Residents in several North Texas cities can now get packages from Walmart delivered by drone. Here's a list of participating locations.
The retail giant launched the delivery service in partnership with DroneUp in parts of Texas, Arizona and Florida on Thursday.The company said it expected people to use it for emergency items but realized most are using it for convenience instead. For example, the most requested item at one of the Arkansas locations is Hamburger Helper.
The deliveries can be made in as little as 30 minutes between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. But you must be within a mile of a participating location.
To mark the start of the service in North Texas, students at Piedmont Global Academy in southern Dallas got a special delivery of calculators and a $5,000 donation.
