Increasing Postage Fees
Am I the only one upset by the rising fees to return an item? It makes you take a halt and rethink what you purchase. At HSN for 5lbs or LESS it’s $7.95. The fees have risen consistently and not in line with my income. And yes, we all know the problems we’ve had with shipments, increased postage fees, stalled cargo boats, etc. but before anyone thinks this is fair, I will be glad to list a myriad of other companies I order from and what they charge to send and return? A of a lot less than HSN and QVC. I just think it’s nervy and what I’ve been doing is sending the package back my way. It’s a little annoying but I same $2-3! And how annoying as well is that you have to PRINT your return label on most of the items you’ve received in order to return them. So, I scour the internet and find items similar to the items I’m interested in (if I like them enough.) And I always find a better deal, less fees and good quality. Most times I just forget about them. But I ask again, fellow shoppers: am I the only person annoyed by these ridiculous fees?

I have to seriously consider each purchase I make—carefully reading reviews, looking for the products elsewhere, etc. before I order anything—all due to possibly paying outrageous 2-way shipping fees.
It sure cuts down on the fun of shopping, it becomes more of a chore as time goes on.

The cost to return stuff now to HSN is astronomical! You end up losing the cost of your original shipping (if your item didn’t qualify for free shipping) + the cost for the return shipping. I know a few months back something that I returned it ended up costing my close to $20.00 ($7.50 original shipping cost + $9.95 return shipping). And if you have to return multiple items then it really adds up. Plus, most of the return labels are thru UPS. And if you live somewhere far away from a UPS center the cost to drive there to ship the item back out really adds up too. Also, where I live UPS charges to drive here to pick up returns…..so that’s not really an option either. I love shopping HSN but I find returns are just too costly!

Sorry but that is much too restrictive. Purchase between these days, those hours. No. As I said check out other online shops. Much better service as far as shipping costs go.. and I truly feel we are overpaying for items which certainly are not up to the old standards of QVC HSN. I miss the wonderful designs of Simonton, Randolph, Louis del’Olio, Dennis Basso’s old collections and I lived for Joan Rivers. I have not purchased one item from “her” collection since we lost her. Everything is cheap and expensive. Covid really opened my eyes in more ways than I ever expected.

I also feel the same way about what they charge for shipping.

I agree!
But, even worse is the fact that when you order multiple items, and they are sent in one package, why do we pay shipping on each item?????-
That really gets me as well. Why do we all take this? Not like they have the corner on online buying.
