Anyone else shop waaaay too much at Zulily?

Seriously, I probably order from there once a week. I need to stop, but it has such great deals.

Stopped shopping on Zulily after it took about two months for my first order to arrive.

Me too. My kid outgrew what I bought before the item arrived. Horrible service.

Babysteals.com and Kidsteals.com ship much, much faster and often have similar items as Zulily at a cheaper price. Love them! I do occasionally still buy from Zulily, but I know to expect: a) a long wait for my item, and b) that occasionally they'll not be able to fill my order.

Yup, agree with the PPs that it took too long to arrive. Plus, after doing some searching on Amazon and in other places, I realized that with shipping, I really wasn't getting great bargains at all.

I'm not into buying just for a deal. It's like people who overspend at Costco. It's bad financial management..

They rarely have what I'm looking for when I'm looking. So, no.

I ordered something for my little cousin for her birthday in early Oct and it JUST arrived. Awful!!!

Comparision shop online to check if it is really a deal. If it is, wait and see if you even remember the item the next day. If you still can't stop shopping, remove yourself from their email list. They don't sell anything truly necessary.

Same here. Takes forever for things to ship. Once I bought something, and after about 3 months they cancelled the order because it was out of stock. Didn't give me my money back though-- just a credit. Are you friggin kidding me? Horrible, horrible company.

Please tell me you bought the maternity thong with "It's a Boy" encrusted in jewels (Real Zulily offering).

[Anonymous]

I'm very unhappy with the quality and the prices are not that good if you shop around. The fac that I can't return stuff is also a deal breaker or me. never again.

[Anonymous]

No, I don't. I buy very, very occasionally. First of all, I make sure to comparison shop -- 8/10 times, I can find the same item for less (sometimes substantially less) on regular online retailers like Amazon. I'm also annoyed by how long it takes for them to procure and then ship the item. And I've taken some chances on lesser known designers and relied on their size charts. Too many times I've gotten things that are the wrong size and then you're just SOL.

YES! They've had some fantastic deals lately and I haven't been able to resist (Uppa Baby strollers, maternity wear, Robeez).

I've found that they've delivered things when they said they would and that the goods are as you'd expect them to be. Love Zulily!

[Anonymous]

I love Zulily too! I've gotten a bunch of stuff on there, for both myself and DC. I order something maybe once a month?
It DOES take a long time to ship, but I don't mind as I've never ordered something with a deadline in mind.
They've been unable to send me something ONCE and they immediately refunded me AND gave me additional credit.

I've heard the same complaints that are posted here from other people too though. So I don't know if I've just been lucky or what. And yes, there is some tacky, tacky crap that they sell.

This exactly. If wasn't planning to shop that day, then it's costing me more, no matter how good the deal. Plus, if you are not online 24/7, all the good sizes are gone.
