Toys R Us Shuts Down Websites

California toy shoppers looking to get a deal as Toys R Us wraps up U.S. operations can no longer do so from the comfort of their home. Toys R Us has shut down its e-commerce websites for Toys R Us and Babies R Us as its liquidation continues following the company filing for bankruptcy.

The website was taking orders as recently as Friday. Now, visitors to the websites are directed to toysrusclosingsale.com. The site provides information about the company's liquidation sale.

A message on the websites that the e-commerce sites are down, but Toys R Us' brick and mortar stores are holding going-out-of-business sales.

"Thank you for your business and support over the years," the message reads.

The company's corporate website, toysrusin.com is still up and running. Visitors to that site are being told that online orders placed before the shutdown will be filled. No new orders will be accepted.

Wayne-based Toys R Us announced March 15 that it was "winding down" business at all of its 735 U.S. stores, which the company will close or sell. The company was saddled with $5 billion in debt and global sales dropped $100 million or more in each of the last three years.

The once-dominant retailer struggled to compete with online retail giant Amazon and stores like Walmart, The New York Times reported, and amassed $5 billion in debt.

Toys R Us had a $400 million debt payment due this year and was "burning through cash," the Times reported, and hired law firm Kirkland & Ellis to devise a strategy moving forward.
