Walmart drone delivery is ready for liftoff. They are expanding drone deliveries across six states with operator DroneUp, bringing the total network to 37 sites by year-end.
The retailer said it will be able to deliver items like batteries and Hamburger Helper to 4 million households in parts of Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Utah and Virginia. Walmart has been testing how drone deliveries could drive e-Commerce growth and turn stores into a way to outmatch Amazon on speed. With the larger network of sites, Walmart will be able to deliver over 1 million packages by drone in a year. Each drone delivery will cost $3.99 and customers can order items totaling up to 10 pounds.
