Zulily

I made my first purchase from Zulily last week, and just found out someone applied for a Zulily Credit Card using all my personal information (it occurred the same day I made my purchase). They used the information I never provided to begin with, such as my Social Security number!

When I spoke with their "Fraud Department" they rejected the application, but did nothing to investigate how this could have happened.

They actually asked me to verify my FULL SS# over the phone so they could "look up the application." That seemed super sketchy to me. After refusing to give that info, the CSR easily found the application by simply using my name. I was told the person used ALL of my personal/confidential info, which is terrifying, as I never provided most of the info they used to apply.

Now I have to make sure this did not affect my credit score, and monitor my credit report to make sure no other credit cards were applied for. I had to call several credit bureaus and notify them of the situation, and have everything frozen. Absolutely ridiculous, and a HUGE waste of time.

All this hassle just for some clothes I ordered. I will never order from them again! Terrible security and customer service. I read other reviews and unhappy customers were given gift cards, discounts, etc. They were not even apologetic or concerned. It's unfortunate, because they have a lot of cool stuff, but I will not deal with them again. If I could give zero stars on this review, I would.

Just thought I'd warn everyone. Nobody should have to worry about confidential information being stolen and used - especially information that was never provided in the first place...super shady!

UPDATE: They take forever to get items shipped, even when they have them in stock. You can't rely on their shipping updates at all. If you have a question about an order, don't expect a reply. Be careful, and don't waste your time, as I unfortunately have.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Ordered 2 art craft sets on March 30th. Still have not received. Know it's unusual times but ordered from Wayfair and had delivery in 2 days. Ordered Amazon and had order in 4 days. One month waiting is unacceptable.

I ordered shoes, got them at a great price not gonna lie, but it had the little rocket symbol which means it ships faster because they have it in stock at their warehouse...Well, I ordered the shoes, got my confirmation email that says will ship out by 03/03, well, they still haven’t shipped and I called and they said it’s because I didn’t spend the extra money for the shipping. That shouldn’t matter. If you tell someone it will ship by a date then ship it, don’t tell them it will ship on 03/20 when the confirmation email says 03/03. And the lady I talked to was not that friendly or polite. I ordered the shoes because they had the rocket and were supposed to ship out faster, and according to my confirmation email it was supposed to be shipped 03/03, it does not say will ship out by 03/20!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Seriously, this will be short because they delete the factual comments within 8 hours anyway.

For some people, they comment as if they like it and I searched a good bit for those on People Search. Most of the overtly positive reviews are fakes and can't be verified, so this here is fraud.

I shopped at Zulily for years and I never returned an item. I had an issue with an item last year and they never fixed it. I still gave them a chance until I bought a watch for $340 and as soon as it arrived I saw it wasn’t functioning at all. I called in, they refused to return or exchange, they asked me to contact Citizen warranty (noting that the watch was brand new) and when I called Citizen, they assured me that they cannot cover anything that is not bought from a Citizen dealer and Zulily is not one of them. I even asked Zulily for a sales slip as they request and they never even provided that. They sent me the warranty that I can look up online. The manager itself hung up on me and customer service didn’t communicate with me because they don’t care about their clients. I just wasted $340 that I worked very hard to make because I trusted this company.

Never fall for them, go buy your stuff for the same price and most of the time it’s cheaper somewhere else. Better than regretting it later.

Worst company ever created. I will die before I waste another penny with them or support them in any way. I had more than 9 people of my friends and family referred by me, I made them all stop using it and I will spread the word as long as I’m breathing.

Go online and look for all the cases against their company and you will never give them business.

The Melissa and dough puzzles ordered on Zulily reached with completely good packaging. The magnetic toy set was offered at a price that was very competitive. I love Zulily. I got free shipping on consecutive orders for the weekend. So the products were good.

I ordered from Zulily for the first time on 11/06. I was anxious to receive my items which took 2 and 1/2 weeks. Needless to say, I do not feel this is an acceptable time frame since everything was "in stock" and nothing was back-ordered. They did finally arrive so let's see the products as the excitement slowly drained.

Sweater #1 - The neck was so tight I couldn't get it over my head.

Shirt #2 - The upper arms were so tight they were uncomfortable yet the rest of the shirt fit correctly and I must add I am not a "big" girl. Only 5' 3" and 119 lbs.

Well, sweater #3 sorta fit even though the shoulders hung 2+ inches down my arm and the workmanship was of poor quality. The sweater is white and blue and the sides were sewed with dark blue thread, the seams are loose where the thread sticks out like a sore thumb on one side.

Last I ordered some "fleece" lined leggings (thinking I could wear them in the northern cold temperatures). They were made of an almost silky material with very minimal "fleece" inside. Definitely, not as portrayed on the website.

Well, figured I would return them BUT wait. They only have the terms of returns on a multi-page attachment and it is not really clear. To return items they subtract a handling charge of $8.95 per return (at least that is what they are charging me) and let's not forget...this will be "refunded in a store credit" I DO NOT GET ANY MONEY REFUNDED! I do 90% of my shopping online and I hate to say it but this was by far the most disappointing shopping trip ever.

I accidentally hit the "proceed to check out" because it was down on the bottom of my back button. So when I realized I did it I canceled the orders. I know it was my fault for not paying attention but I canceled both of them within seconds and to get my money back can take up to 10 days, that's ridiculous. I think it should go right back into our account. What if someone needs that money right away, what a shame. Because of this, I will not do business with them ever again.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered a silver neck collar and instead the company sent a tiny bracelet. I hope they rectify this, otherwise, I will go to PayPal and retrieve the money. Is this a scam company?

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been purchasing items from Zulily for years and the odd time that I need to contact customer service, they have always been professional and pleasant to deal with. Never have I had a bad experience with them.

I ordered several items for my grandchildren two weeks ago with the expectation that the items would arrive in three weeks. I planned on taking the items with me to California for my grandson's birthday. When a few of the items arrived, I checked my order, at first they claimed one of the items I ordered was delivered. That information was quickly changed and blamed on a discrepancy in the delivery scans. They told me to contact UPS, which made no sense because that same item along with all of the other missing items now show they will not even be mailed out until April 6 and I need to allow an addition 1 to 2 weeks for delivery. I have tried to cancel my order and they will not let me, even though they claim it has not even left the building and won't for 15 more days.

They have some cute stuff, but unless you have two months to wait for items it just is not worth the hassle. Their customer service is non-existent.

PS - The only reason they get a star is the items are sometimes nice even though they take three times as long to get to you as promised and they take their money immediately.
