Walmart recently has partnered with Wing, a company that operates drone delivery services, to offer a new delivery method to its customers.<\/p>\n
According to Wing’s press release, this innovative delivery-service option allows Central Florida residents and tourists to receive items quickly, as drones bypass traffic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ocoee residents soon will be able to try the service themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wing drones fly up to 60 mph and lower to about 20 feet into a person’s property to safely lower the packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Currently, the drones in Florida can only transport up to 2.5 pounds per flight, but Wing plans to increase it to 5 pounds in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Walmart on Orange Blossom Trail in Apopka already is offering the delivery drone service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Walmart on Johns Lake Road in Clermont is offering the services as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, the Ocoee Walmart will begin offering drone delivery method, as well as the Walmart on U.S. Highway 27 in Clermont and U.S. Highway 27 in Haines City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe measure success in minutes saved and life made a little easier in Central Florida,\u201d said Heather Rivera, Wing\u2019s chief business officer. \u201cWhether it\u2019s helping a family grab a quick lunch without loading everyone into the car, or delivering sunscreen to a visitor at their vacation rental, we want drone delivery to be a simple, seamless part of daily routines.\u201d<\/p>\n
