First off, I love Zulilly. Or maybe the idea of Zulilly because who doesn't like saving money? But I'm pretty much done shopping here. Why?
The best deals seem to be AMAZING until I've received them and they weren't. A beautiful, flowy jersey tunic for $14? Why, of course! Checked the size chart, ordered my usual Large and received a beautiful, flowy jersey tunic big enough to cover me, my 2 daughters and maybe the German Shepherd! Another item, cute short dress with a lovely print, scoop neck... in a fabric that feels like cheap kid's pajamas.
My new rule is: Do I know the brand? If it's Sketchers or Warners, Fossil or Reebok, I'll order. I've seen it and touched it and maybe tried it on and KNOW what I'm getting and how great the deal is. If there's no brand indicated or it's an unknown/generic/knock-off, it's not worth taking the chance. I've donated about 50% of my orders because the item didn't fit or was an off color or was just disappointing.
The other 50% were GREAT! Household goods, some shoes and jewelry and NYDJ pants have made me very happy. But now I know better than to expect a pleasant surprise.
