In Battle with Amazon, Google Expands Same-Day Delivery Service - Digits - WSJ

Competing to buy your consumer shopping data

"The company launched Google Shopping Express last year in the San Francisco Bay area. The service lets people order online and pay for packaged foods and other items, such as toys and diapers, from physical stores operated by retailers including, Target and Walgreen. The products are delivered to consumers’ residences by small vans within hours.

Google is offering the service free for the first six months in each metro area; after that, it will charge a fee of about $4.99 per store.

Google and Amazon.com, the world’s largest Internet retailer, are competing to be shoppers’ primary online destination and merchants’ preferred place to reach those consumers."
