Bring back $5 fill your cart shipping on craft events
I sure hope they bring back the $5.00 shipping on the upcoming craft event. I did not purchase nearly as much as I would have on the last event. I actually found some of the items I wanted on Amazon (they have free shipping and free returns). I was very disappointed in the last event as I know MANY of you were with no fill your cart for $5 for the day. It really isn’t worth disappointing your crafting community HSN. I think you’re really going to take a hit if you don’t bring it back.

I did it! I paid $12 for shipping. I want to kick myself but I really wanted the new diamond press along with a few extras. I was going to buy 2 sets of extra die cutting folders, I added 2 to my cart but they were $3.50 each to ship. So I just purchased one. I love all things diamond press so I did splurge some, but I feel completely let down. First off it is not even a full craft day…at one time I would take the day off from work and craft along with the vendors, I would also fill my cart for $5 shipping. Ugh, I just paid more to ship than one of my items that was $10. I would not have even made the purchase If it wasn’t for diamond press, I love the ease of this gadget. Craft days just have not been the same for quite some time, still many of the same themes, butterflies and flowers, a new and improved Cricut machine every 2 months, lots of interruption while hosts are presenting……HSN is kind of taking an easy approach to craft day, after all, there are so many different mediums in crafting, and we really have been seeing redundancy. Boy, I sound awfully negative, sorry for that, maybe the powers that be will see some of our posts and try to work on making our craft days more substantial!

Not much of a “Craft Event” either, guys. 2 shows @ 12 & 1 AM (which they repeat until 7 AM), another at 9-10 AM…..I guess something at 11-12, another hour at 2PM, and then Suzanne Gets Crafty from 8 to 10PM……and I’m sure (but not positive) it’s full price shipping. Why bother?

I think hsn are just being obstinate for some reason. I’ve seen a lot of things since the last craft day with free shipping on them on their website, such as vitamin supplements. I can be just as obstinate, and I won’t be buying anything else from them and probably won’t even watch any of it. I think it’s an odd decision on their part during national craft month and then to supposedly show customer appreciation. I haven’t seen any sign of customer appreciation from them.

HSN isn’t listening so I’m not paying their shipping anymore. The $5 ship cart has sailed and I’ll be surprised if it comes back.

I didn’t buy anything on that last craft day, and I was all set to spend several hundreds until they wanted shipping on each item. That put me right off hsn and their craft days,probably for good. There’s nothing special about hsn. Their prices are higher, or the same, as I can find elsewhere. I usually have the crafters companion items I want sent over from websites in England where I don’t have to pay tax or shipping, and anna griffin items usually turn up on her website eventually with free shipping. I only have watched hsn for craft days, nothing else, and last time I just switched it off. I don’t think I have any interest in them any more after that last one.

I agree 100%. I was so disgusted with what they did on the last Craft day, I didn’t buy ANYTHING. Instead I went to CC own website and placed an order there. There are some things I would have bought that day, but on principle, I refused to pay all that shipping. They didn’t even have the decency to do Buy more and safe, on the shipping. Just flat out were ripping us off. I can’t support that kind of behavior.

I personally think there is a bigger picture here. I remember when QVC was phasing out crafts.
Oh, crafts are still available on QVC but I only recall one craft show on QVC in the last two or three years. I’m just wondering if this is what is going on at HSN. I certainly hope not. First HSN “merged” with QVC. Next thing HSN stopped ALL $5 “Shipping Days.” Then Suzanne began her own show of “Suzanne gets crafty.” Next thing was that Anna and Sara were on at two separate times. Last “Craft Day” was a sporadic event. I began shopping elsewhere some time ago. Many places have shipping on orders rather than items. All of these places have minimums which must be met to take advantage of that, but in the long run, how much $ have we and do we spend at HSN on “Craft Days.” Next craft event is set for Oct. 8. When HSN had their first craft show and announced that there would not be the “All Day $5.00 shipping” it was also announced that to “make up” for that, the price of the craft items had been reduced. I think there are other plans in the making which will happen, maybe over time, maybe sooner. But I definitely think something “bigger” is up. As always, vendors think shoppers are not savvy about buying. We, as customers, are NOT ostrich shoppers or buyers.
