I am not sure how the logistics work with participating stores but I would really like to see them make this an easy way for small local businesses to compete with Amazon. Basically a platform for them to list their products and the logistics to collect and deliver them.

This service seems to be mostly orthogonal to Instacart in that Instacart provides perishables but you can only order from a single shop at a time where with Express you can order products from across multiple stores but they focus more on non-grocery items.

Looking forward to trying it.

I'd like to see it work for small businesses too, but their initial launch stores all seem to be loaded with bigger companies (Target, Walgreens, Toy R Us).
