14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has recently announced a new collaboration with Manna Drone Delivery that will allow the company to ship its products to Irish customers using drones.
That’s right, if you buy the latest range of Galaxy devices (including the S21 Ultra, the Galaxy Buds Pro, the Galaxy Tab S7, the Galaxy Watch 3, and Samsung’s recently launched Galaxy A Series) from the official Samsung online store in Ireland, you’d better keep an eye on the sky because a drone is supposed to bring you the device.
This is the first time Samsung turns to such a service, and the company says it’s doing it because it allows for a totally contactless experience. And we all know how important this has become these days.
Drone delivery service already live
“The new service, which is a first for Samsung globally, will facilitate an end-to-end contactless experience for Samsung customers from their initial online order through the company’s Irish eStore, right through to fulfillment. The service will first be made available to customers based in Oranmore with Samsung and Manna keen to expand this service nationwide in the future,” the company says.
The drones fly at an altitude of 50 to 80 meters and can reach over 60 kph, so in theory, it should bring the phone you just order to your house in a matter of minutes.
The new delivery service is already live for Oranmore-based customers.
“To be able to deliver our products to our customers within three minutes of leaving the dispatch center is a brilliant example of innovation in motion. Superior customer experience is at the heart of what we do and with this new service we are embracing what we believe will be the future of retail. In the current environment, there is no better time to provide a contactless alternative to ‘click and collect’ and we are really thrilled to be partnering Manna to achieve this,” Eamonn Grant, Head of Online for Samsung Ireland said.
