Alphabet’s drone delivery company, Wing, and retailer Walmart are expanding their partnership to offer drone delivery services to customers in five new cities in the US.
Customers in Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando and Tampa will be offered the service via Walmart’s website or app, with the potential for up to 100 simultaneous flights from a single store.
Walmart has made more than 150,000 drone deliveries since starting the service in 2021, covering a range of items from toiletries to groceries, provided the customer lives within six miles of a store and the order weighs less than 2.5lb.
The expansion brings the total number of stores offering the drone delivery service to 115.
