Walmart delivers orders using drones and self-driving trucks that operate without a human driver. Drone delivery is available near 270-plus Walmart stores and is on track to reach 40 million Americans. In 2021, Walmart and an autonomous trucking company called Gatik completed the world's first fully driverless commercial delivery route, with no safety driver in the cab.

Walmart's drone delivery partnership is primarily with Wing, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google's parent company). In January 2026, Wing and Walmart announced an expansion adding 150 new store locations — the largest drone delivery expansion ever announced — bringing service to cities including Los Angeles, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Miami. Walmart has recorded more than 150,000 successful drone deliveries since 2021. Drone deliveries typically cover grocery staples, household essentials, over-the-counter medicines, and small electronics. Walmart also partnered with Zipline for drone delivery in select markets. For autonomous truck delivery, Walmart's collaboration with Gatik began in 2019 in Bentonville, Arkansas, and achieved fully driverless (no safety driver) commercial middle-mile deliveries in August 2021. Walmart previously sold its stake in drone delivery company DroneUp in January 2025.
