  • Walmart wants to deliver groceries to your fridge at home

    The big box giant is teaming with a smart lock startup called August Home to test a service in which workers would use a temporary door code to deliver groceries straight to your kitchen.

    "Think about that—someone else does the shopping for you AND puts it all away," Walmart VP Sloan Eddleston wrote in a blog post announcing the test. "This may not be for everyone – and certainly not right away – but we want to offer customers the opportunity to participate in tests."

    The deliveries will be monitored by security cameras provided by the startup, and customers will have the option of watching the process in real-time via an app. The couriers — contracted through the startup Deliv — will only let themselves in if no one answers August Home's smart doorbell, which triggers a smartphone notification when pressed.

    The trial is currently limited to a small group of August Home customers in Silicon Valley.
