It’s with a heavy heart that we report on the news that online retailer Zulily is closing its doors. The Seattle-based shopping platform offered a unique blend of fashion, décor, and other products that drew in a devoted fan base of shoppers over the years.
The company announced the closure in a press release on August 10th. The release stated that the company was not in a position to serve their shoppers and suppliers as they had hoped. They expressed sadness and regret about the situation and said that they were sorry to let their customers down.
The release also stated that customers could still make purchases until September 9th, but they wouldn’t receive any additional customer support after that date. They also said that customers could expect their orders to be delivered in a timely manner, as per regular protocol.
In addition, the company mentioned that the closure was not due to any financial issues or fraud. Rather, it’s simply a result of a situation that changed quickly and was above their control.
The CEO of Zulily, Darrell Cavens, posted a heartfelt personal goodbye on their website. He expressed his love for the brand and said that while the closure was not wanted, it was in the best interest of customers, suppliers, and employees.
