QVC and Zulilly

Day1128 — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 21:12:01 GMT

QVC's main page had a picture of Keen sandals which I wanted to look at. Since Zulilly was part of this picture of the sandals, when I clicked on the image, I had a screen pop up where I had to sign up with Zulilly to get more info on the sandals. No option to just look. No thanks. I don't need to create another account, even if free, to just look at sandals online. I'll go over to Zappos or Amazon and spend my money there.

I agree wholeheartedly. I want to browse, and usually that ends up with something purchased. But to sign up w/my email addr is a no go. I have a yahoo addr, and I already get a ton of spam which I think yahoo promotes by selling our email addresses. Zulilly is just preventing a lot of sales because of this stupid requirement, and I can't be the only one who feels this way.

I wasn't crazy about it, but I wanted to see what all buzz was about. One example, a pair of Earth booties that are normally $130 from Zappos and the Q, just $100 at Zulily. I purchase from them regularly. Their shipping is slow, but if you are sure of your size, you can get some great deals.

I can't say that I got anymore junk mail than I was already getting.

I made the mistake of signing in at Rue La La once, so when Zulily asked for my email, I just clicked off. Not happening.

If I want to look, I want to look --and old ladies do learn new tricks. I doubt Zulily will lose any money from me though - nothing I've seen on their myriad pop-ups on my email site were anything I'd consider. Some cute clothes, just not going to be on me.

First, Zulily is not part of QVC. They are just owned by the same parent company. Refuse to give them your email address if you wish, but you're making a big mistake. They have the most fantastic shoe deals on the Internet, all fresh from the factory having never been touched until you get them.

They do nothing with your email address but advise you of the daily specials and you can opt out of that if you wish. I've shopped there for 2+ years and have bought some really nice things and had a lot of fun.

I don't buy their clothing...don't like the way it looks.

They are a very ethical company with great CS.

Zulilly is great. their products are all 1st rate and they have a really good customer service. The only problem I have with them is the lenght of time it takes to get your order, it can be really long.

QVC recently purchased Zulily, so they do belong to QVC! I hope it helps them survive, but the QVC sign in should work at both sites now! Maybe the webmaster can set that up too!

QVC DID NOT purchase Zulily. The company that owns QVC purchased Zulily. They each have their own CEO and operate independently.

@Debbyrg You need to get your facts straight before posting.

"Liberty Interactive Corporation, the owner of TV shopping network QVC, is acquiring shopping site Zulily for roughly $2.4 billion in a move to create a "digital commerce powerhouse,"

If you have an ipad, download the Zulily ipad app so you can look at the Zulily site without using a web browser. You don't have to give them an email address or sign up to view Zulily through their app. That's what I do as I do not want to sign up to Zulily either.

I had my facts straight! Everywhere you read it says QVC bought Zulily. And if they were bought by the company who owns Qvc then Qvc bought Zulily!

And again this is a forum where ideas should be fostered. Have a great day!

I don't understand what the big deal is with giving your email? I have been shopping with Zulily for years, and I don't get any emails. I like them but their shipping is so slow. I was hoping that with qvc acquiring them it would changed, no luck so far. I love their kids stuff, so cute and so cheap.

@Debbyrg Ideas that are blatantly wrong should not be fostered anywhere. You need a basic understanding of how corporate America works because you surely don't have it now. Zulily is owned by Liberty Interactive Corporation, not QVC.

Zulilly just asks for the E-mail and of you have to enter ur password.

You may get E-mails from them, but what they send u is only good for about 1/2 days.

I find it interesting. they have some pretty good prices. I have noticed, tho, ever since the Q announced their "partnership" with them, they have been putting the Q's merchandise on their Pages. Zulilly had Vera Bradley but it was only for sale at the Q. Sort of scrathing each other's back, so to speak. Just thought you might like to know. They do have some neat things.

Sheesh, kinda nasty responses.
