Why are they using so much JS? Checking the source I don't think there is any HTML content - even providing just the basic header/main/footer/product title, price and one image would make this feel way quicker to load.
What I really need is a service that can deliver milk and eggs and other staples in a day, seems like most cant do that.

It's not available in my area, but looks interesting. How does it work? * Who delivers? * Is it just local stores, or can it tap into warehouses? * Can you get books?
Google operates GSX. They have cute little vans with "Google Shopping Express" painted on them which drive around and deliver the products. It's whichever local stores agree to partner with Google. As far as I know, the process works like this: 1. Google partners with a store. They place some subset of the inventory of that store online. 2. As a user, you browse that inventory and buy. 3.

You also can't get alcohol. They've been pretty smart with what they do and don't allow - makes it much more flexible than Instacart in terms of logistics on their end. It means they can just dump everything on your doorstep if you're not home.
