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.

They started as a real, legitimate company a few years ago. I made purchases that were completely fine, though their turn around time was long. In the last year, I have made purchases that are just a straight rip off. In the case of shoes, they sell them as European leather with even European sizes and make them appear as comfy leather. Once delivered, they are the shoes you would find in a $5-$10 shoes manufactured in China. That's just the beginning. Cheap clothes, cheap plastics, knock offs, $99 cent store decor, etc. RUN!
This is the best online shopping I have ever used. Customer service is exceptional. I bought these cute little tea cups and put flowers I. Them for a birthday... they were a big hit!
Zulily offers not only great variety, but most importantly, the company has fantastic customer service. Hands down, this is why I keep shopping with them above all others. Do you have to wait longer for your items compared to other online shops? Yes, BUT I don't mind because it's worth it because I've found soooo many great items AND the customer service is top notch. If I had any issue with an item I've purchased, it was resolved immediately. I'm a fan of this company.
I have been a huge fan of Zulily for many years and have introduced quite a few people to this site as well due to the quantity of products available from them. However I am only going to rate them a 4. Although the quality and quantity of the majority of their items has improved over time, my real issues have to do with sizing. On several of my favorite brands including, but not limited to, Suzanne Betro, Amaryllis, and Simply Couture, the information listed on their sizing charts is so inaccurate that an XL blouse may fit like a Large and yet another blouse in XL from the same brand can fit like a 2X. There is NO continuity in sizing. And these are not the only brands where this is an issue. I have seen comments from other people regarding the sizing inaccuracy for different brands yet I have seen no improvement. However, overall Zulily's quality is decent and the prices are usually better than I would have to pay online elsewhere. If they could just work on their sizing and/or quality control to make the fit more reliable I would be a much happier buyer.
Pet Peeve: I get very frustrated when an item that is pictured for the different departments is not available to buy.
I'm always surprised by the many different things I can find on Zulily. I love telling people all the time that I got this item or that item from Zulily.
I have purchased from Zulily for years and have had no issues. There are plentiful choices regarding company's and their products. They have had a size chart for anything that I have purchased. Everything that I have purchased has been of good quality. I have purchased clothes, toys, memorabilia and accessories.
I like that they give you the choice to hold items until all are ready to ship, therefore; there is only one shipping charge at a lower rate.
I like that they give you your daily overview of what is on sale. I can view at a glance to see if there is an items or brand that interest me.
I have needed to call a few times because I have clicked the wrong button when ordering and their customer service is beyond today's standards. I actually talked with a person (a real live person) every time and that person was polite and helpful.
Thank you for the excellent site and service.
I really love all of the different types of items that are available on any given day. My only complaint would be when I order something and the item/items are for some reason cancelled due to the item not being received by Zulily and then the same item shows up in the offerings within a day or more later of course after I have already ordered something similar.
I wish I read the review before I made my purchases. They are charging me for returning my purchases. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
Zulily can be addictive, so watch out! It is SO easy to shop when you get an email every day of things you'll probably like, The sizing and quality of clothing is variable, so read the sizing charts, which are sometimes helpful, and the reviews, which give you an idea of things to avoid. I love the low-priced jewelry and home decor items, all of which are usually decent quality and as pictured. When things aren't up to my standards, I do complain and often they'll give a $5 credit to compensate.
Love to shop on Zulily. Fun and addictive. I'm glad they have a return policy now otherwise there are some goodies I couldn't take a chance on ordering.
I've found lots of great things at Zulily. Most are high quality and available at a deep discount. I've been a Zulily shopper for many years. I like that many things are returnable now, though I'm still upset they didn't allow me to return a poor-quality item recently. Shipping can be slow, but I plan ahead so that doesn't bother me much.
I'm addicted to this shop and a frequent shopper. I stick with the name brands because of quality and fit. When I've ventured outside of my comfort zone, I wasn't so lucky with quality or fit. Their customer service is wonderful but it is costly to make a return in terms of shipping.
Since discovering Zulilly, my wardrobe is fast become a total Zulilly closet. I love it. I just wish things shipped out faster! But I've never been disappointed and when I've had issues, their customer service has been outstanding.
I enjoy purchasing from Zulily since I can do it at my leisure and delivered right to my porch. I like the ready to ship items because I know they will arrive quickly. I find a lot of great buys and receive compliments on many of my purchases.
I've been shopping on Zulily for a few years and learned the hard way to check the sizing charts and be judicious with the brands. Zulily is a wonderful place to find name brands at reduced pricing and european brands, not generally available in stores. But I have a couple of rules for shopping on Zulily: 1) Know your measurement and check the sizing chart. 2) Pay attention to the fabric description and the model's measurements and size wearing if given. 3) Err on the side of caution, if you're not sure. 4) If you can't wait 3+ weeks to receive it don't order. 5) Check the reviews if available, this is a new feature on Zulily but it will save you some aggravation. Happy bargain hunting!
Always great buys and great clothes, shoes, linens, and most anything else you'd need. I do love tne fact that we can return things for credit now.
I have a broad range of products I have purchased on Zulily. Womens, mens and boys clothing, homegoods(bedding, storage bins, metal TP holder, rugs) and womens and boys shoes and I have been happy with 90 percent of it. My husband has slowed me down here in the last couple of weeks as he thinks I am spending way too much, he doesn't understand I haven't been in a walmart or target in months and I don't go to malls. There is deals to be had just watch out for overseas companies and sizes from foreign designers. Shipping can take a while depending on the product so read the dates when it tells you approximately, when the product doesn't come in they tell you and give you your money back and a store credit so unless your hanging your hat on something always keep that in the back of your head. I bet I have 75-80 things total and it only happened twice. I have also had the product damaged when I got it happen a couple of times, a rip in the shoulder of a sweater and the seam of a pair of pants had a tear. Love the shoes, pick your brand and stick with the ones you have heard of, no name shoes at cheap prices mean they are not worth wearing. I have bad feet and so spend extra to get good shoes. Muck Lucs, Ryka, etc are great shoe names you spend a little more but saves on department store prices. I live in Iowa and we don't have very many department stores, we have Kohls and Von Maur so having it delivered to my doorstep is great for me. The only thing I don't like is if you just want a different size you have to wait for the product in that color to come up again on the site and it varies so you have to have patience.
I usually buy handbags and shoes from Zulily, they gave been good buys. The only problem with Zulily is most times you wait very long for your purchases to arrive.
I have been shopping on-line with Zulily for about 10 years and have grown
Increasingly excited over the variation of items, whether it be clothes, shoes,
Home products, even furniture, and now the QVC items daily. Zulily has always
Been very fair about any item that is not to the customer's liking and does their
Best to compensate you for any item that is not to the customer's approval.
Thank you for giving us the great items and the convenience that you provide!
I started using Zulily in 2015, and I love it. I've only had to return one or two items over the years due ti ordering too small a size. And it was very easy to do. I find the sizes fit very well. Prices are great, especially sale prices. I like the jewelry too. There are times it takes a while for delivery.
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.
