Quidsi, Amazon's curiously named subsidiary that runs Diapers.com, Soap.com and others, will shut down Wednesday.

All of Quidsi's six sites, which will transition to Amazon.com that day, are using "we're moving" banners on the top of each site to alert customers.

A preview of the new landing pages on Amazon.com features a basic layout, directing customers to inventory pages from Amazon.com, Quidsi Retail or other retailers.

Amazon bought Quidsi for $545 million in 2011 but said last month it would shut down the business because it didn't turn a profit. The decision could mean that Amazon has a new interest in frugality after spending heavily to expand online or perhaps that Quidsi simply faced poor financial prospects despite its half-billion-dollar price tag.

Quidsi has operated Diapers.com, Soap.com, Wag.com, Yoyo.com, Casa.com and Beautybar.com.

A frequently asked questions page is available here, offering customers information on the change.
