It's not a good deal if your kid outgrows it before you get it in the mail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2320072 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 17:01:53 +0000 littlejoy 2320072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The refunded my money for the leggings, which is nice. I'll use the credit towards a toy (no sizing issues), that has good reviews on Amazon. </p> <p>Lesson learned. No more clothing/shoes on Zulily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319982 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:02:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2319982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had a bad experience with them. But I typically only buy brands that I am already familiar with! Toms, cake lingerie, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319981 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:01:34 +0000 cheert16 2319981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shipping takes SOOOO long. I have stopped buying! I would rather just find something else and have it shipped (for cheaper!) faster! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319936 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:37:35 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2319936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>their sizing on boutique items is large and frustrating but there are some really unique and adorable things too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319930 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:32:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2319930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've actually had a lot of luck with them by using the following rules:<br /> try to shop the "last day" stuff if I want something faster<br /> price check with other sites, factoring in the shipping costs<br /> size up with clothing for me<br /> all the accessories (jewelry) have been awesome<br /> on Halo the deals can't be beat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319817 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:37:10 +0000 littlejoy 2319817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leighleigh: Oh no! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319780 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:21:35 +0000 leighleigh 2319780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're terrible as well. As if their shipping isn't bad enough, I've had trouble more than once with sizing, and also with the descriptions not really matching the item. I bought a pair of New Balance sneakers thinking they'd be 'safe'... they were advertised as running shoes, but when I received them they were specifically made for dance. DANCE SNEAKERS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319694 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:29:32 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2319694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the concept, but I stick to non-clothing items. Everything I've tried was either way too small or way too big. The last thing I got (two hats for my girls), I called and they gave me a credit for the items because, even after looking at the size chart, they were way too small for their heads. So, now I have a $30 credit and nothing to spend it on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319666 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:17:55 +0000 littlejoy 2319666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did have luck with our carrier ... it was the first thing we purchased when pregnant. (Ergo + insert for like $80). It was amazing. Then, I ordered two organic layette type outfits for the newborn days, and they were perfect. But everyone is right: these items were "high-end" and turned out as expected.</p> <p>It's the little (I hate to say cheap) things that just fit so horribly. </p> <p>I think I'll stick with it for toys/brand name, and ignore the "omg, fleece lined leggings for $5!" sales. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319328 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 11:04:28 +0000 PawPrints 2319328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy it more for window shopping than for actual purchases. I did get a very cute crochet animals book for MIL for Christmas, and just ordered a couple of nursing tops/dresses from the Momzelle sale (but I looked up the specific items on Amazon first to read reviews). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319252 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:35:19 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2319252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only bought Hanna Andeson pjs, so I knew what size to get. My neighbor buys clothes all the time and the sizing is off a lot, so she gives them away. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit right anyway, so I probably wouldn't but clothes from there based on her experience. </p> <p>I don't think the pricing is really that great for most things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2319030 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:08:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2319030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their customer service is great! I tend to not buy clothes but I've bought Toms, Coobie bras, etc and each time I had an issue they just refunded me in credits and I kept the product! </p> <p>Their shipping sucks so it is the only thing to keep in mind if you need something soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318851 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 08:07:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 2318851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten some random maternity and baby clothes that I like, and some other one-off items, but the shipping time makes me nuts (I'm spoiled by Prime, though...). I like browsing, though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318841 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 08:01:32 +0000 blackbird 2318841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is kind of a crapshoot! But i have gotten some really cute and random tunics from Zulily. I've had a lot of shit get cancelled, though, so you have to not be extremely invested, I say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318818 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:49:00 +0000 lawbee11 2318818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan...shipping takes forever. And I don't think their deals are that great either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318813 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:47:18 +0000 catomd00 2318813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate zulilly! I don't get the hype about it. I have successfully ordered a pair of stride rite shoes once. It was good because I already knew the brand and the size I needed. Three other times my order has been cancelled! Also the shipping takes forever. By the time you get it your kid will have outgrown it. Not worth the savings in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318812 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:46:42 +0000 twodoghouse 2318812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shipping takes sooo long. I usually stick with brands I'm familiar with (i.e. When the Tea sale comes up or Melissa &amp; Doug) so I know the sizing. But I am careful about the pricing because sometimes the Zulily prices are not much of a deal and the shipping can add quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318808 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:43:33 +0000 mediagirl 2318808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shipping at Zulily is ridiculous. I have only bought one thing from them and it was a brand I know and an item that I really, really wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318763 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:19:19 +0000 PinkElephant 2318763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only things I've bought there are name brand items like others have mentioned, so I already know the fit and quality. But other than nursing bras (HotMilk), i think pretty much everything on Zulilly is available cheaper elsewhere if catch a sale/use a discount.</p> <p>It IS a rabbit hole of cute, random stuff I don't need though...I try to stay away from browsing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318756 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:05:27 +0000 Smurfette 2318756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had bad luck with sizes. Their shipping takes forever so I don't order much. I also don't order unless I am getting multiple things are once, otherwise shipping is too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318725 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:27:39 +0000 Ajsmommy 2318725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered DD an outfit and they sent the wrong size. I contacted customer service and they simply refunded me and I kept the outfit. </p> <p>I agree though that the shipping is weird/long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318719 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:11:30 +0000 ms.line 2318719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently bought a maternity dress as my first Zulily purchase. It wasn't that cheap to begin with, shipping charges were ridic, it took forever to arrive, and the sizing is WAY off. Never again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318718 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:09:04 +0000 creativemomma15 2318718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had good experiences but haven't bought clothes for myself, just Toms. The kids clothes always work out well. We had a problem once with a balance bike we bought for DS. It just wasn't quite like I expected so I called and they fully refunded my money and told me to keep the bike. My mom has had some mix ups but whenever she calls they have her keep the item but refund her money. My experiences with customer service have always been great and make it worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318705 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 04:59:55 +0000 BandDmommy 2318705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I don't like the shipping! Takes forever!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318697 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 02:50:02 +0000 Eko 2318697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the bigger brand names I had luck with; toms, naturalizer boots. Also I buy accessories. I gave up on most of the clothes as they seemed to always run small. I hardly shop there at all anymore. Even LO cloths I find cheaper elsewhere and I think the shipping is ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318683 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 00:15:14 +0000 808love 2318683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are pretty good. Can't beat the deals! But I don't like the slow shipping and one thing was canceled several weeks I ordered the item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318667 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 23:40:56 +0000 lemondrop 2318667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them!<br /> I have no problem buying all the things! Very few things have I actually been unhappy with, and I was able to pass them along without any issues. Right now I'm on a buying hiatus due to some work instability, but I can't wait to browse and buy again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-zulily-the-worst#post-2318649 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 23:03:50 +0000 Meowkers 2318649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom buys A LOT of clothes on Zulily for my LO. The few times that she has had problems with items she contacted their customer service and they refunded her the money and told her to keep the item. </p>
