QVCkitty1 — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 15:19:50 GMT

I ordered a top on June 7, and it just shipped today . Is that usual for Zulily ? I'm not in a hurry for my order , but I would like to know for future reference TIA.

It took a while for me to receive my packages. My orders were sent by the vendor not QVC so maybe that is why.

Sometimes it takes 3 weeks. Yet, I ordered on Friday and it's being delivered today. You just never know.

On Zulily every item is different because they come from the various manufacturers, not a Zulily warehouse (that's why the prices are so low). I look at the delivery times for each individual item even before I consider the price. Some things can be delivered in 3 to 5 days, others take over a month, and everywhere in between. Must be very diligent in checking the delivery time before you finalize that purchase!

Having said that, I have been very happy with Zulily because I always manage my expectations of delivery (and usually only buy brands I already know).

Yes, very typical for Zulily.

@QVCkitty1 My experience has been that each item shows an expected ship date. Usually 2-3 weeks but I take that into consideration when ordering.

@grandma2pkmh, thanks, I didn't notice that when I ordered, I will pay better attention if I order again.

@QVCkitty1 Yes, it usually takes three-four weeks for arrival of an intem, which doesn't bother me for such great deals.

@lulu1 I think this happenes when an item is returned, or cancelled while it is en route to zulily. I ordered something about four weeks ago, and received an email at one point saying it was delayed, then it was cancelled. A week later, the item showed up, only one,. so I know that was my item which arrived after zulily cancelled it, so I received it the next day.

It can be typical for zulilly. Sometimes they have to wait until the event ends. Then it ships from the vendor to zulilly. Then it ships to you. So it can take awhile. But they say you end up with lower prices. So if you don't mind the lower prices, you win. However in some cases you do receive some items faster. Just depends. Same with Hautelook with Nordstrom.

Much depends on what is ordered. I have only ordered a few times, but my last order was Polish Pottery and it took several weeks because it came directly from the factory. I did receive notifications from Zulily to let me know the shipping status.

@QVCkitty1 I shop zulily as well, started just this spring and I've loved everyting so far. You will also note that some items are sent to zulily from overseas and then the zu to us so yes some items take much longer. You could wait a good 3 weeks at times.

@QVCkitty1 I order a lot from them. Pay attention when you click on the item.....it will show you the expected shipping time. I usually receive items about 3 weeks total after ordering, so I know I can't be in a hurry. Keep an eye out for items that have the little orange "rocket" under them......that means they can ship within a couple days! Also, always order just one item first (5.95 shipping), then add more items before the end of that day for free shipping. On Saturdays, the free shipping is extended through Sunday too!

@QVCkitty1

I honestly believe the shortest delivery time experienced was 2.5 weeks and the longest was about 6 weeks. For me, it's usually 3-4 weeks.

Thing with them is this: If you REALLY want something NOW, don't order it, because you won't get it NOW. I never order with that expectation, but have been very happy with each item received. Plus, my husband likes the candy enclosures with some items, which are thrown in gratis.

I've picked up some wonderful layering pieces for myself that would cost a bundle on the Q and elsewhere; and, also have a box into which I'm placing birthday purchases for my granddaughter who will turn 5 in late September. They've had some really neat stuff for her age group, so will wrap each one individually and place all in a big box.

@sfnative@I'm really looking forward to receiving my top. It was a different ( for me ) design and my favorite color, black, LOL.

As part of each brief description, the time it takes to ship is listed. Then add an additional 5-7 days for transport to your house. Order shipped from overseas can take longer. I've gotten items shipped from China where the tracking looks like a geography lesson.

I have ordered many items from Zulily. The best I can say is it will ship whenever they send it. Some items arrive quickly, others seem to take forever. Then there is the cancellations of orders that seems to occur randomly. I have found that I do not depend upon something unless I don't need it for almost 2 months.

Be patient, it will come.

Well I got my top this morning, so when it shipped it didn't take long at all. The top is nice, it fits, so it's all good.

I placed my first zulily order yesterday. About how long will it take for me to receive it? My order shows that it will SHIP by August 13th. Is that normal? If so, I won't be doing much shopping with them.
