What is Going on?
I’m just going to say it; what the heck is with HSN and QVC? I’m going through my closets and I find items I purchased years ago by the designers I really liked. They still look good and I wear them. Linea by Louis Del’Olio, Dennis Basso, Simonton, Slinky Brand and of course JOAN RIVERS! The stuff that is presented now is actually insulting to her good name. Dennis Basso has changed his style and I no longer watch him and I adored him. The “designers” now keep showing the same thing over and over again. How many pairs of denim do you need? How many LOGO tops do you need when they all look alike. And Belle by Kim ? all the same all the time. I’m saddened and disappointed by the huge change in these platforms and disappointed in the quality in the items I do receive. Then QVC gets upset when too many items are returned. There’s a reason for the returns. I doubt this will get printed but I’m just so upset because both of these stations have gone way downhill. And then getting rid of the hosts we’ve followed for years? When Pat and Jane go, I’m gone not that anyone would care. But how I wish the shows were like they were before the merger.

If you’ve noticed, the “newer” hosts are younger and supposedly attracting a younger client base. It will never ever happen if you continue to try to sell those tacky, ugly, inferior clothes. As I’ve said before, and someone else reiterated, I have things in my closet from way back when they were real designers on HSN & QVC. AND they’re in great shape, they still look good, and I love them. How many pairs of jeans can you sell? They all look the same! So many other places to buy lovely clothes at a decent price. I miss the former hosts.

Hi SUZYQ260 Hi di192-HAPPY SPRING TO YOU BOTH 🌺🤗🦋… kinda have to AGREE w/what you’ve both stated-ESPEC ABOUT HIGH PRICE$ & NO VARIETY/LOWER QUALITY!!! Tho I AM GRATEFUL FOR and enJOYing 5-flexpays today (there ARE some GOOD BUYS). However, DEF NOT buying as much as I DID/WOULD HAVE in past-even WITH 5 pays BUY (2) items & you’re AT $7. s/h ALREADY-ADD$ UP REAL FAST! Buuuut… I ‘think’ I may just be seeing Quarate ‘trying’ (… MAYBE…?).
I too MISS some of the Hosts’ of yesteryear-I RARELY, if ever, ‘watch’ anymore. I REALLY enJOYed Bill Green with Connie Craig! And QVC’s Lisa Roberson (AND Mason) and Judy Kroll! Paul Deasy too, of course… -smile and sad face… And others’-too many to name. What are we to do? Time passes, things change… Sometimes for the better-sometimes not. Here’s to STAYING 🌅🪷👍POSITIVE AND HOPING🤞FOR THE BETTER! My best to you both🤗❤️

Yes. What is going on. Poor hosting. Leah W. Is never there anymore. Carolyn & Dan are gone. Prices are high. Gary Goben is great with Denim & co.. But Jane Brown looks like she doesn’t even want to be there and rushes through the item without even explaining sizing Etc. The cost of flowers has tripled and you get less. The prices are outrageous and no one qvc or hsn apologises for the high pricing. Debbie d at HSN tries to scare you into buying an item. The hosts used to be sincere about selling you something. Now they don’t care and are just trying to get rid of excess stock at hi prices.
I miss. Carolyn & Dan. Bring them back. They were the best. And they made you laugh as they were selling you something. -
The prices for clothing is outrageous. It had to happen though because neither one of them can present a product without an “expert” hence the price increase to pay for it.
I bought a kitchen aid mixer like the recent TSV two years ago for 149$. now they claim the value is 549$. We don’t all live in New York or find these inflated prices a bargain. -
I feel vindicated! I thought I was just being annoying by complaining about the demise of QVC and HSN. I’m happy to know other former loyal customers feel the same. Time for them to clean house and replace the tired old brands which have become so tacky with some fresh and new “designers.” PS. What ever happened to Isaac Mizrahi? Same old same old. And I love him. I’m happy I purchased his line when he was creative and interesting.

I really have to agree. I have leather coats from Terry Lewis I still love and wear. Nothing like that is available anymore! I was watching Beauty Report on Wed. and all I heard was a bunch of lies!
When presenting a product all Amy said is that the product is a Customer Pick all the time!
Sorry the product is not and has horrible reviews! It’s not a customer pick!! Thank You!
Makes me mad with false advertising! -
I agree! The prices are crazy & quality is not the same. I find better buys in our little city!
-
I totally agree. I spend more time on the forums than I do watching. I used to tune in and stay there. Now if I get 30 minutes a week it is a miracle. Expensive. Better places to buy for less cost and the same Made in China label. I guess the good old days of shopping online are not coming back anytime soon. Nothing so wonderful that I have to watch. So many duplicates. And lots of time being spent NOT explaining the items. Friendly chatting that really does not help me better understand what is being sold.

I actually prefer to see the designers, NOT the lifestyle brand ambassadors. The designers explain the products like they are their babies, and make you listen to see the lengths, colors, materials etc. When its the brand ambassadors, its not the same and I don’t want to buy anything.

I totally agree with you. And please don’t forget Bob Mackie. Who was always so elegant and a great designer. I have many of his lovely tops. Besides a lack of quality control, a few of the hosts needs training in vocabulary usage. Lastly, Amy with the LOGO designer, when they present together needs to end. Too much silliness.

I have been saying that for quite a while now. I have clothes in my closet from these same designers from years ago that cannot compare to the they are trying to sell us today. I don’t buy clothes from either channel anymore. I have found other venues.
