Things are usually a really good deal and are very nice quality. They are always as pictured and just as described. So far shipping has always been free for me. I have ordered really large items that needed to be returned that I thought would be a problem, but wasn't that big of a deal. For example, I ordered an 8 X 10 rug for my family room. It was so beautiful and just like the picture, but just didn't work in my room. I went on-line, and they helped me with the return even printed the shipping label. It was surprisingly cheap. Only $18 to ship it back. I thought it would be much more since the thing was so big and bulky. They told me where to drop it off. I think there may have been an little more expensive option to have it picked up at my house. I have ordered quite a few large home items from them and have been really happy with them.

Shipping is always free. You can return to the store. If you return to the store, any associate will re-order if the sizing was not correct and the shipping is still free! Items are always as they are pictured. They never give you a hassle and the customer service is terrific!

Prices are always good. Returns are easy. Lets face it, there is a Walmart on every corner, so returns are easy. Almost everything can be returned to the store.

I made my first purchase with Zulily. Not very happy and probably won't order from them again. I was ordering a shirt by Lbisse for my sister. Before ordering I pulled up the sizing chart for the actual item that I was ordering. I carefully measured her a few times to make sure that I got it right. The chart indicated that I should order her a size x-small and there was no mention that the item ran large or small. I was also thinking of ordering the same item in a different color for myself. The sizing chart said that I should order a size large for myself. I decided to hold off on ordering for myself to see how her order went. When the order finally came in for my sister who ordered the x-small it was enormous. Not just a size or two off, but at least 4 sizes off. I tried it on, remember the chart indicated that I should order a large and this was an x- small. The x-small was still too big for me even though the size chart indicated that I should order a large. So this item was at least 4 sizes off of what the sizing chart indicated. If I had actually ordered the large I would have been stuck with some giant mumu looking thing that I could not wear and according to their return policy, could also not return. I ended up keeping the x-small for myself. I have a sewing machine and figured I could take it in a bit in the waist. The shirt was pretty, but so far off in size. Shipping is another thing I take issue with. So when ordering I did notice that shipping does take quite long. They say that is so that they can consolidate shipping to get a cheaper price. That is just crap! Their shipping for just the one item was $5.95! That is not cheap at all. That is about the same as other stores that I order from charge. I took the item to the post office to see how much it would be to ship it all the way across the country (I live on the east coast). They told me it would be $1.60 and it would arrive in 3-4 days. Not the 21-24 days that Zulily takes to ship. As for the quality of the item, it was OK for the price of the item. Fabric was 95% polyester and 5% spandex, not a particularly expensive blend. However, their description said it was 65% off. There is no way that shirt would ever have been worth over $65! I will say that the color was exactly as the website showed it, but it did have a bad smell. I am hoping that it comes out in the wash. If you asked me if I would order from Zulily again, I would say most definitely not. If their sizing is that far off on other items, who know what I will get stuck with.

BTW I did notice an awful lot of items from Zulilly showing up on eBay for cheaper than Zulilly has them. You can return on ebay and most of the items offer free shipping or $1.99 shipping. Either they are selling those items cheaper on eBay or there are thousands of people trying to unload the Zulilly crap they are stuck with!

Their customer service and returns is a nightmare! It's worth it to pay a little more elsewhere....
