Zulily Reviews Summary

Zulily's reputation reflects a significant decline in customer satisfaction, with many long-term shoppers expressing disappointment in product quality and customer service. While some appreciate the variety of offerings, a prevalent concern is the inconsistency in product quality, often described as low and poorly represented online. Customers frequently report frustrations with shipping delays, cumbersome return policies, and inadequate customer support. The shift in management appears to have exacerbated these issues, leading to a general sentiment of disillusionment among previously loyal customers, urging the company to reassess its operational practices to regain trust.

Zulily stole my money.
December 9, 2016

Was looking for christmas giftsn2 days ago on zulily. No way to save what u are interested in other than place i shopping cart. I had racked up $719 worth of stuf that I now needed to review and select from. The "purchase" key is right above the backbutton on the phone, and I accidentally brushed it. It immediately purchased the items. I had contacted zulily by phone in less than a minute. Was told that my funds had already been "captured", but they would cancel the items. Within qt" I received an email showing the items as cancelled. Still showed as pending on my checking accounf. Today the $719 has posted, the funds have been removed from my checking account. My bank (Chase) says Zulily has 1t days to return the money. Zulily told me just now 3 to 5 days. Whatever, zulily now has the use of my $719 for days, meaning they get interest off of my money. And I dont have any money for christmas purchases until it is returned to me, at their discretion. Beware and be warned, zulily is a company that will screw you as quickly as possible.

I love Zulily!
December 9, 2016

I have been purchasing from Zulily for well over 4 years! I have nothing negative to say! They do offer name brands (never had a problem with fake merchandise, and I KNOW fake) but they also have some independent merchants and some are questionable. So I know what tomorrow from them! I get amazing deals on the brand name stuff and once in a while I buy from an independent (at my own risk) and have not been disappointed. Every single time I have had an issue (2xs in 4 years) Zulily has gone far and beyond my expectations to set it right! I will continue to buy from them as long as they are a company! I check deals every single day!

I was very leery about ordering from a site like this, but the stupid ads kept coming up with really cute looking clothes. I finally gave in and shopped on the site when I saw something that looked really awesome. I placed an order for enough items to get the free shipping (over $50). I did receive the items in about 3 weeks (longer than I'm used to, but not completely unreasonable). I had read the fine print and knew they probably wouldn't accept a return if something didn't fit. The boots I ordered fell into that category. I tried asking for a refund anyway, and they said they would "refund it" after I sent the boots back. So I sent them back (at my OWN expense) and instead of a refund, they gave me a store credit. They also didn't even NOTIFY me that I had a store credit. I only found out because I remembered to go back to the site and look through my account to find out if they had given a credit instead of refunding my card. So now if I wanted to use my "refund," I had to buy again and pay shipping. I managed to only be out $5 and some change for my second order by signing up for some service I'll never use to get the free shipping again. (Basically I gave them an email address which I will now delete so I stop receiving all this spam they're sending.) The second round of items worked well enough that I'm not completely unhappy, but I won't order again because all the items I received are made from super cheap materials and do not fit well. You get what you pay for. This is just cheap crap from China with really good photography on the web site.

BUYER BEWARE
December 6, 2016

I don't normally write reviews but I write this as a public service. Their merchandise is cheaply constructed. They do not tell you up front that they don't accept returns. When you call them to return an item, they tell you that they do not accept returns. Then they ask for the order # etc and tell you that they will email you info for a return but that you will only get store credit. Just be sure about your order because once you receive it you are pretty well stuck with this company.

Not professional
December 5, 2016

I have been waiting for a refund for since three weeks and the customer service answers me all the time alongside the question i asked. Once they told me that it did not arrive and now tell me to wait.
They are not professional

Do not order from Zulily
December 1, 2016

Do not order from Zulily! The clothes they advertise are not what you will get in the mail! I waited almost two months and got items that looked nothing like the clothes pictured. They were not even close to being true to size at all.

LIARS & CHEATERS:
November 30, 2016

Items that are silver plated are represented as being STERLING SILVER.
Items that are rhodium plated are represented as being 18K WHITE GOLD.
Items that are clearly ordinary China Crystal are ALL represented as SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL.
Items that are made of turquoise dyed howlite are represented as TURQUOISE.
The Suggested Retail Prices have little relationship to REALITY so the %age discounts represented are entirely BOGUS.
Items that are made of glass are represented as being either genuine stone like Amethyst or Sapphire or as Cubic Zirconia. Clearly because cubic is not available in some of the colours they represent - the deception is too obvious.
THE EXCUSE ZULILY USES IS THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRUTH OF ANY DESCRIPTION BECAUSE "THE VENDORS" GIVE US THEIR DESCRIPTIONS.
Buyer BEWARE.

One item I purchased didn't even have buttons sewn on... so it was unwearable and didn't do up. The other is a jacket and it's the worst quality garment I've ever purchased; the photos they use are SO misleading. I think they lie when they quote the 'full' price to make the discount price look like a great deal for a quality product. Don't fall for it. I googled one of the 'brands' and they don't even have a website and all that came up was Zulily! Total scam. I wonder why there is a no returns policy... TERRIBLE!

Never order from here
November 30, 2016

I ordered a comforter set from here for it not to ship. Emailed them about and they couldn't tell me why it didn't ship other then there was a "delay" so I decided to cancel my order and get a refund they emailed me back saying sometimes you can't get an order canceled but she will try. That was a month ago. No refund and no camunication after that. I'm never shopping here again. Poor customer service poor, service all together.

Shipping took forever, and everything runs about two or three sizes too small. I'm 5'-4" and 175lbs, I AM NOT A SIZE 4X! But that is what this site would like you to believe.

Fantastic!
December 1, 2016

I've ordered from zulily multiple times over the last few months and have had nothing but great experiences. I ordered these maternity jeans that ended up having a tear in the band. When I related that to customer service, I received a full refund and a $15 store credit. In another order two of the items I received were not the quality that the picture showed. Once again, zulily credited the full amount of both items back to me within a day of me talking to them. Every other item I've received from them has been good quality, some amazing, and I will definitely be ordering from them again!

I work for stores as secret shopper and I am 100% objective. The quality is not good at Zulily.

One item with lace was all shredded at bottom with strings hanging down. 2nd item was sized 2 sizes two small. XL was a medium. Arms were very tight. I wore another tunic once and it did not hold up. Did not even wash it. It started to unravel.

The presentation is nice on site, but does not hold up. I wish I had seen these reviews before ordering.

Never again!
November 27, 2016

Early in October I ordered 5 items. Two of the items were listed as delayed shipping items, with estimated ship time of 3 weeks, so I was prepared to be patient. My Pay Pal account was charged for the full amount on the order date (not on the ship date, like many reputable companies do). The three "quick" ship items arrived in 2-3 weeks (not exactly speedy, but tolerable). At the approximate shipping date I got an email saying there was a further delay for my other items. Early November I got an email saying my order had shipped (with a tracking number). When I tried tracking the package, a few days later, there was no info. Finally, on 11/8th there was some info: it said a label "has been created on 11/10..." HUH? The questionable tracking continues... Still no sign of my (remaining) order (as of 11/26). Oh, yes... The slippers that came in the first part of the order are coming apart at the seams already. Did I mention there are no returns? Don't fall for the lovely pictures and "great deals" on this site. I feel very disappointed and, frankly, scammed.

Love, love, love zulily!
November 27, 2016

My self and my sister-in-law shop on the site daily and have been using it for the last 3 years. Almost all of my Christmas presents this year were bought off Zulily. I did shop ahead of time because I do know that packages are often a little slow to arrive, however they are exactly what I'm looking for! I am always a little nervous about buying clothes online but everything else is amazing, and anytime I've had any packages that I felt like we're taking too long to arrive I had excellent customer service and receive my package Within the Zulily had. Set with me originally or I was compensated with site credits.

Have been buying from Zulily for about three years. No complaints. Some shipments have been slow to arrive but always get what was ordered and it fits every time!
