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.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@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!

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.


@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.
