The company is burning cash like crazy, they totally threw their business plan (to only make money via membership fees) out the window within a few weeks of launching and now they've slashed their originally proposed valuation by 50% in what would seem like a desperate move to get some cash in to keep the fire burning.

All for what? To try and compete with the likes of Amazon and Wall-Mart on price and logistics!?!?! Call me pessimistic, but this looks like its going to end in an expensive train wreck.

When someone is losing money someone is making money. While business does not need to be zero sum, most of the time it is.
