At Home Depot, an assist from Google

2/20/2018

The Home Depot will join Google Express this fall. The move will give customers the ability to shop through voice with the Assistant on Google Home.


According to the world’s largest home improvement retailer, the move will make it more convenient than ever for customers to shop however they want.


"We're focused on delivering convenience and value as we continue to invest in best-in-class interconnected experiences for our customers," said Online President and Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Hofmann. "Google has been a key strategic partner for us over many years and we're excited to take our relationship to the next level with the Google Assistant and Google Express."


Later this fall, customers will have an additional way to purchase innovative products - with the Assistant on Google Home or on the Google Express website or app.


As described on its own Web site, Google Express is available across the continental United States. Customers get free delivery when they meet the per-store minimum, which is $25 to $35 in most stores. Delivery time ranges from same-day to 3-day delivery, depending on the geography and the store.


Store’s that already have a presence on the Google Express site include Costco, Bed Bath & Beyond, Petsmart and Brickmans Ace Hardware. Walmart is also coming soon.
