Please be aware! If you purchase any product from EVINE on value pay once only, they will continuously do hard credit check on your credit. I was not aware and every so often I will see EVINE checking my credit and it is not a soft credit check. The hard credit check goes against your credit score. When I called EVINE and asked them to stop checking my credit the woman said no. My value pay product was a long time ago. So shoppers shop somewhere else. Beware of EVINE.

I purchased a Madi Claire Purse (Ariana Croco Embossed Leather) from EVINE. It was advertised as a leather purse. The bottom of the purse came apart about 6 inches (not at a seam). I purchased in October 2015. I took the purse to a shoe repair / purse repair / luggage repair shop. The man that helped me told me the only leather on the purse was the small tag on a chain located on the handle of the purse. He told me it was made with man-made materials and other than the small tag it was not leather. The purchase price was over $70.00 but they had this on sale for about $50.00. This is false advertising. The sales staff that was showing the purse kept mentioning the excellent quality.

This was the worst experience I've ever had with an online purchase! I will NEVER EVER order anything from here again! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE along with a HORRIBLE RETURN POLICY considering the holiday time! The employees along with the supervisor are very rude and are not willing to work with their customers!! I do not recommend this place to anyone!!

I made my first purchase from Evine just two days ago. I ordered a cookware set that looked fabulous. After reading all the horrible reviews online regarding this cookware, I decided to cancel my order. The order wasn't even 48 hours old but I was told I couldn't cancel any longer. The order hadn't shipped out yet, but they refused to cancel it. So I have to accept the delivery, then turn around and ship it back to them, all so they can keep my $18.99 shipping and handling charge. Buyer beware, I will never order from Evine again.

This is a big scam. Recently order the action pro camera, and receive the camera after a week and I open the box. They give the right camera I order but when I use it, the camera, there is a wifi password already. It means the camera is not a brand new. I call them and they give me a free return label, so I return, I mailed the camera with its accessories in the box. After 4 days they call me and they said there's no camera, return only the accessories. I'm disappointed and I said I put everything in box, they want to recharge me. How come I need to pay again without the camera? Stupid. They call 3 times a day. What a way to be rip off.

I saw on TV on 11/1/15 a set of iLive bluetooth wireless headphones. I loved the price, the item looked great. After watching the demonstration after about an hour, I decided to buy. The order came in a timely fashion. The packaging was great and my son LOVED the product. I bought these as a Christmas gift to my son. He is 16. He opened them on Christmas day. Now the item I purchased, has NO warranty (which I believe they said it DID, they meaning EVINE) and since it's after 1/31, they can't exchange nor refund. I just asked them if I can get a replacement since the product just broke. They still said no. I said can an exception be made since it's just a few days over the 1/31 period. I haven't gotten an answer back yet.
This was my first purchase from this company and will be my last. Companies like these, with strict policies about exchanges or refunds...show me they just want to keep your money. If I purchased this product from Walmart (like I was starting to, which I should have) or Macy's, I would have been getting a replacement and waiting for it to come. I went through an issue like this with Macy's...wore the product and it was a defect, they replaced it right away. So, why can't this site extend the courtesy??? I will spread the word about this company. My mother especially. She keeps looking at their products to buy, but after hearing this, my mother will not buy either. Since customer service doesn't want to work with its customers (reading these reviews, seems to be true), I'm thinking of disputing the charges but I don't know if I can go back that far. I am very disappointed.
UPDATED ON 02/17/2016: Well, EVINE did make it somewhat right. After posting my initial review, I went to their FB page. They were bragging about their birthday, etc. I stated to them my situation and how there might not be many more after reading some of these complaints here (meaning this site). So, someone who monitors their FB page emailed me within like 90 minutes, offering me a $25 credit to choose what I wanted. So, I purchased more headphones. The funny thing is... I did get a response from their email department... and they repeated the policy stating "No, can't get a replacement..." etc. If I had NEVER went on their FB page, I wouldn't have gotten any satisfaction to this. I am surprised that they corrected it so quickly... somewhere in that silly company. To anyone, think twice please about buying from here.

I've had the most dissatisfying experience with this year holiday purchase that I will never purchase another watch again from Evine. I am an avid watch collector and have been buying watches for 8-9 years easily with them. I ordered a watch on 1/1/16 and received the wrong item on 1/13. When I called customer service and explained they had sent me the wrong item. They told me I had to wait until they received the wrong watch back before they would ship the correct watch. I explained that it was their fault for sending the incorrect item and why should I have to be inconvenience for their shortcoming. They told me if I wanted my watch shipped immediately I would have to pay for it again. Which means they would have my money tied up for well over a week while they waited for the snail mail return label they sent me.
I explained that other retailers in their situation would bill me if I didn't return the item within a timely manner and why would I not be extended the same courtesy. The representative stated that was the only option available. I asked to speak to a supervisor expecting better cooperation considering they were at fault. The supervisor told me the exact same thing. I asked "how can you treat your loyal customer in such a manner" when they were totally at fault. After being on the phone roughly 1.5 hours going back and forth I requested to speak with her supervisor. She explained that she would transfer me to the executive team voicemail and it would take 24-48 hours before someone would get back with me.
I was livid. I told her that was not acceptable that I had a concern that needed to be addressed immediately and it should not take that long for me to speak with a manager. She explained that was my only option and transferred me to a random voicemail. I called back multiple times and received the same subpar unacceptable customer services. I was bounced around and left same message with no avail because I still haven't heard from a single manager as of yet. Each call I spent at least an hour being bounce around and then hung up on. It has been three weeks since I sent the wrong item back and a month since the initial order and I haven't received a refund or my watch as of yet. Absolutely horrible service. I will NEVER spend another dime. Spread the word about this despicable company.

I forgot to make payment. My Capital One credit card and Shop Evine can't collect the value pay due to date 2 days later, They called and blackmail me. How nice. I has been their loyal customer in the past 10 year.

Do not ever shop here! Check out all of the complaints online. This company will not stay in business. They scam people. Their return policy for the holiday is to return by Jan. 30, 2016 and they told me if I wanted to return something I purchased during the holiday season I would have to overnight it in order for it to be credited. Any shopping channel on earth just tells you that you have to have it post marked by the return day. Please take my advice and order from QVC or HSN. They are reputable. Please also go online and read all of the terrible complaints. They run hard credit checks on people for using value pay and they never accept returns. It's all a lie and a BIG scam. Thank you!!!

I have been reading through these reviews, because for weeks now I have felt uneasy about the way they handle their ValuePay credit card payments. I'm referring to the Evine credit card that you can apply for. After being approved you're given a spending limit. But apparently you're not permitted to spend up to the limit. I did not know this then. Because your ValuePay payments are deducted from that credit card and if you have used up your limit, they then cannot charge those payments to it.
My question is, what credit card company gives you a spending amount to use for purchasing items, but expects and is set up to have ValuePay purchases deducted from that credit limit amount. But if you have used up your amount, they can't charge your value pay payments from your own spending limit. It's like they give you a spending limit, but you can't spend it. They want you to keep the most of it in there for your all the Value Pay payments to be taken out of. Which would have been fine if, they would have made that plain and clear to the consumer. I was under the assumption that you can use your spending limit and make one consolidated payment to the company, like any other credit card. It's not like that with this one. They are difficult to reason with.

Purchased 3 products by finishing touch, they were the "Yes" product approx. $50.00 each after shipping etc charges. They were 3 different gifts. My oldest daughter doesn't live close so our Christmas with her family was a week later. Yesterday she was in town and brought hers back. It didn't work. Today I called Evine and asked for a shipping label to send it back. I talked to customer service, floor manager and then another manager. All three said it was too late, they could send me the label, however l was told it wouldn't get back to the warehouse by the 31st so they would just send it right back and it would be a waste of time.
I am a very good customer and have been for 20+years. I loved Shop NBC. Evine is NOT Shop NBC. I am paying off my Value pays next month and then closing my account. Over $50.00 they lost a big spender!!! This was not my first problem with them, they never resolved any problems. This will be my last problem! NO MORE Shopping with Evine! BUYER BEWARE! I've had my Yes product for Over two years. Mine works great. The product was not the problem. Evine was the problem, customer service is not for consumers, it's for Evine.

In July 2015, I experienced an EVINE ValuePay system billing "glitch". I pointed it out to them that the monthly ValuePays did not bill to my EVINE Credit Card? They said they would look into it and get back to me. Next month came and went with no resolution so I contacted them again in writing (documentation reasons). Again they said they would look into it. I wrote again, and again, and again (always keeping a paper trail of my communication and their communication back to me). Now they put me on Collection for $16?
I contact them again, attach proof that I have already paid all the unbilled ValuePays, and paid directly to my EVINE Credit Card. All the billing dept had to do was bill my card for the ValuePays. Seems pretty simple right? They still have not done that. I threaten with "legal action" and contacting EVINE CEO, Mark Bozek. They stop harassing me and pull me from Collection. I contacted Collection Agency for verification, and they confirmed I am no longer on collection. I check my EVINE Live Credit Card, and the ValuePays are still not billed? I contacted the Synchrony Bank, and I am in excellent standing with my credit, and the issue remains with the EVINE Credit Dept getting their ValuePay billing fixed. Now mind you, I have "prepaid" everything in anticipation of billing being corrected. I have prepaid $400 for 3 months ValuePays, and paid the ValuePays yet again... So now I have DOUBLE-PAID what I owe.
And yes come January 2016, EVINE has now put me on Collection again - not for $16 this time - but for $419.72 for all their unbilled ValuePays since they had a system glitch (aka billing problem) in July 2015. Are you serious? Time for some California Consumer Protection authorities to get involved and protect MY rights.

I first found Evine when it was ShopHQ. I was lured by the value pays and have spent too much money. Now many of those items are proving to be poor quality after just several months. I have contacted them with questions about my account. They send me to Synchrony Bank. I called them and they tried to send me back to customer service. Evine did an unauthorized credit check which caused my credit rate to go down. I am completely done with Evine Live. Poor quality! Poor customer service!

I recently bought a new refurbished iMac computer from them that I was told was from the 2012 but when I got it in the mail it was from 2003 and poorly packaged and all beat up. I called to complain about this and was told that they don't do business like this and they would gladly refund my money and ship me another one. I refused the other refurbished computer and just decided to purchase a new one through them using the value pay. This computer is advertised as a new iMac computer with factory 1 year warranty. When the computer arrived I open it and plugged it in to start the setup.
While setting it up I go on Apple to register my new computer only to find out that it's an out of date computer and can't be registered, not only was it out of date but it was suppose to have been sold by Best Buy. The Apple rep told me that I could purchase a extend coverage program for additional money. The Apple rep also asked me what the cost was, I told him that it was 1499.99, he told me that I can buy the same computer from them with warranty for 1000.00. This rep also informed me that EVINE is not an authorized retailer of Apple products and that they were going to look into this as well.
After the call with Apple I called EVINE and tried to talk with a supervisor but was unsuccessful but the rep I spoke with named Angela was very shocked and surprised to these illegal actions that were taking place as she was a retired Law professor. THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING AND THEY NEED TO FACE THE LAW FOR DECEIVING CONSUMERS LIKE ME AND YOU!!! So my experience with these people so far is terrible and I would definitely check with other stores before making a purchase from them. I don't like to be screwed and I'm sure that you don't either so take caution when making purchases from this retailer as you might get scammed!!!

I used my personal credit card to make a purchase using "ValuePay". Be aware that Evine will run your credit report because this "ValuePay" program is considered a line of credit even though you are using your own credit card and not theirs. They will not tell you this "up front" unless you ask and of course running your credit report for approval will affect your credit score so BEWARE!

I ordered some items in November of 2014 with a prepaid debit card. I received a call yesterday 1/7/16 from a collection agency stating that EVINE had turned me over to collections, because I didn't pay for an item that they shipped me. Now I was never ever contacted by anybody at EVINE telling me that this item had not been paid for. I asked the lady in the credit department why they even sent this item when it wasn't paid for, and why I had never been contacted by phone or letter. She told me that I should've seen it on my credit card statement that it hadn't been paid for. REALLY!!! I'm supposed to know you hadn't charged me. So I called the prepaid debit card gift card company and they told me that they can only go back a year. So I am stuck because I have no proof. Convenient. DON'T EVER ORDER THROUGH THEM.

I have been ordering Skinn Cosmetics for several years--first from ShopHQ which then changed over to Evine Live. When ordering from ShopHQ, I was consistently pleased with the service and had no problems whatsoever. Products arrived quickly and orders were complete and accurate. That however has changed since Evine Live has taken over. My first problem occurred last year when my order never arrived. After countless calls to Evine with no promised return calls, I discovered the order had been sent to an inaccurate address and had been returned to Evine. They refused to resend the order to me and eventually did refund the cost.
Just last week I received over $500 worth of Skinn Cosmetics. One of the orders was missing a cream. Upon notifying customer service of this, I was again told a customer service supervisor would phone me back within 24 hours. Of course, that never happened even after two attempts by me to speak to a supervisor. All I wanted was the missing cream to be sent to me. They refused to send me the cream and consoled me by saying they would give me a $20 credit toward my next order. I spoke with a supervisor named Billy who actually hung up on me as I was explaining that I would no longer order from Evine. Please avoid this company. There is NO customer service, and they obviously do not care about the customer. I will NEVER order again from this place. I can get the same products through eBay and/or Amazon.

Very disappointed! Evine offers Value pays without disclosing that they run your credit. They should disclose this at checkout before charging the customer's credit card, then canceling the order and having the customer wait about a week or so for a refund. I was notified via email about the cancellation. Tried contacting customer service and all they can do is read from their script the ridiculous credit guidelines they have. I wasn't trying to apply for a credit card with Evine, so I don't think it's right that they ran my credit without my knowledge or consent. This is such an inconvenience and I am very disappointed at the fact that Evine offers Value pays based on credit history.
I've made many purchases in the past from shopnbc.com and never had any issues with their value pays. I've been a loyal customer for many years with an excellent purchase/payment history. I was a happier customer when this company used to offer value payments without stressing about credit criteria, etc. Shopnbc.com was a much better company before Evine took over. Now, you lost a loyal customer!

I call the Customer Service department (total joke) and was told that they "don't know why this happened" but that they would "refund my shipping" as if they were doing me a favor! I put a review on their website which I got notification was "moderated" and that they hoped they could "publish next time."

Unfortunately my situation is very familiar with the other comments. I had a shop NBC credit card with payments coming out automatically from my bank account. Well all of a sudden I get a notice that I missed a payment. After contacting the helpless credit department about the notice, I had proof of payment on my bank statement. That particular month I made 2 payments one with a check, which I had a copy stamped and dated when they cash my check. They wouldn't acknowledged it at all. How do you prove you made payments if you won't allow a person to send in the proof. Ok now it's been about 2 1/2 years since I made a purchase. So I saw an item I liked, tried to purchase it online, and it came up declined. I was puzzled because I was sure the matter had been cleared. Well apparently I had a mystery 12.50 unknown balance. Again trying to resolve the matter with the credit department is a joke! I paid that.
Again I tried to make another purchase 6 months later and they said they didn't receive the payment again. I had proof of the date I sent the check, and it was signed and cash via Evine. So I went to the competitor which I've never had a problem with. I'm saying all this simply to say someone in the credit department is doing fraudulent activity! Why is it always an issue and why aren't they helpful. So they told me I can make a purchase but can't use the value pay... Why it's not my fault that someone is not doing their job, or should I say they are taking advantage of their position at this company. I hope the CEO is reading how terrible his chosen credit department is reacting to today's customers and future ones as well.

Requested if a supervisor would please call me same day (today) under circumstances since it was very early in the day & because I can't wait another week to attempt resolve since niece's bday/Christmas so close. Answer? a very nasty, "No way, sorry you just have to wait". In same call, rep, Josh, said a shipment of my item was arriving very shortly- I asked if they would agree to ship before Christmas since it was Evine's error... Answer? A blunt "we won't do that". We made 4 added calls too reach a supervisor -finally succeeded, told her Josh advised of upcoming shipment & again asked for an exception to shop before Christmas. Supervisor replies, their rep, Josh, poorly advised us and that they never know when their shipments are due to arrive. She went speechless when I advised I've worked as an Inventory manager and know for fact that companies are always provided ship dates.
Again I asked if she would grant an exception & approve my item (nieces bday/Christmas gift) be shipped before Dec 25. All I got was nasty "no" and her conveniently disconnected phone call. After this experience & after reading the horrifying stories about people being legally harassed, scammed out their refunds, items, unjustly/illegally harassed, etc, why is Evine still in business. Anyone doing a class action suit??? At least HSN, QVC is reputable.

I order a TV and after a week I received a call from the delivery company that the TV was "lost." After more than a two weeks from the day I placed the order of non answers and non responsiveness from EVINE I was finally able to get both the deliver company and EVINE to acknowledge that the TV was lost. Guess what they did for? Told me I could file a claim to get my money back. Worst customer service from a large company I have EVER received

I had to return an order due to sizing issue & flawed product. I was given a $10.00 credit on the order for opening an Evine account. I reordered the same item I returned but they couldn't honor the credit because "Synchrony Bank no longer offers the promotion". I had to email cs 4 times & never got an answer to the question: "Will I receive the credit or not?"
Finally I called, was told I would get the credit, then later received yet another email stating that synchrony no longer offers the promotion. I CUT UP my Evine card & will never purchase from such an unethical company again! A good customer lost over $10.00 & about 2-3 hours of my time, over an issue that could have been solved fairly to my satisfaction. I happen to know they could have entered that credit any other way as a customer courtesy besides through synchrony bank! I also tried to cancel two other orders on their website because cancelling was listed as an option, then received an email that orders couldn't be cancelled in that way. WHAT??? NEVER have I, in 30 years of network shopping, experienced anything like it! BYE BYE EVINE!!!

Never made it clear about holiday returns. They advertise how long you have to send it back but not when it started. I received my order on 10/12 & sent some items back on the week before Thanksgiving with their return label thinking I was sending it back early & today they were returned to me. I called customer service they just said sorry & asked them why they couldn't give me a customer credit as the return was just a week difference & told them they never made it clear when it began. They said I ordered a week before their holiday returns took effect. I spent so much on that channel and they couldn't give me the courtesy of a customer credit because of a week.
All they say on the air is when it can be returned but never when it started. I could understand if it was ordered a month or longer but a week? I would have been happy with a credit. This isn't the first time I've had trouble with them but I figured I would give them another chance since I liked their products. They will not be a third chance.

I have ordered well over $2,500 between electronics, clothes and jewelry from this site. Recently I went to purchase ANOTHER tv and my account told me I was no longer able to use value pay. I called customer service to find out why my account was closed due to non payment of $40. They told me there was nothing they could do, it was policy. I asked them why I never received any calls or emails that my account was late (my debit card was stolen). They said I would have to talk to the collections dept and my account was already at a debit collector. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said she was one. I asked if there was anyone else I could speak with and she said another supervisor could call me but she wouldn't be able to do anything either.
The next supervisor that contacted me was very rude from the beginning. She told me that there is process it goes through. After the card is denied a few days later it goes to try and be processed again. After that, I would receive a call and after that call, it would be sent to collections where they attempt to collect and then it goes to a debit collector. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CALLS! She said she can see they made attempts, when I asked her to provide me with the dates she told me I would have to contact the collections department. If she is a supervisor and had access to see this why could she not tell me the information (they never called).
When I asked her if I made the payment today and had it resolved, would my value pay be lifted? She said NO. I told her my account has never been late and I've spent thousands here and I wanted to buy another tv for 639.99. She said sorry but they can't change it. My account was closed, I then said how unhappy I was and she said "Well ma'am I'm sorry, you should have kept up with your account like our other customers. It's our policy. This is what happens." I said, "You guys really can't let 1 mistake go, my card was stolen, I forgot about this last payment (back in June)." She said "No, you can only pay in full with us." and pretty much made it sounds like if I didn't like it, I didn't have to shop with them.
They must not need business. I would advise you to use HSN or another site, they have no positive relationship with their customers. They would rather send you to a debit collector and ruin your credit then actually attempt to get the payment. This payment would have been taken care the day I received a call if I would have known my old card was still on file. Collections was LAZY and never called. The supervisor could "see the attempts" but couldn't tell me when. Unorganized and rude!
Nothing was done because it's "policy" but it's also policy to contact the customer because things happen. Instead I was sent to collections & a debit collector and $40 is now negative on my credit. RIDICULOUS. So I ordered a tv through HSN and I will never order from Evine again. HSN also gave me 15% off my next purchase for being a new customer and I told them what happened with Evine & they gave me free shipping and will have it here before the holidays. THAT'S THE POINT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I called immediately when I placed an order because somehow the shipping address pulled in as the billing address even though I had already entered all the information correctly. I called and was advised no corrections could be done (even though it was literally within 3 minutes) so the original order had to be cancelled & reordered with correct billing address. 3 days later, I see both orders are 'Pending' in my bank. I called Evine immediately and was advised one of the amounts would 'fall off' in about 7 business days and there was nothing they could do.
I called my bank and they said they would return the funds with an email or fax from Evine confirming the cancellation. I called Evine back and was told it's not in their handbook to do that. I was told there is nothing they can do about it and I'll just have to wait to get the funds. This is such bull!! I called my bank again, told them what was said and they said they've seen a lot of disputes from this company! I was eventually able to forward the cancellation email I received to use as proof to get the funds back into my account the same day.

I don't even know where to begin with this company. I will say their stock is at an all time low thanks to their CEO MARC BOZEK. This guy had the nerve to say the stock was down in part because of the shipping deals they were offering. YO MARC YOUR SHIPPING IS THE MAIN REASON YOUR STOCK IS DOWN. I would have purchased QUAD of items if it weren't for the outrageous shipping charges. The shipping is one of the main reasons why your are driving EVINE stock into the ground. Now One of my personal experiences. BEWARE. WATCH YOUR CREDIT. EVINE STEALS YOUR INFO, constantly pulls your credit for NO REASON and then treats you AWFUL. The Service is AWFUL. When I first started purchasing from EVINE, I usually just paid in full. However, I decided to take advantage of the value pay to purchase my son-in-law a beautiful watch.
I have never missed a payment, always pay on time... Without my knowledge, they somehow obtained my Social Security #. They did issue me a credit card but the problem is I never gave them my SS#. To make matters even worse (As another reviewer on here had the same issue) without exaggerating, they were pulling my credit at least 8 (YES EIGHT TIMES ) a month. They have killed my credit score and FOR NO Reason. I did not receive a line increase. They just constantly check your credit. I called them on it and they said they want every date and every time. I said how about you just stop pulling my credit. (Companies can do a soft check of your credit maybe once every 3 months if you request a credit card which I didn't, if you owe them money or miss a payment on a value pay. I didn't fit any of the 3. They cannot pull your credit weekly. It's absurd. NO company does that. (Not at will) This is abuse.
Their customer service is even worse. If you receive something damaged or doesn't fit, they said "we'll send it back and if the item is available we will send you a new one at your expense". At HSN they send you the correct item right away and pay for the return shipping of the fist item purchased. They really work with you. EVINE NEVER provides an easy way to return items. They WAY OVER Charge for shipping and everything. They are now pushing this SWAGWAY. You can purchase the SWAGWAY from the actual company with FREE Shipping. EVINE is charging 20.00 to ship and if you don't like it, another 20.00 to send back. I can't stand this company. If you get a 15.00 lipstick deal, it's 6.99 to ship. If you don't like it, you keep it anyway because it's not worth what it cost to return. They make hard for you to return anything and take forever to refund your money.
They take the fun out of the what would have been the nice deal you were so happy about getting. This is why their CFO/CEO Marc is a complete idiot. He said stock was down because they were running shipping specials??? How did he get this job??? It's failing and stock is down because of how you treat your customers and because your shipping is ridiculous... someone fire this guy please!
I have stopped shopping with them and I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars only because there are specific product brands I can only purchase there... my sister and I both have stopped 99% of our shopping with EVINE because of their unethical ways... I hope something is done about this. I'm sorry CA I don't want EVINE to know it's me for fear of them ruining my credit further. However, I will gladly provide a copy of my credit report or anything else you like to prove what I am saying here. Thank you for allowing us to warn other consumers.

I recently bought Fudge from Evine Live. Edina who was on HSN selling David's Cookies is now on Evine selling fudge among other food products. We love David's Cookies and thought the Fudge would be a safe bet from Edina even though it cost over $35.00 plus shipping for 3 "loaves" of fudge. When the order arrived, 3 separate cellophane covered cheaply made boxes. None of the boxes were marked so we didn't know which flavor was in which box. That said we opened a box, turned out to be the chocolate caramel flavor. Well, the Fudge when I cut it fell apart, was very sugary, NOT at all creamy and WHERE WAS THE CARAMEL? The fudge on T.V. as Edina cut it just oozed with abundant caramel. I cut through the middle thinking I was too near the end to get to the caramel, NO caramel at all!
Not only that but it must be old due to the fact that it turned to sugar. We didn't try the other 2 flavors, if assumed I could return. BOY was I wrong. I called and spoke to Mike, nice man. He said they don't send return slips out with food products as they DON'T take returns on food. He then said he could refund my money minus the shipping and I said that would be fine. He put me on hold, came back to say he was "sorry but fudge is supposed to be SUGARY. It is candy after all!" I tried to explain that fudge should be creamy. I guess he never ate fudge before? He said, "food products are NOT returnable." I finally got mad and just hung up. Having someone basically tell you are an idiot and don't know that fudge is made from sugar was too much for me to swallow, pun intended.
Well, within 1 minute of hanging up the phone rang and it was Evine Live again. A man said, "you asked for a supervisor to call" and I said NO but since you did I explained the situation to him while he kept trying to interrupt. Finally telling me, "If you go to the grocery store and buying food and don't like it, they don't let you return half eaten food, do they?" I explained I only opened 1 box, the other 2 are still sealed. He didn't want to hear it, kept saying "food products are not returnable No Matter What!" I will never buy another food product from Evine Live. Buyer beware!

Evine Live is pulling credit reports on people that are using their flex pay (Not applying for credit cards) without the permission of the consumer. I am in the process of trying to refinance my home as was told absolutely NO applying for credit, so I purchased several Xmas gifts (As I have in the past) on their flex pay, and they did a Hard Pull on my credit report, which has now jeopardized the possibility of refinancing my home because that hard pull is on my credit report for 2 years, and lowers my credit rating!!! When I contacted Evine to express that they are not allowed to do a hard pull (but a soft pull, because I was NOT applying for a credit card) on my credit without my permission, and it has affected my credit, employee # was very defensive and did admit there have been complaints regarding this same issue.
I tried to explain the differences between a credit inquiry and pulling my credit and basically it was like talking to a wall. She just kept saying it is in a disclosure and that they can pull credit anytime they wanted. So when I asked her to give me details as to when they decide to pull credit first she said once a year, and when I asked her how come they had never pulled my credit before, or how come QVC and HSN never pulls credit for their flex pay, she then said that they can pull credit every 6 months. I then asked her why did she just tell me previously they pull once a year. Then she said it can happen anytime depending on what item(s) are being ordered. So I asked her then how do I know what items it is they pull credit on and she said that she could not tell me that, but it was something they will do and that cannot be changed.
I told her that this business practice can and IS hurting people, and if they are pulling credit for a flex pay purchase then why are they not giving consumers credit cards so we can take advantage of the free $20 gift if we open a credit card. She then told me it was different because the credit card is processed thru a third party. Either she was not capable of understanding what I was trying to tell her that pulling credit on a Flex pay is the same as applying for a credit card. It was obvious she was very defensive. My refi is now in jeopardy because I was unaware they do a Hard pull on my credit!!! I have been reading complaints and this is happening to hundreds if not thousands of unsuspecting consumers and it needs to stop.

Later in the day I went to check on the details of my order and find that it had been cancelled. I call and inquire and was advised that they had cancelled my order because I had chosen Value Pay and it was denied, so they cancelled the order. I asked why they didn't call so I could make payment with my credit card in full and why was I denied Value Pay many hours after the fact instead of when I was entering the order. I was advised that I was declined due to a credit check. I explained that I didn't supply my social security # nor did I authorize my credit report to be run as I was in the process of purchasing a home. I was forwarded to the credit department which was a recording. I checked my credit report and no inquiry, not surprising.
Fast forward to today, I purchased an air fryer a week ago and selected value pay. I notice a $139.62 purchase on my credit card from EVINE, and I know it's the fryer as I have no other orders with them.

I asked how is it possible to run my credit without my SS# and she replied "with your name and address." I explained I have a security freeze on my credit file and I have to lift it for my report to be run to prevent fraud. She transferred me to the credit department recorded line. Why didn't they cancel this one; they just charged $139.62 instead of $33.25. They just do whatever they choose with your credit.
I'm doing my final mortgage documents and I'd better not see any inquiry from them, not that I believe it's possible with my common name and no SS#.

The shipping on everything else is 4.99 (Which is enough) But they take the wind out of your sale. You are happy because you are getting a good deal and then they hit you with the shipping. They have no shipping specials like HSN. IF you pay the highest shipping the shipping is 1/2 for each additional product you purchase. I can deal with that.
I bought 3 small items and paid 21.00, I canceled the order. I don't understand how they don't see this? That why their stock is down.... Give us back our Once Only's come on EVINE. My last order was for Theoria hair. I would have bought 4 instead of one but I didn't want to pay 28.00 in shipping. It's absurd, you are losing more money in the long run. Many others feel the same way I do. I won't go into the service - that's a whole other issue.

I recently decided to purchase a couple of medium cost watches from Evine.com (the brand is irrelevant - they aren't the problem). And just like with other online/tv shopping services (QVC, HSN, etc. - who are NOT my problem either), they offer a payment process called "Value Pay". Simply put - pay for an item over 6 (or so) payments using your credit card. I've done this a couple of times, but not often - mostly for a big set of cookware, or something similar. And when I've done this, I noticed that they simply take your credit card and bill you each month till it is paid off. No problem.
So a few days after I made my Evine.com purchase I received a notice that my credit had been checked (I'm in the process of readying for a purchase of a home - so I'm watching it carefully). Lo and behold there was a hard inquiry on my credit from Evine! You may ask, "Well didn't you give them your social security number??" I did not! And the "disclosure" for Value Pay simply says (I'm paraphrasing) "Upon Credit Approval". That phrase is extremely generic. "Credit Approval" could mean anything from "you have a credit card on file" to "you have a 900 FICO score, we know.. we just checked!". Nowhere that I saw prior to placing this order was a statement "We will run a credit check.".. or anything like that.
So in this process of readying my credit - I now have an unwanted Hard Inquiry - but no extension of credit. For those of you who aren't aware of this.. in many cases that's a bad thing. If you apply for credit and it's granted, and you make payments as promised, your credit score tends to rise. However, if you have someone check your credit and then NOT provide you with any sort of credit line, that can drive your score down... as it did in my case.
Next I called Evine's customer service - and was met with "Computer says no" pretty much the entire time. "It's our policy not to remove inquiries", etc. So then I get this - "Well if you pay the purchase off in full, we'll remove the inquiry." I said, "How about I just return everything?" Response was - "No, you would have to pay it off. If you return it we cannot remove it." Uh... WHAT??? Wait.. if I pay you in full, you'll do it. But if I simply cancel the whole thing, you won't? That's a bit "scammish" sounding to me. I cannot fathom why companies cannot grasp one simple fact: Keeping customers happy is what keeps your business alive! Well this guy isn't happy - and I'm going to make sure others know why. Pretty costly mistake for a purchase of a couple watches - both on my end and theirs.

I purchased two watches on 9/5/2015, and between the first 9/08 and second purchases being shipped, 9/10...both of my credit cards were stolen. One purchase cleared, the second was flagged as possible fraud. My AMEX card was declined, so I then gave EVINE my VISA... Today, 10/14 I received a call asking me to pay for the second watch. I said sure, send me a bill. I was told that they "don't do that, and they would send the bill to collection'". I don't take kindly to have my TWO card numbers stolen, then used the next day to the only vendor who had BOTH numbers. I also don't like being threatened by using a collection agency, rather than take my money in a way that's harder to pass on...

This was the review I left on the product I bought and they refused to post it saying it did not meet their guidelines. I know it says "use the product before leaving a review," but if you have a issue and call or write and they do not fix the issue then it needs to put reviewed. It says "you get the makeup bag with this purchased," they did not send me one. When I asked about it, I got a response that they only will send one if there are enough to go around, and if and when they get them in one would be put in my cart for free if there are enough to go around.
No credit of any sort was offered or perhaps for good customer service send me another gift of sorts, so personally I do not like being deceived so I will be sending this back. It still states "Gift with Purchase - Purchase this item and receive this Borghese Woven Zip Top Cosmetic Bag." Oh and it still to this day says this. I do not like their so sad too bad attitude. So today I tried a some of the product - did not like it and left a review and mentioned the missing makeup bag, bet they do not post that one either. After reading all these reviews, now I understand how and why I was treated the way I was.

Saw a mattress on TV, called and the price shown was different from what the rep said was - they wanted more than advertised. She said she needed to see the recording and after the review she said the price was wrong and would adjust. I explained I wanted to pay in full but the rep said value pay can pay over time, no additional charge or no other info needed. On my credit file a few days later an inquiry was made by Evine. I called and was advised I needed to talk to the credit dept. I spoke to the credit dept Dan ** and he explained he needed to listen to the recording. I advised him I never asked for credit, never gave my social security number or authorized a credit check. I cancelled the order and was advised to call back in a few days.
Two days later I received an email the bed was shipped. I called and told customer service I had cancelled the order and why would they send the bed out. She advised me they could not get in touch with the manufacturer to cancel. I spoke with the credit dept DAN ** and was advised the review of the conversation did not reflect my memory and I asked for value pay.

On June 13, 2015 I ordered 6 clothing items - 5 on value pay, one paid in full. Seems the payments were $27.55 per month give or take a couple pennies. I had used my Father's debit card on my account. On July 20, 2015 he passed away. I went to the bank on August 4, 2015 and closed his account. I couldn't think of anything else that would be coming through that account. On August 30, 2015 I received a letter from Evine stating my value pays were behind. I called them at once and apologized for the oversight, asked for a pay off amount and sent them a check in the amount customer service told me. The check was cashed on 9/4/15.
This morning I was going to get a few Christmas presents and put them on value pay. I has two items in the cart and a red noticed flashed on the screen I couldn't use value pay. I couldn't figure out why so I emailed them. I got a pretty quick answer that I owed them money. Could tell me how much or any details but was given a number to the credit dept. The woman I spoke with was a real smart ass. She asked for account info and I gave it to her, then I just mentioned I had used my father's debit card on my account. At that point she acts all confused and says she needs to know what account she's addressing, mine or my father's.
Again I tell her it's my account I just used my father's debit card. Long story short we ended up in a talk over match, I hung up. Since then I have gotten numerous emails about "you can't use a check to pay off past due value pays." So why did you cash it, is my question. It's already cleared, but they want me to give them a credit card number to pay off this account that's already paid off.
After much more correspondence I was told to call the re-authorization Department to see if they will redirect my check payment to the value pays. Why else would you cash my check if you weren't going to do that in the first place. My check should have been put in an envelope and mailed back to me if it wasn't going to be applied to my account.

We packaged the first one up according to EVINE LIVES' instructions. It was post marked on 09/03/2015. Well lo and behold it was returned to us on 09/23/2015.
We also received another package from them. We opened it and it was a very expensive hand bag. The letter in the package stated they could not accept the hand bag as it was not bought from them. I immediately called customer service (1-800-676-5523). I was told, "I can't talk to you as this is not pertaining to you, it is pertaining to your wife." My wife had to give permission for myself to try and alleviate this bucket of worms that had been opened so to speak. I asked her why the watch had been returned. She stated, "Did you not receive a letter pertaining to our return policy of 30 days?"
First of all she was rude, disrespectful, and very arrogant least to say. I told her it stated "get the item home and try it for 30 days. If not satisfied return it," which we did. I went on to tell her about the expensive hand bag that was sent to my wife. I don't know what to tell you about that. I told her "it has your return address on it." I asked to speak to a supervisor and she told me they were all busy (Probably taking care of other complaints). I told her I would hold, she very rudely told me that would not be possible as they had thousands of customers they were helping. I asked if a supervisor could call me back. She asked "at this number you called from, yes." She hung up without saying goodbye or anything. Still waiting on the call. Worst customer service and company I have ever dealt with.

Even without opening the package I knew it contained all 3 items.
I have bought from Evine before but I believe think this is the last time for me. If I had been told upon the first phone call re: the returns that I would never be reimbursed I would have probably accepted it but to have this go on for over 2 months with a multitude of phone calls to customer service is a blatant display of either really bad customer service or shoddy business practice. Additionally, on this last return they included the original return receipt that says "ext 8/7/15"; I received nothing in the first ship back to me at all and no phone calls although I was told by customer service that I had.

Aside from the fact that they are constantly sending the wrong item and even when you call them to return it, they are always sold out by the time the transaction completes, I recently had a new experience that has made me decide to stop doing business with them. On Labor Day, there was a paint sprayer for sale offered on 6 ValuePays. I went to make the purchase online and the ValuePay was not available. So I called the ordering department and the operator (who was nice) explained ValuePay was suspended on my account. Now, having a substantial credit line with them that is always paid on time and usually in full or close to, I was surprised. She transferred me to a customer service rep who couldn't really answer my question. He acknowledged my account was healthy on all levels but he could not offer further assistance and told me I had to speak to the credit department, who was closed for the holiday.
I asked "If I got the ValuePay thing resolved and purchased the item, could I have the payment reverted back to ValuePay over full pay...?" "Sure, should be no problem." So I purchase the item with the intention of putting it on ValuePay the next day after straightening out the issue. First thing Tuesday morning I call the credit department. The woman explained that it was a glitch in their system, it was something that had happened to a few customers, etc. etc. so she lifted the ValuePay restriction - no problem. I told her I wanted to put my purchase from the day prior on ValuePay. She told me that would not be an issue if the order had not yet shipped - Customer Service could take care of it. If it had shipped, once it was received I could call them back and have the payments changed. Now being told this was possible twice, once by customer service and once by the credit department I figured we were all set.
I am transferred to Customer Service and had the misfortune of getting the most rude, obnoxious, condescending rep I have ever spoken to. He basically accused me of lying about the incident with the ValuePay saying he can only see the restriction was lifted, not that it was EVINE's error. Refused to put the purchase on ValuePay. When I asked for a supervisor, he asked me why. I said I want to file a complaint. He said I had to file a complaint through him and he would email the company. Really??? I got off the phone with that individual and emailed the company myself. They cared about as much as the rep. I'm not dealing with a company that makes a mistake, then refuses to honor their commitments to correct it. Not to mention the horrid service rep, lack of resolution, oh... and the fact that the next day an EVINE order came to my home...WRONG AGAIN. I'm done with this 2-bit company.

I purchased a Simmons Beautyrest mattress on 5/23/15. Part of the item description included a 69 Day Comfort Guarantee. On July 14th I contacted EVINE Live to request coverage under the guarantee. No such luck. Long story short is that EVINE is asserting that the 60 Day Comfort Guarantee was a typo and therefore will not honor the policy. The CSR handling my BBB complaint then pointed me to the "Terms of Use" agreement which states that EVINE can change whatever they want without prior notice. How convenient for them.
Have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, and the Arizona Attorney General's Office. I am also searching for an Attorney who might be interested in a Class Action Suit against EVINE for deceptive and/or misleading practices. The inclusion of a 60 Day Comfort Guarantee certainly influenced me to buy the mattress as it gave me peace of mind that I was purchasing it from an online retailer, sight unseen. In my opinion, EVINE Live misrepresented the 60 Day Comfort Guarantee in a material respect and as such, should be held responsible.

Next time I call Evine, a very nasty guy tells me I cancelled the insurance, so I'm not entitled to anything. I didn't cancellation anything! The check was from Evine, and my cashing it cancelled it. How tricky Evine is! They didn't even send this check to me, with an explanation, or anything else. Evine didn't keep up their promises of an honest company, they truly put me through a lot. There's so much more I could write that happened, this is long enough. I didn't know 199.99 was going to break Evine. It took me awhile to save enough to buy it, and then I lost it. How could they do this, and get away this it? I wish Evine would explain this to me.

Well, first off I would like to caution all who buy with the 6 easy pays be careful. Talk to Supervisor at Bank about us putting $800.00 payment towards TV we purchased thru Evine. If I hadn't worked as a Supervisor for an INSURANCE COMPANY and dealt with all aspects of the business I would of been screaming at the Bank & Evine. First, I got a Foreign speaking rep, insisted he switch me to a CSR in the STATES that speaks English.
2nd, after getting switch to the Bank figured out that they couldn't see all of trans. that had taken place. She finally explained to me that EVINE bills them once a month. They never see the whole bill, so that is why they didn't credit me for the whole $800.00. They could only bill me for what Evine charges them for the month. (very poor system.) So that is why my bill looked so stupid. They broke the $800 down into monthly payments. TOOK 10 MINUTES TO GET THIS OUT OF HER. Bank never knows your balance owed?
3rd. Transferred to Evine to check on balance owed. After speaking to CSR for 10 minutes finally figured out what was owed? Did it on paper and explained to her. She stated they are not notified when you make a large down payment. They bill the company monthly. Told her I want the balance owed from her. She really had a hard time figuring this out till I pushed her in the right direction. God help today businesses.

Put a down payment of 252.00$ on a 55" Hisense ultra hd. Total price was like, 952. I will then pay for payments of 166. I received TV by may 25, 2015. TV was taken out the box and looked fine.

I have called many times about my refund and all I get is "it will forwarded to this dept. Supervisor is working on it, haven't processed yet. We really sorry that it hasn't processed yet."

I called customer service and explained that no invoice was enclosed in the box and I wanted to return one of the items (310-640). I asked for the invoice and SMART label to be sent to my email address. I also explained that I was going to the Post Office and it closes at 5:00 p.m. I received the email with the invoice but no SMART label.
I called back to find out why I did not receive the SMART label but I received the INVOICE in an attachment. The customer service representative stated she will send it to me. Here again, it is 10:40 p.m., and still no label. I am angry and outrage that I have to continuously request and call for a SMART label when it should have been in the box with the items I ordered.

I recently found out that EVINE Live performed hard credit checks when I purchased watches online on a value pay. I tried contacting the company and spoke with several people in the credit department who are unapologetic. To be fair there is a hyperlink for terms of value pay the seventh or eighth pull it down list that Evine Live may perform a credit check and that all that you pay are at their discretion. What they don't tell you is that they are potentially damaging your credit rating for a watch and a $12.09 a month payment. It's unfathomable that a company would perform a credit check for simple merchandise such as this and proudly defend their policy by stating that they don't need your security number to perform a credit check if you want that you pay they just use your name and telephone number and address.
The Credit Counselor kept reiterated that it was their policy and I told her that I understand that she had to defend the company's policy however it is deceptive to the consumer. She said that it was my fault because I agreed to the value pay however I will say that while there is a link you must click on it and when you purchase by phone and asked for value pay no one tells you that they may do a credit check. She then said "well, it does seem like I can help you" and I said "I want it removed" and she said "well, that's not going to happen"! If this is truly a policy then it needs to be clear to the consumer and not hidden. Buyer beware! If this is truly a policy then it needs to be clear to the consumer and not hidden.

First off, I was able to order just as I always have, online. Problem with Evine is, they do not send any emails confirming your order has been made, nor any email stating tracking info. Then, there are NO options to speak with a LIVE customer service person but only an almost useless computer prompter with very limited ability. I ordered a Russian Diver I wanted for a very specific event. I saw Evine had an expedited shipping option and for $26.95, I took them up on it so I could have the watch on the 8th since it stated I would have it on the 7th.
Well, my wife tells me it arrived today, the 9th. The event was yesterday, so that can't be redone. The biggest problem is there was no real way to communicate with Evine (customer service number does not direct to a live person, tried many times), and I went through the "order" line to get a live voice of a lady who used deceptive language and never allowed me to speak with anyone.
The next day I spoke with another lady through the order line who did connect me with a live voice in customer service who I told my watch hadn't arrived and I paid extra and wanted reimbursement but she said I'd have to wait throughout the day to make sure it doesn't come. Problem was, she had already told me the watch had just shipped that morning and the tracking hadn't even begun! You get right to a live voice for orders, but no options for customers who already purchased. No proof you even ordered because they send no emails, even after complaining about such.
Ruined my whole outfit ensemble as I purchased a suit, shirt and tie AND watch to all go together, only for Evine to rip me off for the shipping (so far) and not deliver on time, plus make it hard to communicate the problem to them. I will continue to purchase watches, but Evine will not get a dime more from me. Why offer the expedited shipping option if you can't do it?! Is this just a scam?

November 3, 2014 I purchased the Waterford 2015 Snowglobe from ShopHQ at 800-676-5523. It was suppose to all be charged from my account at that time. I did not want the value pay option. I expected just one charge to be made on my credit card. While I was on the phone ordering the Snowglobe, they tried to sell me Shoppersadvantage.com. This is a rip-off 2-part company that Evine is connected with that sends you coupons. Most of the coupons even look like they would be impossible to use. I told them several times that I was not interested in the Shoppersadvantage.com. They said that I would have to cancel it then and I told them again NOT to send this and not to sign me up for it. After the Snowglobe came, I received mailings from Shoppersadvantage.com with the coupons in them.
At the end of January those two charges to the two separate companies went up to 14.99 each and that continued February and March of 2015 until I cancelled that credit card. Evine was also charging my account 14.39 every month for the snowglobe. The two companies were TLG*Shoppers and TLG*Everyday and both of those companies charged my credit card 14.99 per month for three months.
I never used a single coupon that they sent to my home in their initial mailing and I do not think anymore coupons were ever even sent to me. They say I still owe 14.41 for the snowglobe. I now get called everyday with them threatening me with ruining my credit over this charge and say it is the balance I owe for the snowglobe. I finally decided to pay the 14.41 and I am mailing it to them today. I think everyone should know what kind of thieves these guys are so I decided to try to let as many people know as possible. They are also very rude and nasty when they call your house. I am upset enough about it all that I do not think I will ever buy Waterford Crystal again, even though I have bought lots of Waterford crystal in the past. Also, I will never buy anything from the ShopHQ or any other shopping network from the television again.

I was talking to ** at the time Shop HQ rep and asked all about their smart phones, and was told they had some that could be used with Verizon. I opted to look up some info on my own and everything she told me about how the phones operate and what determines whether they can be used seemed correct. I called back and my husband and I decided to order five total because we were at the point of wanting to not have the hassle any more. I ask many times to have it recorded that I was having problems and it may take longer than the 30 days. I was told that wouldn't be a problem but I may need to pay a restock fee.

I waited and waited and found a message when I got home that said "We checked and even though they can't be used with your cellular company it's now well outside of the 30 days and therefore cannot be returned"! That's the runaround I've been getting all along. I told them each time from the beginning and asked 'in this situation will it be a problem to return since its due to holdups from other companies' I was assured it wouldn't be... but I was also PROMISED I had nothing to worry about on their end as far as those phones being usable either!

I have had it for 3 months but didn't wear it at all for about the first month. It was my 26 wedding anniversary present, so I waited until almost the end of November to wear it and honestly have worn it about 4 times all together. When I called ShopHQ which is now under a new name all they kept saying it was over the 30 day return period. Which I stated, "I just want a replacement. I'll send the defective one back.."
The rep was rude and got very loud. I asked to speak to a supervisor but was told after being on hold for a long time no one was available. So I had to leave a message. Two days later I get a call from a supervisor with the same attitude and NO Help - not able to give me NYC info to contact them directly, Terrible customer service and I just barely got the last EASY pay charged to my card. Amazingly how well they time orders and make it so easy to take your money but can't stand or even know how to contact their suppliers. TOTAL RIP OFF. This is not not the end of this story.

I purchased a video camera on payments. It was a Christmas gift with guaranteed on time delivery. I checked my account it said product being processed and gave estimated delivery date. The next week I called customer service many times since it had not arrived. A few days before Christmas I got a letter saying they checked my credit and was not approved. I called them to ask who gave permission to check my credit. They tried to tell me I signed permission. But they couldn't explain how I did that without knowing I did. They were rude, unkind and uncompromising. All I got was Christmas without a present for my family. I never purchased anything from them again. Also I had previously bought a few things without my credit being checked.

FYI: ShopHQ has changed their name to EVINE. I tried repeatedly calling the Customer Service, at different times of day and different days of the week. It always says that they are experiencing a high volume of calls and to go to the website. All you can do is e-mail Customer Service (???)! I purchased shoes totaling $59.87 for my mother in a Nursing Home. They didn't fit.
Usually return postage is deducted from the order, at least by HSN and QVC. Not so with this order. I needed to pay $22.98 to return ONE BOX OF SHOES!!! Also, I'm not even sure that they will accept them because their return time is only 30 days from the order date, so they take off their shipping time. I wanted to talk to Customer Service, but that is not possible because they apparently don't staff enough people. THEY HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS!!!!

I was a devoted customer of Shop HQ that went back to the days of Value Vision. I have spent thousands of $'s on mostly jewelry items. Only had one small problem when they sent the wrong item. It was corrected quickly. One day I purchased a ring from Shop NBC on value pay which totaled over $800. I received an empty mangled envelope from the post office saying it was received in this condition. I called Shop HQ and was treated as a liar almost a criminal. They made jump through hoops trying to get this rectified. The entire matter took months to resolve while the value pays continued hitting my credit card. I complied with all their demands but did not get it rectified until I complained to Citi Cards which straightened it out in days. I would not shop with Shop HQ again if they gave their stuff away.

I purchased an item in November as Christmas gift. I used the stretch pay offer and return date was extended to 31 January. Well the gift didn't go well so I returned it in mid January. Not only did they charge for return but also a restocking fee. Okay... they charged me three times for the same thing!!! Each flex payment was charged for return shipment. No resolution at all. After 6 years, I will no longer shop there.

I ordered sheets from shop HQ and got value plan to pay for them. In middle of paying for them, network changed name and claimed they did not receive payments. I gave authorization to take the money in a lump sum from my account. A month later, evine claimed I still owed money. Trying to be fair I authorized evine to take balance, and was charged another fee for doing so. Now evine has sent me a letter claiming to turn me over to collections for money they took from my account twice. I refuse to go there with them. My bank has it where they took the money. DO NOT ORDER FROM SHOPHQ NOW CALLED EVINE!!!!!! The name has changed but the game is the same! I wish I knew about this site before I shopped with ShopHQ/evine.

All my items that I bought on value-pay showed as ONE invoice and ONE total at the time of ordering. However, my bank was billed one item at a time. The first one generated an overdraft fee. I still would have had ONE overdraft fee BUT I had one for EACH ITEM! BAD, BAD.

I ordered a set of sheets and a duvet cover. On the website they were pictured as being a royal purple. I was shocked to see the colors I got. The sheets were a wine color but showed deep purple on the website. The duvet cover was a very light, faded purple but showed a deep purple on the website. Very disappointed with this and feel it's false advertising! Goodbye ShopHQ, hello QVC!

In October they were having a sale of Waterford crystal and I purchased 6 items. This crystal is not cheap so I put it on flex pay.. I opened the boxes and peeked inside and everything seemed to be OK. I put some items away for my new house and others away for Christmas. The glass rose had arrived broken but I did not realize it until the recipient pulled the rose out of the foam. I did not take it out of the foam when it came, I just peeked inside. I was so embarrassed. I called Customer Service and explained it to them and they stated I should send it back with a letter and it would be the discretion of the returns department.
So I got the box, marked all of the dents in the package and explained the box the rose came in was very compromised and the gift box was put back exactly the way it came. This glass rose cost me 85.00 plus other charges. While putting the gift box back in the shipping box I also realized that they should have used a larger shipping box as the product shifted from side to side. I explained this to the returns department and was surprised when the box was redelivered back to the house. I explained to the postman that it has to go back the returns department.
Today I received a letter stating I'm to call them immediately or the rose will be destroyed. Either return my money or new product. They knew when I ordered it that I was buying it for Christmas seeing 2 items were glass ornaments. I'm sure seeing I explained everything they will make good on their order as I've ordered a thousand dollars worth of products from them. Will update after the call.

All of the products I ordered from ShopHQ came in damaged and/or defective. I flat refuse to pay shipping and handling to return these items. I paid the shipping and handling to have them shipped to me, the least they can do is pay to have them shipped back, however, when I contacted them about this, they were extremely rude and told me just to keep them.
Now QVC won't do business with me due to the fact that they are the same company! Very, very unfair. I'll never shop at either company again. They are extremely dishonest. They ship out inferior products and advertise on air that they are great. When you receive them, they are damaged and/or defective. I had an account with QVC and the moment I had trouble with ShopHQ, QVC deactivated my account with them!
I ordered several Thomas Kinkade products from ShopHQ. Two clocks, one doesn't keep time the other doesn't keep time or chime when it's supposed to. Two paintings that were aired and said they were original Thomas Kinkade. When I received them and examined them, they aren't original Thomas Kinkade! Two Vases that were presented on air and were absolutely beautiful, when I received them they had ugly brown paint on them where it shouldn't be like it was running or smeared. One of them didn't even work!
They are rip-offs. I hope they don't stay in business very long due to inferior products being shipped out and then not paying the shipping and handling to ship them back. It's not my fault they are defective or damaged, it's theirs! They should pay for the returns and return my original shipping and handling charges due to shipping out inferior products. You just can't convince me that they don't do this on purpose! To anyone reading this, I would advice you against purchasing anything from ShopHQ!

The service was terrible. For a 49.00 dress they had me pay for 9.60 for over a year, and still paying. When I ask them about it, they can't give you any info about it, but they keep sending the bills and they don't know anything about it. And the people that supply the credit card don't speak English very well. They suck!!!!! Never again.

I placed an order for a mattress set on 1/16/2015. I have yet as of today 02/16/2015 receive my mattress. I received a call from FedEx stating they had my mattress in Newark. I had to call ShopHQ and advise them of this. They assured me that I would have my mattress or at least a call from shipping company. As of today nothing, I am pissed off. It's been way too long to wait for a mattress. These people are a complete joke. I have placed several calls to this company only to be told something to get me off the phone. At this point I just want a refund which will probably take months. Will never order anything else from them in life.

I have been a customer of the former ShopNBC and now, the Former ShopHQ (since they changed names again to Evine Live) for the past 8 years. I have purchased big ticket items from them in the form of Tiffany (style) lamps and furniture to jewelry, sheets, feather beds, coats, clothing etc.-you name it. I have never had a problem with the quality of the merchandise, return policies, shipping or billing until this past Christmas season. After ordering no less than $1,200.00 worth or merchandise, some on value pay and some paid for in full I was summarily cut-off from value pay after being told that my credit wasn't good enough for that service any longer. They cancelled an order I had placed for an Invicta watch with no notice whatsoever, never even offering me the option of keeping the order in tact and simply paying in full.
I was shocked and left scrambling to come up with another gift because of course the item they cancelled was no longer available. When I asked why this action had been taken I was told that a credit check (unauthorized) had been run on me which made me ineligible for further value pays. Mind you-I was NEVER late, there was NEVER a problem with my credit card or bank account and one week after my "alleged bad credit" made me ineligible I was offered not one but 2 credit cards from major national retailers which I happily accepted. When I explained this to a really rude, ignorant customer service rep and then asked what I needed to do to become eligible again I was told to "pay us our money for your existing value pays and we'll see what happens!" Ok, I'm done here. I work too hard to be treated like I'm being done a favor by being allowed to spend my hard earned money with them. No thanks. Back to QVC and HSN.

Okay so I ordered something about a month ago. It was under a "holiday return policy" which ends the 31st (Package must be postmarked). So I called the 27th to request a new invoice/shipping label (one did not come in the box). So they said they could not just email it to me and said they'd mail me one and still allow me to return because of the problem. Well 9 days later still no invoice or shipping label emailed and called today. Both reps said they would email me one but I couldn't return it anyway cause it was outside of the return time. I told them I talked with multiple people that said I would be fine and yet they're still not gonna let me return a $660 faulty item. This is ridiculous. I have a CC with them and a LOADED account. I use them all the time and I have already cancelled the credit card and returned. Everything else, I AM DONE.

I have ordered Donna Salyers Faux Fur products from ShopHQ three times, including once a couple hours ago. They are upfront about how long it takes to ship, but it takes a ridiculously long time. Expect your product to stay "in process" for about a week, whereas on the manufacturer's website (Fabulous Furs), it will arrive to me within a few days. The two companies' warehouses are not that far apart at all. And the pricing is hit and miss. I got a coat that retails for $499 on the Fabulous Furs website for $65 on clearance here, but I also overpaid by $20 for a zippered Faux Fur Parka because I make minimum wage and have to use ValuePay for now. So in a nutshell: Shop around and use this site as a last resort.

Shop HQ cares nothing about its customers. On 11/8/14 I returned two orders purchased on shop HQ. I used the shop HQ return label provided. The return was mailed using the US Postal Service, for which I have a receipt and a tracking number! It cost $19.52 to mail the return package. The Postal Service never delivered the return package to shop HQ. I've called the Postal Service several times trying to track the package. I've called shop HQ customer service at least six times in the past two months, to no avail. No one from shop HQ is willing to assist me!
Shop HQ is refusing to give me my refund! This is so unfair to me. My receipt proves that I mailed the package back to shop HQ. It's not my fault that the post office lost it, or did not deliver it. Although my receipt proves that I no longer have the package, shop HQ is still refusing to refund my money! I purchased these items on value pay and I am still being charged for the items. Therefore, they are forcing me to pay for items that I no longer have!!
I should not be penalized because the post office lost the package! Granted shop HQ doesn't have the package from the post office, but neither do I! I use all of the three major Home Shopping Networks. I have never been treated like this before! Shop HQ is refusing to accommodate my loss. And I'm caught in the middle; paying for an item that I no longer have. As long as they're getting their money; it's okay that I am losing mine! I will never order from shop HQ again! Beware if you have a return!!!

I purchased in good faith a TV that I saw on the ShopHQ television broadcast on January 3, 2015. I ordered it online and waited for a delivery date. It finally arrived on 1/23/15 as it was delayed from being shipped from the manufacturer's warehouse.
I waited because it was an awesome TV that we had been wanting for a long time to purchase. When we received it, unfortunately it was damaged on the front screen and could not get the picture to work. So I called SHOPHQ and spoke to customer service representative who told me that they would arrange to pick up the damaged TV but I would not be able to have a replacement one only a refund.
Under no circumstances was it advertised during the broadcast that this was a limited series and that replacements were not going to be offered should a defect in manufacturing occurred or damage during transit. Had I known this, I would have opted not to purchase this unit. I would have shopped else where so that I would have the TV we have been seeking in our home for Super Bowl Game.
I was offered another TV by SHOPHQ at a different price which was $1,0000.00 more and did not include the 2 year warranty and was not a 4K pixel unit, nor was it 65 inches only 55, which I already had a unit near that size. I would suggest that BUYERS BEWARE of purchasing big-ticket products such as TV's from this company. SHOPHQ should have replaced the unit with something comparable at their expense. One unhappy customer results in lost sales, and then 1 leads to 100 then, 100 leads to 1000, etc.
Having been in customer service for 50 plus years, and a business owner myself word of mouth does a lot of damage to a company's reputation. So go to a store in your area, where you can get good customer service, results and not have to deal with customer service representatives who are not qualified to be in the business or it's the only job they can get. I spent 5 hours on the telephone trying to resolve this issue, which should have been handled by SHOPHQ customer service reps instead of me. Glad you do not work for me, because you would be out of a job.
