Really? Every time I go I leave with a big smile. It might not be Zappos, but it's good enough considering the insanely low prices (even on commodity products!).

Every Wal-Mart I've ever been to has been crowded with loaded pallets and filled with sullen, unengaged employees. It's emphatically my least favorite place to shop.

You can even watch a video from the founder on their "videos" section.

More videos about the site in his youtube account. I feel a little bad for the guy...

I don't think that is the founder..just someone working on the site or something. I think that video was purchased from Fiverr or somewhere because I bought one from that same guy.

The customer experience is great for their customer. Lots of stuff, cheap. Don't expect to find a valet at the front of your local Wal-Mart, the people who require a valet are not Wal-Mart's customer.

It's worth checking out.
It's almost as though someone built this as an object lesson in the horrors of losing focus. This idea is terrible – and the design tells you all you need. Look at all that. It's like a piñata full of services exploded all over their homepage.
Wal-Mart also has one of the worst customer experiences ever – so we can snark all we want but this guy has succeeded in his goal in at least one dimension.
edit: Also, who is giving this "business" $20k to work with?
