Google Takes Aim at Amazon Prime, Building a Same Day Express Shopping Service

Google Checkout Express

According to an inside source, Google is preparing a new online shopping service called “Google Shopping Express.” The service is said to be a direct competitor to Amazon’s Prime and eBay Now, delivering same-day packages from major retailers such as Target and Walmart. The source stated that the service will be cheaper than Prime, costing $10-$15 less than the $80 Amazon asks for their service. 

Apparently, the service is already in testing with some Google employees, but there is no word on when a full scale launch could take place.

The question is, would this get Kellex to drop his Prime subscription? We shall see!
