Walmart Expands Drone Delivery Network In Partnership With DroneUp

US retailer Walmart plans to expand its DroneUp delivery network to 34 sites by the end of the year, with the potential to reach four million US households across six states: Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

This will provide the retailer with the ability to deliver over one million packages by drone per year, the retailer said.

Between the hours of 8am and 8pm, Walmart customers will be able to order tens of thousands of eligible items – such as OTC medicines, baby care products, and hot-dog buns – for delivery by air in 30 minutes.
