Yes, it has been discussed.

They tell you the shipping date before you hit Order.  If you don't want to wait until the vendor ships it to Zulily, if it isn't worth the wait, don't buy it.

They said shipped within 8 days. I can wait since I can't color to much just yet. Just surprised why it's taking longer than expected.

You're lucky because normally they say 12-14 days plus.

They get it from the manufacturer and then send it to you. They don't warehouse anything.

Renna, if I were you, I would call and tell them about it.  That happened with me once, I called and they gave the items to me FREE.

I didn't think to call, Thanks for suggesting that!

FYI:

They have a lot of Vera Bradley on today, which will still be available tomorrow, if anyone is interested.  Bags on one area, accessories on another link.

Noel, I called them and talked with a super nice gal. She explained they have my books in their warehouse and waiting for my tunic because they shipped it together. She wasn't sure why it said would ship in 8 days. She Loved my choice of tunic

I bought an outfit once.  It was way too small and a complete waste of money.  There are no sizing measurements for the clothing, so it is a real gamble.  I did buy a few other things too that were not clothing. But frankly, I did not think the deals were all that great and have since unsubscribed to their daily emails.

Hi Renna, I am so glad you called.  I'm sorry I didn't think to tell you that they ship in groups, to save money, I suspect. 

An ordering trick is, if you are ordering more than one thing, first put the one with the least expensive shipping in your basket.  That way, you won't have to pay any more shipping.

It's a different kind of shopping, you have to learn the idiosyncrasies and manipulate them to your best interests   And always keep in mind: shipping will NOT be fast.

Today they have Cinco de Mayo items, a month ahead of the holiday.  For good reason, obviously, lol.  I ordered some of their Cinco de Mayo stuff, the same items, a month ago so I would be sure to get them on time.

I saw some coloring books in the Target dollar aisle the other day, and Costco also carries them.  Amazon carries them, also, a really large variety, if you are interested in getting a book soon.

Good luck with all of this

Thanks for all the great information.  I'll check Costco and Target next time I go. I'll let you know when I receive my items.

That's my clothes shopping experience my entire life.  Not that everything is too small, but that you can never trust sizing.  That's why I never buy online except for QVC.

QVC has continuity in sizing.  I like the Mizrahi knit shirts and know they will always fit.  So will the pants I get.

I just don't order clothes from Zulily because of that.  I am a petite and a size larger in the chest than I am in the hips or bottom, so there's that, too.

But everything else I've bought at Zulily has been great.
