The mail-order media retailer announced it will shut down its website and stop fulfilling DVD and Blu-ray orders on September 15.
Engineers maintaining legacy e-commerce platforms will need to decommission the site and migrate or delete customer data. The closure also ends any API or affiliate integrations that relied on Columbia House’s catalog, requiring partners to adjust their workflows.

Columbia House announced its website will close on September 15, ending its DVD and Blu-ray catalog club.
The company, originally a record club founded in 1955, had shifted to video rentals after multiple ownership changes and a 2015 bankruptcy.
Previous attempts to relaunch as a vinyl delivery service in 2015 never materialized, and no further pivots are planned.
