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.

Returns are not worth it after they surprise you with an $8.95 charge. VERY DECEPTIVE and will never order from them again. I have spammed all adds from them.

No problems
May 2, 2019

Have been using zulily for over a year and so has my husband (buying things for me) and have not had a problem. As long as you know about returns before you purchase you'll be fine.

Too Good to Be True!
April 28, 2019

I love being able to buy and have a card that allows three payments for an item. Great products. Loved the groceries on Boxed! Great sales and prices too on everything you can imagine. Like I said, it is too good to be true, but Ive never had an issue with Zulilly. Thanks Zullity for your imagination and starting this fine product sales concept.

Couldn't be happier
April 24, 2019

I've placed several orders with Zulily for women's clothing. I had one sizing issue where using the size chart resulted in the dress being too large. Sent email just to bring it to their attention, suggesting they double check it for accuracy. Received an apology email stating they would put a credit on my account for the full amount and to gift the dress to someone it would fit. Credit received and used. Great customer service and happy with quality of all items purchased to date.

I ordered three sweaters several weeks ago and I thought they were ok priced. After ordering, I went to Amazon (not always the cheapest) and found multiple sweaters/cardigans that I could wear to the office. My Amazon sweaters arrived within the week and were all under $20. I kept wondering where my Zulilly order was and it arrived two full weeks after Amazon. One of the sweaters was the same exact sweater, packaged the same exact way as Amazon sweater and was twice as much. No bueno. I just ordered some t-shirts, so let's see how this goes.

Poor customer service
April 21, 2019

I recently bought capri leggings. They sent regular leggings... I then purchased 3 tunics... was sent all the wrong sizes but wanted to charged 8.95 to return for mistake they made. I will never purchase items from them again and will definitely let everyone know not to buy anything from them. Very dissatisfied with this company.

For years I used to love shopping on Zulily! There was always fun new things and overall I was happy with the quality. There were a few items that differed from the picture, but with the inexpensive cost of the items and their very liberal return policy it was an acceptable risk to shop.
After a time, it always seemed to be the same/similar items for sale, just branded differently so I quit the site for a while.
I just came back to try their website again and am beyond disappointed. You used to be able to make a purchase (some items sell out quick) and then get free shipping for the rest of the day. Now, apparently, there is a shipping charge for every checkout in the same day. Unacceptable.
The prices are just okay now, not great deals like they used to be.
As with all online shopping, sometimes the size you get doesn't fit and you need a size up or down, now you have to pay for returns and then pay to ship the replacement!
Unless it is a screaming deal I do not recommend shopping on Zulily.

Very bad quality
April 16, 2019

Bought Quilts from this site. It looked very pretty online so I bought couple of those quilts. I am very dissatisfied with the quality of the quilt. Material was super cheap. Quilt had printed design over it. Even print was very messy... one design printed on top of other. I will never buy anything from this site. Money wasted.It doesn't even look like quilt, it looks like some cheap cloth.

I spent hours shopping the site. Literally hours! My kids and I picked out clothing and we so excited, until I went to check out. $250 worth of merchandise and I have to pay shipping? Are you kidding? How do they compete with other online retailers? Plus, none of my items would ship for a month! What a huge waste of the better part of two days. Now I have disappointed kids. Btw, I'm going to find the clothing I need elsewhere for free and fast shipping because literally everywhere else I shop offers that. Don't waste your time with Zulily. (By the way, when I started shopping the banner ad said free shipping was available and items ship quickly, so it was totally reasonable that I would think my huge order qualified for free shipping and at least some of my items would ship quickly).

Sent wrong item. A month and a half later and numerous emails, I have been told sorry you are unhappy. No replacement. No refund. No credit. No solution. I have referred many people to Zulily and spent a lot of money over the years. Zulily historically had a strong interest in taking care of their customers but that is not the case any longer. Do NOT waste your money with them unless you are willing to risk losing your money.

Love Tunic Tops
March 29, 2019

I have bought 5 tunic tops from Zulily and love everyone of them. They have washed well and are as good or better than items I've bought at local discount stores.

Very disappointed
March 27, 2019

I bought a dress from Zulily, Sucreface. It looked like a retro dress on the picture. I am size 2, but i ordered size 4, just in case. What i received yesterday has nothing to do with the picture. First of all the dress is sooooo small that it fits my 7 year old daughter. I do not understand how can they sell things and not verify them. With their return policy, i have to keep this dress, which is totally unfair. I was deceived by the size and the look of the dress. It was the worst experience ever.

VERY IMPRESSED!
March 26, 2019

Wow! I'm over the top impressed with Zulily's customer service! I ordered a nautical themed quilt from them. I received it today and its the wrong one. I emailed them and within 15 minutes I had a response. They no longer have the 1 wanted and they are going to refund my money. They told me to keep the 1 I received and either use it or donate it!

DONT ORDER!
March 24, 2019

Zulily DOES NOT stand by its products. If you have not heard of the brand it is a Chinese Knockoff they will not stand behind. I have over 20 items from the Zenana and they lasted through one washing on delicate cycle!

I wanted to add an item to a return that I had not shipped yet. Zulily said no, I had to purchase another label. I had not sent the package. They will do anything to extract additional fees from their customers. The company matches their clothes. CHEAP

Poorly made Chinese products sold under a deliberately vague refund policy that effectively makes 90% of their products non refundable. Customer service is non existent, company is a scam, do not do business with this company.

Buyer Beware!
March 10, 2019

They absolutely suck! Their clothes are wonky... cheap and the sizes aren't right. I bought 1X leggings. And they were so small they wouldn't fit a size 10... the jewelry falls apart. And as others have said returning is expensive and that's even IF you can the item. I've gotten a couple of household items that were ok. I certainly don't recommend shopping with them at all. Im sure everything comes from China.

Know the terms
March 8, 2019

I have learned to buy nothing other than a major brand they are promoting. Even then, i may look and find the item cheaper elsewhere. Things can take several weeks to get. They may post that an item is sent and coming by UPS, but most times it is actually coming from china. Everything is poorly made and overpriced. Often i go and look on ebay for the item they list and pay. 99 rather than their 9.99. Returns are a whole other scam. You can return something for $8.99. They say that you may add 5 other things, but it has to be from a little list of items that they have selected. Of course that list is of the cheapest things that you bought. I returned stuff over a week ago. I havent heard anything back yet. They also will not refund to anything other than a store credit.
