Although I don't care for their products (too much hype), pricing, or shipping rates, they do (to a degree) stand behind what they sell.
Everything I've ever purchased from HSN was a total disappointment. I almost felt as if I were scammed into believing their product reviews and descriptions were better than the actual products I received. Like I said, in other words, there's too much ado about nothing.
I have recently returned merchandise to HSN. They very generously and promptly, might I add, refunded my initial shipping charges, in addition to the full purchase price. I of course, had to pay an outrageous amount of $24 at the Post Office just to ship "1" of my returns!
I realize that HSN is not responsible for the rates at the Post Office. I do however, feel that I should have been reimbursed or compensated in some way, for having to return merchandise that did not perform as well as described on their television program.
