They are a little slow. I just looked up my most recent example, which is an order I placed on July 28. It was just shipped out today, which is typical for zulily.

Ditto PP - they are WAY slow. I didn't realize that the first time I ordered, and got DS a pair of sandals that I had to wait 5 WEEKS to get - at that point summer was half over! I order from them often because they have such great deals, but unless I had a month's lead time, I wouldn't count on them for a shower gift. That being said, I do love my zulily!!
I actually think it really depends on the item. Check on the page of what you want to order and it should tell you. For instance, I just ordered a gift for my brother off of the Global Amici page and it will take 2-3 weeks before it ships, but the last thing I ordered took just two days to ship and I had it in a week.
