ShopHQ (Evine) in Trouble
Dimitri James (Skinn Cosmetics) and the Beekman guys left just in time. Following is a snippet of an article that appeared in today’s Star Tribune in Minnesota (ShopHQ hdqtrs): “But the company remains in the grip of a difficult turnaround, as Peterman and Invicta’s Eyal Lalo try to return it to profitability. The retailer is in third place behind QVC and HSN in the home shopping market, and reported a worse-than-expected loss of $21 million, or 31 cents a share, in the first quarter.”

I also called Evine the “watch channel”
I’ve written and complained twice. I refuse to even check their schedule any longer because I know it’s going to say,
“INVICTA”. I can’t believe they are profitable any more.-
I bought several watches one day I didn’t receive one(invicta) the treatment I got from customer service was terrible I felt I was being accused of stealing it, they wanted a police report they wanted a declaration that I didn’t have it they called UPS they wanted me to walk through my 443 apartment building before submitting a lost item, After this I never ordered anything again. And not to mention one day I ordered a watch and it was used and was even sized to someone elses wrist size.

Invicta gave ShopHQ/Evine 6 million dollars this year. Do you really think they’re going to get rid of the Invicta watches? Research it.

What good is it going to do if it sinks that shopping channel——maybe a tax write off? Hasn’t improved ranking

Evine is known as the watch channel. Get rid of the watches—-how many times a day can you watch Invicta
-
No kidding. Overkill on the watches. How many watches can one own???

Evine is in trouble!!! My opinion…
There GREAT FOR JEWELRY….LOVE LOVE LOVE MICHAEL VALATUTTI
AND CHUCK CLEMENCY……the clothes are not fashionable BUT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN QVC AND HSN!!!
QVC HAS BECOME VERY EXPENSIVE IN THE PAST YEAR. Purchasing less-
Michael Valatitti(?) jewelry made in Canada and it’s a pain to have to get to
Post Office make out Declarations if you have to send anything back. Has happened twice to me and will not buy from him again. -
I love ShopHQ/Evine. They have the most gorgeous jewelry…Chuck Clemency, Dallas Prince, Victoria Wieck to name a few. You can also find some higher end designers such as Marc Bouwer. I have never had trouble with their customer service. With what I spend, I would think I could keep the network afloat.

I still buy from HSN, but I must say the S&H charges are a bit much. I have the same issue with ShopHQ. QVC’ s costs are a little more reasonable.
I will say, ShopHQ’s C/S reps need
to be retrained. Rather rude.
Wonder if Waterford will stay with
them.-
S&H are high. Wait until you want to return something and realize you are credited for the purchase price only. You’re stuck with the price you paid for S&H when you purchased the product. So you pay for the initial S&H PLUS whatever it costs you for shipping back the product. Too costly for me. I’m shopping at Dillard’s and Macy’s from now on.

So, what do you call HSN, getting rid od Show Hosts and Vendors? They may be number 2 but losing LOTS of customers because of bad business practices. QVC isn’t in the clear either. With the advent of Amazon and other on line etailers, tv shopping may be a thing of the past.

I was thinking the same today. Most of the products can be bought elsewhere and the shipping takes too long, and most companies will have free shipping over a certain amount, or on special days, Amazon is free 2 day and now 1 day shipping (where I live because we have a warehouse here now) and I am a prime customer and I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon. I really do believe home shopping networks will be a thing of the past.
-
I still like to see the demonstrations or how a certain item fits the models. You don’t have that with amazon. I’m also a prime member.
