6pm is the online discount retailer operated by Zappos IP, Inc. - a daily-deals destination for shoes, clothing, bags and accessories that Zappos acquired from eBags in 2007 and that has sat within Amazon, through Zappos, since Amazon bought Zappos in 2009.
Current deals are on the 6pm website, linked above. As an online retailer itself, 6pm carries no Amazon/eBay shop box here - its own site is the destination. Two ownership facts complete the chain the record below begins: Zappos bought 6pm.com from eBags, Inc. in 2007 and kept it as a separate value site for discontinued and past-season merchandise, and Amazon then acquired Zappos itself in a deal that closed in November 2009. The full sales pitch is kept on this single page because it is a pitch rather than a dated history - it names its example brands and its daily rhythm, but carries no founding record, figures or photographs to separate onto a history page.
The categories matter because they define what kind of retailer this is. Shoes lead the list, followed by clothing, bags and accessories, which is the assortment of an off-price fashion outlet rather than a department store: branded goods across the wardrobe, bought on value. The filing addresses its reader as a fashionista feeding a need for brand names at great prices, with free shipping and the convenience of online shopping, and promises fresh new styles alongside designer pieces, performance gear and casual and contemporary fashion for the whole family.
Unusually for a directory pitch, this one names its examples. Competitively priced Nike clothing, awesome Oakley sunglasses, fabulously priced Nine West shoes and comfortable Clarks shoes are offered as a few of the incredible brands and products available. Those four examples are chosen to span the store: an athletic giant, an eyewear specialist, a women's footwear name and a comfort shoe maker. A shopper who recognises any one of them understands the model at once, familiar labels, discounted, refreshed daily, which is why the historical record insists most personal favourite brands, plus brands the whole family will adore, are stocked.
The daily rhythm is the retail strategy kept here. A new sale every morning gives a value shopper a reason to return without a specific purchase in mind, and the filing leans into that habit with phrases like daily guilt-free shopping spree. Guilt-free is the operative promise of off-price retail: the same brand names a shopper loves, at prices low enough that indulgence needs no justification. Stimulating a wardrobe with fresh styles, and exhibiting designer and performance finds, are presented as the payoff once the parcel arrives.
The filing closes with its corporate facts, and they are the most durable part of the record. 6pm.com is operated by Zappos IP, Inc. Zappos is owned by Amazon. The kept links on this page lead to the Apparel Search profiles of both Amazon and Zappos, so a reader can follow the ownership chain inside this same directory: the discount outlet in the numbers section, its operator filed under Z, and the parent filed under A. That chain explains the model's logistics, an established shoe retailer's operation running a dedicated deals destination.
The filing also preserves two routes a value shopper of its era would recognise at once. Its kept links lead to the online clothing retailers listing and the fashion sales page elsewhere on Apparel Search, placing 6pm where it belongs in the directory's own map: not as a maker of clothes, but as a place to buy them, beside the Amazon shopping route its page also carried. Read together, those links frame the store's promise from both sides, breadth of brands on one side and a standing sales destination on the other, renewed every morning.
For current sales, shipping terms and brand lists, the official 6pm website kept in the References is the authority, because daily deals by definition change every morning and no directory page can responsibly quote them. This profile's permanent value is the model and the ownership, recorded as recorded: a Zappos-operated online outlet selling shoes, clothing, bags and accessories from named brands at daily-deal prices, filed under Numbers because its name begins with the digit 6, beside the two VF divisions, 20X and 7 For All Mankind, whose names do the same.
Zappos IP, Inc., as the record states. Zappos acquired 6pm.com from eBags, Inc. in 2007, and Amazon acquired Zappos in 2009, so 6pm sits within Amazon through Zappos.
Shoes, clothing, bags, accessories and more, from a wide variety of brand names, sold online with a new sale and daily deal every morning. The examples named in its pitch are Nike clothing, Oakley sunglasses, Nine West shoes and Clarks shoes.
No. 6pm is a separate discount website operated by Zappos, created as the value outlet for discontinued and past-season merchandise, while Zappos.com remains the full-service store.
