I also have watched both HSN and QVC for twenty five years or more. I have seen host come and go. I have followed their family with tears of joy and grief as some married and some loss love ones. I don’t have a problem with new host even though the old ones related to us like family. The problem I have is the merchandise they are selling now and the limited designers that are shown over and over again. Some designers are given an insane amount of air time it’s like a tv show that is showing reruns but the same episode is playing everyday several times a day. It’s the end of an era. That time we had is over. The clothes designers are all making clothes for the women with the same height and weight. There are old men dressing women to look old, nothing for my daughter or granddaughter’s age. The purses are pretty much the same with designers copying other designers style. Yeah it’s almost over.
Set colors are awful on HSN. It looks like a Barbie set or continuing Breast Cancer Awareness IMO. Enough with the Pink! This is disrespectful by QVC Group. Who is watching the ship?
They even have those three ugly knitted pink stockings with red stripes hanging at the mantle.
It’s so awful how the set is decorated. They still hang that pink wreath, sometimes they stick pink ornaments in it then sometimes they just have a limp green bow on it.
Sorry, but I don’t even enjoy watching the presentations on HSN, I’m too busy looking at the set decorations. I flip channel to QVC and have a warmer feeling with their set.
Posted in Forum: Customer ServiceWhere are the reviews posted for the items being purchased? I never see one at all on HSN. You can write a review but nothing shows for posted reviews by others and I know there would be some. I won’t purchase anything from HSN any longer without seeing reviews first like I do on QVC.
I don’t see $7.50 shipping, nor do I see free shipping anywhere. Are y’all talking about QVC?
Much of the food on QVC is also sold on HSN. It just goes by a different name. You can also go to the website of the product and see if they have comparable prices to HSN.
I went to K Girl Kitchen (their Pumpkin Choc Chip Loaf is addictive!). They offer a little more variety but their shipping was $35 USPS Priority!!!! I was shocked and will continue my autoship until they discontinue it.
Since original post, I had time to research Nancy Brinker, the 2013 salary debacle in which Brinker’s salary was made public causing severe decrease in donations, decisions made since then, and Komen’s expansion into November for fund raising.
It appears that Komen is struggling to obtain the massive funding pre-2013. That could be due to a number of issues.
Brinker’s recent interests moved to trans community as many of them complained about both Komen not recognizing that anyone can have breast cancer, not just women, and the bright pink campaign color.
HSN’s gaudy pink set design is not based on Victorian period Christmas trees and decorations imo. My neighbor researched Victorian era Christmas designs & decorations then replicated it in her own home 3 years ago. Her design was period correct to every detail and beautiful. Victorian era Christmas was muted palettes that didn’t eliminate green, red, and blue.
The other possibility is that the Barbie brigade or a designer’s influence is strong at HSN manager & newer hosts.
I do recall HSN’s set design changed to acknowledge black and hispanic history months but do not ever recall HSN devoting set design to celebrate men’s health awareness month with set design of all blues etc. This makes HSN seem prejudicial in regards to recognizing causes and people.
We will never know why HSN execs & set design changed to this in your face intrusion in your television viewing experience.
All I know is that is different from HSN post Qurate purchase and VASTLY different from pre-Qurate purchase.
It is so in your face that it takes your attention away from product demonstration.
After years of happy, fulfilling HSN television shopping, the past 3 weeks I’ve longingly watched QVC’s television programming.
But since it appears that since HSN is more interested in being a pantone, Barbie, and whatever else sycophant rather than focus on the preferences of the majority of their customers I’m done with HSN.
If some execs plan was to disregard all the shoppers that kept HSN profitable for decades and send them elsewhere, they are succeeding.
If they wanted QVC to have the more traditional green/red holiday decor, they could have had HSN have something different, but tasteful. Think silver and gold, midnight blue, burgundy, crystals. Modern but glam (like Elton John showed from his home selling Slatkin candles) Law library chic, if that’s a thing?! 😉 Instead, it’s fuschia and pink with aqua curtains and cheap ivory laminate counters like it’s a tacky ’80’s fern bar. Makes me cringe.
I am not a fan of the food they sell on HSN anyway they have horrible food shows the quality is not there. QVC has much better-quality food but I don’t purchase from them either but if I were going to purchase any food from any home network it would only be QVC.
Posted in Forum: BeautyOn Oct 31, I ordered Signature Club A 2 piece Vt C Moisturizing set. The cream had an expiration date of 1-26. Called customer service on Nov 9 and reordered an exchange I sent the expired one back as requested. Yesterday, I received the exchanged one and it had the same expiration date 1-26, Called customer service today and got QVC customer service who told me they were taking HSN service calls cause they were having problems with their customer service. She said she couldn’t help me cause she didn’t have access to that information. Wonder if Adrian knows they are selling expired products??
QVC has beautiful sets. I love seeing the Christmas trees this year.

As @castlenv mentioned, the price guarantee applies to orders placed within 30 days for HSN and QVC.
The extended Holiday return policy applies to orders placed now until December 24, 2025 which can be returned for any reason for a refund of the purchase price, minus the S&H and Q Return Label fee until 1/31/26, or exchanged for a free replacement of the same item in a different color or size. Restrictions may apply.
I am unaware of a “90 day” price guarantee on either channel. QVC will honor a change in price for 30 days with some restrictions. I believe that is the same on HSN.
You can return items until January 31, 2026 but I’m unsure when that policy started, i.e., September or October??
Posted in Forum: Talk Among YourselvesDoes QVC have the 90 day price guarentee like HSN?
I regularly order Serious Skin Care products from QVC. HSN doesn’t sell anything that good!
Since the move I am now ordering from QVC more often and HSN less and less. I also love Laura Geller make up. It is the best make up for mature skin I have ever used.
