Skittles: Something came to mind from your post. Maybe Joan could join forces with other vendors who sell on-line and used to be on HSN, QVC, etc. (or not) and form a home shopping marketplace, pooling their resources for advertising and maybe even purchasing power. This could include Lisa Robertson’s line and Elysee possibly, and even perhaps some others. Could you copy this and post it on Joan’s FB page, since I’m not on FB? If some successful brands like those I’ve mentioned joined forces and advertised, they might increase their sales over what they’d make on their own. I’m no expert, but it’s worth suggesting.
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesWaited all day for product I needed to be delivered. site showed delivery today. Late afternoon I checked. Wow. ups is horrible. shop site showed it was delivered to postoffice 6:30am, still states that….so I phoned post office they informed me ups always shows up about 11am. My mail is always delivered by 10:30am. Ok, went to ups site now shows delivered to post office 11am, but shopping site still shows earlier time. Boy are they posting lies in writing, then later changing time, but not on shopping site. I phoned qvc about this several times in past, obviously they don’t care enough to research. ups is in essence playing games.blaming me having to wait till tomorrow now on the postoffice. q site still not updated. Maybe if enough of us complain these shopping sites will do something. 8 days now to get 10 little loc n loc. In the meantime I cooked all day & had to put 10 meals in zip loc bags. Ugh. all mushed together. lol
What? YBF has had their own website for a while now. I discovered her website at least two years ago when I was trying to get her brow pencil and HSN had sold out.
Jennifer Stalone also has a website for Serious Skincare although she is on ShopHQ.
Websites are nice but when they align with these shopping networks they are able to reach into millions of households.
Andrew Lessman has a website too but he’s still on HSN and QVC.
I don’t care for celebrities lending their names to a brand and selling items for $$$$$. Over the years, HSN and QVC have dropped true designers for celebrities and I for one don’t like it.
The trend for home shopping networks is for leisure and casual wear, some of us do like to dress up or are looking for dress slacks, skirts, dresses, etc. to wear to work, church, etc.
Also, the shoe choices shown on-air are frumpy. You have to look online for a better selection but that’s limited too.
Thanks for Marla Wynne.
~ I kindly – implore all of you who love and respect animals to please, please, take a minute and write a letter to Mr. Mike George the President and CEO of Qurate Retail Inc – they own HSN and QVC. We can’t email him, but his very kind assistant, D. J. Mitchell, told me in a phone conversation that we need to send letters by regular mail, addressed to –
Office of the President Mr. Mike George
QVC Inc. 1200 Willson Drive
Studio Park, Westchester, Pa. 19380
Mail Code 219, D. J. MitchellThe envelopes need to be addressed that way so D. J. will receive them and give them to Mr. George. Otherwise it will not reach him directly.
Posting on the community forum is great, but if we can get as many caring people as possible to write and send letters, that will get results in stopping HSN and QVC from supporting products from countries that are so abominably cruel to animals.
In our wonderful country it’s rather difficult to fully realize the abject cruelties that dogs, cats, and other animals are subjected to in other parts of the world.
It’s horrible that HSN has discontinued Serious Skin Care, Elysee, and other co’s but are “supporting and spotlighting” South Korean products. The vendors and hosts will blather on endlessly about how the SK government has outlawed animal testing – they still do animal testing – and torture animals – they want our money and are playing us for fools. Well, we’re not fools.
The people in Korea and other countries who are fighting against these monstrous cruelties can use our help. And writing and mailing a letter to Mr. George is an easy simple act, but can make a difference.
The letter can be short, but graphic to get our point across – such as –
( Dear Mr. George,
As a good customer to both QVC and HSN, I along with many others will boycott both shopping networks because we can not and will not tolerate the selling of products from countries, like South Korea, that commonly practice the most abhorrently cruel treatment of animals. They raise dogs in the most deplorable conditions and maim them, inflicting horrendous unbearably painful injuries on those innocent, intelligent, animals before they mercilessly slaughter them, then eat them. Cats, and domestic livestock are treated no differently.Their treatment of children, who are born less than perfect, or poverty stricken is quite appalling.
There are people fighting such unspeakable cruelties, and we can help them by doing our part and not supporting products from countries, like South Korea, that commonly practice such monstrous, barbaric, inhumane acts.
Most sincerely, )
I hope you write a letter, and get other to do the same. I’m going to. Thank you so very much for caring, I’m very proud of all of you. (((Hugs)))
I was actually reading an article recently on how online shopping is trying to cut down on returns by not including return labels. Amazon is also trying to get people to return items to Kohls rather than using UPS. The article went on to state that some consumers are abusive with their returns. Wearing items for extended periods then returning right before the 30 days. Food items mostly eaten and then returned. Amazon is actually banning some people for life!
Transparency has NEVER been HSN’s strong suit. Today I bought Dr. Ho’s pain reliever kit. Watched the full presentation with Coleen Lopez. Placed my order and guess what? On back order. Not one time was that mentioned. At least QVC, will mention during their presentation, “all items will ship on such and such date.” Not HSN. SO annoying. For those of us who really want the item, being on back order won’t deter us from buying. A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G! And I agree, honesty and straight forwardness goes along way. I was hoping that would be apart of their New Years resolution but I guess not.
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesNo celebratory bon voyage party?
Just had a bio-film major film out, who could pay for that type of press?
Hmmm. It wasn’t in the plans of Joy, She was sidewiped.
They dropped Her unceremoniously because of the bottom line.
Her mini factory and staff cost Hsn too much after the merger.
She’s a casualty of costs and benefits.
The HSN Guy who bought QVC did so out of pure fear!
AMAZON was going to buy QVC, that’s what was in the pipeline.
And To keep out this scary manmouth out of squashing HSN or QVC and prevent AMAZON get a competing up and running tv shopping market,
HSN GUY bought QVC to save his skin…and kill the competition.JOY MANGANO was HSN and vice versa.
They were a symbiotic brand.
HSN has no new personalities or brands to set themselves apart.
Weick Ming Mangano Iman etc
everyone has apple, hp, etc. and how many orgami steel shelves do you need?
HSN has started its death knoll.In the long term, HSN Guy, is hoping for the next “Next”
we will see,
but lets see if He doesn’t sell out this merged HSNQVC to Amazon
once He streamlines them and makes them more profitable.BC I am sure there will be a AMAZON SHOPPPING NETWORK
as a competitor or as the buyer/owner of newly named HSN-QVC.
BC AMAZON has the bucks and the muscles.
Posted in Forum: Clearance, Special & CouponsI have to admit when QVC got involved with HSN I dropped shopping here. I just feel that QVC has been bossy to people on the forums and didnt want to see that happen here too. Probably has but since I am not around I dont know.
Anyway, what have you bought in the past few months that you consider a really good deal that you are happy with? What comes to mind, I’m looking for inspiration, lol.
The Arcade Games are bait for HSN to get shopping traffic to their sites.. It is a global online retailer. It is perfectly legal for them to do it. The problem is the bait turns into being a lottery. A game of chance. Normally a “lucky” person will win from time to time as with any games of chance. The illegal part of this equation is: 1. Computer bots and seasoned hackers playing against humans. If you see a player with millions of points in games on a daily basis,, 10 times out of 10 they are bots/hackers. This makes them guaranteed winners of prizes. 2. Rogue Company employees. Arcadium, HSN, & QVC rogue employees can manipulate the games in their favor. If you win at all as a human, you are very lucky. IMHO opinion, if you just enjoy playing arcade games for fun, then all these games can be played anywhere on the internet, but if you want to win prizes these days this is one of the places, but the odds are tremendously against you here.
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesIf you head over to the Q, there is a banner at the top of the screen that has a news release. Information that I was clueless about and some tribute/ historical videos…really interesting. My beloved Mom was an “early adopter “ of both HSN and QVC (I used to give her such grief and then look where I am now 😁). I could hardly believe they stated broadcasting on November 24, 1986…I know exactly where I was and what I was doing back then; like it was yesterday. I didn’t start my HSN and QVC shopping until my Mom lived with us for 5 years. Mr. Segel really started something.
Drooling hosts during food presentations. Do these people never eat at any other time? Then the cameras go in for a close up so we can see them chew each bite. Just makes me gag!!!
One thing I will say is QVC & HSN may have broken me of any shopping habit I thought I had. Their oversell & hyper sales pitches makes me question everything now, even when buying local.
Oh almost forgot, the clearance item that was decreased in price magically basically the same amount as the shipping charge, i.e.. before clearance $22 with free shipping but clearance price now is $18.50 plus $3,50 shipping. Do they think we can’t add?
Also have they cut down on the number of products offered per hour? It seems to be always the same things.
Could someone please give josie marin a towel to wipe her arms off? She may be a very nice person but that’s just downright creepy.
Why do all the hosts have to hug & give those silly kisses like these are long lost friends. We know they just saw each other back stage in makeup?
Lori Goldstein… her creations look like they’re from someone’s rag box from the 70’s. Please stop with the silly hems.
Kim Gravel & Mary DeAnglis… they may be from the south but they’re both trying to hard. They seem to be trying out for a Designing Women episode. That series was canceled in the 80s. I thought Mary was trying to imitate David but she’s just so harsh I can’t watch her.
Andrew Lessman’s reading the reviews on his products. I can read.
Ok. These are mainly QVC hosts but it’s because I tuned out the HSN hosts long ago.
Also I agree I really don’t like the 4 hour re-run that both networks have adopted thru the night. Sure it is cost saving measure but that means even less products.
We just need the description, colors, prices..stop the hyper sell.
Sorry once I started I got wound up.
Posted in Forum: BeautyI had a feeling this was going to happen when HSN stopped restocking the products. Like others said it would have been nice to get a heads up from someone. I sure hope elysee goes on another shopping channel because I can’t afford their website prices (not that their not worth them). Plus I like autoahip!! I don’t want them to go to QVC because their autoahip only lasts st most 2 years so it’s kind of pointless. I’d rather they go to evine. I never want to stop using Elysee so I will follow them wherever they go so long as they stay affordable like on HSN. man,the thought of having to use something else is so disappointing. Once you’ve used the best where do you go from there? I tried skinn’s PEP 40 when I ran out holding out for autoahip to start shipping again and it was horrible. My skin was going downhill. Finally called elysee and ordered from them. So I just dont know what in the world I would use if this is no longer affordable for me.
Hello everyone ,
I notice when the item reflects only a few , you will get the one of the awful boxes .
I think the items are returns that are sent back without the original packaging .
I recently complain to CS for the first time in years regarding poor shipping and packaging .
Personally, I feel the merger with QVC ruin HSN . QVC customers are awarded many of the perks we ask for in that long suggestion survey. For example a customer can get paid for shopping .
I am very upset many of my favorite vendors are gone. Based on rumors many left due to the contract changes . The vendor would need to sell double to profit . Very sad times . I never dream my favorite shopping channel since my late teens would change in such a drastic way for the worse. I will try to remain a loyal customer if possible . i refuse to purchase rubber waist pants at any age lol .
I did a lot of shopping in the between midnight and 5a, when I have insomnia (which is mostly every night). Now there is nothing to watch or buy. I used to have packages 2-3 days of week. This week I am down to zero. Good for the wallet bad for HSN and QVC.
Posted in Forum: HSN TVWas searching to see when Joy was going to be on and realized her page wasnt coming up. I know things have to change from time to time but I agree with another customer, I think they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Ive been shopping with HSN and QVC since the beginning, Im really sad to see some of the changes. A lot of my favorite hosts are gone and the rookies are like mannequins… no personality and they all are all size O. This company has forgotten who their customers are who helped build them.
