It's using SHIPT, the membership delivery platform it bought back in 2017. Previously, if you wanted something delivered same-day via SHIPT, you had to pay an annual $99 membership fee.

Investors are sending shares of RH (RH), the company formerly known as Restoration Hardware, higher for a second day after the company beat on earnings and revenue while delivering strong guidance. The CEO called it an "exceptional start to the year" and says RH is ready to handle any tariffs on China by moving some of its manufacturing operations to the United States.

Our parent company, Verizon (VZ), is facing a patent challenge from Huawei. The Chinese tech giant says Verizon owes licensing fees on more than 200 patents and should pay up. A Verizon spokesman said the "issues are larger than just Verizon" and had no comment on a potential legal matter.
