For the first time, eligible Walmart shoppers in an area of southern Dallas can look to skies for their purchases to be delivered.

Zipline, a San Francisco-based robotics company that designs, manufactures, and operates what it says is the world’s largest autonomous delivery system, has launched service for customers who live near the Walmart Supercenter at 7401 Samuell Blvd., just south of U.S. Highway 80. Shoppers in the area can now get up to 5.5 pounds of goods delivered in minutes by drone.

More than 65,000 items from the store are eligible for delivery in under 20 minutes, the company said. That includes fresh and frozen food, pantry staples, and essentials like baby formula.

Dallas County Commissioner Theresa Daniel, Dallas City Council Member Adam Bazaldua, and representatives from Zipline and Walmart hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Supercenter to mark the launch.

While Zipline has been delivering in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area since April, the company said this marks its first service from a store in southern Dallas. Firefighters from the area received the first drone delivery from the Samuell Boulevard location.

Zipline said its all-electric, autonomous aircraft have flown more than 100 million commercial miles across four continents and delivered more than 18 million products.

The Samuell Boulevard location is the seventh Walmart Supercenter in North Texas that now offers Zipline delivery. Other participating stores are in Mesquite, Waxahachie, Kaufman, Greenville, Bedford, and Weatherford.

The company said it has made more than 1.4 million commercial deliveries to date and has safely flown the equivalent of every road in America 24 times without incident.
