Loved Zulily. Oh well, not the first or last time that a store that I like folds.

Haven't seen nor heard anything about this. I have dollars in credits fron returns, I better find something(s) and use it up before I lose it.

It's really difficult I've found to actually have clothes fit properly from zulily. It never seems to fit as it's either too small or too big regardless of their size charts hence the reason for $$$ credits.

I figured something was off with them. Every holiday season. I order Moose Munch made by Harry and David from Zulily. This year there were no offerings.

Also missing, were Mrs. Prindables, and Juniors's cheesecake along with many other food brands. I was thinking that this is odd. They didn't even have any nonperishable food items like hard candy.

Now I know why.

When I first shopped there it was fun, then something changed.

Worse than 7-10 day shipping. It took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get things to my door. The shipping was also expensive for as long as it took.

Some cute clothing, but dubious as to who the brands were.

I gave up and only purchased when I felt it was a bargain that I didn't need quickly.

I believe that this was Zulily's primary challenge, not ownership by Qurate.

The FTC filed revised anti-trust complaints against Amazon last month. The entire FTC complaint is available online.

Amazon targeted Zulily to stifle competition, FTC alleges

In the new version, the FTC alleges that Amazon targeted sellers who sold on both Amazon and Zulily, punishing these sellers if they offered lower prices on Zulily through one of the company's flash sales, a core part of Zulily's business at the time.

Sad to see people put out of work by monopolistic practices by any company. Aside from any competition from Amz, I, too, stopped shopping at Zulily once it was purchased by Quarate. The site looked messy and overcrowded and I didn't enjoy the experience any longer.
