Thread: Anyone deal with JET.COM?

  1. #1

    Anyone deal with JET.COM?

    Every time I search for tools they pop up. They offer a $30 discount for your first 3 purchases. Anyone have experience with them?

    Thanks!

    I order from them semi-frequently. (More often now that Amazon has started charging tax in Alabama) I've not experienced any problems and generally get my orders pretty quick. Just received 2 96" Revos yesterday with free shipping.

    Be aware that they function a lot like Amazon in that a lot of items are fulfilled by third party companies selling on Jet's platform. But maybe that's just the type of stuff I order.

    Unfortunately they're own by Walmart, which I boycott in the real world. but overall I've never had any issues.

    I've ordered from them a few times. They are very large (owned by Walmart I think) and most of their stuff (especially tools) are fulfilled by 3rd party vendors (e.g. CPO). All my orders went just fine, and the one time they weren't able to fulfill an order I placed, their customer service was great and they gave me more credits. If the price is right I wouldn't hesitate.

    I refuse to, knowingly, do business with WalMart or any of their subsidiaries.

    I always look up items to find the best prices and sometimes, Jet has them.

    I've ordered and had no problems. They are an Amazon competitor and sometimes they do have a better price.

    Did you know SMC is user supported? Please help.

    They have an interesting gimmick where the more you order, the cheaper everything gets. So try to accumulate a few things if you can.

    I bought from Jet once, forget what it was. All okay with the sale, I remember that much. But I've never bought again. Why? around the holidays I was searching out gas ranges, range hoods, ovens, dishwashers, camera batteries, Iphone stuff, etc etc... and without fail, it seemed Jet and Overstock.com were in a battle to be the 2nd most expensive place to buy anything online.

    If I can't find some off the wall place that's cheap, it's Amazon or Ebay...

    I have purchased a few tools from them but many times others offer better prices. They are reputable.

    I'm very impressed with their customer service. I had an issue to get resolved, then I got e-mails from three different people (really quite personal notes) asking if everything was resolved to my satisfaction (which it was) and telling me not to hesitate to contact them any time.

    Thanks Yonak! Very glad to hear your experience. Customer service is a BIG deal for me.

    Wait? What if I'm out and my clothes are dirty? I just checked a bunch of places for 150oz Tide- Jet, Amazon, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, a few others-- all prices, $17.97 to $17.99.

    Fact is, if one place puts stuff like this on sale, most everyone else will be putting it on sale too, due to factory incentives. Nobody just decides out of the blue to sell $18 stuff for $10 just because. They sell it cheaper because they bought it cheaper. And yes they made money

    I mentioned 'off the wall' places in my first post-- I decided to buy the wife a GE Cafe 36" gas cooktop for Xmas. After searching Sears, HD, Lowes, Amazon, AJ Madison Ebay, JCPenney, Appliance Connection, Jet, Overstock, Target, Walmart, etc etc, I kept going down the google list until stumbled on homeshopbuy.com, who had this cooktop priced $350-$500+ less than any other place I checked. Funny thing, much of their other stuff isn't so discounted, but for some reason this particular cooktop is. I paid $1004 to my door in December. Right now it's priced at $1024. Google it like I just did and you'll find the average price right now is $1349. I also went 10 pages in, and homeshopbuy.com wasn't on the first 10 pages. I don't remember how far into the list I looked back in December but I'm glad I did, $350 ain't chump change...

    My point- the real bargains are hiding somewhere deep in the cybercloud, not at Jet or Amazon. The trick- and fun- is finding them
