Walmart and DroneUp to expand drone-based delivery services across six states reaching four million households

Geographic expansion
Partnerships

  • Walmart and its partnering drone solution provider DroneUp have announced plans to expand drone-based delivery services to 30+ selected Walmart stores across Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Utah, and Virginia this year, aiming to reach up to four million households.

  • Eligible Walmart customers can place orders for items totaling up to 10 lbs, which will then be delivered to residences within 30 minutes. The companies will charge a USD 3.99 fee per delivery.

  • Analyst QuickTake: Today’s partnership further strengthens Walmart’s ties with DroneUp. The duo first partnered in September 2020 to deliver Covid-19 test kits in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Cheektowaga, New York, and since then have been collaborating on various drone-based delivery projects. Walmart also invested an undisclosed amount in the company last year. However, DroneUp is not the only company that Walmart is working with to provide drone-based delivery services to its customers, partnering with drone startups Zipline and Flytrex for various drone-based delivery programs in the US.
