Walmart customers in Denton could receive their next order by drone.
Walmart, in partnership with aviation company Wing, began providing drone delivery service Thursday at its Superstore in southeast Denton, 1515 S. Loop 288. Drone delivery will be available for select, smaller items for residents within about a six-mile radius of the store, according to a news release from the city of Denton. Eligibility varies by location, but specific addresses can be verified here. Customers must use the Wing mobile app to complete orders.
The drones are expected to fly at an elevation of 200-250 feet from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (or until dark, whichever is first), seven days a week.
The drones do not have a live video feed or imagery, but are equipped with low resolution camera sensors used to assist with navigation and help ensure safety and reliability of deliveries, the news release said. North Texas is the first major U.S. metropolitan area with a commercial drone delivery service, which now includes Lewisville, Frisco and Denton.
