What Have You Bought From Those Home Shopping Networks?

Caruso Curlers Commercial Ad .... Hawaiian T-shirt QVC .... Proactiv (I returned it after a few days) QVC

A snuggie, A sham-wow, and a razor that supposedly never needed changing. The snuggie was a gift for someone. The sham-wow was actually pretty good and effective in it's designed task. The razor was like shaving with a log, 2 for 3...pretty good!

Oh yeah I am a sucker for QVC and their payment plans. I always get my Dooney & Burke Handbags there, because they usually give 4-6 months to pay it off. I love those bags. I am accumulating quite a collection. I have also bought some electronics there as well. I have never had a problem with them, and they seem to make most things very affordable.

When I was Christmas shopping for my grandkids online, I was looking for a toy called Lite Sprite. After reading several reviews at different retail sites, I stumbled across a review that said you could buy them much cheaper at QVC. I had thought QVC was strictly a televised home shopping network, but they do have a website, and yes, I bought the Lite Sprite there as a much better price.

I bought a couple computers and some sports jersey from HSN. We also have an HSN outlet store where I live and bought a bunch of stuff for the home and some suitcases for super super cheap.

I also bought the magic bullet, but not from HSN or QVC...I got when I was drunk from the infomercial.

I have never purchased anything from the home shopping network, but I used to work with a guy who would bring in a portable television to work so he could shop. Until then, I hadn't met a man so obsessed with shopping. The bosses left him alone because he was a high producer.

I have never bought and never will. If I was going to purchase something from there, I'd go to the As Seen On TV store...

I once bought a popcorn maker from QVC. It was advertised as a silent popcorn maker. I was intrigued so I put in an order. When I recieved it it breakdanced across the kitchen table making an awful racket. I was not impressed.

I usually don't buy stuff from home shopping networks. Usually, the items look too gimmicky and fake to actually convince me to buy them directly. If I see something on T.V., i'll usually try to check it out in an As Seen on T.V. store or any other store that carries those kinds of items.

I have bought all kinds of things from the home shopping networks. I love to buy shoes, dishes, pots & pans and so much more. I love to shop online or watching the great shopping network off my TV.

I've never done it before, I prefer buying from online retailers. I just don't want to have to deal with their customer service.

Most recent QVC purchase was a $400 Dyson vacuum cleaner. It was great but I had to return due to a cheap plastic part that broke easily. QVC was very efficient in their return process and cost me nothing. I'm not usually a fan of shopping QVC because I can often find much better deals online but I have to give their customer service a high grade.

I'm sorry for your experience, but this is funny! I hope you were able to return it for a refund.

I'm big into getting refunds when I'm wronged but on that occasion I was too swamped with things in my life to seek redress. Hey, maybe 15 years later I'll put in for that refund. I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear from me!

Never have, but as a kid, I used to watch QVC all the time. Like seriously, it was the main thing I had on my TV when I was in elementary school!! I especially loved the toy specials they did around Christmas and was constantly running to my mom with the phone number, hoping she'd eventually cave! (she never did)

I can't think of anything I've ever actually bought from the shopping networks on TV.

I -have- bought some that were previously in infomercials and then made it to stores. There's a set of peelers for the kitchen that I absolutely love. I originally saw them on TV, but never bought them until I was in the store and saw them. My dad bought one of those hot air cookers at one point and loves it.

The only thing that we have bought was an ab lounge. We saw it on TV and thought it would be perfect for both of us to help flatten our abs. I used it probably a half dozen times but fortunately my husband uses it every other day. He has gotten our money worth out of it. We have had it for about 4 years now. We really don't watch any of the home shopping networks to get sucked into buying anything.

Did it actually work? Those things look ridiculous... Just go to the gym!

I am not a big fan of "As seen on TV" stuff as I don't like the outrageous claims they make in their ads. I have read several horror stories of the networks on the web and a lot of people have been scammed by such companies. I prefer to stay away from them, I am not giving them my hard earned money.

I haven't but I know my mom has plenty of times.

In fact, she's addicted to it. My father had to hide the debit and credit cards because of her buying binges.
