OT, HSN, Home Shopping Network
« on: September 05, 2006, 07:49:39 AM »
I need some Bamboo towels and this HSN is cheaper than Amazon, but Ive never bought anything from HSN.
I am wondering if it is an OK company to order things from.
I prefer to use Amazon and Target, as I never have had a problem with them at all.  And they have good privacy policy.  (Target ran out of these towels)
Have any of you here heard of HSN, and would you think its a reputable company with a decent privacy policy?
Thank you,
Jane

Well, it's only been around for about 10 years! There must be about 15 similar 'companies' on TV now. I just wish there was a way to delete the channels fro our TV sets. wallbash.gif Not being a "shopper" I just see them as nuisances. Never ordered anything from them or Target. Surely the towels are not so expensive that you will be bankrupt should they dissolve in water? eek2.gif smile.gif I'm not that sure how one can tell the quality, texture, craftsmanship, much less actual color by seeing something on a TV or a computer screen. dntknw.gif

Hi Jim,  We feel the same way about the TV stuff, weve got our remote so that it will skip over those nuisance channels.

Those Bamboo towels got a great review in Consumers report mag.  They will make nice presents, but first I wanted to get some for us, so that I could see how well they launder and how we like them.
There is a Target store near our daughter's house and she could return stuff, if I didn't like it, but never gotten anything bad from Target yet.  Its not top quality, but OK for most things.   If I dont like them, I will donate them to our "help center".
Just came back from kayaking, what a lovely calm day, and all the summer people have returned to the city, so we can park anywhere and bring dogs to all the beaches!
Thanks,
Jane

I've not shopped there (I block them using the remote's blocking feature), but my girlfriend shops with them all the time and has never had a problem.

Actually I just found them on this site,
http://www.usawallpaper.com/batobyka.html
And this is better, as I can order them individually and the color selection is much much better than HSN.
Also noticed that the HSN towels you have to order in sets, and all the sets have only 5, meaning that you only get one hand towel with 2 bath and 2 wash cloths.  thats a bummer.
I will go with this site above.
Thank you,
Jane
