It may be starting. I got a postcard in the mail from Costco last week saying that they were teaming with Google to start GoogleExpress with next day delivery. Maybe just an experiment in my area, maybe the race is on?

About Google Express
Google Express is an online marketplace that connects shoppers with popular stores. You can get fast delivery of household items, apparel, electronics, pantry staples such as bread and cereal, and more. The service is available throughout the continental United States.

Depending on your area, delivery day availability and the retailer you’re shopping from, your order may arrive the same day you place your order, the following day, in 2 days or in 3 days.

Here's how it works:

Shop from an array of popular stores, all in one place
Add items to your cart
Choose a delivery day
Check out using Google Payments
We arrange for a delivery company to bring it to you
With a monthly or yearly Google Express membership, you can get fast and free delivery on eligible orders*
For non-members, delivery starts at $4.99 per store for eligible orders. Find out more about service costs.
You can also place voice orders with your Google Home device. Read more!
*Free delivery means no shipping & service fees. Eligible orders (a) meet store minimums before taxes & fees in select delivery areas, (b) exclude restricted items, and (c) are placed by someone with an active membership subject to terms. Pricing may change.
