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 ordered a tunic that took over a month to arrive, with very little communication about shipping delays. The tunic (with the exception of its color) was HUGE and nothing as pictured. I had ordered a small, and it said small, but clearly was very off in measurements. They did give me a shipping label to send it back, but after 2 weeks, I still have not even heard that they received it and I have still not received my refund. They also said they would give me ANOTHER $5 credit ($5 for it shipping so late), but they never did that either. Really really bad customer service, and the product was not as pictured.
I ordered an item on the site. I paid with PayPal. The Zulily site immediately defaulted to an old shipping address. I immediately tried to edit the shipping address. The system advised an "error occurred" message. I tried PayPal, their automated system was not asking for the code I was given off their website and would not recognize anything I entered from my profile which I was confirming by viewing my information on their website. Customer service from both companies was unreachable. Then Zulily, sent an email conveying the had substituted another item for what I purchased. They did so without asking me. I emailed both companies. They both advised of system issues today. I managed to get a very nice agent from Zulily to cancel my order. PayPal called back but, when you were being transferred the system advised their were system issues. Be careful this holiday season. You might want to go in a store.
I ordered three tunics. They took about three weeks to arrive. The material was cheap, the colors were different from what they advertised and the patterns didnt match at the seams. Stay away from their clothes.
You would do better to shop elsewhere. The prices are not worth the hassle. Customer service is non-existent. Supervisors do not help.
Customers should be alerted that this company has a no return policy. I never dawned on me that an online clothing retailer would not return or exchange sizes. There is a small notice on the order page that states that by placing an order you agree to their terms and conditions, but i didnt notice that when i ordered. I ordered a dress in medium which does fit nicely but i also ordered a denim tunic in xl that doesnt even fit my bust or arms. With erratic sizing, the no return policy certainly not customer friendly
They sent me the wrong item. The only thing remotely close was the color and it was a top but it was clearly not what I ordered. When I called them to return the item they expect me to pay the return fee and to pay to ship the correct item again to me. They informed me since I had never made a return the book do it one time but if this ever happens again it was my financial responsibility. Needless to say they did not ship me the correct item at all but waived the nine dollar return fee. As if I had any control that somebody sent me the wrong item. I will never order from them again and will tell everyone I know how horrible I was treated. So much for customer service someone needs to give him some lessons on how to treat their customers
I have literally been waiting for hours for a response from them on their "usually replies instantly" messenger. All to find out why I haven't gotten my refund for some things I bought that were horrifically fitted, advertised, and awful quality. Plus they charged me to return this garbage that I spent my money on. Not that I've gotten my refund yet. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. COMPLETE RIP OFF. TERRIBLE QUALITY PRODUCTS AS WELL AS SERVICE!
I actually LOVE to shop Zulily, I am sad about this review however over the past 5 days I have had the WORST customer service ever! My phone froze and purchased almost $100 of items in my cart, and cleared my bank account. As soon as I noticed I called Zulily and was told that because the transaction had happened not even an hour ago that I should see the funds back in my account within hours. NOT THE CASE! I let the weekend go, and waiting until Monday, still nothing. I e-mailed and was told 3-5 buisness days. This is 100% unacceptable! Zulily used to not ask you to return things that they shipped incorrectly or sold to you incorrectly, they would give you a credit and ask you to donate the items. (Which I always do / did) Now they want you to go through the hassle of sending Items back, after you waited close to 3 weeks or longer to get your item. If they are going to act like big business retailer, then I accept fund to be returned same day just like a big business retailer. NOT the case. I wish I could say I will never shop here again, but the kids clothes are just too damn cute, I will however be looking at Amazon before I make a final purchase as most of time I can find the same thing, cheaper priced, and always have free shipping and get it faster. That's another thing, after I make a purchase I don't get my free shipping for a day or two anymore! LAME LAME LAME: (
Been shopping at Zulily for awhile. Some of the stuff are cheap but not of great quality. Shoes sizing never true to size and same with clothes. I asked for return of shoes and no return option but they refunded the money. Can't return clothes because you have to pay for the shipping fee.
I won't shop at Zulily anymore and will deactivate the app. I've wasted so much money already.
I ordered 2 coats, I received one, the size chart is WAY off, ordered my size, plus added one size up, because I like loose fitting. I couldn't even get my arm into the sleeve. This order was placed over a month ago, I have never received the second coat, and cannot seem to get anyone to respond from C. S. real people I talk to about zulily say to stay away, I'm beginning to think their reviews are from the company itself... not impressed
I just received an email that my item has not even been sent out of zulilly and the order was placed over a month ago. "Do you still want this item?" it asks me in an email after saying it has no ship date in sight now, that my money will be refunded if it isn't sent within 30 days from THE EMAIL. This is the third time this has happened to me. I'm DONE.
I recently purchased a piece of furniture from Zulily and product was delivered defective missing critical pieces upon contact with customer service 6 times in reference to return of defective item I was directed to donate the defective item to charity and present them with a copy of the receipt for a refund.
I received the wrong color shoes. Called they told me they would send the correct color and just keep the first pair as a gift. I have ordered many items, takes time unless it says it ships that day but have always loved everything I have purchased. Excellent company
I bought a quilt set and I don't know what I was expecting for the low price that I paid for it but I got exactly what I paid for low quality if I had paid full price for this quilt it would have went back in a heartbeat
I have been using Zulily for about 2 years now. The only reason I still use the site is because I can actually find plus sized clothing, BUT and this is a big BUT (pun intended) it takes alot of searching and homework before I find something suitable. You can't just look at something and like it and add it too the checkout. If you do you will be thoroughly disappointed when you get it. You have to first and foremost, google the item to see if you are actually getting the "huge" deal they always say you are. Zulily will put a big price and then slash it by a percentage and tell you what a fantastic deal you are getting ex. 80% saving - 100.00 regular,... you are paying 20.00. Well if you google the item you more often than not, find you are paying the regular price for the item at 20.00 or you can actually find the item being sold cheaper than 20.00 elsewhere... happens alot. So buyer beware. Also another thing that happens alot, the materials that the clothing is made from are not the best. Most times you see something that fits a model beautifully is actually a material that is not going to hang quite so well on you. I find this happens alot with the Rayon/Polyester/spandex tops which most of Zulily clothing is made from (cheap). If something is made from a quality material and looks nice, you are going to pay dearly for it. Remember that Zulily is an outlet store so you are probably eventually going to receive something that is either smoke damaged or defective, I have. I contact customer service and get a credit (they don't do refunds or returns). So armed with this knowledge, if you check out Zulily you will know in advance what to be aware of.
I ordered shoes and a purse for my daughter's b-day. They were lovely. Shoes were great and she has a hard fit(examine descriptions carefully)I know it takes long for orders to arrive. 3 wks. Is not bad to receive the discounts, really. I did email them that the delivery date they were giving me was too late for my daughter's b-day and the order came well in time. I ordered a shirt for myself in a medium and was sent an x-lrg. I called customer service, got a wonderful agent who refunded my money and had me print out a return label to drop in the mail. I've ordered for the holidays and am expecting good service. Given the other reviews, I may change my mind.
Ordered 2 tops same size - one fits one is way too small. First, it took 2 weeks to receive the items. Once received, they are both labeled the same size, but, one is significantly smaller. When I asked to return for a larger size I was told they don't do that. I can return (minus shipping fee), and I can reorder the item I want. NOT worth it! I'll give the second item away instead. Note: The material used is cheap and I don't expect the top to last through the season..
Ordered on 11. 10. 17., shipped from USA 24 days later; on 8. 11. 17. Still in California, now it has to reach Australia. My estimate: 5 weeks min to receive my order.
I will never again order a product from Zulily! I ordered a pair of boots for my daughter and it will have taken just about a month for them to arrive. I have never waited so long for a product in my life! Yes they may offer free shipping but it definitely comes with a price. You wait a ridiculous amount of time before your order arrives! Never again!
Wish I knew what I know now... My card was promptly charged for the purchase, but have yet to receive my order. You can order from so many other online retailers (pay less) and receive the items in a day or two. How do they stay in business?
Answer: Zulily has awesome customer service! I have nothing bad to say about them! Definitely worth ordering from them... I have been happy every time (& I use it a lot!)
Answer: I have never ordered shoes from them but I agree that they likely vary according to brand. Contrary to other comments (that I am very suspicious of...) I have never waited a long time and the quality has always been as shown. There are so many rip-off sites out there and I suspect some hire people to post phony negative reviews on the 'good' sites. I do not recommend searching for cheaper products - you'll end up on a bogus, cheap site. I now research every site name and sift through comments - its exhausting but has saved me from spending money on sites that were not good.
Answer: Got money to burn? Order from Zulily. There isn't enough room on the Internet to list all the reasons you should NOT order from them!
Answer: Nope... no returns accept and good luck on getting a refund. Stay away from this site.
Answer: It could be a week or it could be 3 months. But my advice would be not to order at all. The sizes are never right (a small may fit someone that wears a large or it may be too small for an infant) and the quality sucks (the fabric on a dress I bought is so thin you can see through 4 layers). STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!
Answer: Wrong size, no return policy. Beware don't order from them
Answer: Sorry I don't know the answer, but it could explain why everything is so cheap
Answer: Yes, it may take that long, but they are up front about that on the item description page. I have never had a problem with them.
Answer: Let me just put this out there. The people who bought things from Zulily (and are unhappy with their purchases), probably didn't research the brand before they bought it. Think of Zulily like Marshalls or TJMaxx. That's what Zulily is, in online form. I just bought a hoodie from them, and researched the brand before I bought it. The particular hoodie was being discontinued, so they were selling it very cheaply. I bought it, and it is the real deal, originally $89. So research the brand. And don't expect your purchase quickly. They wait until they have enough orders to bulk purchase (another reason why their prices are low), before they buy. So it'll be a few weeks before you get it. I hope this helps.
Answer: If you bought them from Zulily, you might see about making your granddaughters feet smaller. I'm sure that's easier than dealing with Zulily.
