Walmart is expanding its drone delivery service.

It's really taken off (no pun intended) so the retail giant is going to offer it in more cities around the country.

Walmart has made 150,000 drone deliveries

USA Today is reporting that Walmart has made over 150,000 deliveries to customers by drone since it first started offering the service four years ago, back in 2021.

I haven't experienced such a delivery, but I can only imagine it's like a scene from the futuristic, animated TV show, The Jetsons.

The Jetson family flies around in a spaceship instead of driving a car on the road. They also have a robot maid named Rosie.

It seems fitting that they would get a drone delivery. Ha ha.
