It is so sad since HSN moved!!! No plus size models, all skinny. Before had variety of models showing clothes on diff sizes, also tall, reg, petite models. Its like the awful way QVC does there show kinda. QVC just has pre taped tall skinny models not even in studio.
It seems QVC has destroyed what a wonderful shopping show HSN use to be. Now it seems I cant even get HSN, QVC in antenna TV. Iam not privledged like some people! I cant afford cable, streaming because have to buy several to see a few shows. I dont even have good internet.
Guess I wont be shopping here anymore if you make it harder for someone to access your show & really went downhill. Now seems having hosts be host & model more than before.
Oh & some of the designers dint want to have petite sizes & the lengths are seriously way to long, like on tall people can wear, not even reg. I cant & wont be altering everything because expensive! O guess you just want tall, skinny, rich women buying your clothes now. Iam sorry for HSN that QVC is dragging you down. They should of used your previous show as the perfect model for shopping network for womens fashions.
I had previous issues with HSN being decietful & ripping me off by forcing me to use spendable kash. That is a whole other hugh issue
Posted in Forum: FashionI’m confused. Why are a lot of the items on the HSN website showing QVC models? Are they not able to use HSN models? I see some photos of Liv, but everyone else is QVC, and recognizable as QVC models.
Almost thought I was shopping on QVC for a second… I dislike that. Wish they only used HSN models.
Posted in Forum: FashionDo you remember when HSN used to feature clothing that collaborated with a theme from upcoming Movies. All Designers like Heidi Daus ,Victoria Wieck and Anthony used to design products for the featured Movie collaborations. HSN usedto feature Joan Boyce, Iris Appel and a host of others that were fantastic and unique. La Joie , Avec Les Filles and Trish McEnvoy to name a few. This was Pre-Qurate takeover. 4 flex pay was the NORM, this switch to 2 and 3 flex pay is crazy. HSN had better shoe lines featured.Steve Madden created fantastic shoes only available on HSN.Perlier and Korres used to offer beautiful sets for the Holidays. Now it’s just generic merchandise. I like Christie Brinkley, Vivica Fox and Jacqueline Smith when they were on Shop NBC not so great as the end all for HSN.Overall, HSN used to carry better brands and more unique products. They got rid of Iman which is a shame. I still have handbags from Joy/Iman collab years ago. I started with HSN from Day 1 so I remember when they were head to head with QVC. Those days are long gone.Sad as I watch the slow and steady decline of a great shopping platform.
I think that the HSN move to PA was just a transitional step in the channel basically getting absorbed into QVC, so they are not putting much effort into establishing it in PA as a fully functioning entity like it was in Florida. How could HSN fire 900+ employees in Florida and then move everything to PA and everything would proceed as it was? They definitely did not HIRE 900 new people to replace the ones they lost…
Even from the on air and host perspective: I believe the hosts who did not move to PA just saw the writing on the wall and did not want to make a major life adjustment for something they will only be doing for another year or two before QVC just takes everything over. I also think the new class of HSN hosts being touted all over their social media is a way for us to like them so we are more forgiving when most of them fall short of the traditional standard of hosting. I have been watching home shopping across multiple channels for many years and have never seen any of the channels bring out 6/8 new hosts at one time and make sure the audience knows “these are our new class”. They usually just get casually thrown in one by one or hired as-needed.
I think it all amounts to more Q, less H.
Posted in Forum: HSN TVHello, I started to noticed how the flex pays have gone down. Is there a reason for this? I am saving money because I can’t afford large payments. I was looking at a dress tonight and it only has two flex payments on a $60 purchase. I started shopping because of the flex pays. On the last craft day. I couldn’t do what I would usually do because of the larger payments. However, I guess I am being weaned off shopping like this.
Also, who are these models on tv? So far I can’t relate to any of them and not to be negative, but a gal with a permanent smile is just freaky.
Just FYI for HSN, I shop for clothes most of the time on QVC. Hsn needs more variety. Just because some younger people are shopping line doesn’t mean they will remain loyal as your older customers
Just what we could use a little more of! Positive, fun posts🥰 WOW sounds like you have alot of great things!! I know how it is about shoes hurting your feet! I had Jessica Simpson sparkly booties I LOVED but they killed my feet so I had to send them back. I need to go through my closet again but I’ll definitely be keeping my Iman pants and blouses too! And my Giuliana dresses and joggers☺️ I love my things from Lacey Chabert’s collection too. Wearing a comfy robe by her right now! Anthony’s pieces are classic too and will stay in my wardrobe😊 love his florals! Also love my D2 jumpsuit and sweaters! And a Christian Siriano pink floral jumpsuit I haven’t gotten to wear yet! I have lots from QVC too including all my Bumblebella stuff that are my favorites💞 just too much to remember! I’ve only been shopping HSN for the last 5yrs probably! So I never got to see a lot of the older brands! Wish I had😀 You’re making me want to go through my closet tomorrow and organize and see what I’ve forgotten 😉
I don’t think HSN’s vision was ever to go back to the way it was. They might be trying to appeal to a younger audience. It doesn’t seem to be working. I don’t think HSN and QVC will become one. HSN will bring the Q down. I love shopping at Marshall’s and TJX . Getting great prices on clothes I like is fun. It seems HSN has lost many of their loyal customers. They need to do something soon. Having the same vendors over and over is boring. It really is sad watching the ship sink.
I stopped shopping HSN. Marshalls and TJMax have the cutest things at half the price. Very good quality too. I can go out shopping, try some pretty things on, and then go to lunch with my husband for the price (if not less) than shopping on HSN. I am 75 and I wouldn’t wear the clothing that they sell. They are so ugly. I wonder if they are trying to phase out HSN. It seems they really promote QVC.
Posted in Forum: Health & WellnessI have written to HSN and QVC on this subject for months. I get no response. I and my family have been shopping on HSN for years. We have purchased many things, and like most people, we have become somewhat attached to the hosts and guest hosts. As a retired business consultant, I fully understand the economies of consolidation. QVC has decided that it is in their economic interest, long term, to consolidate operations in one location. Good luck with that and May you achieve success.
Having said that, you are being more than a little short sighted with the future of your guest hosts and some of the models and support staff that served their appearances. Through out the COVID shutdown, you allowed remote broadcasts. Guest hosts did this effectively using inadequate lighting and facilities. The job was still effective. I have contacted some of the outstanding product presenters that we know, love, trust, and purchase from. They tell me they were offered no choice. Either move to PA or “see you later.”
I found this very dismissing of not only your fantastic guest hosts, but of your HSN viewers as well. I must conclude by your lack of response to my previous communication attempts, and the choices these fine people have been given, that the “see you later” goes for customers as well. The quest hosts I contacted are both males and have been with HSN for over ten years.
Both indicated they would set up proper remote areas at their expense if asked. Both said they would continue. Why doesn’t HSN continue with these great people? Your customers love them, trust them, and buy from them regularly. One man is so good at what he does his last five presentations were sell outs. HSN must realize after all these years that it is not always a wonderful product selling itself. It is the quality of the presentation.Lastly, their is no question that you can do remote guests easily. I watched yesterday as the outstanding chef Curtis Stone did remotes all day.
Recently, my aunt purchased a Lounge Doctor based on the recommendation of the guest host. Please take a moment to offer remotes to such people as Bob Circosta and Matt Peters. Your customers will appreciate it and so will the venders that they work with.Please help.

I must admit I am a little nervous about HSN moving to PA. I know that at first, there will be little to no change, but eventually, it will change. I shop at both HSN and QVC. I spend thousands yearly on shopping with HSN and QVC. I think HSN is much better in terms of pricing, and the hosts are more informative. I do think QVC should model after HSN. I like the host on QVC, but what was said in some of the other posts is true. Sorry, I don’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. HSN is my favorite, but the former shopping network Shop HQ, which went out of business, was more informative with product information. I wish all the hosts, both on QVC and HSN, much success. What happened to the models on HSN? I miss them. Sorry, the models on QVC are not as good at modeling clothing as HSN models. I just don’t know what it is. There is no personality there. I’m sorry that some of the models didn’t make the move. I hope that HSN keeps giving us great, affordable products

HSN seems to be adopting QVC s/h practices when you order from QVC they don’t give tracking info when you get an update on the package it’s already @ your front door not good business practice at all. I know this because I ordered a few items from them last year tracking was awful. Hope & pray thing will get better but I’m not shopping much on either site not crazy about their lack of CUSTOMER CARE, not standing behind warranties they offer, the tracking or not being able to track our packages & you would think they would let us returns items for FREE when they just don’t work & we need to return it without paying a label fee/shipping fee but I guess this is what business do when they think we can’t shop other places. Their deals are not always great & I have found the same items much cheaper & no s/h. Shop around have a Blessed day.
