Walmart has announced a new way it's going to deliver items to your door - using drones!
The company, Zipline and Walmart have come together and have announced the launch of an instant delivery service. This new delivery service is currently being tested out at the Walmart Neighborhood Market Store in Pea Ridge, Arkansas.
So get this - behind the store in Pea Ridge, Walmart has built a 25-foot platform, which serves as the infrastructure for take-off and landing.
This is how it works, customers that are within the delivery area will place an order through the Zipline app. Walmart associates will then compile all of the items and take them out to the flight operations crew. After that, the drone is prepared for take-off. The drone then takes off to the customer's home, drops off the package, and returns to the platform. CRAZY!
