According to its website, Zipline also plans to open up shop in the Seattle-Tacoma area in the future, but no official dates have been announced regarding this expansion.

After hundreds of thousands of test flights and years of piloting drone delivery in the U.S., Zipline has officially taken flight in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with partner Walmart.The world’s largest drone delivery provider announced Tuesday that residents located within 2 miles of a Walmart Supercenter in the suburb of Mesquite are eligible for delivery of more than 65,000 items in 30 minutes or less. Zipline told FLYING magazine the first order in Mesquite included a dozen eggs, a bag of Popcorners chips and flower bulbs for spring gardening. The company said Walmart (NYSE: WMT) will set the price of the service, which at launch is available for free.The launch also marks the introduction of Zipline’s Platform 2 (P2) delivery system, a successor to its P1 designed for quiet, precise delivery in cities and suburbs – even in rain or 45 mph gusts of wind.According to Zipline CEO Keller Rinaudo Clifton, the service delivers 10 times faster than cars, with flight times for most orders under two minutes. Clifton said customers in Mesquite, who participated in a “secret” early access program over the past few months, have described the offering as “quiet,” “gentle” and “magical.”“We’ve been blown away by the feedback from our early customers,” said Conner Wilkinson, head of community engagement at Zipline, in a statement accompanying Tuesday’s announcement. “In just a few weeks, we’ve already become a part of people’s daily routines, especially for busy parents like myself, older adults, and anyone else who wants to spend more time doing things they love and less time running errands.”Tuesday’s launch, though, “significantly” expands the number of customers who can order delivery, Zipline said. Customers can download the Zipline app or visit the company’s website to see if their household is eligible – that includes multifamily dwellings such as apartment complexes
