Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On January 30, 2015, QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) announced that it will offer new shipping and handling rates on most items for which it charges shipping and handling for standard delivery in the United States starting February 2, 2015.
While some restrictions apply, the new rates are as follows:
• | All apparel, beauty, and jewelry ships at $3, regardless of price or weight. |
• | Most items under $50 and less than one pound will ship at $3. |
• | Most other items under $100 and one pound or more will ship at $5 or $7. |
• | Items $100 or more will ship at existing shipping and handling rates; however many of these items include shipping and handling or QVC offers them with free shipping and handling. |
As part of this change, QVC will no longer discount shipping and handling when a customer buys two or more items in the same order.
In addition, QVC will continue to refund original shipping and handling on returns if an item is defective or QVC made an error; however, effective with orders placed on or after February 17, 2015, if a customer returns the item for any other reason, QVC will no longer refund the original shipping and handling.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K in satisfaction of the public disclosure requirements of Regulation FD and shall not be deemed "filed" for any purpose.
