QVC

Pros: Handy, good quality products
Cons: Addictive

Ok... It is midnight. The whole house is asleep. You can't. You are sitting in the living room flipping channels. You pass the QVC channel. You flip back to it. You see something for sale kinda interesting. You flip on. You come back to it. You...

Pros: Like most things in our current society, it fills a niche and satisfies a need.
Cons: All the damn gemstone jewelry I now own that I have not worn once. I guess I could sell it on eBay.

HI, I'm Laura, and I'm a recovering QVC addict.

I am almost ashamed to tell you that for nearly a year I watched this channel, (A LOT), and spent some money (A LOT). For people with too much time on their hands and impulse control problems,...

Pros: relaxing and fun "entertainment"
Cons: The ultimate goal is to make money

I have been watching QVC for about ten years.
The shop at home "sophisticated" and more "refined" answer to the screamers and yellers at HSN, this home shopping network competetor has been set onto the favorite channel of my remote control for some...

Pros: One stop shopping
Cons: addictive

For many years I wondered why anyone in their right mind would sit in front of the TV and watch QVC. I would think to myself, look at all the money people must be spending to keep this show on the air for such a long time.

I am now supporting...

Pros: good prices, mezmorizing show, 24 hours a day broadcast
Cons: WHY CAN'T I TURN IT OFF!!!!

I think you can easily compare some of the mystifying qualities of QVC with the mystifying qualities of The Weather Channel. For some reason, no one really know's why, people spend hours sitting in front of a television watching different merchandise...

Pros: 24 hour, pressure-free shopping
Cons: Getting the bill!

I've been a satisfied QVC member for about 5 years. My first purchase was a Diamonique pendent that I still wear and still looks great. I have purchased things for myself and for gifts. They have a great selection and all the hosts are informative. I...

Pros: Attractive marketing, friendly hosts
Cons: Prices aren't always competitive, shipping is charged, can be quite habit forming

Caution: Before viewing QVC, lock up your credit cards!

Overall, I've been quite satisfied with the quality of the merchandise I've purchased at QVC. Some of my favorite items are the clothing (Denim & Co., Jessica Holbrook), jewelry...

Pros: Great product selection, always cheaper than the stores.
Cons: High shipping rates.

I am an avid shopper at QVC. But, I can not watch their program on the television because I will usually buy something that I really didn't need! So I like to shop at their website, www.qvc.com. I can log on & search for just about anything I'm...

Pros: Large Selection, Quality Merchandise, Reasonable and Low Prices & Great Service
Cons: You get hooked

Everyone seems to have their own preferred way to shop. Some people like driving to their nearest shopping center, fighting crowds during holidays and buying their merchandise in parson. I don't prefer that, especially when the nearest mall is about 45...

Pros: On all the time!
Cons: A real financial danger to many people, on all the time, watch out for shipping costs, etc.

I have been seeing that there are a lot of lonely people watching QVC buying channel, and I see a lot of pathetic situations.

One lady, recently widowed, actually had charged over $100,000. worth of items she didn't want and didn't need. BUT,...

Pros: fun to watch
Cons: too expensive, shipping fees, lots of junk

I have bought 2 items from QVC.....they have both been returned! They do hold up their 30 day money back guarantee at least. The 2 items turned out to be junk;worthless pieces of material that after one use broke, died and fell apart! Now I do realize...

Pros: Marvelous selection and quality
Cons: Not ALWAYS the best price, but a great LOOK

While I have purchased more gemstones from the Home Shopping Network than from QVC, I have found that QVC offers the best deals on 14 kt. gold. In fact, while HSN sells a great deal of both 14 kt. gold AND 10 kt. gold (which is just as nice if it's made...

Pros: great bargains, wide array of merchandise
Cons: that big Q on your box

QVC is excellent except for that one little thing!! What would that be? That would be the giant QVC and sometimes just Q on the side of your box that comes to your home letting all the world and your mailman know that you ordered something off the TV....

Pros: Great style, price value, selections
Cons: be careful of the big honkers -- they look fake even when well done

Celebrity faux jewels started out to be a staple of television retailing at QVC and on The Home Shopping Network.

QVC has the famous Joan Rivers, Nolan Miller (costumer for "Dynasty"), and Kenneth Jay Lane (who has designed jewelry...

Pros: Convenient , nice products, friendly customer service
Cons: Can't see the products in person before you buy

QVC is a "store" on television, where you can buy just about anything you would ever want or need. Their merchandise includes toys for your children, jewelry, electronics (TVs, stereos, DVD players, VCR, etc.), home needs (vacuum cleaners,...
