Does Zulily Save You Money?.

I was browsing and ran across a shoe listed on QVC which I got from Zulily last week. Here are the two listings.

QVC

Zulily - price is $39.99

Yes, but you need to know your brands & do your research. I just bought several pairs of Earth sandals all for $19 each .The one pair are $80 dollars on QVC. Then there are other items that are off brands & the quality isn't great.

Shipping is usually $$ and no returns. If you see something be sure you're familliar with the brand and quality.

I've gotten some horrible jewelry that wasn't worth the shipping cost. I've also picked up. a few cute sweaters and a great puffer vest for winter.

Shop very carefully.

I'm not quite sure about "how much money".....but shopping there saves me a lot of time and gasoline. AND, they have clothing items I just can't find anywhere else.

I think it could save someone money as long as they are certain of brands and sizing when purchasing clothing or shoes. Shipping is costly and if an item can be returned, it's going to cost for the shipping there too. Makeup is usually a good deal. I stay away from actual skincare, though, because those items that end up on Zulily or Hautelook are oftentimes close to expiration.

I’ve gotten some really good buys on Zulily, but you need to know your brands or be willing to take a chance. Delivery can be slow due to the way Zulily obtains its merchandise. Zulily allows returns on many items now, but they credit your Zulily account instead of crediting your credit card. They automatically apply the credit to your next order, so you don’t have to remember to apply it yourself. The way shipping works is interesting. You pay for shipping for your first order of the day. After that, shipping’s free until midnight Pacific time. You pay for shipping on your first order on Friday, but don’t pay shipping for subsequent orders until midnight on Sunday Pacific time. This policy helps if you want to order gadgets or items that cost less than the shipping fee. They charge $8.95 for returns, but you can return multiple items for one return fee. It’s interesting to see some of the unusual items that Zulily offers, in addition to name brands. You just have to shop carefully.

Zulily often has broken sizes and colors.

I've learned that if I find something on zulily, I should comparison shop before buying. I don't shop there because they are low price. I shop there for something I can't buy elsewhere.

the way I save $$ is to find online stores that have free shipping and returns. and that ship fast--this waiting 2 weeks to get something drives me insane. And having to spend $99 to get free shippping is garbage too. I don't shop much from Zully or the Q or any of the other places much---if Ebay or Amz doesn't carry it--I don't need !! And I am 15 minutes away from a very nice brick aand mortar mall/stores so Il'll go there too.

Values at Zulily are unbeatable! Especially towel and linen sets 60%-75% off...as long as you don't need it tomorrow. ..it is now my favorite online place to shop...

You can get some good deals on Zulily which is somehow associated with QVC as part of the Qurate retail group hence why some of QVC's vendors appear on Zulily. I see Laura Geller items, Josie Maran items but they are limited but the prices are good. The only thing that really stands out to me is the shipping. Don't expect your order for 2-3 weeks. So if you are careful you may be able to get some good deals.

I don't buy clothing or shoes online.

I do look at Zulily and the only time I did by clothing from them was to order some expensive Under Armor men's underwear that I'd bought lots of other places in the past. The price was like 50% off of what I usually had to pay, but the product was like getting seconds. The material of the waistband was not good quality and overall, it was really no deal for the quality of the product.

So based on that one experience, I've never ordered again. I do look at especially their home and holiday decor, and while there are a lot of cute things, I feel I can find the same quality of imported goods in similar styles at places like Hobby Lobby, and see what I'm getting before I buy.

I sure don't understand why someone would say shipping is $$ at Zulily.

You buy one item, it's generally $5.95 and the rest of the day, your shipping is free.

I sure wouldn't load my cart up or buy multiples of something, just place one order with the cheapest item, then place additional orders for free shipping.

You do need to take note if a return on that item is acceptable but I tend to purchase items I don't think I want to "try" rather than I know will fit.

Got a great pair of New Balance shoes for $29.99 that would of cost me over $80. Great find on furniture covers, bought of the comforters for $12 and change. In reality, I think I got some really good deals and nice stuff from Zulily...will look everyday.

Most of the stuff I have seen on their website said no returns so I didn't purchase. I did buy a ruana their which was very nice and the sizing wasn't an issue so I bought it. You just have to pick and choose wisely.

@Jtdmum. Shipping of course is paid only on your first item in a 24 hour period or Fri. - Sun. Weekends, so you can buy a pile of stuff for say $5.95.

Zulily does take returns on most items. Each item specifies whether it is returnable.

I've gotten some nice earrings but I just select sterling silver and note the size.

I don't buy clothing unless it's a brand with which I'm familiar.

Overall, I don't find their markdowns earth shattering. I will occasionally find something at what I consider a very good price, but just as often I can find the same item elsewhere for less.

@lovesrecess. Check back again; most items are now returnable. Each thing will specify.

When you return do you get refund on credit card or does Zuilly apply credit for your future purchases
