No $5 Shipping is saving me money!
Without the usual $5 shipping special, I have reduced my craft spending on HSN. Thank you for forcing me to curb my normal craft spending. I feel sorry for Sara Davis for visiting from the United Kingdom and will probably not experience her usual sellouts on her fabulous products. I am sure Anna Griffin, Cricut, Diamond Press, and the rest of the Vendor will feel the difference in the loss of sales during March 2020 Craft Month. Now shopping on Amazon, Ebay or crafterscompanion.com will be more attractive than HSN.

I’m with you completely! I cleared my cart of everything (over $200) and buying nothing. Not interested watching any further today.
-
I turned off the channel. First time in 22 years!
-
Same here. Not buying anything. I would have easily found 3-5 things to buy, if the shipping was $5.00. Now, I’m able to resist and buy nothing. Slimy move HSN. Even your Hosts were left in the dark. Sweet Shannon, on the face book live with Sara, in the afternoon yesterday, still believed there would be $5.00 shipping. So did Sara! So you told no one, upfront, apparently. Hope you suffer the consequences of your decision.

Last night (or early this morning) I dumped a $450 order.
I wrote SARA too. I am sorry they have sold her out . Hopefully she will take her product and sell it off her own site. She ships FREE to the USA for orders over $70 I believe.Time to sever my relationship with HSN … looks like.

I canceled two items and bought the exact same items at Joanne’s for $3 less! I’m keeping the Cricut Joy because it is on flexpays, but I think my HSN craft days are over!
-
I agree. We should boycott. If we did, the company’s would notice there items were not being purchased and I’m sure HSN would then take notice.

I had almost 400.00 in my cart at 12:15 am I had watched Sara and Craig live live anticipated buying her products, watched all the Anna’s previews and made my list and had Diamond Press along with Totally Tiffany to purchase along with Cricut Joy. Throughout the day I would of spent $1000.00 yes, I too saved! HSN isn’t getting my monthly spending.
-
Same here … hopefully Sara will sell on her own website.
My relationship with HSN is very likely over.
I was at $450 when it dawned on me they were indeed going to charge me over $50 to ship.
The weight of that package would be lucky if it pushed 8 lbs. They were instead charging me for the weight of GOLD BARS.

I cannot find the change from the $5 shipping/24 hr event to “regular” shipping charges on the internet. I feel very disappointed that this change was not publicized for customers to plan accordingly. I have found that reasonable business practices can be told in an up front manner so this “hidden change” and subsequent charge seems even more injurious. I do a LOT of shopping online and am alarmed at the shipping charges relative to other vendors. So far I have spent $1200 and about $200 is shipping. This is an estimate. I have never seen shipping charges like this apart from large heavy furniture. It seems as though the shipping change could be done according to your charge or other more flexible ways. For instance, I see “spend $75 and shipping is free”…the dollar amount determined by the business. Or shipping charges up to $100 are…..between $100-$300 are……etc. This practice reminds me of credit card charges that can be obscure and devious. Going forward I will make an effort to purchase items elsewhere.

I already have enough stuff to practically open a craft shop as it is, and hsn is saving me money too because I’m not buying anything today and have turned off the channel.. I probably would have spent at least $500 or $600, and it feels so good to feel free of spending anything today. Thanks, hsn. If this continues I won’t ever even be watching a craft day again.

I just got up at 4:30 AM to anxiously start watching Craft Day or to watch the overnight shows I recorded. I was shocked to learn that there was no $5 shipping. I immediately deleted my order and turned off my TV. This is the first Craft Day I have ever missed. I think since HSN and QVC merged both companies have gone down hill.
-
I had over $600 in purchases in my cart. Then I realized there was no $5 shipping. My husband will be so happy that I didn’t spend his money on craft items this month! I refuse to pay such ridiculous amounts for shipping when I know it doesn’t cost HSN that amount to ship all my purchases in one box. You lost my business!
-
Same here! Ended up just buying one additional item in addition to the TS bundle. I can deal with $10 shipping for those two but spending $5 to ship something that costs $6-$8, like the materials, is not going to happen!
-
NO $5.00 shipping??! I too woke up early to place my $400.00 (plus) order this morning. I am deleting every single item in my cart and turning off my TV. What a rotten thing to do to your loyal customers. SHAME ON YOU HSN, I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THAT!
-
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I guess that saids it all . Turning off the TV
-
I just realized that no $5 shipping today!!!! I have bought 3 items before I realized it….so yeah, I’m done for today. Too bad because I have spent some serious money on craft days in the past. I remember when QVC stopped doing craft days…sad…..
-
Right there with you. No buying from me today. Not even fun to watch anymore since demos are nearly nonexistent anymore. No $5 shipping? I’m done.
-
Very disappointing for craft week!!
-
What a debacle this craft day turned out to be today! Anna, Sara, Beth, and all the rest of the vendors we still love your items and will be supporting you and getting our craft fix elsewhere. Sorry for all the work you put into to get set up for today but I cannot justify paying a huge shipping bill. I guess there is some good news I saved about $600.00 to $700.00 today, and made my husband happy at least. The other good news, I will be using my existing craft stash that I have yet to use. In the long run I win and you lose HSN! This debacle matches your shipping disaster you put us through when you redid your distribution centers. One ticked off customer!

I’m wondering if this is their way of getting rid of craft day. It used to be 24 hours of different craft shows. Now they repeat the same shows during the night. I’m so disappointed they are not having the $5 shipping today. I was so looking forward to Craft Day.
I feel bad for Anna Griffin, Sara Davies, Tiffany Spaulding, etc. because they are going to miss out on selling a lot of items today. One can only hope HSN wakes up before Craft Day is over and reinstates the $5 shipping we’ve all come to know and love; otherwise they are going to lose a lot of business. It’s too bad because I really enjoy Craft Day…or at least I used to enjoy Craft Day.
