Lowe’s has announced it will launch a drone‑delivery service in partnership with DoorDash and Alphabet’s Wing, CNBC reported exclusively.
The home‑improvement retailer said the new service will use Wing’s drone‑delivery technology to bring selected items to customers more quickly. DoorDash, the on‑demand delivery platform, will handle the logistics and customer interface.
Wing, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has been testing drone deliveries in a handful of U.S. cities. Lowe’s is the first large retailer to partner with the company for a commercial drone‑delivery rollout.
DoorDash’s involvement is expected to streamline the ordering process, allowing shoppers to request items from Lowe’s online and receive them via drone within a short time frame. The partnership marks a significant step for both companies as they expand beyond traditional delivery models.
Details on the exact regions where the service will be available, the range of items eligible for drone delivery, and the launch date have not yet been disclosed.
