As originally reported on TechCrunch and then confirmed by Reuters, the search giant is apparently working on a same-day deliveryservice that could pit it against the likes of Amazon Prime, eBay Now and local dispatchers like Postmates' GetItNow.
People briefed on the project, which was two years in the making, say it was partly motivated by Amazon's success in offering two-day delivery, through its Amazon Prime, service and same-day delivery, which has been available for four years in some cities.
