As crowdsourced delivery options like Zipments expand, Google, along with Amazon and eBay are planning their own versions of same day delivery.
Here's Google's initial foray
"We all rely on the web to turn our intentions into actions quickly and
easily. From planning a spring break or a trip to the movies to finding
the perfect gift for someone we love, the world is increasingly at our
fingertips. And over the last few years, we've worked hard to bring the
speed of the web to the real world. With Google Play, for example, you
can now buy or rent books, movies and TV shows in seconds.
Today we're starting a new experiment, Google Shopping Express. It's a
local delivery service that we hope will make it possible for you to get
the items you order online the same day, and at a low cost. It's
incredibly early days and so the service is only available to a small
number of people in the Bay Area."
