No Google Express in my area, and to be honest this is the first I've heard of it.

That said, Prime for life.

As a Google employee, I'm sure you would have Google Express access for free/required?

also, wtf is Google Express?

Maybe you should ask the better forum with more users, more views, and more posts that you decided to post a thread here about. :thumbsdown:

It's available in my area, but if these are all the stores AND I have to shop at each individually.... yeah no thanks google.

They aren't really comparable. Google Express is for local stores. I buy a ton of crap from Amazon, but I still get certain things locally. Prime takes care of my online shopping, and if I had Google Express in my area then I would use it to handle my local shopping.

Groceries from whole foods or costco, dog food/cat food from petsmart, etc etc.


Just because you personally dont see the point doesn't mean others wont.

No, there is no point. This is a terrible idea and it will fail tremendously.

I could get anything that any of those stores has on Amazon.

You mean the same stuff that is available on Amazon?

We tried Google Express when they offered a significant discount coupon on Groupon. It is fine for what it is - you can get quick delivery from the stores that they offer. If for some reason you like the stores that they offer and prefer not to go in person then it might fit the bill.

For me, it offers nothing relative to Amazon. Anything that I want to buy that I don't mind shipped is also available on Amazon at a better price, with likely more alternative products for my consideration, and more reviews.

The Google thing is also kind of quirky right now in NYC. They deliver to Manhattan but not to Brooklyn, which meant that when I used it, I had to have them deliver to the workplace and carry the item home.

It was still a good deal when the promotion is available (I did end up having to "find" something to buy given the deadline for the coupon, which again speaks to the catalog that they offer). Without the discounts there wasn't really any reason so use it over Amazon.

I asked this to a coworker whose husband works at Google, she said no. I was sort of surprised, might be incorrect.

Never heard of this before but I just checked out the site for a bit. It seems like you can't browse products across ALL stores? You mean you have to shop at each one individually? That's bogus. Anyway, I did a quick search for laundry pods cause I just bought some yesterday at Walmart so I knew the price. Walmart's price was way cheaper than the couple stores that showed up on Google Express. I know that's only one product but so far I ain't impressed.

I do like my Amazon Prime, though.
