Buying from QVC help please!

Sorry if this is on wrong thread!

I've seem some orla kiely house things I want on QVC website but currently just advertised as a "normal" price.

I note on there website lots of things have "special" prices- should I hold out and wait for a price drop? Is this how QVC shopping online works?! I've never used there website before so if anyone can offer advice on whether most things usually get a "special" price at some point I would be most grateful.

    They have promotional days for each of their designers, maybe 3 a year, where something will be put on special offer. I used to buy Liz Earle from them and used to get emails telling me when they would be doing a TSV ( today's special value) But most days they were doing a Liz Earle show there would be something on a special price or special pack size or spread the payments

    Check the prices on Amazon to see if what you are thinking of is there. I've found out before that I could buy on Amazon for less, especially if delivery is free.

    They also tend to do special "introductory" prices for the first few months they have stock , after which the price goes up

    a tip i found out if you dont like any item you can return within 30 days and ask for postage refunded due to distance selling regs.The postage seems to be so high with them.

    QVC have outlet shops in Warrington and Shrewsbury which sell customer returns and discontinued stock. On ebay there are sellers obviously live close to these shops and buy stuff and re sell it. Although the stuff is not technically new the things I have bought have all been fine. So might be worth checking ebay.
