Google Shopping Express is apparently not just for groceries -- my brother bought a bunch of stuff from Target and Costco, household things like a microwave and floorlamps, camping goods, etc.. (My parents' stairwell is now full of the boxes with the parachute logo XD) I guess the free same-day delivery is a 6 months trial, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work after that...
I don't know why they think this'll work as a business plan, except that it seems that Google has enough money that they could be just paving the streets with dollar bills and this is a more efficient use of it? But we'll see. I admit the same-day delivery thing has been pretty impressive!
Huh, I haven't heard of the box-by-points thing, and I don't really get how this would work better than just having groceries delivered the normal way, but it's neat to see what-all people come up with.
