I wonder if anyone, ANYONE, ever reads QVC reviews on Yelp. I HOPE SO! Because, sure there are a ton of reviews on QVC about QVC products, however, you may notice a few things there.
1. If you write a review, no matter how well written and respectful (no bad words or name calling) it is, if it's bad, it's likely not published. So their published reviews are skewed.
2. If an item goes on clearance, even if it's been in stock for 5 years and has sold 150,000 items, it will suddenly only have 4 or 5 published reviews, and shockingly, they are all 4 or 5 stars. Odd how that happens.
Onto the quality. It's honestly all over the place. I've purchased A LOT from QVC and some things have become staples in my closet, for instance Women with Control pants. I love them, they are fantastic. But some things are garbage, anything Lori Goldstein comes to mind. Her clothes are extraordinarily cheaply made with cheap fabrics and god awful designs. But there's more!
Never buy gardening supplies or plants from them. I've purchased plants from nurseries online and have had success, but not with QVC. Every last plant that I've purchased there has died. Now, I'm a prolific gardener and I know how to keep a plant alive. Their plants are trash.
Price. HAHAHAHAHA. Price? While some of their high end kitchen appliance deals are truly amazing, especially when they're on a TSV, usually their prices are absolutely nothing special; and as far as their clearances, really? They're usually laughable. I will say I bought my Vitamix from them and it really was a deal. I've also bought a lot of IT Cosmetics that I LOVE from them, IT really is the best cosmetic brand, imo. But on the whole, there is simply nothing special about their prices. Think Macy's. That's it, but without the good sales.
Again, quality, ugh. No, on so many fronts.
Convenience. Yes, it is very easy and convenient to shop through QVC, but it's that way through any online retailer and a lot of them have free S&H, that's a rarity on QVC.
Okay, onto the hosts... David, he's very entertaining, I really enjoy watching him but the food stuffs QVC sells are so over-priced it's an abomination. Those poor seniors who don't get out much and think that they're getting a deal on a $45 bag of pot stickers. My god, go to Costco, they're $19.00. It actually makes me angry how they take advantage of the elderly with food stuffs and over pricing.
Anyway, back to the hosts.
The ones that are easy to watch, not obnoxious, and seem like they're probably not bald faced lying to you. Rick Domier, Sandra Bennett, Mary Beth Roe, Mary DeAngelis, Carolyn Gracie, Alberti Popaj, dan Hughes, love watching him, Gabrielle Kerr, Kerstin Lindquist and Jane Treacy.
The ones I just can't watch: Not particularly because they seem like bad people, but because they rub me the wrong way.
They include: Jennifer Coffey - I must say, I think she... lies, so maybe she's in the wrong category on this. Jill Bauer - I'm sure she's a decent person, but my god why the droning monotone all of the time. Your monotone voice puts me to sleep while irritating me awake.
And then, there's, ugh, do I have to say it? Shawn Killinger. She's horrible. I feel violated when I watch her, like I need a shower, like I'm trapped in a carnival with a huckster selling horoscopes. She is fake, OMG, she is so fake, she is so fake that when humanity invented the word fake they had her in mind. BTW, did I say she's fake? She's fake. She's also rude, ridiculous, petulant and arrogant. Arrogant with a capital SNOB, snob. QVC, please reduce her air time.
Okay, so I skipped a bunch of hosts. That's because I don't particularly have an opinion about them. I guess the rest are fine and I'll watch them... unless they're trying to sell a sponge or something, then forget it.
One more thing about QVC. What is it about their sizing? WTH? You know, if you want to go to a size 30, just go to a size 30. Don't pretend like a 30 is a 24 or a 12 is an 8. Their sizes are usually 2 sizes too large. Remember that when ordering because convenience is not present when you have to exchange something through the mail. Then it's just a pain the butt. read more
