CRAFTERS……Please read……
Please cancel all your orders! Do not pay $5.00+ on s/h! Especially when they ship most of your orders in one box. Just saying……it’s wrong. So many of us especially senior citizens look so forward to 24hr Craft Day! Going to go to Joanns, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and use their coupons.

I didn’t have to cancel any orders because when I saw the shipping costs I deleted everything before I ordered and haven’t even been watching. I don’t know what hsn were thinking. I hope their sales were low enough to make a negative impact for them. Charging so much for each individual item when they send it all in the same box is just pure greed on their part. They are paying wholesale prices, so they’re going to make a big profit even with $5 shipping or they would never have done it in the first place. They lost at least several hundred dollars from me alone. A very move on their part, and no reason given for it.

I am new on this forum, but I agree that it is sad to see the $5 shipping go. I have bought nothing so far today, and probably won’t. So many people wait for Craft Day to splurge, and are now so disappointed! What a shame! I think HSN lost a lot of money today!
-
They lost a bunch from me. I still have the special in my orders but may dump it. Passed on several things because of the shipping not consolidating. Quite disappointed.
-
I bought nothing and I had a long list of wants. Not going to pay outrageous shipping costs. Crafters Revolt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Agree completely! Canceled my order.

I like to “Thank” HSN today for saving me from charging anymore on my credit card due to your not offering free or at least $5 shipping for my purchases. Really? Most crafters are on limited incomes….what in marketing forgot about this. I did manage to spend $20 only because I had $5 Kash from a return that actually cost me $15 to return because it was too big for me to tote down to the UPS office myself and had to pay to have them pick it up. (So much for your free returns policy…right?) So I used that so-called rebate to cover the cost of some adhesive that was on clearance….hopefully it hasn’t been lying in your warehouse forever and is still usable.
There were many items I would have loved to have purchased today on flex pay, but not for items shipped in the same box at astronomical shipping costs. So thanks for smacking me back to reality and reminding me that I already have a boat load of unused craft items from other sale days to use up. Hey…keep this policy up for the next 3 months and I’ll get that card paid off real quick and won’t bother wasting my time watching your show. I’ll just go buy what I want directly from your vendors…who offer free shipping over a certain dollar value!

I’d also like to thank hsn for saving me so much money today. It’s not as though I need another thing. I’ve got enough stuff to open a shop and really must make better use of what I already have instead of adding more to it. I wasn’t even tempted. I was so disgusted about no $5 shipping that I switched off the channel, but before I did that I was completely unmoved by even the things I had wanted to buy.

I NEVER thought I wouldn’t buy absolutely nothing on “Craft Day” but I didn’t today! And pretty proud of myself. I didn’t die or melt or have a heart attack 🤪
It was a great feeling and I think a new trend for me. God knows I have plenty and don’t need to spend hundreds like I normally would.-
It was such a freeing feeling not to buy a thing today. I usually spend hundreds, but it felt better not to.

Didn’t order a thing today. Too much shipping
for everything to be sent in one box. -
I also thank HSN for saving me a ton of money do to the outrageous shipping costs. So much for customer appreciation! Always looked forward to craft days until now. HSN can keep their crafts. RIP off. I hope all crafters boycott HSN.
-
I’m adding other complaints because there were several things wrong today.
What bothered me most was the manipulation (read: lies) about the Today’s Special “sell out.” There was the constant announcement of sell out; then the “we sold out in that configuration; here it is in a different configuration;” then finally “We searched and searched and found more..” PULEEZE. If you believed this “sell-out,” HSN has a bridge to sell you. And what was “Crafting with Suzanne” all about? Nothing new there but disappointment.. Clearly someone new is in charge of crafting at HSN, and that sly creature thinks we’re .-
I don’t think that’s anything new. They always want to create a sense of urgency to buy before things sell out. I take whatever they say with a huge dollop of salt. They are the most hard sell company I have ever seen.

last word left out above DUMB!

Can join the club on “get the $5 fill your cart back pronto” team!!! I called a rep because I thought they just hadn’t changed their headers yet, she checked with a supervisor who told her Nope!
So instead of buying my usual 25-30 items this round I bought 3 and only did that because I had a coupon that covered this shipping charges. Really made me lose interest too as the shipping charges here make little sense anyway. 1 item ships for $5.50, 3 items ship for 3.50 huh?…and in the vendor’s boxes so not a lot of extra effort was required there!
In this day of $25 to $75 orders being shipped for free, HSN has stayed in the past on this issue. And the $75 orders I’m speaking about are from the UK, air shipped to the US and I receive my order with a week!!!
So I don’t mind shopping there for sure!
Please Wake UP HSN!!!! Shipping charges are a big deal to crafter’s, and they are a deal breaker too! -
Just a heads up……..Check Amazon and Amazon Prime FREE SHIPPING lots of Cricut Joy items in stock. Check for other crafting things too.
-
The least they could have done was , as you said they ship it to you in as few boxes as possible was to have a price per amount spent example $5.00 for every $100 spent etc. not per item, they made a giant boo boo here
-
I’m so dumb!! I spent $28 on shipping!! 😠 If this is the new shipping policy, I will also stop shopping on craft day!! Too bad because I love my HSN crafts and craft day!! As I data analyst, it would be interesting to know if the reduced sales and increased shipping costs netted HSN a wider profit margin!!
