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 love Zulily for the variety of products they offer. I don't like that returns are not free shipping. Also pajama sizing is not comparable to U.S. sizing. I tend not to buy clothes because sizing problems and not free shipping on returns and no returns on pajamas. You really need to know your brands for clothing sizing.
Look at shipping times for all items. Some items come from over seas and take a long time.
My wife bought a coat. When it arrived the sizing was smaller than most other stores. When we called for a return label it was never sent for us to print out. Then after three days trying to get something done, we were told to return the coat and call them with a return number. When we called back with the tracking number, we were told that their shipping department would not accept the package without a return label.
Don't buy from these people. They get your money and refuse to help you in any way
I have been ordering from Zulily for about 3 years now. I love the diversity of the "shops" each day. I also generally find the prices to be awesome & almost always am pleased with the quality of the items I have ordered. The only thing I don't like is how long it takes some items to be delivered sometimes. I am happy they are accepting returns now, however, the return cost is expensive, which ends up deterring the return anyway, so It's kind of a moot point!
I love the variety of products. They have something different every day. The only thing I don't like is that you only have a few days to order. If I don't have the money at that time then it might be a while before it's back on there.
I love love this company. Customer service is amazing, friendly helpful and knowledgeable. I've ordered from other places NEVER AGAIN. I finally found my on line shopping home.
I purchased a well-known, brand of shoes from Zulilly. I received a knock-off brand. Chinese sizing and fake leather. When, I called to return them, I was told I had to have my label emailed to me and printed. That was the only way they would accept the return. I am a, dis-abled, senior citizen. Without a printer! So, it looks like I am stuck, with these mis-marked, plastic, shoes from China. I cant wear them they are tiny and I even sized up when ordering. Never Again!
For one thing, it takes forever to receive what you buy, shipping takes way too long. It is expensive to return an item. If you purchase an item on the Zulily credit card using the three or four easy payments and then return that item, your card keeps getting charged until the item is actually received by Zulily. So, if your card was charged two times, you will only get a store credit for the balance. What was charged to your card is not refunded or credited on your credit card or as a store credit. And, if you don't have access to a printer, customer service will not send a return label to you by regular mail. Then your stuck!
The addiction is real. I find myself on the hunt for unique and affordable items often. I love shopping Zulily.
I'm retired now and I've found a new hobby in viewing the many different types of clothes and articles that are offered. I never had done much shopping online, but, I now find it very convenient! There have been some things that I've bought and haven't liked, but, overall my experiences have been great!
I have purchased some really great items through Zulily at excellent prices. While not everything is a great buy, Customer Service does an amazing job working with you to ensure you're a satisfied customer!
This website can be your one stop website for items. Between clothes, home and crafts it is the place to go!
The reason everything "appears" like a good deal is because most, if not all items are coming directly from China. Sizing is typically very small without any consistency. Shipping is high and if a return is involved, shipping is not refundable and Zulily only gives store credit toward a future purchase. LET THE BUYER BEWARE!
Poor quality, returns as expensive as purchase. Great way to discourage returns.
I will never shop Zulily again.
Zulily has such unique things and great prices. I've purchased many things for myself and others on the site. Have I been thrilled with everything? No, but mostly I've been pleased. I especially like the baby/children's clothing. I'm glad that Zulily is now allowing returns. I also appreciate that when you buy something on the weekend, you then have free shipping the rest of weekend. I do wish they offered free shipping days from time to time. Also, you need to know that usually you won't receive your items for a few weeks. However, they are upfront about this so it hasn't been a problem for me.
I always find great things at Zulily, whether it's clothes, shoes, things for my home, kitchen and even for my classroom!
I've used Zulily for a number of years now. I have had some big wins but also some big losses. I find incredible deals on some of my long-trusted and much-needed brands like Vionic and Dansko. However, the majority of the items I've purchased from lesser-known brands have been inconsistent and poor quality. In the past month or so, there have also been issues with filling my orders. Two weeks ago, they sent the wrong combo set. I had ordered a Tervis cup with the handle. I was charged the full price and was sent the proper cup but without the handle. Customer service was quick to refund the whole cost & I was able to keep the cup they had sent. Then on the 25th, I emailed about an order that my account says was delivered on the 17th but has not arrived. The response was to wait longer because it may still be on the way to me?! This is not the case. The status says "delivered" not "shipped." Upon further investigation, I find that one of the two boxes did arrive on the 17th but even that did not contain all the items my account says that it did?! I've contacted customer service several times over the years, but this is the first time they didn't take remedy the issue right away. I'm to the point now where I will continue to buy my few trusted brands from Zulily, but no more browsing for me. My budget is much too tight these days to take these kinds of risks.
In general I enjoy shopping with Zulily. I have found that some items (apparel) are not of a very good quality. All of the household items I have purchased have been good quality and an excellent price compared to brick and mortar.
I really wish that you would have more items available in petite. Your petite selections are very limited.
While Zulily is a great and fun place to shop, they really need to disclose where their items come from... like China! While most if the items are a true fine, the shipping and return policy can get expensive. There can be a long wait for items but is usually worth it. Sizing for clothes are all over the place, same for shoes. Customer service is great.
Overall, it is a fun and interesting place to shop.
I have ordered a lot from Zulily, and I'm happy to say that I'm extremely satisfied with everything that I have received from my orders! I would say if the rating goes up to 5 Stars, I want to give them 8 - 10 Stars. Everything I have received is of the highest quality. I can highly recommend the shopping experiment with Zulily!
Approving of everything,

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.
