What is Zulily?

Peri

I keep seeing pop up ads for it but when I go to the website I can't get in the front door without "joining". What does joining involve?

Joining involves signing up with your email address. It's one of those flash sale sites, but particular business model of Zulily somehow implies incredibly long shipping time (up to several weeks).
Their specialty is children clothes, but occasionally they run good sales on adult footware.

I've 'joined' just to be able to see their sales - all you do is set up an account and get their emails periodically - but haven't bought anything yet. They're kinda like Gilt flash sales or a Groupon Goods offer - stuff is available for a short time only, and from what I understand, the long shipping time is because they wait until each category of sale has ended, and then order everything from their suppliers at once. Thus the lower prices. Unfortunately, it seems like almost everything (maybe everything at all) is no returns, final sale, which I'm open for with known brands for other stuff, but less so for clothes and shoes, which always vary a little in fit.

Anyone wish you could just check out these sites without setting up a login?

Just too many user/password combos to have and remember. I don't bother so a potential customer lost

Chadya, yes. I just give up if they throw too many obstacles in the way of trying to give them money

chadya - I use the same password for all those sites, so it's easy to remember.
And specifically about Zulily, I would say you can safely skip it if you don't have little kids.
