Walmart Partners with Zipline, a Drone Company, to Test Possible Drone Delivery Service

Bentonville, Arkansas — Walmart has recently partnered with the medical product delivery company Zipline for a new service: a drone delivery system that will deliver select Walmart health and wellness products right into the customer's doorstep. Like Walmart pick-up, a store associate will collect the items and pass them to the Zipline crew. The latter will then prepare the said items for delivery. It is said that the items could be delivered in as little as 30 minutes.

The Last Mile Walmart Senior Vice President, Tom Ward, states that the drones, which have a 50-mile radius, could help provide immediate service to the elderly in hard-to-reach areas.
