Walmart has unveiled a new way for its customers to get groceries, this time, directly to their refrigerators. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon will be onstage later today to showcase the new way customers can order fresh groceries and other essentials and have them delivered directly to their kitchen or garage fridge.

The new service is dubbed Walmart InHome Delivery. With InHome Delivery, customers who order groceries will be able to select an option to have them delivered inside their homes. They’ll also get to choose a delivery day. For security, Walmart’s couriers will make use of smart entry technology to get into homes and will be equipped with a wearable camera that homeowners can monitor delivery on.

Walmart’s couriers who will deliver to customers’ homes will also go through special training to prepare them for such tasks, including how to select the freshest grocery items and how to organize them in a refrigerator. Walmart will also let customers return items delivered to their fridges, although that’ll begin later this year.

The new in-home delivery service will begin later this fall for customers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Vero Beach, Florida and Kansas City, Missouri.
