Search engine giant Google’s service of delivering goods to doorsteps is called Google Shopping Express, and it has recently started offering overnight shipping to its Northern California customers.
Google’s overnight shipping service is in direct competition with its rival Amazon and other online retailers. According to a Business Insider report, Google has made a $500 million investment in Google Shopping Express, which is on the same line as Amazon’s AmazonFresh delivery service.
Google Shopping Express’ overnight shipping service will extend from Fresno to Porterville in the south and Crescent City in the north. These services by online retailers are offered to appeal to customers who don’t prefer brick-and-mortar shopping to online. Online retailers like eBay and Amazon are developing their services for same-day delivery, with the most recent example of Amazon having expanded same-day delivery to Dallas and San Francisco in May.
