It could be a week or it could be 3 months. But my advice would be not to order at all. The sizes are never right (a small may fit someone that wears a large or it may be too small for an infant) and the quality sucks (the fabric on a dress I bought is so thin you can see through 4 layers). STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!

I cancelled my order after two months when I still hadn't received all of it. Sadly what I did received was sized wrong. My son called BBB and finally they returned my money. If you're wanting something for a Christmas gift then I wouldn't order from them. Customer service is horrible too, please read BBB reviews before ordering. Sincerely, Barbara Haskin

Plan on 4-6 weeks, maybe 8 - but don't hold your breath. And if it's not what you expect forget about getting an exchange or return that won't happen. Advise that you not order.

You might forget about it before you get it, and when you get it... 75% chance something will be wrong with it, Unless you buy a specific name brand

You should plan for 3 to 4 weeks as their delivery times are long. I believe that sometimes the items are made once the order is received. I have always received merchandise ordered.

You may possibly receive it before the start of the next ice age.

I got the dress I ordered in 2 days! The dress is ugly of super cheap material and I would have to be at 6' 5'' to not have the hem touch the ground. If I hem it the bottom border will be gone. Also the seams meet up poorly. I ordered a large and it is just a little bit big around on my 5'2" 78 lb granddaughter. Lesson learned.

It took 5 weeks to receive 1 of 2 items in my order. I cancelled the 2nd item when they sent me an email saying that it would take another 30 days.

It depends on the company it's coming from, the quicker you order it thr faster they can begin to process your order. I've received items in as little as 4 days, up to 4-5 weeks. Hope this helps!

The website often tells customers it would take 3 weeks to get your purchase. I have a very strong suspicion that zulily's goods are shipped directly from China since 3-4 weeks is about how long it takes China's imported barrels and shipping boxes to ship from China post to US docks. China post is notoriously slow which explains the 3 weeks for delivery thing.

Hmmm... A lot of negative answers on here. I ordered two pairs of fancy stockings and I got them in two weeks. I've probably ordered from Zulily, no lie, like 10 times, and I've always received the merchandise ordered. Everything was great, except this one time. I ordered a dress size medium, and it fit a little to snug for my liking. It's in my closet, never worn and it was kind of expensive. But, I don't know. Shipping takes longer, because they send your order to the vendor, then the vendor sends it to Zulily, then Zulily ships it to you.

We ordered Jim shore collectible in late September. We have yet to receive. We have never been notified of delayed delivery, when we contact for information on shipping we are advised that it is the suppliers fault as they are out of stock. If you cannot ship don't sell. Don't waste your money here, order elsewhere.

@ least 3 wks. I've never ordered in a rush and a delay was never a problem. I've twice had a problem with the size and the quality. It was immediately taken care of.

Depending what you order. I ordered Dr. martens and some winter dressy boots. Took a month for that one. Second order was lego containers and a scarf took 2 weeks.

It's hard to be definitive since they deal with many venders. I would say anywhere from 1 month to 4 months. If your item is for Christmas, I wouldn't gamble on it.
