Google Will Start Delivering Perishables In San Francisco And LA

Anyone who’s ever tried to haul a 28-pound container of cat litter home without a car knows grocery delivery can sometimes be worth the convenience charge, and these services are cropping up in more and more cities. Instacart has been competing with AmazonFresh and Prime Now in a few markets, and now Google is using its Express delivery service to bring groceries to homes in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Google has partnered with Costco, Whole Foods, Smart & Final, and Vincente Foods to deliver produce, meat, seafood, and other perishables within two hours of the order. The service already existed for items like pasta, cereal, and other things you don’t mind leaving out on the stoop for more than a couple hours.

San Francisco and L.A. already have Instacart and AmazonFresh offering fast grocery delivery, and the latter offers one-hour delivery in many areas.
