Have you ever bought anything from qvc?

[Deleted]

Or another tv home shopping channel? I haven't and I think I've watched a grand total of 45 minutes of such channels ever. Not because I'm too good to buy junk (I just spent $200 at target and got the comfiest tide me over until i lose more pp weight jeans, denizen by levis stretch). But because it doesn't interest me. But these are multi billion dollar companies so someone is. It can't all be grannies buying porcelain figurines.

I bought myself and my mother-in-law some microfiber cleaning cloths off of QVC. We both really like them!

[malibu]

A CW of mine buys hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars of stuff from QVC every year. She returns a lot of it, but she buys so much random crap I can't believe it. We've joked about having an intervention for her.

As an aside - I adore the Denizen from Target. I have like eight pairs.

My MIL is a QVC addict. We tease her about it all the time. She does find some good stuff, but 50% of it is junk that gets pitched.

[polka]

No, I haven't. But I receive a bunch of good stuff from my aunt who is addicted to QVC. She gets her beauty supplies through the automated shipping option, so she sends my mom and me a lot of products, especially Tarte and Philosophy.

[fuckyourcouch]

My mom buys a lot from them because they often have expensive sephora brands for cheap, like clarisonic, tarte, etc.

Hey! Don't be hating the company that employs half thetown I live in. I work next to it and go over to their store sometimes at lunch. They have my face wash for cheap and sometimes nice stuff for gifts.

(I use Philosophy products...

And they have Bare Minerals and Smashbox)

I bought Wen one day when I forgot I couldn't afford Wen.

My friend's mom is a legit QVC addict. It's out of control.

My MIL buys a lot of philosophy/clarisonic/WEN type stuff pretty cheap.

I'm not! It just never occurred to me to tune in. I like the idea of cheap make-up!

[bex1973]

We bought sheets - Northern Lights I think? They were ok.

My H loves QVC - he'd buy a lot if I didn't discourage it.

But I do want the Temptations bake ware - I know a lot of people who have it & are really happy with it!

[alzi]

My mom does. I ordered something but the website once, they do have a great return policy.

[purrbox]

I just bought this.

It's a cell phone holder that's shaped like a purse. I saw it on the show Shark Tank.

[thebreakfastclub]

I bought my Kitchen Aid mixer because they had 20+ colors and it was nice that it came right to my door. That thing weighs a ton. I like to check out the beauty shows, but I have never purchased.

I do notice them selling iPads a lot, and I think they do a nice job of walking people though what they need in a low-pressure way. The Apple guy specifically told people they didn't need the biggest memory one unless they wanted to watch movies, which I thought was way better than him over hyping the most expensive one.

I think they are trying to get more fashion forward. Some of the hosts are in mom jeans, and some are 1000% more trendy.

I also once toured the studio and it was pretty amazing how it all comes together.

[iamali]

I used to watch QVC at 2 am when DS2 was a newborn and I was bf'ing. It was usually that or horror movies and since I don't watch those....

Anyway, you can actually get a lot of great stuff on QVC. It's not all junk (although there is a lot). Most recently I was gifted one of their TSV's (today's special value's) that had a ridiculous amount of Tarte makeup.

[iamali]

Oh, and didn't we have a nestie that worked for QVC? I can't remember her name, but she'd do an AMA sometimes and I loved hearing about all the behind the scenes stuff.

[bcv513]

I buy a ton from QVC. They have good brands: Kitchen Aid, Bare Minerals, Philosophy, Apple, Nook, etc.

Their sheets (Northern Nights) are incredible, and I get lots of work clothes there.

[celeste]

I bought a microfiber mop once. And maybe some Philosophy stuff?

I watched a shit ton of QVC when I was transcribing hours and hours of interviews for my master's thesis. I would put it on in the background for company. Everything starts to look pretty good after a while, lol!

[ElizabethBennet]

I've bought a computer, a keurig, and a dyson off of QVC.

[Deleted]

All of the women on my mom's side of the family love QVC. They have those little shopping guide things and will be like, "Well, gotta get going, Quacker Factory is on at 6."

But I've gotten some good stuff as gifts, so I can't complain.

[Jermys]

I have! I got a killer pair of boots from QVC that I wear all the time!

OH My GOD!  Your sig picture is killing me, I am going to hell but that is hysterical. 

[DotAndBuzz]

We got my parents a VHS to DVD converter thing that was on there. They specifically asked for one for Christmas one year, and that one had good reviews (according to H), so we bought it from their website. Seems to work great.

My MIL bought me a steamer set there one year, and I LOVE it. It came with a regular size, and a travel size one, and I use that thing all.the.time.

Also, you should add to your QVC total-watch-time and spend a few minutes watching these (more listed on the right). You won't regret it.  spoiler - its Mike Rowe in his early days, on QVC.

Glad I'm not the only one with an addicted MIL.

All day, she has QVC on TV, the site open on her personal laptop, while she works in her home office.

[puppyluv]

I bought a set of silicone pot/pan covers after seeing them on QVC. They stop pots from boiling over while still keeping them covered. I had a hard time with my rice cooker always boiling over so the product worked perfect for that problem.

[Bernadine]

FMIL is obsessed with their flameless candles. I have a feeling I may be getting one for Christmas, lol.

[Deleted]

My mom and grandma looooove QVC

I have to admit, I like QVC.

I have bought a few things..philosophy stuff for gifts, makeup, a floor steamer thing. I have no complaints with anything I've purchased.

I do think they offer some good deals around the holidays for gifts, but their everyday stuff seems a tad overpriced. And their shipping charges are high considering most places nowadays offer free shipping.

[SKP82]

I bought Wen and some Orthoheel sandals from QVC. Not because I was watching it, but because that's where I found those things online.

My step mom shops a ton with QVC.
