Customer reviews
QVC allows their customers to post reviews of products on the QVC site. I have seen that they’ll hide reviews for the Today’s Special Value items but other than that, they don’t filter out the negative reviews. I’m a lot more likey to buy something online if I can read reviews, especially if it’s clear that the reviews aren’t filtered to show only the good ones. The model works well for Amazon and Zappos and it’s great to see QVC encouraging their customers to share their experiences. Letting customers write reviews shows that QVC is confident in their products and that they put the customer’s satisfaction first.
One item, one price
Almost all of the apparel that QVC carries comes in sizes up to 3X or 26/28. But guess what? Every size is the same price. They don’t charge extra for plus sizes. Havng just one price for each item is logical for QVC but it’s totally different from how other retailers price their plus sizes, so it’s worth noting.
Standard sizing
QVC has one size chart and all of their clothes use that same sizing, regardless of designer or label. And if there are any differences, they’ll note that on-air. This means that you can order clothing with the confidence that the item is likely to fit. This doesn’t mean everything will fit 100% of the time but you can call the order number and the customer service rep will have measurements for any item you’re interested in.
And if you don’t like an item once you get it, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, including the original shipping price. Their return policy is here, if you’re curious.
A few more reasons…
Great selection of my favorite beauty lines (Bare Escentuals and philosophy), PM Style on Monday nights with my favorite hostess Lisa Robertson, fun celebrity guests (like Carson from Queer Eye, even if you don’t buy any of his stuff, he’s so entertaining to watch!), Easy Pay…
Note: QVC didn’t pay me to write this and I have no affiliation with them at all, whatsoever. I just have a dorky love for home shopping.



Another reason to love them: the best closed captioning on TV. I don't often watch QVC, but when I am home sick, they are my go to channel. I have one dress from them, and I love it. A lot of people put it down, but I have to say, everything I have from them has been good quality and exactly as promised. Plus, and this is something I really like, they talk about the fact their clothes are fitted to models for each size a LOT which means that rather than fitting something on a size two and just making it bigger, it's also fitted on a size 20. That's great and RARE.

Thanks for pointing me to QVC! I've been looking for a handbag for ages that will hold up and have a long enough handle drop to get over my arm. And I think I've finally found one on their site! I'll have it by the end of the week. I've very excited!
