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.
