QVC is a business

WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- Some of the complaints about QVC may be valid but others really shock me. QVC is a business like any other. If you don't pay the electric, it gets shut off..etc etc. They don't black list people without good reason. There seem to be a lot of compulsive buyers who when the big credit card bill comes in and they lose the race to the mailbox to their husband, or find they bought too much that month and can't afford the bill....then try to return way too much and are put out when QVC halts their "buying privileges" I surely don't blame QVC for closing accounts if over 50% of someones purchases keep being returned for various excuses as they have to pay for the restocking or throwing the items out that can't be resold. People keep out of trouble by being a savy responsible shopper. Dont buy more than you can pay for. I can tell many are not telling the WHOLE STORY here. If you know you are going to lose your job or plan on going bankrupt, don't continue to buy on credit and don't expect special consideration. I have not one bad experience in buying or returning items from QVC but I don't buy more than I can pay off in 2 months either. Yeah I got a lot of wants...but I don't let that get in my way of being a responsible shopper. I don't buy big ticket items such as chairs and computers at QVC. You drive a car b4 you buy it don't you? Just because you get a 10,000 credit limit doesn't mean you need to spend that amount. Is the consumers responsibility to keep out of trouble...not the company. If you can't control TV shopping urges then turn the channel. And for the one commentor who went Chapter 13 bankrupt and thinks she is so "entitled" to keep charging items on QVC and has admitted publically she is scamming the company by fake names?? You disgust me and people like you are the reason this country has such economic woes. You ruin everything for the responsible folks. You have bad credit for 10 years and can't blame everyone else for your irresponsibility so suck it up and put on your big girl pants. You probably are on public assistance of every kind too and feel entitled to charge up luxury big ticket items and is why you ended up bankrupt. I hope they have charged you with fraud. As for those who didn't fit into the shopoholics and scammers categories....my comments are not directed to you.

I really wouldn't have any problem with it EXCEPT for the way they tell you repeatedly you can return it when they are selling it. It's a given that you can make returns, people usually mention it only when you can't so for them to hawk their return policy then penalize you for using it is wrong in my opinion.

I only watched QVC once and it reminded me of carnival barkers. Ummm, no thanks!

Comparing a retail business to a utility is not a valid comparison. In most instances you have no "options" with utilities to choose another company. You have those options in retail. My experience with QVC is that they offer overpriced, often liquidation merchandise to less than saavy consumers. It is the consumers responsibility to be informed, so this is not QVC's fault.

I've never shopped at QVC or HSN or anything. I do turn in for a good laugh whenever they are doing a presentation on absurdly overpriced computers. It's always awe-inspiring to see some presenter who obviously has no clue what he/she is talking about prattle on and on about the virtues of a dual core CPU (in 2012 mind you) and how 4 GB and a 500GB HDD are the bee's knees, and how it can all yours (cheap TN panel monitor included!) for the low, low, price of $1200.
A couple months ago a QVC presenter seemed particularly impressed with a 13.3 inch MacBook Pro they were selling for the "incredible" price of $1799. Same computer sold on Apple's website for $1100 at the time. What a deal.
