Google Shopping Express Trial
Google just let me join their Shopping Express Bay Area trial today. They tout same-day delivery on purchases of all sorts of physical goods (groceries, office furniture, pharmaceuticals, etc.) and are offering free delivery for the first six months.
Couriers don’t come cheaply, so this trial has got to be costing them a fair amount of money. Anyway, I just ordered two toothbrushes, for delivery later this morning (i.e. within the next 11 hours) for a grand total of $3.98 + CA sales tax. We’ll see how it works out. It’s like Amazon Prime on steroids!
