Zulily Reviews Summary

Zulily's reputation reflects a significant decline in customer satisfaction, with many long-term shoppers expressing disappointment in product quality and customer service. While some appreciate the variety of offerings, a prevalent concern is the inconsistency in product quality, often described as low and poorly represented online. Customers frequently report frustrations with shipping delays, cumbersome return policies, and inadequate customer support. The shift in management appears to have exacerbated these issues, leading to a general sentiment of disillusionment among previously loyal customers, urging the company to reassess its operational practices to regain trust.

I love Zulily for a few years now. I can order ahead of time and know that it will arrive before Christmas. I can make a "waitlisted" check on something that I missed, but would like to purchase when it becomes available. The packages I can track and am given an email/text alert when it comes in and they also accept returns. So, what's not to love? The many outfits and numerous gifts for my loved ones- they all appreciate the vast selection and I love the low low prices!

I wanted to return an item and it would have cost me as much as I paid for the item. I am now very careful of what I order and won't buy anything if there is the remote chance I might have to return it.

Shipping Slow at Times
February 27, 2020

Some items come from Asia and take way toooo long. Then there are some items that are domestic and turn out to be great!

I absolutely Love Zulily!
February 27, 2020

I absolutely Love Zulily! The prices, styles and ease of shopping can not be beaten!
I visit Zulily daily! Some people say the drawback of shipping time keeps them from ordering. It doesn't bother me and If I need something for a certain event I know to shop in advance or go to an actual store (boo).
I have never been disappointed by the items that I buy. I know to shop carefully that is the key!

I mostly love the Zu. It's definitely buyer beware, must read the descriptions, fabric content, etc. I think your marketing and website designers are genius. Zulily customer service is excellent. The biggest complaint I have is the shipping. I've had purchases get canceled because after weeks of waiting the product became unavailable (how does that happen?), and even more frustrating is the handoff from UPS to the US Postal Service. I can watch my purchase sit at the PO distribution center and then take 2 days or more to make a 30 minute drive to our local PO, sits for another day, and I finally get it... MAYBE. Please, please make other shipping arrangements.
I'd love to see Zulily comp people who leave reviews, or offer prizes or something to motivate more reviews being written.

I love this site!
February 27, 2020

I love this site! I always find good prices. And I always find things I don't even know I want at an awesome price. I'm not so sure that's always a good thing. I've never had a problem returning anything I needed too. I would and do recommend this site to everyone.

It's great having so many sellers and items available daily. I haven't had the bast luck with clothes or shoes but home decor and storage items have been great. The shipping does take some time but you are made aware of that before your final purchase. It's also great when you order on a Friday and after your initial purchase have free shipping the rest of the weekend!

Every product that I have received has been of good or great quality. I have never had to return anything so I am not sure how that process would be. For the most part, shipping is an average time. Some products you do have to wait longer to receive.

Love the variety
February 27, 2020

I love Zulily, especially the discounts and varieties. It's like a treasure hunt. I've been a dedicated customer ever since Zulily first came out. I get why shipping is slow because you all have to wait for the vendor to ship items to you which is perfectly understandable. Lately however, my items have been shipped to someone else or have gone past a certain time frame to be shipped and I'm a little disappointed in that. Also, the customer service went from excellent to just ok.

This website is part of my daily routine, I log in at 9am faithfully daily. With that being said it is a new store everyday, you can go back to the previous days as well but it is a new store everyday. You can find everything on this site.

You should know that shipping is $7.99 when the item is available to ship and if it qualifies for faster shipping then it will cost more money. Also know Zulilly is also owned by HSN/QVC. Shipping can take a while like weeks and if you want to return there is a $7.99 return fee off of your purchased items and you can only ship back up to 4 items at a time.

Prices are comparable and sometimes not low enough to buy but there are times where there are unbeatable prices. All and all it is a great site to shop if you know what you want.

Zulily Offerings
February 27, 2020

I must say I like the majority of things I get from Zulily. Sometimes the shirts have been off when ordering in size but great quality. I don't like having to wait so long for products, can't understand why it takes weeks sometimes a month to get something. I like the variety and different things you can find on here vs a store.

Zulily
February 27, 2020

Love the deals on Zulily. Delivery is much faster than it used to be. The only negative is that you can't return items unless they are expensive. They charge you $9 to return something. Pants I ordered didn't fit but I couldn't return them because they were $10. I would have gotten $1 for returning them. So I gave them away instead of doing all that just for a dollar.

I have to say since many store have closed. This great if I need a Maxi skirt they have them. They have cute tops, pants etc. Handbags jewelry you name they most likely have it. You could buy an outfit from head to toes. It takes a little while to get to you. And if your a big returner this not the company for you cause you only get half your money back but I understand if they refunded all your money people would used them a return clothes store. Everything is always comes nicely packaged

Good deals
February 27, 2020

A lot of great deals. Be careful though, some items shipped from overseas, and require extra delivery time. Some clothing quality and sizing is not quite right. Overall value is good.

Good service
February 27, 2020

Service has been good and I have been pleased with most purchases. Some clothing comes from China and is cheaper quality. I have been pleased with home items. Shipping costs have gone up. They say they have the best deal and often compare to Amazon, but when you factor in the shipping vs. Amazon Prime the cost is the same and sometimes more. If you order more than once during the same day shipping is free on the second order. So I order 1 item then go back and place another to pay less shipping. They should just give a single shipping rate no matter how many items you order. It can also take weeks to get your order.
