I have purchased many thing from both QVC and HSN. They are usaully very prompt and the operators are always very polite and helpful. The quality isn't any better or any worse than elsewhere. I can usually find better prices locally but I do like QVC's clothing line called Denim and Co. I usually end up buying stuff around the holidays, especially those gourmet treats! A lot of times, they have variety packs of things so it gives you an opportunity to try
different things. I discovered Junior's cheesecakes, Kansas City Steaks, Chseapeake Bay crabcakes and Heurmann's popcorn. I still buy KC Steaks and the popcorn, but directly from each company's websites.
These channels can be highly addictive!!
