There was an article last week questioning hsn and qvc’s ability to survive. I used to shop hsn for fashion and qvc for other stuff. Now both have become frumpy.
Posted in Forum: JewelryYippeee! Looks like we are finally getting some more MARGO MANHATTAN jewelry. No shows yet listed in the guide, though I will keep checking. Her jewelry is so edgy, modern and mixable! Thank you, HSN! https://www.hsn.com/products/margo-manhattan-sterling-silver-liquid-heart-bracelet/9434028
well i did like the Goat Ball oopsy instead of the host saying the Wool Dryer balls… i laughed and laughed and laughed. last time the goat whizzed the presentation table. that was hilarious too.
you cannot take life too seriously.
anyway, i make a lot of my own home recipes to stay away from the toxins of the world, but i am curious about the jewelry cleaner and wood milk.
expensive? sometimes, but like the Beekman boys said, HSN requires the science labs, studies, and backing to what they say their products do. so that expense ends up as part of the products. it’s unfortunate, but if you don’t have the lab work done and someone sues… it would be quite the mess.
have a great and wonderful day!
i have seen prices on regular items and clearance items go up. why? i have a budget. i have select items i purchase for gifts and projects. when there is no combined or free shipping, that also hurts when a necklace is now $5.50 to ship and a electric screwdriver to lights are now $7.50 to ship. the shipping pretty much defeats any sales price. once you add tax into the mix, an item is now $7-10 more on your first flexpay. since the merger, HSN is getting out of my league.
HSN has raised clearance prices before. I remember the feeling of disgust at the time. The price increase is about 3%. And yes, they’ve done it again.
No other site, where I shop, does this.HSN’s answer to competition seems to be, lowering quality and service, while raising prices.
I guess they’re hoping we’re to dumb to notice.
The standard price of items, also seems to escalate at the same rate each year. Check your order status to compare your routine product prices year to year.
Many on line sites offer Free Shipping every day, after a specific sum IE: 49.00.
At HSN, Free Shipping is treated as a “Big Event”…..
One tires of the “slight of hand” tricks.
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesThese guys must own a large part of HSN; they are on 1000 times too much ; so boring and over-hyped, and expensive
I bought two Patricia Nash bags when she debuted on HSN. One bag arrived with the part of the front embellishment (metal) rattling around the box. The strap on the other bag broke within the 30 days return period. What upset me was the fact that I wanted to keep both bags since they were sold out and send them to Patricia’s warehouse for repairs because we were told there is a warranty. Left numerous messages, no response. Finally, 3 weeks later they responded on social media. Unacceptable customer service and I sent the bags back to HSN for a full refund. I believe the quality is compromised for a TS and not the same as what is sold in department stores. Regardless, the lack of a timely response has soured me on the brand. I own many Dooneys and the quality is excellent. I love them and they last forever. My favorite are still my Coach bags but I do buy D&B if it catches my eye.
Posted in Forum: Health & WellnessNo Today’s Special in months; no new items for spring when everyone else is starting to show them; they’re only showing clearance items. To me, this looks like Slinky will be gone soon. I for one will be very upset
I agree.
And I’m really disheartened by HSN supporting all the hype about products from countries that “claim” they don’t do animal testing, stating that their government has ruled against it, when in reality they – do – test on animals and are soul-sickeningly cruel. I know this because I know people who fly into those countries, rescue animals, and fly them back to the USA for loving care and adoption, like the wonderful ranch for those rescued animals here in Malibu CA where they are brought back to health and given loving homes. It’s amazing to see how quickly they respond to love, even after all the pain and torture they’ve been through, they give unconditional love right back.
HSN discontinued Serious Skin Care and other really good vendors and are pushing products from S. Korea!
I agree with you 100% . HSN and QVC just aren’t worth my time or money anymore. I found the apparel becoming more and more flimsy and unflattering. Also more and more expensive. Susan Graver–QVC’s #1 “designer”, has been producing the same items over and over again in different colors, slightly different style but still all the same. Logo? Please. And where is my Linea by Louis del’Olio? He han’t been around in way too long. My personal favorite as well is Dennis Basso. I can always count on them to come through. I’d like to know what’s going on at these companies. I don’t even watch anymore because of the new hosts. Love the “oldies” but goodies but the new people: I just turn it off. It makes me rather sad.
jmc, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Increased prices are paying for all the new flex pays. I don’t use flex pay so the new selling ploy is hurting me and others like me. The reasons I loved shopping at HSN are dwindling.
This is just one of many reasons why I am shopping elsewhere like the Liquidation Channel. They had a gorgeous sale that started shortly after Christmas. Prices were great and less, I mean a lot less than HSN. They now have stones I’ve never heard of. Every weekend and sometimes during the week they have a percentage off some of their items. It’s not 20% off up to $20 less, but the percentage off the entire day on the items you purchase. So, if it’s 30% off it’s 30% off the entire purchase. And most times that percentage also includes clearance items. Yesterday they had $1 sale on certain things. Also they have a $2.99 shipping charge and sometimes free shipping. Go check them out. They also supply HSN with some of their rough.
I know what you mean, not the HSN I once knew!
Just about done shopping here.
Remember the good old days…
Full skin care kits, now one product wonders!! hahaha!
Partys over, taking my money elsewhere
They can keep their flex pay
With the inflated prices your extra flex serves as interest on your credit card.
Meaning the extra flex is taking care of interest payments for good standing customers.
Hope this makes sense???

I spoke with a manager of Hsn and she ( susan) stated I am correct about activating next year and having a year of free service. I am going to use the wifi has you suggested, another customer is doing the same thing. Thank you very much for your assistance.
