  I ordered a crib sheet and blanket from them and it literally took a month for me to get it. Ridiculous, never ordered there again.

  @monketbutt61612 I think a month is actually "standard" for zulily. it sucks.

  The issues with flash sale sites is that the merchandise typically comes from many different manufacturers.  Some of the manufcaturers don't even have the merchandise in stock and either order it from their factories OR they produce it after the orders are placed (by you, the consumer).  This cuts down on using warehouse space and also cuts down on having a ton of unsold merchandise.

  Nothing on Zulily has been worth waiting a month for it. I peruse the email they send me and then go find it on Amazon for the same/similar price, then Prime has it in my hands in two days.
  
  ETA: some of their "deals" are downright laughable. Ex: the current Leveret PJ's deal for $12.99 or so - they are always $11.99-$14.99 on Amazon and Prime eligible.

  I have had nothing but horrible experiences with Zulily.  Their customer service is the pits, too.  I unsubscribed from their emails so I won't be tempted anymore.  It's not worth the hassle.

  I don't love them either.  Every now and then I have ordered something but I definitely don't look at the email every day.

  Uh, you realize the prices on Zulily are based on a bulk sale. So, they don't place their order with the manufacturer until the sale closes. Then they receive them, then they ship. It's common knowledge that they don't have a fast turn around.

  I do realize this but they should still be able to provide updated shipping estimates and they still should have some quality control.

  I haven't ever had anything take a super long time but I never order something I need soon.  I'm with whoever said that I usually look on Amazon for it but I have found a few big things for a good discount (like DS' loft bed and a play structure the boys are getting for xmas).  I won't even order holiday specific stuff from there because I don't trust it'll arrive in time.

  On the other hand, sometimes my Zulily orders take so long to arrive that I forget that I ordered the item.  Then when it arrives, I feel like I've gotten a present.

  The first thing I ever ordered from Zulily took over 2 months to be delivered. I've had good and bad experiences with them but for the most part it really doesn't seem to be worth it.

  I find Zulily to be wildly overpriced, but I am also one of the cheapest people on the planet. 

  
  

  One time and one time only, I went to order something (can't remember what it was maybe a radio flyer wagon) and the price was pretty reasonable for a large item until the shipping costs of like $20 were added. No thanks.

  I have placed one order at Zulily. Then, I forgot I had ordered anything and my husband went to Target and bought similar items for a comparable cost. About a week later the Zulily items showed up. Needless to say, we have a lot of Frozen stuff now. Oh well!!

  I contacted them when DD coat shipped. Try told me they didn't know when the other coat would ship. Three weeks later try still don't know. I'm done waiting. They did refund the cost DD coat since the zipper is bad
