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.

I love the bargains that Zulily brings to retail, but their shipping policies are ridiculous. The shipping costs are too high, and it takes too long to get a lot of items. Sometimes (more often that should be) things come with the wrong number or not a complete order. Sometimes I would like to order something, but by the time I spend the money on shipping, it no longer saves me money.

Never received the order. Called them up after 2.5 weeks and they couldn't explain why my order was missing. They said they would refund my purchase but I only received a portion of the refund. So in my mind they stole my money! What a crocked company!

This was my second time in attempting a purchase from Zulily and both experiences were horrid! Unlike Amazon where I've always been happy with ever purchase over the past decade.

Zulily will never see my business ever again!

I've been a member for a long time now. I did most of my christmas shopping via Zulily. Great buys. However, lately has been very spotty. I've received items broken, poorly made and very low quality. Now I reserve my shopping at Zulily with brands I am familiar with only. I do a lot of price comparison with Amazon. Another thing is the amount of time it takes to receive an item. Sometimes I really do not mind the wait and understand how Zulily wants to "check" quality before shipping to me. Unfortunately, I still wonder what measure of quality is actually acceptable because I've received items broken, bent or not in the greatest shape. Another disappointment was buying tickets to Broadway. I paid for Orchestra but when we arrive at the theater they seated us in gallery... around a group of High schoolers! I had to fight this with Zulily who eventually refunded the difference. I often doubt renewing my membership.

Lots of ups and downs
September 26, 2019

I buy a lot from Zulily and some orders are great, and some are not! Sizing is iffy, too many things take too long to ship, and prices are not as good as they used to be. They give you free shipping when things are messed up, but put a time limit on it. Takes a long time to get your money back if an item doesn't ship or can't be filled. I hope things get better, or I won't be ordering as much. Some items are not made well. They need to really screen their vendors.

I haven't ordered more see-thru clothes since my previous review. I've liked most items that have since been ordered. The ones that didn't fit, I sent back for store credit.
Zulily has unique and good items for low prices and I want to change my review to 5 stars.

It's A Mixed Bag
March 26, 2016
Previous review

I have had good and bad experiences with Zulily.

Bad:

1) Many of the clothes I ordered were NOT listed as see-through on the website and did not appear to be see-through from the pictures, but they are see-through. I am unsure what to wear under all of my see-through tops and dresses that I now own. To reiterate: this has been a common occurrence.

2) One of my items that I ordered (let's say, out of 20 items) never arrived. Instead of giving me a full refund (~$40 I think), I was only given a $10 store credit.

Good:

1) Many of the clothes I ordered are very unique and pretty

2) All of the clothes I ordered seem to be much cheaper than elsewhere and so even though I lost money on see-through items and one item that did not arrive, I still feel like, overall, I made some good purchases.

However, as you can see, Zulily is inconsistent and unreliable (and possibly dishonest for omitting information). So, I wouldn't really say it's a good business.

Take your chances.

Very inconsistent sizing
September 20, 2019

It's always fun to shop at Zulily. With that being said you never know how and if your purchase will fit.
And it seems to take forever to receive your purchase.

Great Opportunities
September 20, 2019

I love shopping Zulily. I gets so many ideas from their emails. The items I buy are 90% just what I wanted. If not, I return them if possible. I've had a few issues along the way but have always been content with the solution Zulily makes with me. (And sometimes I've learned not to buy that type of item from Zulily because it just doesn't work out!) Overall I'm very happy with shopping Zulily and recommend it to all my friends.

False advertisement
September 19, 2019

I used a coupon that was active when I checked out and after the order was processed it removed it automatically. When I contacted Zulily they did not care nor reimburse me, nor refund my order. They did not even try to fix the problem. I use to refer this site to people but no more. This is happened before to me on this site but no more that is not ok.

Not always easy to get the items you order or return something that doesn't look or fit like the product description.

A great shopping site. Always a very large, sometimes too large, selection of products for every aspect of life. Some shipping can take very long, but is usually mentioned in product description

I can always find something I need and something I want when shopping but the best part is that since they have such great prices, I can get both! I have had good experiences with the shipping also, I realize it can take longer at times so I just prepare for that.

I Really Like It, But...
September 16, 2019

The only complaint I have for Zulily it takes far too long to receive the merchandise/product. I wish you could get the merchandise/product faster without having to pay extra. I wouldn't mind paying extra if you receive the merchandise/product in a 2-3-day turnaround instead of a 7-day turnaround which is a normal delivery time for most other companies without the extra cost. Zulily would not be my choice if I needed something for a special occasion because it takes entirely too long to receive though it has great prices. If they could fix this I would have more confidence in them.

Best online shopping site!
September 13, 2019

I am simply amazed at the deals on Zuilily. Each time you log in, it is like a brand new shopping experience. The only negative is the $8.95 restocking fee they charge on returns. That's a bit steep IMO.

Try Zulily You'll Like It
September 13, 2019

Zulily is idea for me because it offers things I want or need that are lower priced then retail. They have last chances also in case you missed you favs. Now some things are returnable it will say on each item whether it is or not.If in stock ships out quickly. You get quality brand name items too.

In love!
September 11, 2019

I have been shopping at Zulily for years now. I'm in love with them. I have yet to order something that I have not loved or been happy with. I can think of one time when I ordered something that didn't fit. I contacted Zulily with my issue and instead of giving me a hard time or going back and forth, they told me to donate the item (which I did) and issued a refund. I will continue to shop there for years to come.

Zulily brings together a really eclectic collection of clothing on sale for great prices. It's hard to find a selection like this that's as easy to access. I also love how seamless it is to move from device to device with my choices. However, some of the products are cheaply made and there's no way to tell from a photo, especially for items that don't give full 360 views or close-ups. Returns are a joke; it's rarely worth it and I usually end up donating things that don't fit right or aren't what I expected. Shipping prices are high enough to offset the "sale" prices that look great when I click to buy an item, but often double when I add shipping. Between shipping and return costs, I think about buying from Zulily more than I end up doing it, sadly.
