The problems I had when trying jet.com were that they didn't have a lot of the things I was looking for, and when they did, it was the same price as ordered from Amazon Prime. That being said, I'll look again now with this announcement. I'm not sure what their play is now without the membership fee. Like some of the other posts, my take is just to use their service to grab some discounts until they've burned through investor money. Cynically I think this is rolling the dice to try to achieve some critical mass of users in the hope of being bought by someone like Amazon.
