Wing drone delivery takes flight in Cordova
Wing drones are now delivering Walmart orders in the Memphis area, and one of the launch locations is the Walmart Supercenter at 577 N Germantown Pkwy in Cordova. Wing says the launch marks its first deliveries in Tennessee, with service available to tens of thousands of homes around its launch stores.
According to Wing, neighbors can get thousands of everyday Walmart items, from groceries to household and baby items, delivered right to their yards in as fast as 30 minutes. Wing Chief Business Officer Heather Rivera said local families now have a faster option for last minute groceries and daily necessities, while helping ease neighborhood traffic.
Wing says its drones cruise at 150 to 200 feet and up to 60 mph, then hover at roughly 23 feet and gently lower a package by tether at the home. Drones currently carry up to 2.75 pounds per trip, expanding to 5 pounds soon. Customers can check eligibility in the Walmart app or at wing.com/walmart, place an order for drone delivery, and join a waitlist if their street is not covered yet.
