Walmart is coming for Amazon

Walmart is in talks to buy Jet.com, The Wall Street Journalreports.

If completed, the acquisition could give Walmart the e-commerce muscle it needs to overtake Amazon.

Jet.com, which sells household goods and groceries, is just one year old.

But it has been growing rapidly — adding approximately 350,000 customers a month — by offering lower prices than Amazon and free shipping on all orders over $35.

By comparison, Amazon charges $99 annually for free two-day shipping as part of its Prime membership.

Walmart has been investing heavily in its online business in an attempt to catch up to Amazon.

But it has a long way to go. Walmart's online sales were $13.7 billion in fiscal 2015, while Amazon's sales in 2015 were $107 billion.
