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.

This is not the site if you are ordering for a special occasion or if you need your items within the normal two week shipping time. I ordered six tunics the first week of November and as of now I have received one, three weeks after the order I received an e-mail that two were not available and I guess the others are in La-La land!'

I ordered a shirt and it came and was just a little different from the picture, they refunded my money PLUS gave me a $10 credit AND let me keep the shirt that was sent! AWESOME Customer Service!

Not sure why I keep torturing myself with this site... had an order that never shipped for over 8 months. Finally got a refund. Had another order they just straight up canceled themselves. My last order still hasn't shipped. I have had 1 good experience and about 5 bad.

BEWARE: What a mess of a company from start to finish!

Took an outrageous amount of time to receive items.

Order was wrong. Ordered a set of 12 only to receive 1 item.

From start to finish has been a huge hassle.

Was told I would receive a refund as they have no way of getting items sent to me in time for Christmas party and I have yet to receive email of refund.

Sales lady that I complained to said "we are trying to get better"

NO STAR
December 10, 2015

Dont bother with this company. Ordered on Nov 17. Tracking said OnTrac ( who the hell are they?) Delivered to my house on Dec 7. Nope! If they did it wasnt MY house. Was on hold for 2 hours with that company to find out about my order and finally gave up with out speaking to a person. Sent an email 0 response. Emailed zulily and got a response that they refunded my money minus the shipping. What the F***. So I got to pay shipping for something I never got. What a joke. DO NOT shop on this site. U will be very disappointed. This was my first and last time. No repeat business from me!

Fraudulent charges
December 10, 2015

After ordering and receiving 2 prs of boots which were very nice and a good price, I began getting emails indicating that I had bought several expensive items and they were charged to my credit card. 12 items in the course of an hour. When Zulily's office opened in the morning I called and closed my account and reported the fraudulent purchases. Customer service was accommodating and we will see how fast these charges are reversed (they said 3-5 days) I won't be ordering from them again because I don't need the worry and hassle of an insecure site or incompetent record keeping. Too bad because I would have shopped them.

I have placed three orders with Zulily all between three and four weeks ago. As of today, I have received only two items. The total number of items that I purchased was 12. I will be lucky to receive everything in time for Christmas. In addition, the quality of the two items that I have received was disappointing. As soon as I receive everything, assuming that I will, I am never ordering from this company again. I don't know how they stay in business. Believe me, I have told my friends not to bother.

UPDATE: correction; I ordered 16 items (not 12) in three separate orders. I wrote the above review 4-5 days ago and I STILL have not received any more items! If I could give this business negative stars, I would.

I have been a Zulily customer for almost 4 years already and I can say, that they do not have reviews for their products on their website for a reason. Most of the time the size charts are absolutely misleading, and the combination with the "no returns" policy makes it a total lottery to buy clothes from them. The pictures are awesome (more photos would help for sure), but the colors are not always reflecting the actual colors of the product. I bought an orange shirt for my son, which turned out to be pink? The quality is not very good as well.

For all this time though I learned which are the brands worth buying - Fashion One, Aster, Vitamins Baby and a few more and I am buying only when these products are on sale. Most of the toys are pretty cheap, terrible quality, but if you stick to Alex, Step 2, Disney and other popular brands you will be fine. Look for prices elsewhere before you buy though, very often you can find the same products much cheaper in Kohl's, Walmart, Target or even ToysRUs.

So overall I like zulily, but I would recommend more pictures, more accurate sizing and probably product reviews by real customers.

So first about a year ago, I made a large order of girls shoes, most of which were poor quality. I thought I would try them again and ordered some women's clothing looking for unique pieces, but I think I would have done better going to a flea market-thin material which does not look like it hold up more than a couple of wears/washes. The only item that appears adequate is a vera bradley puse ordered, but i could have gotten it for the same price on their website, so definitely done with site. Poor quality goods, particularly the new or unknown brands.

Do not recommend
December 8, 2015

Don't usually post reviews but. I ordered two items from Zulily. Both items came and did not at all match the picture online. The boots were a totally a different color and the items appeared VERY cheaply made. Because the company knew it was wrong, they refunded my items. Only giving me store credit- why would I want to do business with this site again? Very upset... Would not recommend using Zulily.

Couldn't Be Happier!
December 8, 2015

I've ordered from this company several times this Christmas season (like eight times) and have gotten all orders when promised. They've been just as advertised and each invoice was easily tracked. Their prices can be much lower than other stores such as Kohl's, Sears and even Target. Love their selection and customer service!

Poor Delivery Service
December 7, 2015

I ordered 2 items a month ago, and still have not received them. I only requested standard delivery, but when I do that with Amazon or anyone else that I order online from, it doesn't take a month to get my shipment to me. I will never order from Zulily again because of the delivery, and hopefully at some point I will get my shipment in the mail.

Best customer service
December 7, 2015

While shipping may take a while, which is true, I had a great experience when a product was faulty. They respond to emails instantaneously, and resolved the issue asap. Very impressed.

My wife ordered 3 items (jeans, shirt, and cardigan) for our daughter. Yes, 2 of them took a while to get to us, but we knew that was a possibility. When we got the items, we liked the shirt and loved the jeans. The cardigan was very nice, it however, was the wrong size (we ordered a 5/6 and got a 6X). I messaged them via my wife's FB account with the issue. They responded right away. They also reordered the item immediately and told us to keep/donate the original one ($30 value... granted we got it on sale)! I've never been this happy with the customer support from any other retailer! We definitely would recommend Zulily!

Bate and Switch
December 4, 2015

Clothing items are very cheap. The poorest quality. Zulily provided the worst on-line shopping experience ever. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SCAM OF A COMPANY. I WAITED FOUR (4) WEEKS FOR MY CLOTHING ITEMS. Only to discover, I could have purchased these items at the $10 store. Zulily has taught me to always read the reviews before purchasing on-line. One (1) Star is an over statement.

I could not be more disappointed. I ordered a 3 piece quilt set for $69. The quality was so poor! It's quality was that of a $10 K-Mart quilt. I will NEVER order anything from them again.
