Walmart and Wing Launch Drone Deliveries at Six Metro Atlanta Stores

Orders run through Wing’s app to make drone drop‑offs a fast, routine last‑mile option.

Overview

  • Service went live on Dec. 3 from Walmart locations in Woodstock, Conyers, Dallas, Hiram, McDonough and Loganville.
  • Flights average about five minutes, with drones cruising near 60 mph and lowering packages by tether without on‑site assistance.
  • Eligible items include groceries—including refrigerated and fragile goods—household essentials, over‑the‑counter medicines and small gifts.
  • Customers in covered addresses order via the Wing app or wing.com/walmart; Wing lists up to 5 pounds within roughly six miles, though some reports cite about 2 pounds.
  • The launch starts a broader rollout targeting about 100 stores with plans for Charlotte, Houston, Orlando and Tampa, as the FAA weighs Part 108 rules that could ease expansion but draw pilot concerns over airspace and right‑of‑way.
