The news: Look up. Walmart and Wing, the Google-owned drone delivery company, launched drone delivery in the Memphis area on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and one of the three launch stores is in Bartlett: Walmart Supercenter #950, 8400 U.S. Highway 64. Wing says these are its first deliveries in Tennessee.
Where else: The other two launch stores are the Supercenter at 577 N. Germantown Parkway in Cordova and the one at 798 W. Service Road in West Memphis, Arkansas. Wing says service reaches “tens of thousands of homes” around the three stores combined. It hasn’t published an exact delivery map, so whether your street is in range comes down to your address.
How it works:
- Check eligibility in the Walmart app or at wing.com/walmart. If you’re not in range yet, you can join a waitlist.
- Choose drone delivery in the Walmart app, on Walmart.com or in the Wing app, and check out as usual.
- Wing says orders can arrive in as little as 30 minutes. Action News 5 reports the service costs $19.99 per order.
What fits: Drones carry up to 2.75 pounds per trip for now, which Wing says will rise to 5 pounds soon. Think a prescription, snacks or the one ingredient you forgot, not the weekly grocery run.
What you’ll see: Wing says its drones cruise at 150 to 200 feet and up to 60 mph. At your home, the drone hovers at about 23 feet and lowers the package on a tether into your yard, so eggs and drinks arrive intact.
The bigger picture: Memphis joins Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte and Orlando on the Walmart-Wing map. The companies say they’re aiming for nearly 20 major U.S. metros by 2027.
