@Caaareful Shopper @CalminHeart My "moms" comment was about language. To me, they should have used "mothers" in a formal business press release. But I'm probably 40 50 years older than the person who wrote it, so it may be a generational thing.

However, it definitely feels outdated. "Parents" would be my choice.

I'm retired and know better than to say something like the moms comment.

They should have avoided referencing Moms as well as Gender, Women, Parents, Dads, Teens, Young adults, Girls, etc etc. The whole comment is outdated and misogynistic.

Not everyone is a parent, mom, dad and they still shop. It's also very 1950 to reference moms in such a release.

The person who inserted that comment, or originally wrote it, doesn't have a clue.

Because of this thread before I deleted this mornings email I clicked on, it as been several years since I have done that. Saw nothing of interest, but good luck to them.

Before Qurate bought them, Zulily was going great guns. I believe they increased sales 17% their last year. Then along came Qurate and it's been downhill ever since with huge loses.

They seemed to have lost their best vendors. I got so many nice things for the home, patio and yard. My favorite lamp came from Zulily, not to mention 50+ pairs of shoes. Now I rarely buy anything.

@Kachina624 I buy tons of faux florals on zulily, garden decor for DD and other items, slippers by the gross, lol, all I wear, and last year bought some fun Christmas shirts for DD and me, including pajamas for DD and boyfriend which they wore Christmas morning. Zulily has gorgeous ornaments, etc., vases, art canvases, I could go on and on as I do most of my shopping on zulily.

I notice the shopping cost has dropped one dollar this year. I hope the takeover doesn't change the zulily policy and customer service.

I traded in QVC for Zulily a few years back. Better service, better prices and for me a better clothing look. Hopefully they will do well and I will be one of their constant customers.
