The online retailer Zulily is closing down, surprising customers and laying off hundreds of workers after efforts to salvage the business failed.
The Seattle-based company said in a notice on its website that it had tried to fill all pending orders and expected to manage that within the coming two weeks. Zulily said it was trying to ensure that orders that could not be filled were cancelled and refunded and offered a contact for customers who did not get their orders or refunds.
