What goes on behind the scenes?
I sometimes wonder about things, little things. big things. It doesn’t matter. I don’t worry. I wonder. Like what goes on behind the scenes at HSN? Who’s the person who checks the checker? Why is the website never up to date with size availability? Why are some vendors allowed to sell clothes without a size chart? Why does it seem that some people are really under prepared with their show presentations and others are simply fabulous? Do the show hosts have their own private dressing rooms? Why is size 8.5W different among shoe vendors? What happened to straight talk?
Stuff like that. I guess I will continue to wonder until forever.

Hi ebony46-🌺🌈🦋 Happy Spring to you! WELL SAID my friend! On a diff note-I was so HAPPY to see your post here… because I HAVE WANTED FOR SO LONG TO TELL YOU “I really REALLY APPRECIATE “YOUR” REVIEWS!”!! As an AVID review reader-AND-being an HSN/QVC shopper 20+ yrs-one gets to “KNOW” whose reviews CAN BE TRUSTED TO BE “TRUE TO ITEM”! Now, I HAVE THE CHANCE TO SAY A PERSONAL THANK YOU! You are very descriptive in such a PERFECTLY ‘informative’ way… I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT! Keep on reviewing-they’re so HELPFUL! Oh, feels so GOOD to FINALLY get the chance to say that… -smile. MY BEST TO YOU🤗❤️

Happy Spring to you too, DelrayLaw. I appreciate your comments about my reviews. Like you, I read the reviews before buying anything. When a reviewer says something about the fit or the quality or the color, it helps with making a decision about a purchase. I will look for your reviews as I’m guessing that you like straight talk too.

Hi ebony and Delraylaw. I go back many years and during that time HSN was opened to showing the customers behind the scenes. Of course this was done with the previous ownership. At that time there were at least 4 people maintaining the cameras, watching the show hosts, giving help when needed through an earplug, etc.. They were also able to watch the sales and inform the host on the amount of sales and if more than one item, share the info. The hosts also at that time were able to give a good description of the garment which included size, width, etc.. Yes, there was an online measurement guide which was helpful to a point. Knowing that, the hosts were able to adjust their presentations. Also, hosts were not permitted to purchase while selling, but they gave signals to the techs or to family members at home watching to order. There was no high pressure selling. The management today were previous owners of HSN and I surmise ordered a persuasive tactic to purchase. Funny, in a sense because a hard sell sends me out of a retail store, and, in this case to turn to another channel. Both of you are correct on the reviews I will read the reviews prior to purchase unless I trust the vendor. So much of yesterdays format no longer exists. Today it is all about sales and leave the customer longing for more information. The enjoyment of shopping leaves quite a bit to be desired.
