I love Jet.com Great prices, at least after their recent 20% discount. Got (5 cases!) cat food for less then it would cost locally and it gets delivered right to the door! I can't imagine they made any money off me. I might even be a 'loss leader'. If $500M from Fidelity keeps the ship floating for a while, God bless them!

I thought the entire point was that you were paying as close to cost as possible and they made their money off subscription fees?

  That was hurting their growth so they dropped the fee. http://fortune.com/2015/10/07/online-shopping-jet-com/ http://fortune.com/2015/10/07/online-shopping-jet-com/

    Making money was hurting their growth, so they stopped. Ah, the ol' Amazon model.

      That describes alot of companies besides Amazon if you insert "for a while" after "stopped".
