I have been ordering from Shoeme for over a year. They have a great selection, both of run of the mill brands and ones I don't see in any of the Calgary stores. I have ordered everything from fashion to work footwear. My size is pretty standard 8M. Their prices are competitive. Always run 20-30 percent of sales, so I wait for them. Have had to return a couple of them and never have had a problem. I receive a return label within 2 days, pop them off at Purolator which is very close to me and the money is refunded into my Paypal account no later than a week. Shipping on most items has been within 3-4 days. I don't have the time (or really the desire) to go from mall to mall, only to find that when I do find something, they don't have my size. I can wear them around the house for a day, just to make sure they are OK. Most of the negative ads I've read about them seem to be regarding one particular brand so I would tend to think the problem lies with the supplier. I don't think I'll ever purchase shoes anywhere else. Have bought from their outlet site as well and been satisfied. I work as a server and am on my feet for sometimes 12 or more hours a a day. The Propet and Walking Cradles are fantastic!
The only complaint I have pertains to their rather limited descriptions. I run into this only on their knee high boots. I have a small calf and they don't state the circumference size. I solve this buy going to other (usually the manufactures) websites to get the info I need Again, I am from Canada so the shipping charges from American sites make it not worthwhile to order. While some do offer free shipping, if you have to return, it is at your own expense

First of all, I am from Canada. I too got 'hooked' by this website and placed several orders, Then I found this site a thought 'oh $%*#" what have I done. To my surprise I am quite pleased. First order was 4 items - tops. They were a bit more lightweight than I expected, but not cheap looking. The sizes on all were quite big - I ordered small. Two I can work with as they are a 'baggy' style. I thought 'well I'll see what they will do if anything'. According to this site they were not going to do anything. They said to return them for a store credit. This suits me as it does state that they are not eligible for return. Next a apir of leggings. They were fine. Third, two more tops which I was sure would not fit - they did, which made me happy, as I really liked them. Third order, two pairs of shoes - fit, very nice for the price. Two of my orders were cancelled - again, fine with me as I over-spent anyways. On one of the cancelled items, they issued me a 10.00 credit for my troubles. The item was only 18.00. The shipping so far has been quite quick. Placed my first order on Oct. 15 and today is Nov 10. I find the shipping charges (and duty) to Canada very reasonable. Overstock added approx. 20.00 to each item plus a couple of items on overstock were 10% higher. When an item was cancelled, they were very quick to credit my Paypal account. I love the selection as although I live in a city of over 1 million people, it is hard to find unique and different items. I have worn a couple and get a LOT of compliments from people. Again, being a Canadian, Ebay sellers what to soak you more than the item cost for shipping. I don't understand what people are $#*!ing about so much. Then again - Canada we expect to wait. Plus, to not sound like a snob, but I am not ordering 15-20 dollar items. Mind you I also would never pay the normal retail price they list either. When I did contact Zulily service, they were very fast to respond. I will keep ordering. The only reason i didn't list a 5 star rating was because of the sizing misrepresentation, and the suggested retail price.

Tip for consumers:
Canadians!! Watch carefully. Once I placed an order for two 'duty free' items, but when I checked out, duty was assed. i contacted them and they said it was a computer ;glich' (could be) and they refunded me the charged duty. Watch for those items as it does make them more affordable. Of course we have to pay tax. Also, view the items as close as you can to see, the quality - re thickness of fabric. sometimes the same item in a different color shows this more clearly
