Forever, sometimes. I actually cancelled an order after it hadn't shipped for three weeks in the past. I've also had orders ship within a week of ordering. Seems to be all over the place.

They take forrreeevvveeer!
The items are not in stock in their warehouse. When you order it has to be processed then shipped to their warehouse from the manufacturer then processed then shipped to you.

One hundred million years.
For real though, most recently it was close to 3 weeks? And then it had like a 5 day delivery time table. Really annoying.

@locavore_mama: Oh, that makes sense. Might make me a little more patient in the future... haha.

It can take a while... But something I ordered that had an expected ship date of 5/2 already got shipped! So you never know!

Yeah, pretty much forever. I usually estimate at least a month to get what I've paid a ton to have shipped to me.

Long enough that I've forgotten about orders before. I don't order from them anymore.

Forever and a day. It has to be an amazing deal for me to order from them...I'm not their biggest fan!

Haha the first time I ordered I was bummed out too... they sent me an e-mail explaining their long delivery time though. I think it took me about a month to get my items. BUT it's such a good deal!

I think it's actually gotten better lately.
I feel like it used to be close to 6-8 weeks and now it seems more like 4-5. Maybe companies are getting used to dealing with them?
But I usually try to only buy from them when I want more than one thing so I can take advantage of free shipping on the second item.

I put through my first order and after waiting a month it finally said it was in transit to Zulily. Another week later I got an e-mail saying that they didn't actually have the merchandise and I was being reimbursed along with a $10 credit to my account. I have not attempted an order since-- such a frustrating process to go through for nothing!

10-12 days at least. When I shop Zulily, I always remember that I'm not going to get it as fast as Amazon Prime. I'm okay with that.

Yup, forever!
Sometimes I've gotten things fairly quick but once it took forever!

It just depends- some I have gotten in less than a week, but usually it takes about a month. They do have expedited shipping for some items.
I don't mind it so much, I figure I'm saving a decent amount of money on the things that I do purchase that it's well worth it to me. It does make sense when you look at their business model, they buy many things in bulk once the sale time is over, get it shipped to them, then re-distribute if I remember correctly.
