In the past, I was a loyal shopper at zulily.com... but, I've slowed down on my shopping on the site by quite a lot. There are a few areas that I think, with improvement, would be most helpful. 1.) return shipping is too expensive; 2.) product descriptions are not robust enough; 3.) standardized sizing is nonexistent; 4.) product keyword search still needs more accuracy and inclusion; 5.) zoom feature, when it works, does not get closeup enough to inspect items carefully; and, 6.) quality of sourced products is inconsistent (damaged items, wrong color, poor quality of material, items possibly damaged in transit or left warehouse damaged and/or not working). I recently made a purchase, after not doing so because I was put off by the merchandise I had been receiving (more being donated than items I could actually use... donated because returning items is so costly), and I was disappointed in the merchandise I received once again. It's sad, because I used to experience about a 75% 'keep items for my own use' quantification. Now, it's only about a 25% 'keep for my own use.' I don't have the budget to shop like this. I'll probably still shop for household items at zulily.com, but not regularly, like I used to. An example is this photo showing that the item's color description is "Bright White", yet (shown on the right) it is obviously ivory. I have no use for an ivory top. Because return shipping is so expensive and a hassle, I am stuck, once again, with an item that I will not be keeping. A waste of money. Very frustrating.

Tip for consumers:
The customer service (zendesk) personnel are quite nice, although policy is policy, so many times there's really nothing they can do. Household items are usually pretty good. Apparel and accessories, etc. are definitely hit or miss. Be very careful to inspect the photos carefully before buying.

Products used:
I will not be using any of the items in my last order of three items, again. Money and time thrown away. Quite disappointing.

Allegedly this company suddenly shut down. Closed the site no phones answered no emails answered....
