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.

I have ordered quite a few things for Christmas through Zulily this year and have been very pleased with the quality and prices. The only problem I've had is the shipping times. It does take a long time for some items to ship so you can't order anything if you need it soon. Some things have arrived in a week or less, some I'm still waiting for and its 12/21/15. As far as quality, the items are all very well made and true to size. Unlike some other sites I have dealt with this year, you can easily check what your item status and location is at any time. They cancelled 2 of my items because they felt they didn't stand up to their quality standards once they arrived at Zulily and gave me store credit in addition to refunding the cost to make it up to me. So order early and know that when the items arrive they will be worth the wait
My complaint is the same as the the majority of complaints here. SLOW SHIPPING! If you are ordering a gift then you better order 6 weeks ahead if that gift needs to be there for a specific date. I ordered a Xmas gift on Nov. 26 and just got a message saying delivery date is Dec. 26th! I have ordered from this company twice and slow shipping seems to be a problem each time. I will be ordering from another company from now on. Sorry Zulilly but you really need to step up your shipping times!
I ordered 4 items from here: a fuchsia circle skirt, a pair of denim-look leggings, a trendy crystal necklace, and a deodorant cream.
Shipping was incredibly slow - more than 3 weeks! - so much so that I figured I had been scammed and would never see my items.
The quality of all but the deodorant cream was appalling: skirt sizing was at least 2 sizes off, the leggings were saggy and covered in untrimmed threads, and the "crystal" necklace was actually sparkly black plastic sloppily hot glued into a metal tube.
Customer service initially offered me credit for a future order. Um, NO. Never again.
They did eventually credit me for the cost of the items without having to return them, but overall I am not impressed.
In my opinion there is no excuse for an order to take so long to ship! I ordered a few items on Dec. 3 and one item, a shirt, won't be shipping until Dec. 27th. My shipped items can't be tracked! I click the tracking number and FedEx says it can't be found. I have ordered from other sites SINCE Dec. 3 and not only have they been shipped but they have been received and 1 of those orders came from China! No excuse. For those that gave a 4 or 5 star, I hope you love working for this company because those are the only people who would give such a good rating.
I have place an order 10 days ago and I have no info! I have sent few emails just to ask what happened and if I can have it for Christmas... Not even a reply!
I buy from this site ALOT! We have a large family and the quality and savings are great! It's a bummer you can't return things if they don't fit, but their customer service is FABULOUS!
Make sure you look at size charts, as many of the sizes run small for adults.
You never know when you order when you will receive your items, so plan accordingly. They are doing a much better job trying to keep you informed of delivery date.
Overall I recommend this site without any reserve.
I placed an order on November 28, nice and early for Christmas. My plan was to put the shirts in a parcel and mall to family in England. It's December 19th and they still haven't replied. I emailed a complaint and their reply was pathetic, no apologies just excuses. Won't be using again.
I placed an order for two tshirts and one necklace in November for guaranteed arrival by Christmas. This was my first time buying from the site and will definitely be my last! I just got an email today that one of my items won't arrive by Christmas and the other item hasn't even shipped! I doubt it will arrive by Christmas which leaves me scrambling to find another gift. Don't waste your money on a poorly run site.
I decided to try Zulily for the first time about a month ago. I ordered 2 items that said they would arrive by Christmas (these items were ordered at the same time and were coming from the same vendor). Well I found out late this week that one of the items would not make it until sometime after Christmas (since no one could give me even an approximate date) so I had to cancel it. The other item has been "in the mail" for over a week and today, the day it is supposed to arrive" the delivery date is suddenly changed to Tuesday. I suppose if you don't care when your items arrive they might be fine to deal with. I guess its is on me as well, since I didn't really research them that much to find out all they are is a cheap knock off of Amazon. Next time I will pay the extra $$ and purchase through Amazon. Waste of time!
The add said Muk Luks. The boots hava a small sticker on the bottom thst says Muk luks. MADE IN CHINA. I orders a full size larger than usual. They are hard to get on an feel like the top of the foot area is made of cardboard. They are ok once I pry them onto my feet. I will. Wear them but I expect they won't last long. Buyer beware. You get what you pay for. But this was false advertising.
Ordered 7 t-shirts on November 30th. Several days later get notification of expected shipment on December 19th. 5 have now shipped with delivery expected by end of day Dec 23. The other 2 have just been released to shipping with no expected date. MAYBE they'll make it before Christmas.
Also on November 30th, I ordered 4 T-shirts from competitor CafePress - received them 8 days later.
IF you need t-shirts for NEXT christmas 2017 -- ORDER NOW -- Ridiculous...
Bad quality items waist of money! Some items was ready to be trashed after washing one time. Other items too small or too large. Was charged for items i canceled days before the charges take place... deliver takes forever...
Ordered a pair of heels on Zulily, came with in about five days, which j think isn't bad for turn around time. Unfortunately the shoes didn't fit, my own mistake for ordering on the small side, so I asked about returns/exchanges. Since the larger size was not available for me, they issued a credit to my Zulily account in the amount of the item, and then told me to just donate the shoes for a Christmas drive. I just thought that was so kind of them. I will definetly shop here again. We need more companies in the world like this!
Your product advertisement was not what I received. It read sterling silver and what I received was a cheap pair of metal earrings along with a very tarnished necklace. What a SHAME!
Shipping is way too slow (almost a month since I ordered) with poor tracking (no shipping data message). I will not order again.
Well I ordered a couple jackets off zulily for an incredibly low price after seeing their ad on another site. It seemed too good to be true so immediately afterward I went around the web looking at reviews and was dismayed almost to tears to see the majority negative. People complaining of slow delivery, poor service, low quality products, wrong product delivered, clothing not true to size etc. I was really scared, but then again, I had spent so little money that I decided that I would just take what I get and avoid these 'too cheap to be true' sites from now on.
Boy was I in for a surprise. The site promised delivery before Christmas, but after reading reviews I expected to get my things way after or maybe never. Nope. My things were shipped by the 12th Dec and showed up today, 15th Dec, just about 2 and a half weeks after purchase. They were packaged very neatly and carefully in a sturdy box. So now I was like, 'ok delivery was on time, packaging was great but I guess the jackets will be really cheap and flimsy looking'. Wrong again. The jackets look even better than the photos. They look like they cost a ton more than what I paid. They're nicely lined, heavy and warm and fit great (I ordered one for me and one for my mom and ordered 1 size up for my mom and 2 sizes up for myself). Mine is even a little bit big but nothing that can't be adjusted. Needless to say I'm very pleased to have gotten such a great deal. When I say I paid next to nothing for these jackets I mean literally next to nothing. I guess, based on the majority of reviews, with zulily it's hit or miss. I'm glad to have scored a hit on my first experience. I will be using them again. Only taking off one star for no returns offered and no reviews on site.
I ordered a heather gray long sleeve t-shirt with lace sleeves. I received a ripped torn and tapped bag with a shirt that was not an xl as I ordered. This shirt would not fit my 9 year old granddaughter. The envelope had Chinese writing on it and a return address of PO Box ******* Staten Island NY *******-0490. UPS tracking #evs. I will be returning this back to ZULILY's corporate headquarters: 2200 1st Avenue South, Seattle WA ******* for a full refund!
I CAUTION OTHERS TO BEWARE OF THIS SITE. The Seattle WA BBB will be notified as well!
They are right on charging your credit card but not at sending you what you purchased! Do not buy from this company! I should of read the reviews first. This company needs a lawsuit to return the money to all that they took from!
They promise delivery by Christmas and then tell me that they won't be delivering until new years! The customer service refuses to give consolation for their lies. This is just a fascist Chinese company with American employees.
I placed an order on 11/25/15, my credit card was charged that very day. As of 12/14/15, I have not received the items ordered and when I contacted zulily (called twice), customer service cannot provide any information as to when I will receive the items either.
Answer: Zulily has awesome customer service! I have nothing bad to say about them! Definitely worth ordering from them... I have been happy every time (& I use it a lot!)
Answer: I have never ordered shoes from them but I agree that they likely vary according to brand. Contrary to other comments (that I am very suspicious of...) I have never waited a long time and the quality has always been as shown. There are so many rip-off sites out there and I suspect some hire people to post phony negative reviews on the 'good' sites. I do not recommend searching for cheaper products - you'll end up on a bogus, cheap site. I now research every site name and sift through comments - its exhausting but has saved me from spending money on sites that were not good.
Answer: Got money to burn? Order from Zulily. There isn't enough room on the Internet to list all the reasons you should NOT order from them!
Answer: Nope... no returns accept and good luck on getting a refund. Stay away from this site.
Answer: 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!
Answer: Wrong size, no return policy. Beware don't order from them
Answer: Sorry I don't know the answer, but it could explain why everything is so cheap
Answer: Yes, it may take that long, but they are up front about that on the item description page. I have never had a problem with them.
Answer: Let me just put this out there. The people who bought things from Zulily (and are unhappy with their purchases), probably didn't research the brand before they bought it. Think of Zulily like Marshalls or TJMaxx. That's what Zulily is, in online form. I just bought a hoodie from them, and researched the brand before I bought it. The particular hoodie was being discontinued, so they were selling it very cheaply. I bought it, and it is the real deal, originally $89. So research the brand. And don't expect your purchase quickly. They wait until they have enough orders to bulk purchase (another reason why their prices are low), before they buy. So it'll be a few weeks before you get it. I hope this helps.
Answer: If you bought them from Zulily, you might see about making your granddaughters feet smaller. I'm sure that's easier than dealing with Zulily.
