Walmart on Friday announced a new service that will deliver groceries inside customers’ residences, even when they’re not home.
The largest grocer in the U.S. said it would be rolling out in-home delivery this fall for more than 1 million customers in three cities: Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Mo., and Vero Beach, Fla., the Associated Press reported.
Customers will be able to place their orders online and select a delivery option and date. A Walmart employee will then bring the groceries inside the residence and place them in the fridge.
Walmart said shoppers will be able to control access to their house and watch the delivery remotely, as workers will use “smart entry technology” and wear cameras.
“We’re always looking for new ways to save customers time, and our latest innovation takes delivery a step further,” Walmart wrote on its LinkedIn page.
Walmart said it will share the cost of the new service before it launches later this year.

I’ll say what I said when Amazon launched a similar service. I do not want strangers coming into my home.
