices used to be a real bargain!!

QVC doesn't like to discount and as a result is being left behind by the retail world.  I get things at least 66% off and usually 75%+ off over at HSN if I wait a few months.  QVC sells "clearance" items that have been around for years at 10-20% off.  That is not clearance.  It's a promotional price.  I will not consider a clearance item that's more than half the initial ACTUAL (NOT MSRP) price.  I buy from HSN.

The other day I also checked a TSV the day after and it was a whopping $2.50 more.

At that rate, it doesn't make much sense to buy when it's a TSV.

For $2.50, I'll wait till reviews come in and save at least 50 cents (from $3 'try it'/shipping fee) + the return fee, if I don't like it or it doesn't work for me.

That or buy it as is when the returns come back.

Gone are the days when one needed to rush to buy a TSV, for the most part.  Precious little difference in pricing the next day.  Used to be so much more worthwhile.....and it still is, but only rarely, it seems.

@Mominohio Generally, a TSV is about 10% off which in the scheme of things is really nothing.  Here in CA our sales tax is over 8%.  It would be a joke if department stores advertised HUGE sales at 10% off, yet the Q does it every day.  I can go to a store and easily see 30% off and sometimes have a coupon.  I refuse to purchase a TSV.  It is a joke.

I don't buy TSVs often.  When I buy a TSV, it's because it's some different or you get extra pieces and I think the price is fair.  I know I'm not getting a steal.

I notice that too. So, sometimes if I am on the fence about a particular item,I might wait and see,but if I really want that item and in a particular color or style and it seems popular,I will buy it...

When HSN has a TS,it really is a TS. The other day they had a Sonic Facial Brush,similar to Clarisonic.The TS price was $119 & Free Shipping,the very next day that same brush was $199 + Shipping. So, that I consider a real TS and it seems HSN pretty mush does that all the time.So, if you really want that item,you should order it.
