- Walmart and Zipline agreed on a multi-year expansion of drone delivery across the United States.
- The program has completed more than 2 million deliveries since the partnership began in 2021.
- Walmart has not announced a rollout schedule or the stores and markets for the additional sites.
Walmart stock slipped 1.03 percent from the latest report's quote as the retailer's drone-delivery expansion remained without a detailed rollout timetable. Walmart announced the underlying agreement on Thursday, November 5, 2026, according to the Walmart corporate announcement.
Zipline adds nationwide capacity
The multi-year agreement calls for 300 new Zipline drone delivery sites across the United States, with potential for further expansion. Walmart said its drone program has completed more than 2 million deliveries since the companies began working together in 2021.
Eligible customers can select the service through the Walmart app or Walmart.com when their address is within range. The offering covers tens of thousands of items and is designed to deliver orders in as fast as 30 minutes where available. Orders can be delivered to a front yard, backyard or driveway, while eligible customers can also order through the Zipline app.
Execution remains the next test
Walmart said 90 percent of Americans live within 10 miles of one of its stores, giving the retailer a broad physical network for expanding rapid delivery. The company did not identify the additional stores or markets and did not provide a rollout schedule.
The expansion adds another fulfillment option alongside 30-minute-or-less delivery in selected markets, one-hour Express delivery, on-demand delivery in as little as three hours and scheduled delivery windows. The financial contribution of the agreement was not specified, leaving customer adoption, operating costs and execution as the main factors for investors to monitor.
