Toys “R” Us websites go black: Company shuts down e-commerce site

Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us are no longer selling any products online.

The toy retailer’s websites went black, and customers were encouraged to visit stores for last-minute sales. The chain is offering up to 30 percent off storewide, and all sales are final. Liquidation sales started in late March.

“We have shut down the website for any purchases but our brick and mortar stores are open and holding going out of business sales. We encourage you to stop by your local store and take full advantage of the deep discounts and deals available,” the company said on its website.

Toys “R” Us, Inc. voluntarily filed for relief under Chapter 11, in September 2017. Toys R Us was $5 billion in debt, as of April 29.
