Google will launch its Google Express online order-and-delivery service in Georgia as part of a 13-state expansion, the tech giant said Tuesday.

The service, which competes with Amazon’s Prime Now among other rivals, enables shoppers to order from a number of retailers, such as Costco, Fry’s Electronics, PetSmart, Staples and Whole Foods, and have the items delivered to their homes in two days or less.

The list of participating stores and items in stock varies by area.

Google Express offers one-year memberships for $95 or pay-as-you-go starting at $4.99 per order.

In addition to Georgia the expansion includes Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee, as well as Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Wyoming and Washington.

It follows an expansion in New England last month.

Amazon’s Prime Now service offers same-day delivery in major cities across the U.S., while its Prime membership program offers two-day delivery to anyone, whether in a city or rural area.
