Zulily

The unusually low rating for Zulily must be another case of "you get what you pay for" and "people who don't know how to internet"

Zulily itself is a giant dropshipping site. They use a mix of limited time flash sales and the harder to navigate permanent online bazaar of stuff (while supplies last) to sell wares.

You will often have to wait week several weeks until Zulily receives enough orders ship yours to you.

I have literally spent hours scouring their site using their user unfriendly "search" function to find amazingly discounted and very cute children's clothing. If you don't mind digging or checking back often you can score great deals.

Zulily started out as a mom and kid's site but has expanded. There are some really random finds if you care to look.

The prices and quality/brands of good is generally very good as long as you don't mind indefinite shipping waits. If you need something right away, this isn't for you.

One good experience followed by three nightmare experiences. Items not received, customer service was rude, then they shipped to the wrong address. Cheap quality, off sizes. Things sure look nice on their website but beware, what you receive is not as it appears. Returned items still not credited to my account after 60 days.

Buyer beware, shop very carefully.
It's a major gamble shopping on this site. Received completely incorrect items on a few occasions (2 pairs of earring were completely the wrong color/material from what was listed online). Inconsistent sizing, inconsistent quality at times (several items were inconsistent with size charts). Shipping can be slow, orders can be cancelled or items unavailable even after being charged. Nonexistent refund policy, expect to pay shipping twice, even if it's the merchant error. Minimally helpful customer service at times. Prices seem higher for most items, deals not as good as they used to be (perhaps post QVC merge). Many positive reviews seem suspiciously similar in wording and pour out all at once (or around same/similar dates).

Last year I pretty much did all my Christmas shopping on Zulily. This year, probably not. I'm so confused as to why a shopping site that was started for moms and kids has turned into a place where I am shocked at the items using the "F" and "S" words on items for sale. I'm so disappointed. So, my idea of what makes up a great place to shop is no longer fulfilled with Zulily. It had a wholesome appeal that first attracted me. Not any more! Get rid of the items with bad words and go back to your beginnings. Somewhere along the way to popularity, someone got greedy and thought they would add another group of shoppers. Fix this or i will be ordering less and less. I did call in to CR not too long ago about this but it seems no one really listened. Amazon will probably take your place.

Ordered capri pants. XL. They are medium.
The T shirt is such poor quality cotton blend you can see through it.
Earrings, hammered silver. The stars on on the wires backwards.
AND. I live in Canada and can't find a way to return these things.
Won't order from Zulily online again.

My first few orders from Zulily were high quality and shipped within a reasonable time period (less than a month). Since then, every order has had a major problem -- the wrong item was shipped, deliveries were delayed for months, expensive merchandise was of poor quality (think Forever 21) or merchandise arrived damaged/broken. I have received store credit for some of the items, but no longer want to shop there and would like refunds on my most recent delivery.
