I am SO SICK of nothing being manufactured in the USA. If HSN & QVC (under the same umbrella corporation ), they are selling THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS of orders from all over the country. With such a high order why can’t these shopping networks make these clothes and other items in a USA manufacturing plant. Do they realize how many people are out of work??? And don’t tell me that there are not enough AMERICANS who can sew, mass produce, etc. It’s ALL ABOUT THE GREED & THE ALMIGHTY $$$.
One more thing, why doesn’t HSN have FREE EXCHANGES like QVC???
I’m going to stop buying until they both get their greedy prices down & start making in the USA!
Peace to all, stay safe!
Why do you feel bad ? I saw the same topic on QVC. You mention basically every race one could think of .
I think you made a bait topic that will never get the outcome you are clearly looking for on HSN,
I feel HSN should hire more black vendors after shopping hear for over 25 years . The few we have air time can’t compare to 95 % white , other race vendors . I purchase what i like regardless . You have a right to make a topic about whatever floats you boat.
My op has nothing to do with race . I am black and would love to see more black vendors .
PS Hello to my game night friends . I missed you all. Huggggggs
HSN released good hosts..Why? These shopping channels combined and that was a huge mistake, in my opinion. You used to be able to tune into different channels for different vendors, now they’re interchangeable. All around a bad idea.Ev EVINE, ShopHQ, Shop NBC …am I forgetting one?? As the name changes so does the what they offer. Their clothes stink. Very cheaply made. At one time you could count on them for higher end merchandise and jewelry. Too many watches.
They’re hosts are also not that great… Haven’t watched that channel in over a year.
I still prefer QVC to any other shopping channel. Their clothes are good quality. Good selection and the sizes in clothes are consistent. S&H charges are excessive though.
Amazon..meh! Maybe for somethings.
Andrew has been having monthly specials each month on HSN with another one coming in June. HSN and QVC are sharing some of the same vendors now such as Andrew, Beekman 1802, Patricia Nash, Clark’s, Dooney & Bourke, Doll 10 and others. Maybe I watch the shopping channels too much so very little gets by me. 😊
Posted in Forum: HSN TVQurate Corp. owns both QVC and HSN and we’ve experienced the downfall of a once vibrant, fun and fair priced Shopping network. My experience these past few months is, QVC has been the better of the two. 5-6 easy paydays or pop up’s for certain times of the day. Better merchandise, not expensive items we shouldn’t be buying during these times. They have better s/h charges too. If you buy an item on easy pay, they split the s/h charges too!!! QVC is much better in my opinion.
I am not worried about U.S. made products, as this virus has been in every state for weeks now and that is apparent now with the increased testing. I am more worried about getting products from China due to the virus. I also do not want to buy anything else from China if I can help it. I would rather help support American workers. I do wish the home shopping vendors would consider moving their production to the U.S. Products used to be cheaper if they were made in China but not any longer. Valarie Parr Hill on QVC has all of her products made there and they are quite expensive. I might add that I sanitize everything coming into the house, including the mail.
I am 58 and have gotten fantastic pieces from HSN and QVC over the past few years. I get so many compliments on my outfits, whether they be super casual or more dressy. My favorite things are the shoes that come in wide. My whole life I have had bunions and there were never any cute shoes in wide in the stores, if they even had wide. Now, I have to control myself with the shoe shopping! Vionic, Bzees, Earth, Alegria, Skechers often have wide widths along with exclusive colors on QVC/HSN.
Posted in Forum: HSN TVjust reading all the nothing comments so and so is rude and its rude to comment on someone being rude and oh my god its a shopping network! keep your opinions to yourself. why we have to endure remarks on the air over what so and so thinks on facebook is such an imposition to the host the vendor and us watching who don’t care at least not on air. it takes time from the whole point of the program and that is selling stuff and us buying. do you not buy a brand at macys due to the designer being rude? of course not because we don’t watch them on tv and by the way that whole business is competitive and hard and who wouldn’t get grouchy or short. give people a break. were only human. and its qvc calling the shots not hsn. so all your negative remarks could hurt someone for real. so remember that and realize how hard these people work and d.g has been around and worked hard shes not an internet sensation she did it the hard way. I don’t like all this that’s happening via internet, it makes the u.s look bad. its destroying some business and nobody cares so long as they save a few bucks. well people mean more than that so shop hsn but go shop local too before you cant.
I also only purchased 2 items with $3.50 shipping when I normally buy many items.
I agree with everything said except QVC did not buy HSN. HSN was bought by the same parent company that owns QVC, Zulily and several other online retail shopping.
I didn’t wait for an invoice. looked at my shopping cart and saw what they were going to charge me. Then I deleted all but two items in my cart. The two I kept had $3.50 shipping. Somehow I knew this was coming. Since QVC has bought HSN, HSN is no longer a good place to shop. My only uncertainty is whether QVC is deliberately trying to bankrupt HSN or if the execs really are that inept.
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingWhat happened to $5 all-day shipping on crafts? Did QVC cancel it? If so, they are going to lose a lot of sales. I just cleared my shopping cart to only two items.
Hi all, really good news!
I just talked with Allison Konick, the rep for Elysee. Allison was wonderful, very helpful, and has worked with Linda for years, and also other brands on HSN and QVC, plus her husband, an Australian, took care of arranging Linda’s TV appearances in Australia.
* Linda has – not – sold the Elysee co, but needed to find investors/backers to help finance the companies growth, and has several interested parties. But that is not to say that the co will not be sold. Of course Linda wants to keep ownership, so hopefully the investors will be the answer.
* They hope to have their website up in one week, but it’s a complicated endeavor getting everything running smoothly.
*** There are some skin care and other products available.
* Allison said to email or phone her with any questions, and also the kind of products you need.
Her email address – Allisonkonick7@gmail.com
Her cellphone # ~ 732-580-0293
I asked if Linda was going to be on any home shopping networks, and at this time Allison didn’t know. However she did say that Linda likes to have a one on one relationship with her customers and might find other venues such as podcasts, etc.
I told Allison to please tell Linda that we all love miss her and want her back on the air.
The very bet to all of you 🙂
I think HSN has gone downhill since Mindy Grossman left. She took a somewhat dull shopping channel and turned it into a series of lovely, interesting boutiques. I remember how beautiful the sets were, with a different one for each vendor. That sells merchandise, it seems to me. Now they’re letting go of so many long-term brands, including some of their biggest sellers. This makes no sense to me unless they’re planning to close the place down.
Vendors who’ve left HSN and QVC should discuss forming a virtual home shopping marketplace and pooling their resources for advertising and other expenses. Their overhead would be much less than HSN’s. Lisa Robertson and some of the brands that have been dropped by HSN should explore this possibility. HSN should beg Mindy Grossman to do some consulting for them. She seems to be an excellent turnaround artist.
Saharajane I have been shopping elsewhere for shoes since the fit at HSN is no longer there. Seems I either need to go up or down a size depending upon the shoe and the manufacturer. Rather than do the returns, I now go locally and found they are less expensive. Shipping from other retail outlets is usually free and they have free returns as well. Like Pinkdoll, I do enjoy Jay King as well as Chaco Canyon, Heidi Daus and once in a while Rarities. On other occasions I shop at the Liquidation Channel where they have a certain percentage off on a daily basis. Their jewelry line is gorgeous. Also looking forward to IMAN. On another note, I do not enjoy watching QVC or Shop HQ.
The biggest draw to HSN for me, is Jay King. I go out of my way to watch him, like a TV show. He’s also what got me watching HSN in the first place. Before that, I had never watched any shopping channel. I don’t care much for QVC. The only thing I’ll watch over there is Carolyn Pollack – American West. But I don’t think her jewelry is as good of value as Jay King. Other than that, I’m not interested in QVC’s products…and I don’t connect with their hosts. But if HSN’s prices keep going up, I’ll be buying less & less.
