Google Shopping Express : Same-Day-Delivery Service Now Expands To Manhattan, West LA

An Amazon (in) a day doesn't keep Google away. Internet's most-loved children are now competing in the same-day-delivery segment. #-Link-Snipped-#, the search giant's same day delivery service, has been expanded to Manhattan and West Los Angeles, announced the company on Monday. San Francisco Bay Area is already enjoying this service. Amazon has a similar service expanded over a lot many cities, so it seems like Google had to add more to its weight to stay in the competition. Well, as far as competition is concerned, Amazon recently collaborated with Twitter which allows tweeters to reply to any product related tweet with the hashtag [HASHTAG]#AmazonCart[/HASHTAG], and this reply will add that particular product to Amazon's shopping cart. And drone-delivery testing!? Hmm. Where Google may score over Amazon is that it has its own Shopping Express delivery service, whereas Amazon still depends on providers line US Postal Service, FedEx, etc.

    Though Google is new in the business still I strongly believes that it needs to do a lot to compete with Amazon; One day delivery is not a big deal now a days,

    Amazon is 48 times faster than what Google is offering... 😁

    remember Amazon Prime?
    With the unmanned - drones, Amazon assures to deliver the product with-in 30 minutes of less.

    Can any one of you wildly dream that Google will look to buy Amazon?
