Do you ever shop with QVC or HSN?

I have never been a fan of these stations actually. I think the stuff is generally overpriced, and I don't like the idea of making multiple payments on things and it seems like how a lot of their items are structured. I put the QVC app on the Kindle just for fun though.

Nope... I prefer to make one payment for anything I buy. Any time you have to make multiple payments, most of your payment is eaten up by interest...
I never watched QVC even when I had a television that could pick that channel up.

Yes, I think you end up paying twice or 3 times what the item is worth. Not my cup of tea, although some of them you might be able to buy upfront not sure.

@DaddyEvil Yeah, DG has those too, but most of those things are stuff from infomercials not QVC. A TV station here sometimes tests stuff from the infomercials to see how they work..most aren't too impressive.

@snowy22315 Yes, you go to a store like Walmart and look in the "As Seen on TV" section to find those items... and pay once for them.

@DianneN Yeah, she has lots of rings. I don't think she often goes anywhere anymore where she can wear them though.

HSN is quite familiar to me. But we don't have it here. I am not 100% sure if I supportedbcustomers with their HSN purchases years ago.

My mother likes to watch QVC, and I know she has purchased some items on there. I have watched it a little bit here and there but never bought anything.

They will sell everything but the kitchen sink. However, I am not a fan. I might watch the app on Kindle just for fun..and see if lightning will strike.

I do shop on QVC and sometimes the easy pay comes in handy ( like when I bought my Dyson) Generally I don't like multiple payments. I've been a QVC fan for years and don't think I've ever been disappointed with anything I've bought. Haven't shopped on HSN though in ages. I forget it exists

@Marilynda1225 Hmm, that's interesting. My son got a Miel vac, another high end one one time on craigslist and paid less than half the store price, but I don't know how old it was.

Was the Dyson a good price on there?

@snowy22315 It was when I got it but I don't remember how much I paid (a few hundred I think). I got it there because it was comparable to other places I looked and QVC offered easy pay so that worked out better for me.

I have never purchased anything on there...but first time for everything. If I find something wonderful, you never know.

Well, pretty much everybody watches TV. I suppose, especially with the older set there might be more online
