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.

It's like they post pics of name brand products but in actuality you are buying a knock off! Never again will I waste my money on such crap!
I've given zulily a few chances... the majority of the time I'm super disappointed. It takes FOREVER for the order to arrive... several items were not as described, it's a roll of the dice if the size you order will be even close to accurate. I have ordered several different items at different price points, and the quality of most items is fair at best. I've seen many of the same items for sale on Amazon for about the same price, and you can have them in a day or two, if you need to return an item Amazon will also do that... Zulily will not, goodbye Zulily I'm so over you.
You place an order, then they order your item from other places, other COUNTRIES! Sizes are always off even with their "size charts". They also don't give refunds most of the time. They will if item is defective. Going by the size charts, your clothes will usually be too big! I usually order my regular size but it depends on the country. Their charts don't help. They will say a size 10, for instance, is a 42 inch bust. NO WAY! Be very careful. They do have nice sales on jewelry sometimes and that merchandise is nice! Buyer beware!
I ordered two tops - they took forever to arrive and when they did they were not at all as pictured. The necklines were different, colors weren't the same, lengths were different than pictured. I wish I had seen their no return policy, as when I went online in an attempt to return I found that they have lots of detailed information on their products - and it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find their return policy (which is NOT). They lure you with cute looking clothes, but what you get is trash. I can't even think of anyone I'd want to give them to - they are going straight into my thrift store donations.
I ordered 3 Tunic dresses and when they finally arrived I just loved them but they were to large. I emailed Zulily and they responded quickly which was also great but they didnt read my email and answer my question. Finally one person did answer my question and even put 3 of the same dresses in my cart if I wanted them! I will be danged if after explaining the 2x dress were to large I needed to order a smaller size they put 3x dresses in my cart! So deleted and went to order the 1x and they are all out! They do not read email they scan over it and guess what you want. I emailed 6 times and they never got it right! If you can't get a small matter cleared up in 6 emails of needing a smaller size I am done!
I wrote a review last year and see recent ones from people that are very negative, mostly one time issues they are having... this is the thing with online reviews, people, take everything with a grain of salt the bad and even the good reviews. Maybe Ive been lucky, or maybe people are just super negative with outrageous expectations that couldnt be satisfied no matter how good the service or quality is.
Anyways been over a year that Ive been using them and Im still super happy with the selection, the ordering process, the delivery, and returns Ive had to do simply because of the reality of guesstimating sizes online which you cant impose that responsibility on anyone but yourself! Give them a try!
I've been waiting for a month to receive my order. I track the package, and it's bouncing around in New Jersey. I've already paid the credit card bill, but may file an appeal. Not a good way of doing business for sure. They advertised Free Shipping of over $35. My order was over $35 and I was charged shipping. They said it's Free Shipping on the Second Order of the Day. Now that just not make sense to me at all.
Nasty fabric and colours - Looked nothing like the advertisement. I will not ever buy from them again. I will let my friends know not to get stung like I did. I was very disappointed. I guess i understand now why they have a no-return policy.
I've now ordered from them twice. The first time I got 4 dresses at about $10 each. They are super cute and comfortable, good quality, and fit as expected. Just ordered another top. It wasn't quite the color I expected, it's a little smaller than expected, and there's a minor spot I might sew up straight. Both times my order took 2-3 weeks to arrive. Based on all the bad reviews, I'll only purchase stuff from them that is very reasonably priced, that I wouldn't be terribly upset over if its not what I expect. My personal experience has been pleasant surprise though.
I ordered two tunics from zuli ly. Took a long time to arrive which was difficult for an Amazon Prime member. But the tunics are terrific, fit perfectly, and look beautiful. I will order more products from them when I don't need them quickly.
Ordered a number to tops. They were such poor quality I sent them to Good Will. I now know why they have a no return policy. The items looked nothing like what was pictured.
I wish I had checked the reviews before making a purchase. First of all I paid by PayPal, they billed my account weeks before they shipped anything. 4 weeks after I paid they credited me for 1 item that they canceled. It is six weeks and I am still waiting for 3 items to arrive.
Received my orders were:!, item numbers. Were right but the dress were wrong. 2,
Two solar lanterns were not work at all. I check the website, no return policy.
It says": What if my order arrives incomplete, incorrect, damaged or defective?
Well work to resolve the problem immediately simply contact us at *******@zulily.com for a quick respons"
I will never order from Zulily again & will warn all friends not to order. I ordered 7/26 & received confirmation. Still I have not received as of today 8/22. Ridiculous length of time
I have given feedback to Zulily, about the sizing as many items I have bought, even after following the size guide, have been too small. The best advice I can give is to really know the brands on Zulily, and how that brand fits, as sizing is ALL OVER THE PLACE!
It took a few weeks to receive but love my top. Good quality and comfort. No issues at all with the product.
If you order from Zulily.com then you're taking a gamble on when your order will arrive.
All of my items had their rocket symbol stating the item is in stock and ships within 1-2 days. This was important to me because I needed my order by a certain date. I paid additional shipping to ensure there would be no problems.
I received 4 out of 12 items. I had to contact Zulily to see where the rest of my items. They told me just because items SAY they will ship in 1-2 days doesn't mean they will because they could sell out. Then why have it? No answer. Now I have to wait another 5-7 business days for the refund they owe me. Of course I'm out the extra shipping cost.
STAY well a way from this company, l purchased four pairs of ladies panties as a package deal over three months ago at a total price of $10, cheap l thought we'll NO when l checked the email confirming my purchase l was really annoyed to see that my credit card was charged $35 in total, $20 being the price for the panties which were clearly advertised for $10 and a further $15 for postage. I immediately contacted the company straight back to bring this to their attention they chose to completely ignore my email and never contacted me back, then after waiting eight weeks for my purchase which never showed up l sent them an another email which again went unanswered and was totally ignored once again, after another three weeks l sent them another email informing them that l still had not received my purchase. This time they sent me back an email stating that their comany orders the product though an independent company and then when they receive it they will then forward on to me and will send me an email with the postage details. Two weeks following this email they sent me a request for feed back, when l informed them that l would not leave feed back as l never recived my purchase and would like a full refund of my order they again totally ignored my email. So to date I am $35 down for a purchase that l never recived and NO refund so stay well away from this company They should be put out of business.
How are they still allowed to advertise on Facebook when the complaints definitely outnumber any good comments... I would never order from them..
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.
