And I always buy a pair of socks or something, to get free shipping for the rest of the day. For example, Nui organics makes really nice wool clothes, and when they are on zulilly they are usually priced below what they sell for when they go on sale at NUi. Not by much, and the final markdowns at Nui go below that but by that point the sizes are all gone.</p> <p>Some brands definitely seem to use it to clear out old season stuff. Zutano is another brand where I've gotten some legitimately good deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1802391 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 02:08:37 +0000 lemondrop 1802391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been having great luck with them lately, their shipping has really sped up. It used to be 4-5 weeks, but now I get most things in a week or two. I'm pretty happy with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1801472 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:30:18 +0000 snowjewelz 1801472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to browse... I've ordered maybe twice from them now? It's usually on brand name stuff that's actually a good deal (I think I got Toms last time) or weird stuff they you can't really find anywhere else. I agree that their shipping ($ &amp; timeframe) sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1801034 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 12:08:24 +0000 Grace 1801034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only use it for cute clothes for LO that I can't get in my city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800942 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 11:34:18 +0000 Boogs 1800942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their shipping makes their "deals" not really deals. The only thing I would personally buy from their is a certain brand of shoes for LO because those usually are a good deal and I can't ever find them anywhere else. But, they never seem to have sizes and almost never sell them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800875 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 11:17:43 +0000 edelweiss 1800875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>agreed. i feel like unsubscribing, but i don't want to miss some incredible deal. i did buy some sneakers for myself that were a great deal, but everything else i've found cheaper or not worth it with the shipping and no returns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800864 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 11:12:24 +0000 littlek 1800864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I agree, the shipping is ridiculous. I feel like amazon has better deals if you wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800823 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:52:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1800823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In general, I don't think they're worth it... and not only does shipping take forever and a day, but their return policy is horrible too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800818 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:50:15 +0000 matador84 1800818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it just depends on the item. I bought a hair straightener for 11$ because mine broke, even with shipping it's cheaper than the store. It's def hit or miss and annoying how they place a group order when deal is over THEN Zulily ships it--this taking forever!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800801 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:44:13 +0000 CakeLady 1800801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the stuff isn't worth it, but I have gotten a few good deals. I keep an eye out for things I know I want/need, I don't but anything I'm not familiar with brand-wise. Also higher price items tend to be a better value - bigger discounts and the shipping doesn't totally negate the savings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800722 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:15:26 +0000 bunnylove08 1800722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always cross check with other retailers and the actual website to see if I'm getting a deal. I find some items you are only saving a dollar or two but you get over charged because of the shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800712 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 10:10:15 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1800712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't order from them because of the glacial shipping speed. I guess Prime has spoiled me, but a seriously, three weeks for some kids' crap is no bueno. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800658 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:50:20 +0000 cascademom 1800658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten great deals on there. Recently, they did a blowout deal where I got a toy bookcase shelf for half of what it normally costs. I got our changing table on there for at least $100 less than what we were prepared to pay and registered for. If you follow a few brands, it's worth it. </p> <p>I sort of treat it like Amazon Prime with the paid free shipping. If you see things you need or desire, free shipping and a wait time isn't that big of a deal. I order from there knowing that it'll take awhile to ship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800586 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:19:05 +0000 Mamaof2 1800586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: yep! I wanted 2 pairs of shoes - shipping for both was $9.99 but shipping for 1 was $5.99 - so I ordered one then went back and ordered the 2nd pair shipped for free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800581 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:16:26 +0000 Smurfette 1800581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I double check pricing on amazon. And I only order if I am buying a couple things to justify shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800576 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:14:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1800576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their shipping cost generally negates any discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800562 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:10:50 +0000 swurlygurl 1800562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: @Mamaof2: Smart thinking! I was a little shocked when I got an email telling me I had free shipping the rest of the day. Too bad there was nothing else good on there that day :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800558 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:09:59 +0000 swurlygurl 1800558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last thing I bought on there was a Jellycat doll for Sis that I was going to get anyway. After their 'deal' and shipping it was still cheaper than buying it anywhere else, but only by a couple dollars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800516 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:56:32 +0000 JerricaBenton 1800516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten great deals, but I always check amazon first. I'll check the brand website if there is one. Sometimes the stuff on Zulily is on sale on their regular website with cheaper shipping. If I see something I love, I'll get something else cheap for the cheapest shipping, then order whatever else with the free shipping you get for the rest of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800514 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:56:11 +0000 StrawberryBee 1800514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do what @Mamaof2: does; order one light thing, and then the other items ship free. I've used them for certain things -- personalized plates, for instance, and a dress for E once. Most of the time I research the thing they're offering and see if I can find it elsewhere cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800513 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:55:41 +0000 dolphin 1800513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate their shipping fee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800510 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:55:18 +0000 Dandelion 1800510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never shop there anymore. I do check Steals everyday, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800500 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:52:01 +0000 BlueWolverine 1800500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. I ordered a few things, it took forever, and I wasn't really impressed with what I received. I need to unsubscribe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800498 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:51:17 +0000 Mamaof2 1800498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gotten good deals on shoes - the trick is you order a lightweight item 1st and then place all your other orders since they will ship free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800496 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:50:43 +0000 SeptMomma12 1800496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. I stopped even looking at it. Almost everything is the same price or cheaper on Amazon, especially when you consider Zulily's ridiculous shipping. And I hate waiting two months for things to arrive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800493 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:49:13 +0000 Boheme 1800493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even look there anymore! I ordered a book that had sound buttons, and several of them didn't work! They wouldn't let me return or exchange it. I'm not a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800489 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:48:06 +0000 sunny 1800489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have yet to see an actual amazing deal on Zulily once shipping is factored in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800488 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:47:33 +0000 RsMom 1800488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree. I've only ordered one thing and it took two months to arrive so I haven't ordered anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800484 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:47:12 +0000 mediagirl 1800484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally agree. I can find better deals on other sale sites and sometimes I find the same thing cheaper on Amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zulily-actual-deal#post-1800483 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:47:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1800483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really stopped looking there. My biggest issue is that the shipping takes FOREVER! </p>
