Walmart Drone Delivery
Expands to Crosby

Drone delivery is expanding to parts of Greater Houston, including Crosby, giving Crosby-area shoppers a new way to receive everyday items.

Walmart and Wing announced this week that drone delivery is now available near select Walmart Supercenter locations, including Walmart Supercenter #522 at 14215 FM 2100 Road in Crosby. The rollout makes Greater Houston one of the first major regions to see the service expanded at this scale.

The service allows customers to order household essentials, groceries, and over-the-counter medications for delivery by drone, with some orders arriving in as little as 30 minutes. Available items include baby wipes, fresh produce, ground beef, toothpaste, eggs, and other everyday needs.

Wing’s drones fly at about 150 feet, can reach speeds of up to 60 mph, and deliver packages weighing up to 2.5 pounds. Orders are lowered safely to the ground using a tether system in a designated drop area.

Walmart and Wing say the Crosby launch is part of a broader plan to expand drone delivery to more stores nationwide, following successful rollouts in other major metro areas.

Drone delivery is here — how do you feel about getting your groceries from the sky?
