Why can't I browse without singing up?

After seeing ads for months, I finally clicked on one. It required that I join to shop. So I looked up the company, thinking I could browse without signing up if I access the website independently (without clicking on an ad), but no go.

How annoying! I don't know if I like the stuff they sell—yet. What has the company done for me (except put ads in front of me) that they deserve the right to send me emails just because I want to browse?

Zulilly, try earning potential customer trust before asking for an email. You've lost my potential business!

I can't believe that you don't allow people to browse on your website without signing up. How can you stay in business that way?

How do I know if I want to sign up if I can't even see what merchandise you sell? This is extremely annoying and seems like a poor business model.

Also, u can't save anything to favorites either. I would save things to my favorites, and when I had $$$, I'd go back check my favorites, and purchase!

U can't do that anymore! And because I left a poor review for the NEW zulily, they locked me out of the site completely!

Guest

Same here. Saw and add and wanted to see the item.

Signing up is too much of a hassle of just viewing an item.

They just lost another customer. Hope whatever customer psychology tactic you're doing is worth the customers you're losing.

Guest

worst *** business strategy, hope u guys go bankrupt

Guest

Agreed .. you do not need my email for me to shop your site!

Guest

lost my business as well

Guest

It is so annoying that I cannot browser you website without signing in especially if I am outside and potentially not on a secure internet.,

Guest

Agreed! So annoying.

I just want to browse.

Makes no sense. Don't they understand that they're actually loosing potential customers this way versus gaining smh.

Guest

I too would like to look before I sign up. I guess Zulily isn't that interested in us.

Guest

I agree

Guest

I agree! I was also annoyed, and will not be browsing their site, I guess

Same here....they lost my potential business. Why can't I just browse their website? They want my email address to bug the heck out of me with endless emails.

Guest

Exactly my thought... So disgusting and ARROGANT

Shekinah Ike

I agree with the above customer!!! I think I will order from zulily.

But I'd like to browse first please!!! You should have potential customers look around before you bounce on them for a private email address!!i.

You've lost another potential customers. I'll look you up later to see if you wiill seriously consider this request

Guest

Agree ... obviously Z doesn't trust me.

Guest

Agree

Guest

Agree! With all the competition out there, Zulily insisting you provide your email just to shop, is just bad business.

Makes you wonder what other bad business decisions they make. I'll go elsewhere.

Guest

AGREE! A few years ago, this was not the case, so why change it?

I just go to other sites that don't require my information unless I buy something. Hassled to look around is not for me!

Guest

I would like to view your products before giving away my email. I have UNSUBSCRIBED enough in my life

Zulily - They did not cancel my order and now I cannot return my order! - Image 4

I ordered 3 items almost 2 months ago!!! I only received 1 item, so I asked them to cancel the rest of the order and for a refund!

I threatened to contact AMEX and miraculously the next day I received an email stating the order was shipped! I told them I still dont want the order and they said to return it! I received the ugly, cheap quality items and went to the portal to process the return. To my dismay I was told I would have to pay shipping charges!

Once saw the order was cheap quality, I told them I definitely didnt want it and toms them to cancel it in the first place! This is a deceptive business practice! They try to wear you down so you just give up while they rake in the profits! Zulily has changed hands 3 times and the newest owner is the WORSE!

I dialed the Customer Service number I was given, and they tried to sell me a medical alert system! Enough is enough!!! Zulily used to have integrity! The old Zulily would have told me to donate the ugly items and refund my money!

The old Zulily had support you could talk to. When I went to return the items it said the return portal was not working-this has been since Saturday!!! I have written Customer Service and all of a sudden, they are NOT responding!

Like I said, scam artists!!! Do NOT buy from them!They are a 0 rating, but it wasnt on the scale!

They are a bunch of crooks. You can’t even get in touch with them.

When I ordered my item, it didn’t have final sale, no return. Now it’s on the invoice.

I’m very pissed because they are deceiving with their items and then there's no way to contact customer service. I ordered these color curtains and got this color.

ZULILY STOLE MY MONEY!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

To whom it may concern,

I filled out the claim form for $24.07 that was a credit in my Zulily account. Then I was told they received the claim after the due date. The thing is, why do I have to claim money that was mine to begin with? That money was taken by Zulily, when in fact everyone's credit should have been returned to them without them having to claim the funds!

Judging by the most recent reviews, it looks like the customer service has dipped significantly.

I would have been a repeat customer, except that money, which is still owed to me, was stolen by Zulily.

You lost many customers, including me. :(

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with partial refund. Use this site it is truly helpful.

Original review Sep 20, 2025
I ordered shoes from Zulily over a month ago. Was charged immediately but still have not received the shoes.

I emailed customer service and requested to cancel the order and receive a refund. I received an email back asking why I was canceling and I replied delay in receiving item. I did not get any response. Emailed again a week later asking about refund still no response.

Call every customer service number found on line all either went to someone selling something else or out of order. I see someone has picked up my email sent per pissed consumer but still have not received any response.

I would never order from Zulily again. I'll update this post if I ever hear from Zulily about refund or I receive the shoes.

No help whatsoever

Shipment was never picked up by UPS. Customer service was circular.

Wanted more info but kept sending me back to tracking which showed label created but never picked up.

When asked about refund they kept sending me to a link to return which wanted me to ship them something for refund. I had nothing to ship since I never received item.

Have not received item

I ordered a pair of Ray-Bans on Zulily October 15th! I have tried to chat with them, and it seems that no one is on the chat.

I found a phone number to call, but every time I try the call, it just hangs up! Zulily used to be available to call and resolve problems.

Not sure about why this new Zulily is not available! I paid a lot of money, and I either want my item or my money back!
