Currently, shoppers in Dallas, Houston, and Austin areas can now take advantage of overnight delivery from the following merchants:

Whole Foods Market

Additionally, Google Express also offers two-day delivery through these merchants:

We noticed these Google Express listings showing up in the Product Ads (PLA) section of the search results pages. Notice that in the outlined listing, the merchant appears as ‘Google Express’:

Additional Details
Members of Google Express pay either $95 for the year or $10 per month. For non-members, delivery starts at $4.99 per store. This appears to be a move by Google to use Google Express as a way to compete with Amazon and other online shopping sites that offer similar same-day delivery services. If you were wondering how/when/if Google would respond to other same-day shipping services, such as Amazon Prime, look no further than Google Express.
