About Me

I'm a wife and mom who loves a bargain but like everyone else, has to be careful with my money. I want a bargain, but I don't want it at the expense of quality.

How I Can Help

I sell Vintage and Antique items on Etsy so I may be able to help you tell the difference between new and vintage, and vintage and antique.

Interests

Australian Shepherds, Shopping, Shoes, I sell on Etsy, VINTAGE items

If I can't find it on Amazon I figure I don't really need it. I'm a prime member and I love the two day shipping, the prime video, and all the other benefits.

You have to really pay attention with items that have different colors or fabrics, etc. the prices can and usually do vary. You may want the black shoes in an 8 but the blue shoes might be significantly cheaper. (Example)

I've got a kindle fire and love the ease of ordering books thru Amazon. There are just so many features and benefits that I'm certain I don't use them all.

As with anything, shop around, even within the site. Prices do vary by vender, color, sizes, fabrics, et.al.

It's truly my favorite place to shop and I also go just to read the verified purchase reviews on something I might purchase in the future.

I count myself lucky. I live about an hour from a Vitacost warehouse so when they ship with this ridiculous company I usually get my order the next day. That said, they drive these beat up piece of crap cars that, when you hear the booming base and VROOM VROOM of them trying to sound cool in their crappy cars it scared me because I had no clue who was in my driveway and what they could possibly want. Then some kid gets out with my rather large box and rings my doorbell and beats on my door sending my dogs into a frenzy. Hearing the dogs he literally runs to his car, revs the engine and hauls butt. No ID on the vehicles, ever. UNTIL. Recently they've started wearing uniforms and one time I got a delivery from a brand new VAN with laser ship on it! Once. I guess they can only afford one.

Their tracking is ridiculous. It's never up to date. Their customer service is run with gum cracking young girls (OK, some guys too) that could care less about your package or their job. They really are a terrible company and the one time Amazon delivered with them I complained to them that I expected better from Amazon. Never had another Amazon delivery from laser ship since. Now they just use the USPS which is another bad review...

Demand the company you buy from to stop using this POS company. Maybe they'll go out of business.

This site presents itself so nicely. It draws you in to the point of near addiction in some cases, including mine. I had the alarm set on the app (or maybe it did it by itself) that goes off at 9 am and says "Time to shop Zulily" in my phone screen. I'd check the site 5 or 6 times a day, and find ALL the ways to shop.

Everything is professionally photographed and it all looks so lovely, of such great quality and you just gotta have it! I bought several shirts, a jacket, a step on trash can, a toilet paper holder and two pairs of Toms shoes.

I have gotten the toilet paper holder and one pair of the Toms. I'm still waiting on the other pair. Why didn't they ship together? Who knows?

I found this site yesterday and my heart just sunk. I don't have money to lose on ill fitting and ill made items so I picked up the phone and called them. I said that I had read this site and was horrified to see that the quality of clothing was poor, and that most times they didn't fit and that I was on a fixed income (who isn't?) and told them I wanted to cancel all clothing items. I'd take the trash can if it will ever get here and I want the other pair of Toms.

To my amazement they cancelled the clothes and my refund is processing. Amazing... simply amazing. And better yet, the Toms that I've watched stay stagnant on their "way to Zulily" are magically preparing for shipping! As for the trash can, well, it'll get here eventually. I wish it would hurry up tho---I got it to keep my kitten out of my bathroom trash!

So, all in all, Zulily has it's good and bad qualities. They did accommodate me in my time of hysteria and they did magically get my shoes moving. Some things are priced fairly and some are crazy bad. I can do better with my prime account on Amazon. It just depends. Like with anything else you have to shop around.

I will say this... if you didn't know about their policy and how they acquired their merchandise, and that it was a long wait to get your things, it's your own fault for not reading! This is not Zulily's problem, it's yours. You must read all the fine (or in your face LARGE) print!

So, just be a savvy shopper and don't let them sucker you in by their pretty pictures and magical words. And if you get something that is of poor quality or doesn't fit, CALL THEM and tell them. What have you got to lose?

Tip for consumers:
READ THE POLICIES!!!!
