some of the clothes shows can be expensive. The quality has however always been good. You do have to bear in mind that the presenters are salespeople , probably on commission, and pitch their reviews accordingly.
I did think that it would be quite hard judging quality on the screen and sometimes have found it better with the sound turned down, so that you can just have a good look at the product, without listening to the sales pitch. It is still better than just looking in a catalogue, although clothes obviously drape better on the stick thin models. Once you have ordered a few times, you know which manufacturers are the best buys.
You will find on any crafting shows that these are mainly for making birthday or Christmas cards. That sort of thing. To me these look pretty expensive.
The shows vary from clothes > crafting > bed linen > cameras > TV's > DIY > Gardening > food and to many more
Well known brands such as Molten Brown and Butler and Wilson appear regularly with good prices and there are ones such as Indigo Moon and Quacker Factory, which I have only come across on here not the high street. There really must be something for everyone and, if you prefer, the on-line shopping is just as varied and easy.
As of yet I think that QVC lives up to what it stands for quality, value and convenience.
It may be a bit too convenient though if you are a shopaholic, so be careful.
Note:- They do have sales, as one seasons stock changes, but you have to be quick. Also most of the clothes are more for an older market .
