The Australian grocery store chain Coles has just announced that it will now be offering drone delivery services, and have groceries and other goods delivered in “minutes.”
With a zero-dollar delivery fee and no minimums, customers in the Canberra area can order over 250 of the most popular items from the comfort of their home via an app on their smart phones.
News.com.au reports that the chain has partnered with Wing, a global on-demand drone delivery service, to delivery the goods to customers.
After customers place their order, they can accept a drove to soon arrive and deliver the package of goods, in about 10 minutes or less.
We are passionate about finding innovative ways to help our customers to shop with us and we aim to deliver anytime, anywhere, anyhow shopping.
By partnering with Wing, we’re able to offer our online customers another convenient option to purchase the Coles items they know and love and get them delivered straight to their door.

Whether you’ve run out of milk and eggs for breakfast, forgotten to pick up a loaf of bread for school lunches, or are just after a fresh ‘grab and go’ snack, customers in our delivery service area in Canberra can now get those urgent items they need in a hurry, delivered by drone.
In the last year we’ve seen a significant increase in use of our on-demand drone delivery service, with many customers finding the service especially useful as they stayed home, and relied on our contactless delivery service to deliver the items they needed.
We’re delighted to be teaming up with Coles, one of Australia’s leading retailers, to expand their delivery options for customers by taking to the skies of Canberra.

‘Wing made more than 100,000 deliveries in Australia in 2021 and it has already made more than 30,000 deliveries in Australia this year,’ the new outlet wrote.
The WinePress has detailed that the World Economics Forum’s visions for the future by the year 2030 – where the masses “Will Own Nothing And Be Happy” – talk about how everything is delivered via a drone whenever someone wants something, and return it when they are done.
Once in awhile, I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy – the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes. Since transport became free, we stopped having all those things stuffed into our home. Why keep a pasta-maker and a crepe cooker crammed into our cupboards? We can just order them when we need them.

Coles has become the first store in Australia to offer this service, and will surely only spread and flourish among other chains. But even if these companies are not doing drone services just yet, many of the “Amazon-style” businesses – that offer very competitive prices, very fast shipping and returns, and massive distribution – are still able to squash out smaller businesses, while maximizing theirs, and causing customers to flock to them do to their level of forced convenience.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath NOTHING: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
Proverbs 13:4, 21:25, 26:14
This is what happens you get too comfy, too lazy, and everything because convenient. And that’s all this smart city-metaverse crap will be: smelly bums in their tiny cubical that press a button for their food and toys when they want it; just gotta make sure they stay a good global citizen, or their social credit will get docked.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
