HSN
I ordered a gateway quad core laptop from HSN with my HSN card was on a Today's Special so got it for a real good price. Ordered it on 3/12/11 said estimated arrival date 3/31/11. I went online to check my order status said CC declined so I called customer service they said it wasn't that the CC was declined they Cancelled my order because someone from their company called me and left a message to make sure this wasn't fraud but since I didn't call back they cancelled my order. I NEVER received a phone call from anyone regarding this order this is why I never called back. The representative wasn't any help and actually kind of rude. I spoke with a Supervisor got the same story with all these apologies but still no laptop they can't help me it isn't in stock so can't re-order it for me (yes it wouldn't be in stock it was a special value or whatever they want to call it). They offered me a $50 credit what good is it I will NEVER order from them again!!! I was telling one of my co-workers about this and she said the same thing happened to her but it was a computer she ordered and then she said about a week later she showed they cancelled it and when she called them they told her it was because the product was sold out!! If you do order from HSN don't get your hopes up that you will actually receive your purchase.

Return Policy Sucks
HSN will not accept returns that were Christmas gifts if you purchased them prior to October 1st. That's insane! I can return things to QVC, Kohls, Penneys, etc. with no problem as long as it is returned in January and have done so. They are sending my items back to me. It's stupid of them to lose a customer and pay for return shipping (and I used their return label so they've paid to send it twice) rather than give me a refund. I've canceled my membership and will no longer order from them. I suggest anyone else be careful about doing their Christmas shopping early, or any shopping with HSN.

Not honorable
Purchased a pocket video camera from HSN and because I purchased it more than 30 days before Christmas, they refused to exchange or allow me to return it for a refund. Personally in this time of lost jobs, lost homes and higher prices - I think that a policy that causes people who put faith in a company to be out of their hard-earned money and to be left with unusable products is shameful and dishonest. Kmart has an extended return policy which allows you to return substandard items and products for up to 6 months in most cases. While I don't expect a company like HSN do be that generous, I do think that 30 days on an item purchased as a Christmas gift and that is clearly defective should be handled in a customer friendly way. Every place I can lodge a complaint will hopefully over time put a place like HSN out of business. This is a company that has no concern for their customers and which clearly do not stand by their products - many which are substandard. This is the second item I've purchased from HSN that has not worked. A margarita maker had to be thrown in the trash. After using it only three times, it just stopped working. I didn't bother to deal with HSN about that as I had it for over a year but clearly HSN is selling crappy products. My suggestion: utilize stores and websites that offer more generous return/exchange policies, do a little web surfing and check out places that lodge complaints about businesses before giving them your money. HSN's prices are not the best. After looking around, I found the same camera for cheaper somewhere else and the price I paid could have purchased a pocket video camera from a better known name brand like Sony or Kodak. As consumers, we are the ones who keep places like HSN in business but we have the power to render them useless when they don't treat their paying cumstomers with honesty, courtesy and respect.

Security Question BS
I ordered a tv and placed it on my cc with the 4 payment flex payment option. I had more than enough credit available. I noticed two days later that the same item was now only available with 1 or 2 payment option. On day 3 after I placed the order, I received a call from their security department. They told me that because I chose to ship to another address other than my own, I would have to answer some security questions. I agreed. The first question asked was who my auto loan was with. I don not have an auto loan nor have I had one in over 25 years, so I answered does not apply. Whom do you do your banking with? I answered none of the above because the did not list the bank I have my 15 year account with! They asked for the last 4 numbers in my ssn. All the numbers they read to me started with 5. Mine starts with 7 so of course I answered none of the above. And the best one is when they named 4 persons who may have lived with me in the past 10 years. I have lived in the same home for over 18 years, and I would think that I would know who lived with me, BUT HOW WOULD THEY KNOW! THIS IS BS.
OH WHATS NEXT! WHAT COLOR UNDERWEAR WAS I WEARING WHEN I PLACED MY ORDER? THESE QUESTIONS ARE BS
OF COURSE I FAILED... AND THEY LOCKED MY ACCOUNT.
This has to be by design. I placed the order, using their "secure website" I typed in the address I wanted the item shipped to when I placed the order. This make no sense with one exception. It sounds like they did a credit check, didn't like what they saw, and cancelled my purchase. I said to them, well just ship it to my home address, and they said because I failed their security questions my account is locked and cannot be changed.
I will be looking into this to see if this is legal and if they can be sued. I know what my credit is. If they stated that purchases are based on a credit check I wouldn't have ordered anything from them.

Scam
HSN cancels purchase because they say they had the wrong expiration date, so therefore I lost my purchase which sold out and was a special value with free shipping on easy pay.

The promo was a $20 discount on first purchase when opening a new CC account. I was approved and the account was linked instantly so the purchase went through. A few days later I looked at my order to see the CC was denied??? I called HSN and they blamed the bank. I called the bank, they blamed HSN. Something involving the expiration date, but I did not have my card since this all was in one process, and this was an immediate purchase. If this is a glitch in their system, I wonder how many other customers got duped into opening a new account. HSN has my phone number and email and they never contacted me either, but even so, I did not know what the expiration date was as it hadn't arrived yet so this was between the bank and HSN.

I called the bank after losing my purchase and canceled the card, and called HSN to let them know I no longer want to be a customer.

late fees
Anyone dealing with HSN who is financed through WFCB needs to be aware that they need to mail a check at least 10 days before a payment is due because you will not be given credit for a payment on the day they get the check;; but rather on the day that your check clears your bank. This is a scam and is done to collect late fees on unsuspecting customers. The big banks get a reputation for a reason and I will cancel my account so the thieves don't get any more of my money.

Poor electrical products/service
I agree totally with ALL of the complaints. I also purchased Ultrex Convection Oven and it caught on fire. HSN sells HORRIBLE electrical products. The only thing that still works is the Joy M. My Little Steamer. The Ultrex product line is simply garbage. I will never buy anything that plugs in from HSN. Better yet, they have permanently lost a longtime customer. I don't even watch the channel anymore so I won't be tempted. I will check with my attorney friend to see how to start a class action lawsuit against HSN. Their advertising says these are the "last" pots and pans you'll ever have to buy. Yeah that's true is you die within the next year or two. Pure garbage. Will keep all posted. If someone else files one, please contact me at [email protected]. Again, I think it should be against HSN since Ultrex is probably somewhere else selling cookware under another name. Also, when I returned a broken item, they sent me one that had been used and returned by someone else. Just HORRIBLE!!!

Bad Business practices
I am unable to order any items from HSN because my address has been blocked from ordering. Apparently someone else at this address owes HSN a lot of money, and it is their policy to block thae address from ordering to protect themselves. However, I live in an apartment building in NYC with over 70 apts. I gave tthem my apt # to show this. However, while the supervisor I spoke with sympathized with me, he said they would TRY to get the block removed for me, which would take 3 to 5 business days--but could not make any guarantees. I feel that this policy is very strange and quite unfair to those of us living in apts.

order issue
i ordered a roomba vaccum from hsn on may13th, and about 5 mins after order was placed i realized my old apt# was still on account...i called hsn customer service and advised them of the error. the rep i talked to was very nice...she stated that she would change the apt #. about 3 days later i got an email showed delivery confirmation, but to the wrong apt number even after i called and told them. so i called them back she said not to worry they would dispute it with ups. about 2 weeks later i got a letter from hsn stating they researched it and ups shows it was delivered. well i called them and they said once again it will be fixed dont worry you wont be charged. its not july25th and guess what it showed up as a charge on my checking account..now they state they dont show i called 3 days after i placed the order to change it..i have now had to file a dispute to get my money back from hsn...

no refund on return
I returned a computer router to HSN within 7 days of receiving it viaUSPS. Didn't hear from them, they can't find my return. Didn't use tracking nor insurance. Dumb me. So i'm out $95 plus $9 postal charge. I'm sure its sitting in a warehouse in Comptom California waiting to be processed.
The item in question is being sold for $20 less today at Wal-Mart. So I'm really a doofus.
