I registered to start using it and found some great deals but hesitant to go ahead with them unless I hear good reviews. Anyone use them whats your recommendation?
I just did part of my christmas shopping on Totsy. They had really good deals on costume jewelry that I know my girls will love. This is the first time I bought anything since I signed up two months ago.
I have had a few purchases on Totsy and will never go back. I ordered things that never came and wasn't notified that I wouldn't be getting them. I had to contact them and ask for a credit.
There ship times are awful - it took me 6 weeks to get only part of my order. While you can plan for that much delay, it is a pain.
Also, I do NOT trust their "retail price". The Angelina Ballerina clothing they had on a few times can be purchased at Kmart and their retail pricing was 1/2 of what the site listed it as. For example, there was a sweatshirt that was listed on Totsy as "normally" 38.99 but they were selling for $14.99. Kmart's website had it at a regular price of $19.99.
And when contacted, their customer service is terrible.
So, you may get good deals, but you will wait a long time and they may oversell some items that you will never receive and you won't know until you get the partial order.
I have looked on totsy before, but never really found anything I needed. I do use Zulily and have bought a few things, they have all arrived quickly and in perfect condition. In fact I just ordered my girls flowergirl dresses (For SILs wedding) from a shop that was featured. I paid less than $30 for flower girl dresses! I thought that was quite a deal. There are also usually coupon codes for Zulily online (I just googled). Let me know if you want to use it, I'll give you my code so that I can get $15 back and then when you reccomend to friends you get money off too! :)
Lol. Just this morning I UNsubscribed to Totsy.
A few days ago this q was asked...one woman had a horrible story.

There ship times are horrible. Horrible! I would certainly not recommend ordering any Christmas gifts there.
And they have very poor customer service.
Another mom board that I was on was filled with absolutely horrible reviews of totsy. Dozens of people placed orders and were fully charged, but either never received their stuff or only received a partial order or what came wasn't what was advertised. Customer service was horrendous - most people couldn't even get through to a live person and never got called back.
After what I read from all these moms, nothing could ever get me to even consider buying from totsy.

I recently bought a jacket and snow pants from them for a great deal and had no problems. It takes longer to ship out so take that into account when you are ordering.
