I loved Zulily when I discovered it a few years ago. The variety was superb, the prices reasonable, and customers didn't even have to return unsatisfactory items. Maybe people took advantage, but now returns are required and must be paid for at too high a cost. Sizes of clothing and shoes simply can't be counted on. The size charts can lead you astray and then you have to pay to return the item. I'm breaking myself of my Zulily addiction.
This has definitely become my go-to place to shop for a majority of the things I like for myself as well as gifts for family and friends. If you are okay with waiting for 4-5 weeks (without rocket shipping) and want amazing deals then Zulily is it. Shipping cost is the same no matter how little/much you buy so just be sure to place an order for more than just 1 item.
This site is brutally slow to deliver. I have ordered with a few items and it takes months! The deals are not that great, you cans find the same item on other sites and get your stuff delivered in half the time. Absolutely not worth the hassle or wait. I also bought clothing items and the sizing was so off ( I am an average 12) that my gf that is a size 5 could not fit them. There was no option to return. A total rip off.
I was very worried about ordering with Zulily after looking at all the negative reviews (I had already placed my order before reading them). Therefore I was pleasantly surprised when the garments arrived in pristine condition, well-packed and good quality. It is true that it takes longer than most online stores (it took just under one month to arrive) but then the site mentions why it takes so long to arrive (as they have to source the items from the clothing companies and then redistribute).
One tip (which is relevant to all online shopping) is to check the material of the garment before you purchase it. If you order cotton/silk/linen they are usually good quality. Polyester is often horrible, even if the item looks nice from a distance. From looking at the site over the past month it appears that about 70% of the companies they deal with manufacture polyester garments, so simply avoid those companies.
I have only been ordering from Zulily for the past few months, but I love it. They do take a little long to ship, but it's not an intolerable length of time. They do have to wait for the items to come from the companies who are selling on their site. Also, I don't understand all the bad reviews about returns. Two days ago, I received a candle that was broken during shipping. I emailed Zulily and they replied promptly that they would refund my money. No need to return. And then again yesterday, I received a pair of slippers that were men's not women's. Once again, they promptly replied, are refunding my money and I do not have to return them. They also gave me a 10.00 credit. These two problems I've had were an anomaly. Usually, everything is perfect.
I was just putting together an order of several linen dresses (made in Italy, according to the site). Then I decided to check out the reviews. Now, I will be reconsidering this order. I don't know if the Italian linen line is any better than other items, but I don't think I will take a chance. Sorry that you all have had such negative experiences. Thank goodness for reviewers!
The worse customer service ever!
Then, you pay for products in advance, and after a month of waiting they send you an email saying this product is no longer available!? What the heck does that mean? What are you, an airline company? We pay for something, we expect it to be delivered within a reasonable time! So frustrating to see companies like this ripping off customers!
Yes, I understand we are waiting a long time for some garments because of the 'events' or bulk buying... maybe that would be understandable IF we were waiting for quality garments to arrive. I ordered 4 dresses about a month ago and two have arrived... both are junk, much cheaper than what is shown in the photos. The sewing is so bad on the second garment that it is inexcusable business practice. I almost never write a review, but feel the need to warn others to avoid falling into the Zulily trap... big-time marketers who don't come through with the product. It is so not fun to be excited about receiving an item and to wait and wait for it to arrive and then be so disappointed. What a shame. Avoid Zulily!
After calling and cancelling a online order, I get a phone call from my credit card company saying that someone has gotten my numbers and has used it to make several online purchases 3 day's later! Nothing like be obvious and stupid. When I called zulily all I got was an apology, and an "I'll submit your suspicions over to the correct department". I guess I just started saving money instead on spending it. Goodbye zulily account.
Came across a wonderful place to buy for every member of your family. Clothing, footwear and kitchen products; bedding; novelty items you can't get anywhere else. Lots of deals and good quality on the clothes. Have been very happy with everything. Receive my items in a timely manner. I have never had a problem with Zulily.
Love Zulily and it is very addictive. Everyone needs to check out Zulily.
I've ordered several toys and 3 dolls from Zulily. The quality is not great, and you have no way of knowing this before you order, and no way to remedy the problem as you can't return products. Shipping takes a minimum over two weeks on anything I've ordered. I ordered a remote control truck for my grandson, and if it's not broken yet, I'll be amazed, as it was very flimsy. I ordered 3 of the cutest plush dolls, didn't check the size of them, and when they arrived, they are only about 6 inches big and not that plush at all, but again, I can't return them. I'm done with Zulily.
I ordered a top. Never saw any obvious notice during the ordering process about NO RETURNS. The top was too large, fabric was cheap and the overall item not as described. If you haven't tried it on, haven't seen the fabric in person or have any doubt, do not order. This is a scam to keep your money instead of a reputable company trying to make long term customers.
I ordered shoes that have obviously been worn before. Quite dirty on the bottom-large ick factor.
I've sent a complaint and not heard back.
Ordered a darling play set from company I like - it was supposed to be quick shipping, that was 3 weeks ago and has not shipped out yet. And the "great" price was cheaper with free shipping on the vendors site. My fault for not double checking but disappointing. Was a birthday gift for granddaughter ‘s party this weekend.
I very careful about what I purchase from your site. I've been burned by items that were poor quality. I buy a lot of clothing for my granddaughter, home stuff and shoes. I always make sure it's a brand that I am familiar with. I also feel that when an item is returned your customers deserve a credit on whatever card they used.
Been ordering for years but, never again. I am tired of the wait time, quality of clothes, being charged immediately and told A false shipping date, ie will ship in 10-15 days, etc. When they know it is coming from China ( I didn't know this) and it will be over 30 days. Clothes not the same quality as 2 or 3 yrs ago.
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!
Extremely poor quality of item. Ordered an XL. Which I assumed would be a smaller size but I didn't think it would be extremely small... so small in fact that the sleeves are so little that even a size 8 girl would have trouble fitting in this. Won't bother returning, paying the postage AND the custom charges. Funny thing is, they do not mention anywhere (that I could find) that the products come from China! I'm not sure why I thought it was an American company. DO NOT purchase here... buy locally. Good lesson learned.
You place an order, then they order your item from other places, other COUNTRIES! Sizes are always off even with their "size charts". They also don't give refunds most of the time. They will if item is defective. Going by the size charts, your clothes will usually be too big! I usually order my regular size but it depends on the country. Their charts don't help. They will say a size 10, for instance, is a 42 inch bust. NO WAY! Be very careful. They do have nice sales on jewelry sometimes and that merchandise is nice! Buyer beware!
I ordered a handful of cute things for my son and a friends daughter. I am glad that I didn't need these things by a set time! It has been over a month and they are still not here! I get that I got free shipping, thank God, but this is ridiculous! I keep checking the site to see when they are supposed to arrive and the date is constantly changing! I will NEVER order from them again... I'll be sticking with Amazon Prime!
Beware! Zulily sells the cutest things at unbelievable prices, but when 2 chairs arrived over one month after I ordered them and were not the expected color from online, they would not take them back or give any sort of credit! They claimed the vendor said it was a final purchase. Better be VERY sure that any purchase is what you want it to be without seeing it or speaking to anyone before you buy it. Not worth the chance or the lost money in time and shipping and unusable chairs!
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.
