I ordered 7 shirts and dresses from Zulily. I received five of them within two weeks and the other two are on their way. I don't think I've ever been happier with a site I bought from online in my life! Everything was true to size and absolutely beautiful. Great material. We have someone that sells stuff exactly like this for $60 a piece! I got 7 things for $100! I believe she probably orders her things off of Zulily and sells them for triple the price of what they actually are. I will continue to order from Zulily!

I've been a customer for a few years now and have ordered several items totaling hundreds of dollars from them all with no problems, so I didn't hesitate to drop about $200 on a Tory Burch purse. My item arrived when expected (on my birthday) and I was super excited to open it. The first thing I noticed was that there were no tags, boxes, dust covers, or anything like I would expect from an authentic Tory Burch item. It was just wrapped in plastic. When I opened the plastic I realized that it wasn't what I had ordered. It was a Tory Burch wristlet, but definitely not the item pictured on the website.
The wallet they sent me wasn't the style I wanted and wouldn't fit my phone so I contacted customer service and they were less than sorry, only offering to send me a return label so I could send the item back and wait for a refund. I thought they should offer me a little something more for my trouble so I called back as well as reaching out to them via Facebook and FB Messenger. No one cared and I was offered a $20 store credit which I will never use because I'm so turned off from ordering from them now. It's been 24 days since they took my money and I am now without a wallet and yet to see my refund. Very disappointed!

Zulily has made some strides in offering better service since my review of Jan. 2018. Unlike before, most - if not all - items are now returnable, although it will cost you out of pocket and is sometimes not worth it.
Thanks to Facebook Messenger, it's super easy to get in touch with someone if you have an issue with merchandise, or simply want to check the status of your order. I was pleased when an order that I was notified would be taking much longer than expected, was able to be canceled without any trouble.
Still, be aware that many of the off-brands come from China, and are not sized to American standard sizing. I've learned to buy about 2 sizes bigger and even then, styles where they drape and bigger doesn't matter all that much.
Brands known well in the USA are a good bet for a satisfactory purchase. I continue to purchase from Zulily, but with the knowledge of lessons learned.
Original Review: Jan. 24, 2018
I have ordered quite a few things over the years, and this will have to stop unless (as noted by others), the product is made by a well known brand maker. Having received what will be my next to last clothing order today, once more the XXL garments that are supposed to be 16-18 (I ordered up, just in case), are terribly small. They *might* be a 12-14, cheaply made and cut small.
As well, the clothing tends to not be consistent in the aspect of bodice size to sleeve size. You may get a 14, but the sleeves will be cut for a skinny arm, and ergo, ill fitting. Of interest, garments from Zulily have the MOST lint and threads on them; I am reminded of something that has been dropped to the factory floor and then crammed into a bag without so much as a shake. Summary: Expect that any garment that is not a well known brand in the USA, will be cut small -considerably small, even ridiculously so. Also, the fabrics used are often thin and seams may not be sewn well, which results in them pulling apart easily. I will stick to shoes and handbags from this company from now on.

I used to buy from this site a lot but it became so not reliable. I ordered two items and only received one of them on January 11 as they promised. The second item never was shipped. When I called customer service, they told me they will have to cancel it, and they don't know why the item was never shipped. All items come with no original boxes or packages, (like creams) everything is opened, congeners scratched. Looks like junk. Do not recommend this site to anyone. Takes forever to receive your order, if you even receive it.

Ordered two outfits to wear with Leggings Dec 27. Thought it was great to be able to track items, until I got tired of waits for them. Finally showed up Jan 13 (suppose to be UPS) by mail. I was disappointed in how long it took to get to me, the quality of the items as well. So looking forward to being a customer. Now lost.

Do not do business with this company. The clothing is not good quality. When you see that you will want to return it. Therein lies the problem. You return the item and they will refuse to give you back your money. They give you a store credit. It is a scam. They have their clothes returned, so they should return your money. Again do not do business with this scam company.

I ordered two items on December 16th from the same shop. For whatever reason they were shipped out in separate packages. I received the 2nd package, but the 1st package has been lost as of January 2nd. I contacted UPS who cannot help me because I'm not the shipper. USPS never received the package from UPS. I contacted Zulily twice. Apparently their reps aren't paid to care or lacking reading comprehension skills because their response each time is that there's a 7-10 grace period, so I need to wait one extra day before I contact them for the 3rd time. They are unbelievably unhelpful. They can't even contact UPS to track a package down? I will never use this company again. The last time I purchased a non-brand name item, it was cheap plastic that I ended up throwing in the garbage. I should have learned my lesson then. This company lacks accountability.

I have been shopping at Zulily for several years. They don't claim to have fast shipping. They clearly state no returns. I have found, like others who reviewed here, that clothing does not always fit. I have learned to look at what things are made of and reject most things for me as I really hate clothing with any spandex. Also, it helps to know brands...sometimes there are great brand name items at super prices (especially for children or for gym/yoga clothes and leggings--like Marika). I usually check Amazon reviews and prices first.
Sometimes I then buy at Amazon and sometimes I reject the item. It ALWAYS takes what seems like forever for items to arrive. Usually love them when they do. I've noted many one star reviews complaining about policies Zulily is clear about in all their ads. I LOVE Zulily and what I have purchased is usually good quality at GREAT prices. I find homes for things that don't fit me. I do most of my holiday shopping here throughout the year. Set your expectations carefully, research what you buy and Zulily won't disappoint.

Zulily has always been excellent. I understand that their shipping is sometimes lengthy, and they explain why on their site. They’re easy to contact, they answer efficiently, and refund without question if you’re unhappy. I have ordered many many times and only once received something with an issue. They gave me a full refund plus a credit on my account. It’s quickly become an addition for me and I love using the site. They are reliable, accountable, and very friendly.

I am surprised to see all those negative review about Zulily. I have been a member since the beginning but never placed an order. I recently decided to give it a try because of all those cute little stuff they have for children. The quality of the clothing are very good, I even ordered a few stuff for myself and was able to take advantage of their smart pay option which was great. I ordered about 15 items and all of them arrived within the timeline that they advised if not sooner. Only one item out of the 15 was delayed and I received a prompt notification with an apology and the possibility to receive a refund. I decided to wait and the items was shipped with 3-4 days of delays.
By the way, customer service is great. I called to see if they can shipped some of the items sooner and they were able to update some of the items accordingly. Wait time was excellent. I also emailed concerning something else and response came fast. Now, I would prefer all my items to arrive within a week or less but they are honest about the ETA so if you are in a rush to get an order you know to avoid those that need longer processing time. And I honestly got a little frustrated about the delivery time but I was in the know when I placed the order. I did not give it 5 star because I am under the impression that sometimes I am not really getting the discount that they claim they offer but I have to further my research on that prior confirmation. That's my honest opinion and I am currently looking into buying some more stuff from them.

Zulily - Read Their Guidelines Very Carefully. 1. Your shipment will not arrive promptly, expect it in about a month. 2. Their size guidelines are inaccurate. Only order name brands from which you have bought before. 3. They did give a full credit card refund when items that I had ordered were promised by Christmas, but did not arrive. They sent an email telling me that the items would not arrive on time, and gave me the opportunity to cancel the order. 4. Even if items are returnable, it is almost always for a site credit, not a credit in the form of original payment. 5. Order only if you are completely informed about their terms and conditions.

I purchased a little of everything for Christmas from this company. Many items were returned because the jewelry looked like it came from the dollar store, the clothing was shapeless. They charge $5 per item plus $2.50 re-stocking fee of whatever you return. I bought a toy puzzle that was supposed to make sounds, but it was such a low sound my breathing was more powerful than it. It also is coming apart, put it in the garbage today, some Christmas gift that was! Terrible company, cheap merchandise, clueless customer service. I have emails to back it up.

Have had to return a few things to Zulily in the past due to incorrect sizing or poor quality and it took several weeks to receive a refund. This time I can't even get them to send a return label to me. Ordered a tunic in November and finally rec'd it over a month later. Design and color were not as described so I requested a return. Have been going back and forth via phone and email for over 3 weeks now. Tired of their "form" email replies and them being unable to email a simple label to me. Told them to keep their cheaply made tunic and that I would never purchase from them again... and will spread the word that Zulily sucks. New Year's resolution: don't support businesses with poor customer service...

Besides getting various quality items, mostly poor but every now and then I do feel I get good items which kept me going back. Recently they guaranteed items by Christmas, I ordered one item in November and I did not receive them, after emailing back and forth and a 10 dollar credit I went to Better Business Bureau and we will see how this ends. It was the quickest response I received from them, but I do not feel the need to explain whether an item I got was for a gift or not... I am done trying to solve the issue with them and will likely just donate items.

Within the past year all but one item I have ordered for my kids have not fit even though I order based off their size charts. I can return them at my own expense if I really want to which is unacceptable since they are the ones that are mis-advertising their clothes. Items guaranteed to be received before Christmas (ordered 11/28/17) MIGHT be here tomorrow (12/29/17). For my inconvenience they will allow me to return the items and they will graciously waive the return fees and give me $10 off a future order. Since I won't be shopping with them again that $10 is useless and they act like waiving the return fees is a favor to me when that is the absolute 'least' they can do.
Their phone tree must be specifically designed to lead you to recorded information rather than allow you to speak to a person. Pick the wrong selection and you will not have the option to go backwards; the only option is to call them back. Customer service employees on FB are dismissive and unhelpful. I'm warning my friends and family not to shop with Zulily.

ZULILY IS A TERRIBLE SCAMMING SITE AND THEY DO IT WITH SUCH FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SALES REPS THAT DO NOTHING!!! This terrible awful company should be put out of business. I never complain about sales sites but avoid these people. You have been warned. I ordered three separate items all at once because their website kept popping up on my page and their clothes looked nice! They take your money straight away, 6 weeks to deliver awful products! That you can get better and cheaper in Walmart!
Then over 8 weeks to get money refunded and the threat of legal action from my bank! They do it to everyone! They refund the money on their website not back to your account. Not to your card. They want you to use your money again! And all the sympathy from the so called customer reps and supervisors is false! And they ignore your complaints! Over and over again they have no powers as this money is distributed to all Far East traders! Then it is very difficult to get it back again.

There are so many choices in every possible category on zulily, and the prices are terrific, especially for home goods like quality cookware, sheets and towels. However, their apparel is sized for smaller women. Even when we ordered XL according to the accompanying size chart, the clothing often did not fit even my daughter who wears a Small/Medium. A co-worker bought a tunic in Large and it was so small and fitted that she donated it to a shelter. The size disparity possibly explains why such cute clothes are priced so low.

I ordered a throw blanket from Zulily. It had such a bright and festive pattern and beautiful colors. I was very excited to receive it and give it as a gift to my family member. When it arrived the fabric was so thin and of such poor quality, there was no way I could give it as a gift. It would have been embarrassing. Also, the dimensions were off. It was way tinier than advertised, it was about the size of a large bath towel. Totally useless as a blanket of any kind. It cost $30 too - for that I could have gone to a chain department store and purchased a decent blanket that would have covered a twin bed and would have been warm.

I purchased a Dyson refurbished vacuum back in October. I received it and the back of the handle was missing so I could not use it since the hose would not stay up. Zulily told me to contact Dyson because of the Dyson warranty. Dyson had me ship the vacuum back (they paid for shipping) and they added the missing part. When I got the vacuum the suction did not work properly.
I called Zulily and asked for a refund. They refused to give me a refund because they said it was under the Dyson warranty. The customer rep had no concern and did not try to assist me in any way and just transferred me to Dyson 800 number to get rid of me. Dyson then told me to ship the machine back to them again so they could send me a different machine. The second vacuum I received was again missing the back of the handle. Now I am waiting for the additional part 3 months after I purchased this. Zulily's customer service was very poor. The took my money but have done nothing to assist me.

Ordered several items, and was alerted that the order was eligible for pay over time. 2 equal payments over 30 days vs 1 full payment, so I chose this option as to avoid finance charges just before Christmas. Fast forward 30 days to when the 2nd payment which was to be charged to my PayPal credit account, and I get an email stating that my account my overdue. Of course the first thing I do is check my PayPal and account & credit limit - which as I knew, was fine! So I log into Zulily and get an immediate alert of payment being due and click the link to manually enter my PayPal info again - but there is no PayPal info option! I sent an email, and was told that they would recharge my PayPal in 3 days... on the 4th day, I noticed that the charge still not go through, so I called.
The person I spoke to blamed PayPal, blamed the pay over time option - which apparently is a 3rd party... but accepted absolutely no blame nor could they explain why the PayPal credit was no longer an option! I did not go looking for this mess, I just chose what I thought was to be a simple payment option... and it turned out not to be! So now, I had to charge the balance on a completely different card - which being 1 week before Christmas I was not expecting or prepared to do as I segment all my bills and which cards/credits are to be used! Furthermore, they would not even apply a $4.45 credit that I had on my account to lower my balance - because at this point I will never shop there again! Spare yourself the issues with payments, returns and "credits" - shop elsewhere!

I have been shopping with Zulily for four years, and am shocked at some of the comments on this site. It seems to me that some of the customers do not understand how the site works. Blaming the company for not asking the correct questions seems futile. I buy almost all of my clothing on Zulily, and most of my gifts. I read the listings at least every weekend, and sometimes at night for entertainment. I often find something awesome I never even thought of. I rarely go to the mall anymore. Zulily's prices are so much better on all of the brands that I love.
When things go wrong, as they are apt to do even with the best companies, I have found them very willing to make me happy. In fact, they usually refund more than I spent for my trouble. This holiday season, I bought a total of about 30 items. Two were problematic. The first they replaced without hesitation or return, the second they sent me a label for, but it grew on me the longer I had it. The sales have been fabulous. My favorite steal was a one day special sale where I bought a dress for under $4. I thought it would be just a hang around the house sort of thing. When I got it, it was gorgeous, with lovely details that didn't show in the picture. What fun.
But this touches on my biggest complaint. The pictures and descriptions often are not accurate. So a cape is really a Ryan's. And a long duster turns out to be a shrug. But Zulily always makes good on the order, either refunding, or replacing items. The site is great fun, and other than spending more than I should, it is a great way to save money. It does not work like any other online store I know, however. Getting familiar with the site and reading about it online will help one have the best experience possible. And don't believe the sour grapes. If you do not give a store a path to please you, They won't.

I promptly returned a wool jacket following the instructions provided with my item. Once mailed the item I contacted Zulily that day to confirm that my PayPal account would be credited the refund and was advised that it would. On the day that Zulily received my return I called to confirm the process and the credit to my PayPal account. Again, rep stated that my PayPal would be credited within 5-7 business days. As of the 8th business day my PayPal was not credited, so I called Zulily to ask for it to be processed. Rep placed me on long hold and came back that since I initiated the return they could not credit my PayPal but gave me store credit instead. I stated that was not acceptable as I would be still paying for something that I did not keep and didn't intend to use the store credit.
As I was explaining this the "customer service" rep interrupted me rudely saying she was not finished. Once she finished I stated that I am the paying customer, and this is the first time I've purchased from Zulily resulting in a poor experience. I asked why didn't the first two reps I spoke with weeks ago correctly explain the return policy to me. Also, I asked if my calls had been logged which at first she said no then stated yes she can see them.

Zulily has definitely gone downhill. I have used them for years, however this year, they have managed to ruin Christmas. I ordered items MONTHS ago, yet they never shipped, even with a Christmas guarantee. I was told items were delivered, yet I never saw them, and after several calls and being hung up one, managed to get refunded for them. I then canceled two orders for chairs, looked online, and she had only canceled one. I then had to cancel the remaining order myself. I then only received one refund for both orders, so when I called back, I was informed it was my bank's fault. I work at the bank, so I know it never came in. They refused to refund me the $86.94, so I was forced to file a dispute with Mastercard, as they had failed to do what was promised. I now have my $86.94 from Mastercard refunded back to my bank account and Zulily will never have my business again.

I have been purchasing from zulily since they started 7 years ago and they used to be great, I never had problems until recently. The last year or two we have had to request a couple of refunds for junk that looked fine on the site but came to us very poor in quality. My last purchase was the final straw, I made the mistake going for their magazine subscriptions; I bought 3 back in August and have been going back and forth for the last month trying to find out where one of them is/ when it may be coming. 15 weeks now, 4 months, when typical magazine subscriptions take 6-8, maybe 8-10 weeks. Their replies have been very dismissive and nonchalant about helping me resolve this issue. I had never needed refunds/returns until these last couple of years and even then they were pretty good about refunding an item that was damaged or incorrect in size, etc.
Suddenly I am getting a hard time over a 6 dollar purchase that I have not received and have not received an answer as to when I would ever get it. This was all I got in addition to a promise of two more issues (which means nothing when you aren't getting any to begin with) "The publisher further advised us that they count subscription length not by calendar year but by the number of issues ordered and that they will ensure you receive every issue that you paid for. We are currently working with the publisher to get a delivery time frame for the next issues and we should have this information soon."
Saying that they count subscription length not by calendar year but by issues ordered is incredibly vague and not very promising. Does that mean I will get every issue but they'll start sending them 5 years from now or tomorrow, does that mean I'll just get them sporadically over my lifetime? I am really annoyed because I feel like this magazine subscription was a scam, especially after looking a little more into them online.
After over a month of stress in just trying to get some form of a straight answer I finally just requested a refund and actually received it (my email request was handed back to me with an ignorant, generic response about magazines taking 8-10 weeks obviously not looking at the history of this purchase), I had to call in and speak to someone about it. 7 years of being a customer. I don't believe that I will be shopping through them anymore because I cannot trust the purchases that I am making are good or valid anymore.

I've purchased from Zulily several times, and sadly, it took me that long to realize that doing the same thing and expecting a different result really is the definition of insanity. First it was dresses and clothes for my daughter. The material for the dress was really funky, but not like a nice cotton flannel. The same for cozy plaid shirts for both of us. The white shirt in this order was huge. The 1X was large enough for a 4X at least. And flowered tunics that looked so great in the photos are that same weird fabric. And now on to the silky a-line shirts. The fabric was fine, but a more recent order, the pattern, so beautiful in the photo, was placed differently in the shirt that arrived. I'll never wear it. I have to hand it to Zulily though. They have the very best... photographers.

I ordered two tunics and children's boots. I was charged shipping because I canceled the 2nd tunic. So I spent more on shipping than the items cost. I wasn't informed I could be charged shipping when I canceled. I also wasn't informed the tunics come from China and they go through customs and it takes forever to get them.

I will NEVER EVER purchase a product through them again. I purchased an Apple Watch that was refurbished as a wedding anniversary present for my wife. It cost me $289 plus tax, for a total of $315. When it arrived, I immediately gift wrapped it and gave it to her after our celebratory dinner. When she opened it, the box was empty - no watch, no charger, just one half of a watchband. My wife was completely devastated and I felt like a fool. When I called Zulily, they said it could take up to 10 days before they could find out IF they could send me a replacement (they have to contact the vendor) or they could give me a refund. I took the refund since they couldn't guarantee that they could get me a watch (that was at the suggestion of the supervisor). They didn't seem the least bit concerned that their vendor was stealing from them, and there was no sense that they cared.

I'm a longtime zulily customer, but after numerous bad experiences with items breaking during shipping, I am seeking an outlet to vent. The top items in my orders that arrive repeatedly broken are candles - the lovely ones in the big glass jars. Sometimes, they are marginally wrapped in shipping paper. Sometimes, they appear to have been literally thrown in the box, and of course, they break during shipping. Broken glass goes EVERYWHERE inside the packages, as would be expected. It's not enough to simply remove the broken item, I have to CAREFULLY take everything else out of the shipping box, shake it over the table, pick up all the shard of sharp glass, and then collapse the box because the shards become stuck in the box flaps.
I have already accidentally cut myself TWICE reaching in the box to pull out an item. I've also had a glass decorative trinket box shatter in shipping - it had absolutely NO WRAPPING PAPER WHATSOEVER. Just tossed in the card box shipping box. Today I opened a shipment and an ornament I had ordered to give as a gift was completely obliterated. NO PACKAGING! It's INSANE!!! I take photos of everything and email zulily.
Sometimes, if the item is still in stock they will re-send (always with better packaging). Sometimes the item is out of stock and they refund. Usually they give me a $5 store credit for my trouble. And it IS a trouble! It's a hassle! It's not worth the savings, having to STICK MY HAND IN A BOX OF GLASS SHARDS. It's like a horrible roulette every time! "Why do you keep buying glass stuff there?" You ask? Because the deals are great. That's why. But pretty soon, I'm going to run out of band-aids, and I guess I'll be buying my stuff elsewhere.

I responded to ads featuring gorgeous clothing from Zulily, and made the mistake of placing a very large order. I wasn’t aware that this company is located in China, or that it takes well over a month for an order to arrive. When I finally received the clothing, it was incredibly cheap and poorly made - nothing like the beautiful clothing shown on their website.
There was no packing slip or return information included with the clothes, so I sent an e-mail to Zulily through their website. I received a response days later, saying they would accept a return of the merchandise for store credit only, MINUS a sizable restocking fee and shipping charge! By the time that amount is deducted, I’m better off donating the items to Goodwill. I suggest you stay away from this site. You would do equally as well to flush your cash down the toilet as to spend it at Zulily.

I read some of the other reviews regarding Zulily and the issues people had with returning things. My experience with them seems to be totally different. In fact, it was Zulily Customer Service that reached out to ME via email, notifying me of a shipping delay on some of the items I had ordered. I was given the option to continue to wait on the shipment, or to cancel the order. I chose to cancel, and within 24 hours, I was notified that the charges were being refunded, in full. I thought it was great that THEY contacted me rather than having me receive a partial order with an invoice stating: "Some items delayed in shipping"... which HAS happened to me before.
Granted, it's not like I was actually returning something, but still, I thought the personal contact from them was really great. And that they actually carried through on the refund immediately. PLUS, they offered a $10 gift card for the inconvenience! Gives me a lot of confidence in the company and I won't hesitate to order from them again in the future.

I like Zulily and I've got some great prices on merchandise I've bought. The only problem was shoes from Quopid that were a size 10 but turned out to be an 8 narrow which I have to call Customer service about. Zulily gave me credit on 2 pairs of mukluk slippers that were dangerous to walk on without any arguing. My biggest problem is the "submit order" page on Android is a nightmare because thats the only page there is between you and a $1000 mistake and I've made it 4 times. The last one was for $65.00 and $200+ just recently and shortly after downloading the App again the item priced at $65.00 was not even in the Cart. GO FIGURE!
I found out these accidental orders when I checked my email with a Zulily confirmation 4 different times. Can you imagine the utter panic when I inadvertently ordered over $1000 last year. I was so angry. I called them and they were able to cancel each order, I even deleted Zulily for a year and I gave Zulily another try and guess what happened? A $200+ order confirmed by email that I didn't know about. So I I stopped putting items into my Cart for fear of the submit order button and guess what, I look on my orders to find an item for $65.00 being shipped.
I called Zulily, now I have to wait for the item to arrive to ship it back. I have emailed Zulily to change the "submit order" at the bottom of the Android page to no avail. Every online shopping sites have a "review order" page before hitting the submit order page but not Zulily and why they won't correct this page is beyond me, what if I never checked my email and found 2 identical Recliners on my Porch. It's an outrage and yet they don't give you a Review order page. I am deleting the App for good once I sort out this mess with Zulily and I'm not ordering anything again until they change their ordering practice.

Zulily has a high shipping fee, and now it has also introduced high return and restocking fees. Their clothing is very hard to guess on the correct size and varies a lot. I checked the sizing charts on each item, and ordered 3 different blouses in the same size, following the sizing charts. One was way too small and the others were way too big. I've also had this same experience in the past with Zulily. If you order from Zulily, it's almost certain that you will have to return at least some of your orders due to sizing inconsistencies. And you will not only pay the original high shipping fee, but also pay the high return and restocking fee! Also they will not refund directly to your credit card, but only give a store credit!

Firstly, the two times I've had to contact customers service about returns were positive experiences. They hire top-notch people to answer their phones. I will say these are some of the most friendly, and as helpful as they can be customer service people that I've ever encountered. The flip side is that they are bound to give me bad news, because Zulily's returns policy is horrible. I ordered 4 clothing items, of which 2 were clearly poorly-reproduced knockoffs. I did not pay a bargain price for either of these clothing items, if I had, I would be much less annoyed.
Upon contacting their wonderful customer service department, I was informed that they do not issue refunds, but only store credit. I do not want this shady company keeping my money, but I suppose I am bound to order things until my credit runs out and hope that eventually I'll get items that I feel were worth the $100 I now have but don't want in credit. $100 is a few Christmas gifts -- if they issued refunds (and they're absolutely not clear on their policy online). I'd be fine with this company and consider ordering again without feeling coerced to do so. I'm only giving 2 stars because there are people who work at Zulily who are wonderful, they just have their hands tied by terrible and frankly predatory policies.

I just read quite a few complaints and am astonished. I have been buying from this company for 2 years and have had only 1 problem - a pair of shoes ordered in size 9, were filled with size 6. I wrote the company, and received a full credit and was told to keep the shoes, which I donated. As far as the shipping, each item will give you a hint of when to expect shipping, as well as checkout allows you to have a large order broken up into smaller shipments for faster order filling. Of course, doing this does incur extra shipping. My great-granddaughter has at least 20 plus pairs of shoes and boots from this company at that are priced normally under $10.00. I get her the cutest outfits, and holiday clothing at affordable pricing.
I have only had 1 concern with a dress that was larger than expected from the item description, but that is not bad considering online shopping risks as a whole. I know I cannot return as item, but even when I can at other stores, it is sometimes easier to donate the product than stand in the return line and go through the hassle of proving the price paid, etc. I do check unknown vendors on the web for feedback on the companies and products so I know what I am buying. I just ordered a basketball set for Christmas for a great-grandson 2 days ago, and it has already shipped.
This site is fun and carries unusual items for all ages as well. Some of my granddaughters love to watch the makeup area for different nail wraps, or lipsticks with pieces with flowers in the center. I cannot understand all of the negativity, but the consumer needs to have some accountability to understand what they are buying as well as checks on the products they are purchasing. I love this site. (And this is not a paid endorsement - just a very satisfied customer).

I've been purchasing items from Zulily for about a year. In the beginning they were very good about correcting problems with orders and the issues were minimal. In the past 6 months, I've had several problems (orders not being delivered or refunded, as well as losing orders in their system but the money came out of my account). My most recent issue was finding a pair of hiking shoes that were on the original manufacturer's website for $30 less than what Zulily was selling them for. The problem with this is Zulily was promoting these shoes on the site as being up to 40%, implying they were offering a savings from the SRMP. The cost of these shoes on the manufacturer's site was $30 less and that was the regular price. So Zulily marked up the cost of these shoes and mislead people to believe they were purchasing at a discount. I now wonder how many other items I've purchased where this has happened.

I purchased two tunics from the same manufacturer. I did not know until later, when I checked the status, that it would take 6+ weeks to receive it. I found finer print on the bottom left of the screen that said it could take a while. I chalked that up to a lesson learned on a cheap website. However, the tunics were slightly different styles in the cut. Both were medium. One fit -- the other one is probably a 3X b/c it fit a friend who is that size. The model for the tunic was thin and it fit normally on her. The shoulder seams sat in the right place in the picture, so it's not meant to fit very loosely. I consulted the size chart for the item and it's for normal size M 6/8 measurements.
I contacted customer service and I was offered what ended up being less than 50% of what I paid. I told them it was unacceptable b/c this was definitely an error on their part. They kept responding that they don't have a place to store return. Unacceptable. They are taking advantage of the fact that customers are used to being able to easily see shipping times, or that the items are so inexpensive, and their policy is to not accept returns in an effort to avoid having to actually ethically fix their mistakes. Trying to locate their legal team. In the past when a similar error happened -- the sizing on the chart did NOT match the sizing on the package, therefore they were unwearable, they refunded me 100%.

I used to be Zulily customer until I had a few issues with them and realized that if I consider price and time spent on communications back and forth it’s actually better to purchase from big retailers. Here’s some tiles: 1. Do not purchase unknown brands on Zulily. Most likely you will have a quality issue with your purchase; 2. Promotions on Zulily website or those emailed to you means nothing. I tried to take advantage of their free shipping offer a couple times, never works. And when you try to contact their customer support they play possum with you, “What offer? Or that one!? It ended two months ago.” If it’s ended two months ago why did you email me this offer today? No response. Waste of time. ))

15 days ago I ordered nearly $70.00 worth of clothes from zulily. All I have received is a congratulations email stating that order had been confirmed. No tracking number, and NOTHING saying as when to expect my order. Started a conversation on Messenger, with no reply. Pop up question bubble asking if I wanted to talk to a representative. I reply back, and still nothing. SO frustrating.
I am pretty darn sure my account has already been billed to top it off. Where is the customer service??? Very poor way to run a business. I would highly NOT RECOMMEND this site for ordering.

Gave incorrect shipping info on website when order placed. Order placed Saturday 10/14. Website said my order was being shipped "tomorrow" which it did not. When questioned why my order was shipping 2 days later, they said they don't ship on Sundays and that my order won't ship until Tuesday. When I stated the website told me it was being shipped tomorrow (and the only reason I placed the order) they told me I should have chosen expedited shipping. (Which would not change the shipping date they said the item would be shipped.) They sent me their shipping info from the website, but that had nothing to do with why they are shipping my order 2 days later than what the website said when I selected my item.
Customer service seems to be trained to divert the conversation to give answers that don't apply to what actually occurred. They never took the blame for their error but were quick to blame me by not expediting my shipping and not realizing that shipments don't occur on Sundays! I told them they need to fix their website and that it's false advertising. Disgusting and frustrating and their Facebook PM system to talk to "Zoe" is awful. They take an hour to respond to each comment or response you make to them, took 2 days to have a convo. Then the next day you get someone else and have to start over.

Zulily should be required to boldly state upfront that returns are not accepted. To not accept returns is unusual and that fact should be made clear, which it is not. The merchandise in an order is shipped sporadically. One shipment took 6 weeks. The merchandise quality is poor and the sizes not even close to the USA norm. I received a blouse with a hole in the sleeve. I ordered an XL tee which is the exact same size as a medium blouse in the same order. Difficult to conceive that a company with such horrible practices and reviews remains online, able to take in money for junk.

This is a highly disreputable company. I purchased women's clothing for $75. The quality was horrible and the sizing bizarre. When I tried to return the items they charged me re-labelling fees, restocking fees and return fees. The total number of fees was $26.08 in addition to paying the FEDEX fee to return the item, which they would only take via FEDEX. They are also keeping sales tax on returned items. Hmm... how is that legal? Zulily co-founders Mark Vadon and Darrell Cavens made $2.6 billion when they sold their company to QVC. They didn't get rich by running a reputable online store. When I called and wrote to their customer services desk multiple times they claimed they would refund me in full but never did. My next letter is to their legal department. For shame Zulily.

When these tops arrived they were nothing like the pictures, they didn't fit or look the same when they arrived, fabric was inexpensive, although they state that manufacturer's price is $100. Now I have 20 tops I can't return and the original top that I liked so well, I've worn it 3 times and the fabric pills so bad that now I have to throw the top away. Fabric has to be the cheapest that China makes, there's a reason why they won't accept returns. Please don't make the same mistake I did. It cost me $300 for a good lesson learned.

I have been ordering from this site for over 2 years now and the majority of my wardrobe is from them. I tell everyone to read the size charts carefully as each designer is different, study the photos to see how thick the material is, read the description which has the material and where it is made and know what styles flatter your figure. Price point is also key as you get what you pay for. The delivery lead time is stated right below the product information before you ever order and is clearly stated. I have had items that were not as advertised, called the phone number on the bottom of their home page and have been very satisfied with their response time and solutions.
We need to stop blaming the site for our own lack of attention to details. I get loads of compliments on my clothes and feel great in them. I shop with care and while some things are not as great as others, I wholly recommend the site to those friends who take time to assess the item carefully before purchasing. I will continue to use this site to keep fashionable and affordable clothes coming my way.

You won't be told that the product you ordered will not be immediately available until after you have placed your order. There are no returns - shame on me for not researching this before I ordered. I have become accustomed to dealing with companies that accept returns if you are dissatisfied. I find it a deceptive practice not to make this very clear before a customer places an order. I was not satisfied with the fit (reaches to my knees) or the quality. The quality of the fabric is inferior to what I would expect for the price - it would be fine for a nightgown, but not something I would wear except in the most casual setting (such as a trip to the grocery store).

On May 26th and May 30th of this year I placed two orders on Zulily.com. Shortly after placing the orders I realized the address the items were shipping to was that of my sister in Georgia. Apparently the address had defaulted to her address. As soon as I notice it I went to order tab on the screen, clicked the view/modify order and changed the address to my own. I even got a response email from Zulily confirming the address had been updated to my home address. Jump forward to June, I receive two emails notifying me the items were shipping. Upon looking at the emails that is when I noticed that the address was once again that of my sister. I call Zulily immediately to ask them to stop the shipping and correct the address. I was told that it was too late and that there was nothing that they could do.
I told the customer service rep what had happened and that I had received a confirmation email stating that everything had been fixed. She supposedly looked at their system and said that no such thing had gone out to me. At that she told me I could call the post office in my hometown and see if they would forward the packages to me. That they could not ask the post office to correct the delivery. Only the customer could do that. This is the second time they have screwed up a shipment due to their system not working properly. Long story short my sister was out of town at the time of the delivery and the items that I spent $142.84 of my money on were stolen off of her porch. Oh yeah I got a whole $5.00 store credit for my troubles. Piss poor customer service, they pass the buck and never ever own up to their screw-ups.

I've bought from Zulily three times HOPING I'd get something of value. Sadly, out of all three times I felt scammed and like I wasted my money. The first time I bought a wood sign. It looked awesome on the website, but it was nothing more than words printed out on cheap wood. Still, no one could really tell as it's high up on my wall and not a main focal point so I tried Zulily again. This time I bought another wood sign. Again, it looked awesome online, but when it came I was extremely disappointed. It was the thinnest piece of wood, and again, the picture was pathetically printed on the cheap wood. I was pretty disappointed. I learned my lesson and refuse to buy any wood signs so for the third attempt I bought some makeup. In a department store this makeup would be over a hundred dollars so I was happy to see it for half price.
Well, the moisturizer I got must have been old because there were clumps in it which isn't typical of this makeup. It also made me breakout like crazy, burning my face and leaving me with very dry skin. I had used this makeup before from a department store and never had a problem so this makeup Zulily sold me must have been sitting for a LONG time. Whatever, I get what I get. I did email Zulily and complain about their shipping price. Their sales typically don't mean anything when you're automatically tacking on a $7.99 shipping fee. If something's usually $20 in a store and Zulily lists it at $15, you're actually paying more. They sent me back an email with a bunch of nonsense that didn't really say anything and certainly didn't address the issue. You live, you learn. I won't buy Zulily again.

After reading all the negative reviews, I have one thing to say to consumers using Zulily. Do your homework. Read the descriptions, check the size charts and be wary of unknown brands. I buy from Zulily, but I only buy brands I know and already like and use. Read the clothing descriptions. Don't buy any of the cheap synthetics fabric items with low prices. They are bargain outlet junk. The size descriptions they post are accurate so if you wear a medium most of the time, don't assume that a medium on Zulily is going to fit. Check the sizing chart. They sell a lot of European clothing that is not identified as such, and the sizing is different and you will see that if you check the sizing chart. I mostly buy jewelry, home and decor items, and shoes - mainly because I am a petite and they don't offer petite sizes and also I buy natural fiber clothing, not synthetics (which they are overrun with).
I had to call their customer service once, on a scarf that the description said was an infinity scarf and it was not when I received it. They refunded my money without questions (scarf was inexpensive and it would have cost more to ship it back). And if you need something in less than a month, don't order from Zulily. You always have the option to cancel an item before it is shipped and they will refund your $. I have had to cancel items twice after I was notified of shipping delays and given the option to wait or cancel. Both times, my $ was promptly refunded. You can find some good bargains, but it takes a little effort. It also helps to know what things cost in the regular stores. Things like name brand cosmetics that never go on sale can be obtained at below department store cost.

Upon receiving the clothes I discovered unfortunately that Zulily appears to be a scam and the negative reviews were justified.

The clothes were sewn together into such odd shapes, they were not comfortable to wear and made one look disheveled and the result of a home economics sewing project gone wrong.
The quality of the material was mediocre. Upon contacting customer service they charged me shipping to take back and would only apply store credit, forcing me to spend my "refunded" money on their clothes again.

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! They are low on the totem pole for quality products and customer service.

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 ordered a dress from Zulily in an XL. I received the dress and it was maybe a medium. Also the buttons on the dress were not straight. I called Zulily to find out how to return my item.

The experience was very disappointing because I was so excited about the clothes and the fun styles. Now I'm afraid to order from Zulily because I will just end up paying to ship something to my house and then pay to ship it back.

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. I've never contacted customer service with Zulily, as I've never had any issues but I don't imagine it'd be very hard to do. I believe there are links at the bottom of the page that you can click to contact them.

Zulily has a ton of items for adults and kids at amazing prices. They also have unique items and flash sales you have to get on in when you can.

Zulily's selection could be better but right now it's not that bad. I like the styles and it has the latest trends for the shoes too. I like how relevant it is to me style-wise too.

I wish the shipping was a bit more faster but it is acceptable for me at the moment. Shipping takes about a week which is fine for me. It's a great speed and packaging is nice too.

I bought tennis shoes for my daughter to prove to my husband that I could find her good shoes that weren't really expensive. There wasn't a huge selection, but I was able to find exactly what I wanted. It was a quick process to look through all the shoes, as there really weren't many to choose from, but the selection was satisfactory to me. The shipping price was reasonable and the package came in good shape. I was happy with everything, but it took quite awhile to get to me. It wasn't horrible, and I was prepared for it to take awhile, so it didn't upset me, but I'm used to much quicker shipping from other sites. My daughter loves the shoes and wears them all of the time. They are a character she loves and they light up.
