droneup, a company in which walmart has invested, will operate the service between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., delivering packages weighing less than 10 pounds. there will be a charge of $3.99 for the delivery. once received, the order is boxed and a droneup pilot flies the drone to the customer’s location, easing the box gently down on the front lawn with a claw-like device at the end of a sturdy cable.
