    I ordered two leggings pants. After waiting for almost a month to get my order, they were flimsy material. I go by the size chart and they were way too big. I contacted Zulily to see if I can exchange for a smaller size, they told me my only option was to return the item and get a store credit. I spent almost 30 dollars on the items and after restocking fee plus another fee that I don’t remember because I am so upset my refund would be 8 dollars and some change. Am just going to wear them as pajama pants. Don’t waste your money and order from this place. If you have an issue with your order you are S.O.L. It’s not the 30 dollars it’s the way they treat you.

    I ordered a tunic top on June 10th and did not receive until July 21st. Very poor quality material, the seams were irregular, and it had a pink tag on it that faded on the shirt where it had been folded for so long, and the size ran small. This is the 4th or 5th product that I've been disappointed with. I've ordered jewelry, home decor, pillows... all of which have been very cheap quality. I haven't tried returning anything because they have a no return policy and I figured that if I sent something back, I'd never see my money refunded. This is the last straw. I'm deleting my Zulily account.

    Ordered two Sesame Street bags from Zulily. Originally over 20 each. They were now 5 and change. Waited many weeks to receive item. Very very cheaply made. Cannot be used as a gift or to hold a gift. Wrote/emailed Zulily due to long wait on hold on phone. Zulily replied with a shipping label. I am supposed to print along with the email trail, take it out to be shipped and oh by the way, there is a restocking fee! Have waited a long time for dollar store quality, and an involved obstacle course trying to return anything! Poor quality and poor service and response.

    I am new to this site but I am extremely tired of being misled intentionally by companies online. This is the first time ordering from Zulily. NEVER AGAIN! I placed an order last weekend and it wasn't until I checked out and they took my money that, the next day I received a status update that my order will take over a month to get here. They don't tell you that the items come to them and then they ship to you! Very misleading and not fair to consumer. I only hope the order is right and the items are good quality at least. I will stick to Amazon. 3 day shipping easy returns! Don't waste your time people!

    I have ordered from this company twice so far. I am really surprised by what I'm seeing. Like any online purchase, a picture cannot represent an item as well as in person. However, my purchases have been phenomenal. This has always been the basic problem between ordering clothing online vs. a store front. I purchased blouses, pants and dresses so far. The prices were competitive with your average clothing store if not better. The quality of the clothing was surprisingly nice and (having read the sizing charts), the sizes were just as expected. I have even received many compliments on the items when worn. The colors portrayed were remarkably close to what was seen on screen and I've made these purchases using my phone no less! Due to these experiences, I've made several more upcoming purchases.

    My only qualm with this company is the shipping, however the long wait time was never a surprise. They tell you that your item will take some time to ship. Based on my orders, one can expect to see their items between 3 to 6 weeks. I have personally received one part of my purchase by 3 wks and other items (purchased earlier than my second batch) still hasn't arrived yet. This said, there is tracking available. The tracking system isn't the most ideal kind but it gives you a good enough idea that your purchase is moving towards you. Lastly, returns are available, if you really hate your item. I'm pretty picky about what I buy and I haven't returned a thing yet. I want to say I've received 10 separate items so far (in 2 transactions). They allow you to write reviews on your items too which I like.

    In any event, years ago, when they first came out, I hesitated to do business with them because I knew (based on shipping times) they were operating overseas. I regret doing that. My recommendation is NOT to order something for some close upcoming event. Only casual ordering will work. Also, take good looks at the pictures and read the details. While I'm sad for those who were unhappy with this company's service, I've had worse experiences with well known, American based stores. Sorry receipts (to prove verified status) were discarded once I knew I was keeping the products but I am American-born, 46-yr old corporate, middle-class woman of average proportion. No BS on this review. :)

    I received a letter from a debt collection agency because of an outstanding balance of $27 from Zulily. Apparently, my credit card that was used to pay Zulily was stopped or expired shortly after, so the payment could not go through. I wasn't able to track every dollar spent at the time since I was moving. Instead of trying to contact me either by phone or email, I receive a letter from a debt collector a year later. When I called Zulily to settle with them, nobody in the customer service could deal with it, and they ended up giving me a number, which ended up being the collection agency that sent me the letter. I don't think I will buy anything from this company again as they don't seem to make any effort before handing their customer over to a debt collector for $27. Not worth it.

    Now, I can't comment on the quality because I have not received my order yet, but... I order a lot online and this is the only place that takes so long to receive. I ordered on June 25, 2017. My order, as of today's date, July 3rd is in transit to Zulily. I am not to expect my shoes until about July 13, 2017. I ordered four pairs of slides for the summer. I saw a review about the materials/fabric being of poor quality... We'll see when I get my shoes, but I hope not. I don't think I will be ordering from here anymore because of how long it takes to get your stuff.

    Placed my order May 25. By July 3 I had only received 1 of 3 items, and that item is absolute garbage - cheap and flimsy fabric, uneven stitching, wrong size although I followed their own sizing chart, only barely resembling the advertised pic... Fortunately, the one item I received was pretty inexpensive, so I can wear it as pajamas because I would certainly never wear it out in public... Yeah, it's that bad. Do not waste your time or money on products from this company. Save yourself the aggravation and order stuff elsewhere. The pics of their clothing are very deceptive - they look fantastic, but they are junk quality. I'm going to bet that after 2-3 washings this item disintegrates into a pile of cheap nylon scraps.

    I was receiving many ads from Zulily and liked some of the items they displayed, so I decided to try purchasing from them. Pros - prices are discounted, nice selections. Cons - they charged my credit card 3 weeks before I received any orders. No returns allowed. The same manufacturer sizes were inconsistent. 2 items fit properly. 2 were much smaller although the same size. The item descriptions are very vague. 2 items' craftsmanship inferior. There are no customer reviews of merchandise or the Zulily experience on their site. You pay for shipping & the process takes about 1 month to receive your order.

    With the competitive online shopping companies vying for your business, their process seems so convoluted. At one point I called customer service asking about the status of my order, and the explanation of the process was very confusing, to the point all I understood was it takes about 1 month for the order to arrive! Crazy! I will give away the items that don't fit properly & hope the items that do fit will not disintegrate after the first washing! No more Zulily for me... I work too hard for my money to just throw it away. After reading the reviews on this site, it appears that the positive ones were mostly about purchasing shoes. Maybe they do that better?

    I tried this site for the first time and it was a complete disaster! For starters they cancelled out one of my purchases and notified me of it but didn't bother to explain why. When I received my order I wasn't happy with the poor quality of the material on a blouse and it was the wrong size, too; so I inquired about returning it. That's when I was really disappointed with them. All they did was send me automated emails with random names (as if they were really trying to help me) stating that they "value their customers and wanted to help me". They never did. They offered me a store credit of a fraction of the cost of the unused item. Needless to say, I will not be shopping there again.

    Honestly the shipping takes WAAAY too long and the products are just O.K for the price. I ordered a sheet set, drapes, signs, fake flowers, etc. I feel like they are very misleading and need to put up more pictures as well as a more detailed description of the items in order to clear up confusion on said items. My drapes were supposed to be gray and white (as shown in picture) however, when they came in they were gray and beige and super ugly... Very misleading picture. The sheets I ordered are pretty much unusable as they are super scratchy and not soft at all. Very disappointed. I really wanted to love Zulily because they do have great prices... But now I see why. I will not make the mistake of ordering from them again.

    It is a terrible service. Be aware that most of the stuff sold there is a counterfeit or unusable junk. The company does not share reviews or ratings left by other customers, nor sharing complaints. In addition, if incorrect item sent to you you'll be charged 2 times for shipping. First time for initial shipping and second time for return. So if received incorrect item was originally priced at 15.99 + SH 5.99 and that the item you are returning, you'll be charged an additional $5.99 for return SH. Now you calculate what you are getting back? $4. THAT IS RIP OFF!!! Waste of time and money. No more ZULILY for me for sure. SHAME.

    I bought a tunic online from another store and loved it. The next thing I know, tunics are popping up on my computer from Zulily. They looked good. I ordered a couple and they finally came in. I ordered my size, but they didn't fit. The fabric was cheap. I called to return them, and found I would have to print and pay for my shipping label; and they would only issue store credit, no refund on my credit card. DON'T BUY FROM ZULILY!

    I have had only positive experiences with Zulily! I have received numerous compliments (not just from friends) about the numerous clothing items I've purchased there. I have noticed several of the complaints on here are size. Well, it's just like retail. There is no guarantee one pair and style of jeans are going to fit like another. Same from Zulily. I've noticed from buying from them repeatedly that their clothing comes from different suppliers. They offer a descriptive size chart with measurements though, if you pay attention to those they are pretty dead on. Another thing, they very clearly state at the bottom of the product, NO REFUNDS. They also let you know the item does take awhile to ship and usually a timeline to expect it. If they can't get the item (the supplier flakes out on them) THEN they will return your money. Scam? I think not. Try again.

    I bought a pair of Crocs in my usual size. Had to pay for state tax (which was a new thing), but was OK with that since that is expected. Shoe arrived, too small. Manufacturer is inconsistent with sizing. I wanted to return it. Normally Zulily would credit my account if I provided proof. This time they offered to take it back and ask that I pay for the return shipping. The item was only $14 priced similarly at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. If I paid for the shipping, my return credit would have been $6. OMG.

    Frankly, I am surprised that I have to pay for the return. So many online shoe stores offer free returns to the store or through UPS/Fedex. For sure, I will not be purchasing shoes from Zulily again. It is not worth the risk to lose that much for such little savings. Many Crocs are at a great price at stores like Marshalls and TJ Maxx. That's just a reality. I will re-gift it to someone who can use it. And spread the word about your new policies. I've been a Zulily shopper for a while now. I won't even bother shopping here anymore.

    I had heard good things about Zulily from colleagues and friends. So I thought I would try out a couple garments since I recently found out that I am pregnant. I never purchase clothing online but thought "what the heck, I will give it a try since they have cute garments I could wear when I am further along." BIG MISTAKE! First of all, good thing I was in NO hurry to receive the clothing, took about a month for all three to finally arrive. Second, the first garment was large (I ordered a small, I am petite) but still workable. Then I received the second garment weeks later and it was RIDICULOUSLY too large (again a small, which what I received was in my opinion a triple XL). It did not even stay on my shoulders much less my body. My husband and I could both fit in it together.

    So of course, I contacted Zulily for a FULL refund. They refused to refund me in full, said they would send a shipping label (that I had to pay for!) and restocking fee (that I had to pay for!) and they would give a store credit! And a store credit, for what? I will never buy anything from them again. Then I received the third piece, I have still not opened it and I have had it for two weeks. I am too scared to see the waste of money spent again and too scared to return it since I will be basically paying for them to take their mistake back. I understand they work with vendors but they should check the quality and sizes before they send them to customers. Just very disappointed and no wonder why I never buy online. I do not recommend this company to anyone.

    Somehow, I missed all the negative reviews about Zulily - they must do a good job of squashing those. For those of you who understand what it is like to be pregnant, you know that having clothing within a certain time frame makes a difference. Because your body can change week to week, making last month's attire irrelevant. I made the brutal mistake of ordering a belly band and a dress from Zulily and was surprised by the fairly high shipping fee - I could have ordered very similarly priced items from other sites, but I was duped by the positive reviews and went ahead. After a few weeks, I still had not received any of my items. Upon further investigation, I realized that they do not have the products they sell you available to them immediately - you have to wait for these products to mysteriously appear until they can even begin to ship them to you! It took a month to receive my belly band - a month - and still, no dress.

    Yesterday, I received an email (1.5 months after the original order) telling me that the dress may never arrive - it had not appeared for shipment so if it continued to be lost in the stratosphere, they would generously refund the cost of the dress. Wow, thank you for paying me back for a product I never received and wasn't even aware I would never receive until 1.5 months later. I was even more shocked by the fact that they didn't even offer to refund the shipping fee for the product that was NEVER SHIPPED. Why would you charge customers a shipping fee at all if you can't even guarantee they will ever get their products? Seems like a pretty nifty scam to me. Unless you are the expectant mother excited to have clothes to accommodate her changing body and having to wait on a disorganized, self-serving company looking to prey on you. Stay away - I know I will. These guys should not be in business.

    I've had years of experience shopping with Zulily and have never been let down. The brands offered are the same you could get elsewhere, just at much better prices. I love that the offers rotate and sometimes come back. This way you get a nice range of fresh, steady stream of new products to browse through at your leisure. Shipping cost is reasonable but in my experience, the speed leaves a little bit to be desired. I wish that it were faster but I think I often end up shopping during periods of heavy shopping (for example: cyber Monday) and that may have something to do with it.
