Compared to walmart.com, though, there's no reason to keep it. As a consumer, I don't really know/trust jet.com.
I do know Walmart, and I don’t trust or like the brand.

Walmart could have a huge competitive advantage if they advertised that they don’t commingle stock and made it easy to only order shipped and sold by Walmart.com. Although, Walmart also is known for accepting lower quality goods from brands in order to sell them at lower price, which isn’t much different from counterfeits, so I still wouldn’t buy from them.
Do you have an example of an item being sold at Walmart which is a cheaper version packaged as the more expensive version? Genuinely curious, I'm unaware of this...
Story time! When Jet.com launched they had some promos going on so I wanted to check out what it was all about and ordered a bunch of stuff. I think at that point they had 2 day shipping over 25 without a membership. Their signature purple package arrives on time, in a larger than expected box. I open it, and there's a smaller Amazon box inside. I open THAT and it has all my items. I got two receipts, one from jet.co…
I know it is a simple way to look at it, but Walmart on whole has been a game changer when it came to handling the lockdown. Where Amazon was taking weeks to get "non-critical" items shipped, Walmart had on average a 3 day wait for drive up pick up. They've introduced a yearly fee for delivery and we signed up. It's been top notch. In my area, they outsource the delivery to doordash. Order, pick a time for delivery a…
I don't understand why Walmart doesn't have a customer supplied delivery program. Using the app, you would sign in when you enter the store. It would inform you of any deliveries within X miles of your home. It tells you how much you would be paid in store credit to do those deliveries. So you start shopping with say $33.50 already in your pocket. Then you just drop off a couple of bags at a few houses on your way ho…
It’s so much better to either piggyback on the mail or just have customers do curbside.

I don't know, here are screen shots (I think) of both Amazon and Wal-Mart Distribution Centers: https://www.evernote.com/l/AUmo-KavWKxI35PFfZRw5wIlQOEf7aFO_...
Yeah, comparable infrastructure for deliveries, but my point isn't about distribution centers though. If stores are closed all their stock can just be delivered with UberDash(tm) delivery drivers because they are everywhere: https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/mu18i_4q9FQSqMWuBtGuXw--~B...
Pretty sure Walmart has absorbed and replicated jet's backend throughout its (Walmart’s) entire backend. Interesting talk from Scott Havens here about why WalMart acquired them and what Walmart problems they were able to solve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FskIb9SariI There simply isn't a need for jet.com branding anymore.
it seem like a waste not to continue the jet.com. its a simple domain that is easy to remember.
// no amount of branding awareness tv ads are fixing the name recognition they lost with that one... still redirects though.
Here's another article if you don't want to visit Techcrunch because of its redirection to advertising.com: https://www.businessinsider.fr/us/walmart-shuts-down-jet-4-y...

huhuhu, what happens when I tell Walmart I've completed the deliveries, but I haven't? what happens when I make the delivery, but someone gets injured in the process? DoorDash has insurance for this most likely.
