Walmart is experimenting with "dark stores" to enhance delivery speed for customers, allowing them to fulfill online orders more efficiently. These stores, which are not open to the public, are designed to optimize logistics and inventory management, ultimately driving quicker delivery times.

Zipline is set to launch its innovative airborne delivery service in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, starting in Mesquite, with plans to expand to Seattle later this year. This service, which has been a decade in development, utilizes automated drones capable of delivering small packages with high precision. With over 1.4 million deliveries already completed, Zipline aims to revolutionize the retail delivery landscape.
