Walmart and DroneUp announce first multi-site commercial drone delivery operations

DroneUp, LLC, a leading global provider of drone technology and services, and Walmart have announced the first multi-site commercial drone delivery operations. The three locations, which will be located at Walmart stores in Northwest Arkansas, will operate from 8:00 a.m. ­– 8:00 p.m., seven days per week, to deliver items to eligible Walmart customers by air in as little as 30 minutes.

DroneUp’s delivery operation provides Walmart customers a safe, convenient, fast, and sustainable delivery option on thousands of items – even the most fragile –  powered by a crew of skilled operators. Enjoying the benefits of drone delivery is as easy as:

• Verify:Customer enters their address to verify eligibility.
• Shop:Customer selects from thousands of items for delivery.
• Secure:Operators pack the order and secure the box to the drone using a patented delivery release mechanism.
• Deliver:The flight engineer manages a controlled and guided delivery, placing the order gently at the customer’s home.

Eligible customers in Farmington, AR can begin placing orders today at droneupdelivery.com. The additional locations at Walmart Neighborhood Market #5837 in Rogers, AR and Walmart Supercenter #100 in Bentonville, AR, are planned to open in the coming months.
