Not even running yet and Jet.com may command a market value of $3 billion.

I don't believe in the concept of future valuations.
WTH does "it could be worth $3b" mean?
It could also be worth 100b, 10 cents or 15m.

The quote is actually "that would value the startup at $3 billion". It's worth what people will pay for it and if investors value it at $3 billion then that's what its "worth".

Frankly I couldn't care less how much they're worth.
The only time it would matter to me is if it goes public and by then it would be so overhyped (the current hype is nothing in comparison to what wall st provides) I wouldn't be buying it anyways.

I'm also sick of discussing whether I think they will do well or not.
I think both sides made have made their opinions clear.
It sounds like everyone can agree that it's a decent-to-great option for shopping right now,
so we may as well enjoy it.

Let's just enjoy the prices for now and

I haven't found an item yet where they weren't cheaper than Amazon.
Will it last? I can only wish.

Another real life test.

In The Swim 3 Inch Pool Chlorine Tablets 25 lbs.
Jet - 65.75
In The Swim - 59.99 with one day delivery.
$5 first time customer and 10 off 50 brings it down to 44.99

I bought 50 lbs but could not compare that since Jet does not carry it. It would have looked even worse for Jet if they did.

I wonder how many toothbrushes I would have to buy to make up the savings lost? 

That depends on how much toothbrushes cost at in the swim.. How does in the swim compare on daipers?

do they charge bottle deposit?

I order pallets or water all the time, I found lowes to be the cheapest so far though..

I order it in FL where there no bottle deposit fees.

If I needed 75 cases (I do) where is the cheapest to get t in NY?

It seems they jet.com is not charging bottle deposit, that would make them pretty competitive.

In FL I order about 240 cases (4 pallets) of this http://www.lowes.com/pd_309791-53803-2754100909_1z0ww5u__?productId=3735203&pl=1 a month with free truck delivery.

In The swim does not sell daipers or diapers but Sears does. They will blow away Jet on diapers if you know what you are doing.

For the concierge service - do they make the orders manually? If they have so many sales, how do they plan to keep up with the volume?

Huge staff?

[Ergel]

How big is their staff?
And besides the $ lost on the actual product, they need to pay people as well

I like their concept of waiving free returns in exchange for an upfront discount.
