Today? Fine.

In the future? Very possibly in the same unfortunate spot a lot of bookstores and then general B&M retail chains were put in due to Internet-shopping in general but Amazon particularly.

IMO they have a lot of reason to be worried mid to long term if they are paying attention, especially in light of Amazon's obvious push to get things delivered to you ridiculously fast if you opt for it (and this goes way beyond their whole drone PR).

Costco + Google Shopping Express for me beats Amazon Prime. Same day delivery is better than 2-day or even next day. Prices are better, and I can even order fruits.

If Google keeps expanding Express, Amazon may be in a position where they're playing catch-up.
