First Try With Google Express. Preetay, Preetay, Preetay Nice.
Earlier this week, Google announced the expansion of Google Express to include delivery in the suburbs of Chicago via this blog post . Being a 'root-for-the-home-team-kinda-guy', I *had* to give it a shot, right? Google Express allows for overnight delivery of goods from a network of retailers including Walgreens, Costco, Toys R Us and others. Much like Amazon Prime, you can pay an annual subscription charge and receive free shipping. On this maiden order, I decided to skip the subscription and just pay the $4 it cost to get the stuff to my house. To make things easy, I picked just one store: Walgreens. And after filling my cart with a few things, I got the hang of it. I quickly realized that I had to hit $15 in stuff to get to the delivery threshold. So...I went around and plucked a few things from the various departments and nosed ahead of $15. This was on Wednesday. I also looked at the offerings from a few other stores. Costco, in particular was of interest.
