Google Express to Close Same-Day Delivery Hubs in California

Google’s same-day delivery service, Google Express, plans to shutter its delivery hubs in San Francisco and Mountain View, California. “The move is part of a broader push within Google to revamp the service, which launched in March 2013,” reports Re/code. Google Express, currently in seven major cities, primarily delivers goods from retail and shipping partners, and has been experimenting with the hub model. Sources say the company is looking to address rising costs of drivers and vehicles by “outsourcing its delivery to other on-demand startups and has held initial talks with multiple companies, including Postmates and Flywheel.”
