As we gallop headlong into end of the year celebrations, and perhaps making a list of new year's resolutions... I thought we should once again revisit shopping resolutions on QVC.
Here are mine as a start-off:
1) Always check on Shopping Telly forum first to see if there is anything good coming up to plan viewing.
2) Always check the QVC TV guide to see who will be presenting to avoid nasty shocks.
3) Always comparison shop for the best price (including any P&P.
4) Never go on waitlist (risk of getting a slow return).
5) Never go on advanced orders (risk of getting a quick return).
6) Use auto-delivery with caution, and mark on the calendar when the next drop is due to avoid surprises.
7) Avoid easy pays where possible.
8) Always send back any "meh" or "yuk!" items.
9) If sticking QVC on without checking 1) and 2) make sure the TV is on mute...
10) Don't buy beauty items (it will be years before my stash is reduced to just what I actually need).
In 2017 my shopping on QVC has been significantly lower than in previous years, but I've had good use and pleasure for the items I have bought. I think I've enjoyed the purchases more, and appreciated them where I might not have in years when I really wasn't keeping track of my spending. Not only has being more conscious of what I've been considering buying on QVC reduced my spending with them, I think it has reduced my spending overall.
