Walmart has officially launched drone delivery services in the Charlotte metro area in partnership with Wing, starting on October 21, 2026. This initiative allows customers to order a variety of items for drone delivery, marking a significant expansion of services that will reach over 270 stores in the coming year.

With the ability to bypass traffic and deliver items in as little as 30 minutes, the service is expected to cater to various needs, from game-day supplies to everyday essentials.
Looking ahead, Wing and Walmart plan to expand their drone delivery network to more than 270 stores, with a goal of establishing a coast-to-coast service by 2027. This expansion aims to serve over 10% of the U.S. population, positioning the partnership as the largest drone delivery network in the nation.
