Walmart will text shoppers when their delivery is on the way in several North Texas cites, but caution that recipients should remain at least 10 feet away.
Thus begins the start of the Walmart drone delivery service, and while there is no minimum purchase price, there is a $3.99 fee for the service.
Customers wanting to use the drone service must go to DroneDelivery.com.
The website will require shoppers to verify their addresses before they are able to add products to shopping carts, with deliveries made between 8AM and 8PM, within a mile of the participating locations.
DroneUp operators will then find the safest delivery spot in the recipient’s yard to drop off the order.
Walmart gave students from Piedmont Global Academy the opportunity to watch the drone service in action, as they received a delivery of calculators and a $5,000 donation.
